A Night At The Space

Works in progress. Vishal is taking a break from the laser harp and taking on a side project which should be done sooner than the harp. I am continuing work on the hank drum, and plan to create a double sided drum before painting it.

Here's a short video on the progress.


Watch on youtube for best quality.

Man is objective driven.

The first objective, as most biological life, is survival. Second is replication.

These two factors create most of our behaviors and actions.

So where do we stand today?

I will attempt to answer this by asking a few questions.


1. What is better than not surviving.

  • The answer is, survival. 
- Without survival our biological self ceases to exist. The only remains of the "self" is the energy that is released from our decomposing bodies. Death is not good for any individual form of biological life, besides the life that feeds on the dead.


2. What is better than survival?

  • The answer is, surviving comfortably.
- If we must survive, we would obviously like to survive in happiness. Being well fed with plenty of mates to choose from, we live fine lives comfortably surviving. There is less stress in surviving comfortably than surviving with difficulty in constant competition.

3. What is better than surviving comfortably?

  • The answer is, surviving in abundance.
- While surviving comfortably is a nice lifestyle for a biological life form, living in abundance is an even greater one. With more food than one can eat, more mates than one can choose, and more activity to keep oneself stimulated is living in abundance. With primal instincts stuck in the the old system, this era of evolution is filled with excess eating, excess stimulation, excess reproduction, with virtually no danger of death from competition causing excess sedation.
4. What is better than surviving abundantly?
  • The answer is, surviving in abundance while maintaining moderation.
 - This new step in evolution has been attained by some today, yet battling the whole time to fight the primal instincts that the majority succumb to. This is the next step in evolution and will only come from discipline and self determination. The few who practice these qualities today are successful because they truly deserve it. They are fighting a battle with odds against them. Though it must be done for the sake of humanity. These rebels against the nature of our universe will be the ones to take us to the next level. Strive to be one of these rebels. Fight back against what will only bring you pain. You will persevere. It is survival of the fittest. Fittest no longer means strength, but intelligence. And only those who fight the these instincts which now work against us for survival, will take our species to a new level of evolution. With their intelligence as well as strict determination, we will be a stronger, more industrious people than ever before.
