How do we build an alternative modernity....a modernity and future that defies history i.e. that does not follow prevailing historical and economic conditions..

It is a question of how do we rectify history,and put the history of a nation on an alternative trajectory.
The Nazi tried to create an alternative modernity and plunged the world into darkness.

The soviets alternative modernity version plunged the world into 70 years of uncertainty and blood and pain.

The Japanese created an alternative modernity thrice with extraordinary and mixed results.the first during the 16th century when they went through a mood swing and closed their country to the entire world;in the second instance was during their 1930s with their glorified Greater East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere;the third instance was the success of the economic miracle from the 1950s.
There is one thing ,altering historical direction requires monstrous mental and physical effort because history is almost fatalistic,we don't really alter it in the real sense,we just interrupt it for a short while,maybe 50 years,maybe 100 years....but you know what HISTORY HAS ALMOST ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD

Second Dimension

My third day on attachment.Having some great time but my adventurous side is really getting the better of me.I have this unfulfilled desire for discovery.

I have the curious mind of a child and the imagination of a Romantic....i want a big and mystic world where my imagination can turn to reality,my thoughts from the metaphysical into the physical.

I live in the second dimension.....the invisible man looking for truth and beauty.....the born socialist waiting to reap from the fruits of capitalism.....the born revolutionist who believes it's too late for revolution.

I live a life of paradox in a world of great paradox.We all do.

Of Beauty and Truth

The power of the truth,why are we humans so obsessed with the truth?In the medieval times the truth was Absolute.Everything could be explained only through the eyes of God.In some way the mind was confined in some small place.Tiny.Imagination was killed.

In some way.it's our imagination that keeps us going.Imagination creates hope.Hope creates the will.The will creates what is real to us.

But the reality.What is reality.At the end of the 19th century the world entered a hopeful millennium,inspired by a passionate pursuit of truth.Thoughts that changed conventional thinking and culture.From music ,arts and science ,the universe we recreated through bold thinking last witnessed in the renaissance,and like in the past ,people were ready to die for truth.

It was a time of beauty.People were able to experience the divine and the unconventional.That is the greatness of our minds.We can open our minds to truth imagination and creation and build an extraordinary reality,or we can close our minds to imagination and submit ourselves to 'reality' and fate.The truth is ,we almost certainly create our own fate .It is the wonderful choice that only God could give.Can you recreate your fate?
