Deduce, explore, invent & discover

  

Deduce, explore, invent & discover

I was fascinated by these 4 concepts right from my kid age !

I didn’t consciously club these together. It just got clustered in me by itself.

Probably, as I try to deduce it now, it could be because of the one-out-of possible many commonalities that these four have----namely, they engage the element of ‘wonder’ (a trait that most of us fail to preserve while growing into our adulthood.)

these ideas are mine. My mind cannot claim infallibility.

Whereas, I can claim the sanctity of my purpose. To share what I consider to be good.

I intend to start with a very brief real life example. These 4 are a bit distinct from each other.

I leave it to the readers to deduce the difference. I needed a discovery, to reach the deduction, traveling via exploration, and then I invented a crazy excuse to deliver what I deduced.

So,

Deduce (first)


one of the persons close to me, reminded me of ‘something’ that can be done with a 2month-old baby, by way of an experiment. The aim of this experiment was to explore the possibility of waking up the potential in that nascent-life(the baby) to become receptive to discovering the basics of life..... embedded in that ‘new-fresh-lease of life’ :) For this, I had thought of a very simplistic experiment. In a way, I had to devise this process (though, the process is pretty ancient in its bare-form. Only the possibility had to be explored, using the discovery about it, and inventing a technique new to me too!)


this person could have deduced it by oneself !!!!

How?
I try to look at the-how?

The baby knows very little about our-world. Everything will be a discovery for that kid. The tool to discover is at its best of sharpness, simply because the mind is quiet (what does a baby think? Possibly, nothing :) then? Well all it can-do all its waking hours is just-to-wonder :) isn’t it?)

the source of inputs for a baby is its 5 sense organs.

It doesnt even know how to use these 5 at-its-best. Too innocent (actually, ignorant).  Nature takes care of providing tools of discovery to every life-form, and therefore to the baby as well.

This person could-have deduced as to “what possibly could I have suggested as an experiment?” (I intent to request this person to go through this. Exactly why, I avoided any personal references, so that the other-reader’s mind is left-free to focus on the correctness of my ideas :))

Among the 5 senses of perception, I guess the subtlest is probably the sense of hearing.
The kid doesn’t pay too much attention to the sounds, as compared to the eyes, that ‘see’ (but yet-to look, behold, perceive, observe... etc)

So the person could-have deduced that I might be using something to promote the use of ‘sound’

Now, it so happens----this person had been exploring for quite-a-while, as to what the ‘vibes-of-sounds, (the primordial forms, which permeate even through the vast emptiness of space in the universe, using a prescribed tool of chanting a well-formulated, structured, and tested form of these three basic-sounds in the universe)....do. The A, U, M ,.... popularly known as Om, or aum... in the hindu culture since 5k years :)

so, the experiment ought-to-be about,.......observing “how the baby responds” to these sound forms while receiving it through perceivable decibels of its ear lobes, ear etc. (as a preparation, it also so-happened that we were educating the kid while it was 5 months plus in the womb. Traditionally, a right time to start a kid’s education, as per the ancient culture of Bharat)

Eliminating all other possibilities, this person could have deduced it by-oneself and awaited for my confirmation, to discover in that person, that the mind was exploring in the right-direction :)) !!!

Reasoning to eliminate other possibilities?

4 other sensory levels are not likely to enhance the levels of perception in the kid. Touch, taste, vision, and smell are carrying the experience of ‘too much of familiarity’ enough to invoke a sense of priority, which dulls the element of wonderment and therefore the craze to explore.

Sound, when it invokes the ‘only-sense of perception whilst in the womb’ happens to urge a sense of ‘continuity’ of exploration, since the flight of knowledge is “from-known-to-unknown”.

doesn’t matter, if this person didn’t happen to deduce. There is still scope to deduce ‘why didn’t it OCCUR to me?”

deducingly yours,
