Same instant is differently kept in various places on the globe; Time-keeping is unique to humans And is a ritual followed religiously; The counting of time is Religion-, Culture-, region-specific Almanacs, calendars, follow respective faiths and traditions; What we are measuring when we are keeping time? Is it the revolutions of earth round the sun, www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 Or, the period since the big-bang took place? Are we measuring anything real at all? All counting is human creation and invention Disappears with human civilization The myth of existence of time Separate from the process, event, happening, has Pervaded our psyche; Illusion is time’s physical existence Influencing our lives and activities; Non-reality is measured as reality Non-existing thing is counted and kept ceremoniously Celebrating events accordingly Creating our past, present and future From which whirlpool we come out never; Time-keeping is civilized human activity Imprisoning them in past, present and future; And timelessness, The state of bliss, peace, silence and unoccupied awareness, When the ego, related and other mental activities abstain themselves, Is never allowed to be experienced Time-keeping and adhering to it is stressful and strain-causing activity, Transcending time sense is calmness To wriggle out of this quagmire Is difficult and confusing; Sense and passage of time is absent for infants, kids and other animals; Let us be infant- or kid- like sans of ego; Of course transcending animal nature but not the instincts; A bird’s eye view of time-keeping thus Makes us understand time sense and timelessness; Varanasi Ramabrahmam www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 3 A Complete Man I learn, I teach; I study, I preach; I compose poems, weave stories, Write essays, pen opinions; I do research, prepare scientific articles; I love nature, music, books, conversing, Traveling and roaming; Until I also love and be loved By an equally passionate she, Have unalloyed love for HIM, And compassion for fellow-beings I am not a complete man Varanasi Ramabrahmam www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 4 A Flow Of Tranquility When my mind merges with my SELF Who am I? What is my Being? Friendships and passions no more stir Grief and aches no longer grip It's neither dream nor deep sleep No sense of time but am aware Nothing is in the awareness Still completeness pervades Within is like a serene lake Without thought waves I am awake Mind that has engulfed within Disappeared as river into the ocean Streams of sense move in and as silence When the mind dissolves itself in the SELF Am an intuitive seer A dynamic loving Being A blissful awareness A flow of tranquility Varanasi Ramabrahmam www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 5 A Monologue With An Atheist Being an atheist does not harm any one Even you dear non-believer; Only your insistence that Every one must follow your belief That God does not exist is not possible; God does not need more votes For His Being and Lordship; He is already an Emperor of the world And though has democratic spirit Is an Individual practicing Natural justice And implements it without fear or favor If we care He is experienced when logic and reasoning set And faith in Divinity sets in Your insistence about Non-existence of God is based On your faith; you are not aware of it On the other hand You criticize us for our Faith in HIM? The question is not God exists or not The reality is We are Divine Varanasi Ramabrahmam www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 6 A Scientific Perspective Of The Upanishads (Opinion) It is a popular belief that Upanishads are texts of theology and religion. But Upanishads are also texts of science. How? Please go through this article. Upanishads are treasure-houses of Indian spirituality and wisdom. They together with The Brahma Sutras and The Bhagavadgita are traditionally commented upon theologically linking to God and hence religion. Thus we have advaita view of Sankara, , visistaadvaita view of Ramanuja, dvaita view of Madhwa and Saaktaadvaita view as chief and popular views and sects are created around each of them. Vedanta Darsana and advaita siddhanta have their roots in the Upanishads. Upanishads together with Vedanta and advaita philosophy can be viewed and understood from modern psychological and scientific points of view also. Such a view reveals the psychological and scientific content of the Upanishadic awareness. This view can be applied beneficially to the fields of mind-machine modeling, physiological psychology and natural language comprehension branch of artificial intelligence. Upanishads propose the existence of Atman in individuals and Upanishads are source books of Atma Jnana. Atma Jnana consists of the theory of the origin, structure, function, cessation and control of mind in the four conscious states or phases of mind in which it works and ceases to work. Atma Jnana also provides us with the details of the source of psychic or mental energy whose changes and transformations enable us to know, perceive, reason, intuit, understand/experience and be aware of all these processes. a) PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC MEANINGS OF CHIEF UPANISHADIC MAHAVAKYAS 1. Aham Brahma Asmi I AM BRHMAN I AM SELF The real identity of ‘I’ is Unoccupied Awareness. The state of SELF. ‘I’ is not a body, person, thought or not a sense. ‘I’ is pure consciousness. ‘I’ is the impersonal Seer which is the source of mental energy and guide of and witness to transformation of mental energy as mental functions but unaffected by them and transcending both mental functions and their cessation. 2. Tat Tvam Asi THAT IS YOU YOU ARE THE SELF Self and Pure Consciousnesses are same in nature, content, structure, form (function) and presence. At a given moment either self-consciousness or pure www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 7 consciousness will be present. Self-consciousness is super imposition over pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is continuous, self-consciousness is transient and transitory. 3. Ayam Atma Brahma THIS ATMAN IS BRAHMAN ATMAN= BRAHMAN=SELF Atman is Brahman – Unoccupied Awareness –- Energy Presence without transformation. 4. Prajnanam Brahma PRAJNANAM IS BRAHMAN PRAJNANAM IS SELF Brahman– as Atman –– Energy Presence – is Mental Time- Space and Continuous Awareness. Prajnanam is Unoccupied (by cognitions, thoughts, cognition-related and created experiences, senses or their retrieval) Awareness in Pure Consciousness. 5 Raso vy Saha AWARENESS OF MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE/EXPERIENCED MEANING IS BRAHMA ALL SOUNDS &SENSES ORIGINATE & MERGE IN SELF Experience of Essence of the meanings of all vakyas (sentences) - All Cognition-related experiences in the awareness of the Atman- Meaningful Experience. Silence. Peace. Bliss. Experienced meaning. Purport. 6. Anando Brahma BLISS IS BRAHMAN STATE OF SELF IS STATE OF BLISS Unoccupied Awareness is bliss. 7. Sarvam Khalu Idam Brahma ALL IDAM IS BRAHMAN ALL KNOWN/ PERCEIVED / EXPERIENCED/UNDERSTOOD WORLD IS PART AND PARCEL OF AND CONTAINED IN SELF; IS A SUPERIMPOSITION ON THE REAL I STATE Idam, (prapancham or jagat) (all the world - the collection of cognitions sensed by sense organs through the medium of manas) – is composed in, made up of, sustained by, rests in and ceases to be because of and part and parcel of psychic energy pulse generator – Atman. b) WHAT IS ‘I’? The real identity of ‘I’ according to Upanishads: The term ‘I’, denotes human consciousness. Human consciousness is awareness of human mind. ‘I’ is not a term denoting any of an individual, individual’s body, self- consciousness, the social status, age, gender, nationality etc., www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 8 ‘I’ is the unoccupied awareness or pure consciousness in the individual in the Jagrat Sushupti (wakeful sleep) consciousness state when peace, bliss, silence and oneness or non-duality is experienced.

