“There is nothing supernatural about visions - or to be more accurate, contrary to traditional belief, it's not messages from some extraterrestrial domain. Visions are indeed messages from a mysterious realm alright, but like the everyday realm of human perception, the transcendental realm as well is creation of brain chemicals. I won't go into details here, as I already did that in my early days. One of my earliest works, Autobiography of God, contains a detailed analytical account of the neurobiology of transcendental experiences. However, the question is not whether there is an explanation, the question is, is it worth explaining! Because, while sometimes the lack of explanation facilitates superstition, some things are better left unexplained - such as, love.”

“- My brain tells me this is nothing. But my blood wants it. I am sorry.
-Why be sorry? You think this is a good thing to be all brain and no blood? It is as bad as being all blood and no brain. The right mixture - that is what is important.”

Thought bends under pressure,
Intelligence bends under pressure -
Only love is crazy enough to stand unbent,

“Tierratitan, Sonnet
I only have one advice for you,
own your life, from head to toe -
unapologetically alive and original,
not a carbon copy, with second hand woe.
Civilization is not a conjuring trick,
Civilization is a long labor of life.
You don't figure out everything overnight,
You figure out things over time.
Sweet dreams are made of sweat-n-dare.
Sweat makes it sweet, dare brings it true.
Sweet society is made of reason-n-care,
When I'm your shelter, my shelter is you.
I be your vision, you be my mission.
Divided we drown, together, Tierratitan.”

“All in The Mind (The Sonnet)
God is all in the mind,
What's wrong with that!
Art is also all in the mind,
So, is art nothing but dirt!
Yes, plenty harm has been done,
In the name of God.
The same can be said,
About science and art.
Dividers will always divide,
Haters will always hate.
Apes will find one excuse or another,
To justify their authoritarian trait.
For example, 9/11 wasn't religion's fault,
Any more than Hiroshima was science's fault.”

“What is Truth (The Sonnet)
There is not one but two truths,
truth of facts and truth of good.
Truth of facts is worth the honor,
when it serves the truth of good.
Truth of facts thrives on logic,
an effective antidote to prejudice.
Where it sucks the sweetness of life,
truth of facts is carrier of malice.
Truth of facts is carrier of logic,
Truth of good is carrier of life.
Often times they cohabit the mind,
sometimes facts only undermine life.
Pride of truth is the good it does,
without which all facts are futile.
Truth of good is truth absolute,
absence of heart makes logic vile.”

“Education is not
western or eastern -
no matter the geography,
education is education.
It must call out superstition
and prejudice wherever it festers,
just like it must call out
cold intellectual arrogance.”

“Evolution really does tell us something deep and profound about the world in which we live—something that Darwin glimpsed but that is much more obvious today. As it turns out, there really is a design to life, but it’s not the clumsy, interventionist one in which life is an artificial injection into nature, a contradiction of its physical laws. Rather, it is a design in which life emerges from the laws of the universe around us. That conclusion is unavoidable, robust, and scientific. The elegant universe is a universe of life. And the name of the grand design of life is evolution.”
