Members of the Aghori sect in India haunt cremation grounds and practice
extreme rituals believing that by breaking religious taboos they overcome
dualistic thinking that is a barrier to becoming one with God.
Of all the things the mind can perceive that enable us to decide what is and what isnt. If it isnt, isnt it real? What is reality, how do we understand it? What is consciousness? the ability to be aware. This is an effort to collate some information I have stumbled upon in my amazing voyage of discovery. This is a blog about the Vedas and the String theory, the observer and the observed, the phenomenon and perception, about the masters and their teachings.

ABC Radio Interview on Aghora
Susan Blackmore on Human Conciousness - Audio Interview
Featured Interview: Dr. Susan Blackmore explores her journey from a
disillusioned parapsychology researcher to an author on human consciousness,
and her conclusions: "We live in a pointless universe. We're here for no
reason at all. There isn't a soul. There isn't a spirit. We're not going to
live forever in some kind of heaven, or something like that. And, I think
there are no paranormal phenomena, although I can't be sure of that. Yet, we
have extraordinary experiences."

The Hawking Paradox
The hawking Paradox
The very question on the nature of reality
if there is an entangled pure state, and one part of the entangled system is thrown into the black hole while keeping the other part outside, the result is a mixed state after the partial trace is taken over the interior of the black hole. But since everything within the interior of the black hole will hit the singularity within a fixed finite time, the part which is traced over partially might "disappear", never to appear again. Of course, it is not really known what goes on at singularities once quantum effects are taken into account, which is why this theory is conjectural and controversial.