  • Vital Ties: Digitally-Mediated Intimacies Between the Living and the Dead by Molly Bales
    Vital Ties: Digitally-Mediated Intimacies between the Living and the Dead by Molly Bales DISSERTATION Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Medical AMhtopology in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO Copyright 2018 by Molly Hales ii Dedication To my father, Peter Bacon Hales, who was the inspiration for this project in many ways. He was a historian of American culture who was particularly interested in the role that certain forms of media have played in shaping cultural ideas and ideals. He also read every single one of my papers until his death in 2014, and his encouragement still rings in my ears. Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to my dissertation committee members, Ian Whitmarsh (chair), Lawrence Cohen, and Daniel Fisher. I owe a particular dept to Ian Whitmarsh; many of the key questions and ideas guiding this dissertation were developed in conversations with him, and I feel that they are his as much as mine (although the errors and oversights are entirely my own). His approach to anthropological theory—which involves finding and building on its strengths rather than looking for its flaws—has provided a much-needed corrective to my own sweeping critiques. He also went above and beyond the call of duty in reading and re-reading the many variable iterations of this manuscript. Daniel Fisher pushed me to theorize mediation, and his insights into materiality and form have opened up new horizons in my thinking. Finally, I thank Lawrence Cohen for encouraging me to more carefully situate my critique of contemporary grief theory, as well as for his close and thoughtful reading of the manuscript.

Larsen, 220 State Street, Oregon, Wisconsin 53575, and was donated to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “This work is dedicated to the unknown persons, likely a Goodrich relative, who, with great care, transcribed the original letters, and deposited that transcription with a Minneapolis book dealer for evaluation.

Biographical note: Charles Perry Goodrich was born in the Town of Stockbridge, Madison County, New York on February 8, 1831.

The family purchased land and farmed near the Town of Oakland in Jefferson County and young Charles enjoyed the farming life with all its chores.
