Welcome to the Module 01 and Module 05 "Monologues" thread!
("Scroll-and-a-Half" / 150 words)
Consider what you've written down from your brainstorm in the Meditation portion of our exercises. What jumps out at you that's wanting to be explored a little more deeply? Come up with a topic based around these meditations and write an essay about your personal perspective on the matter. This could be a single aspect or multiple elements from your list. In addition to sending in via e-mail, if you feel like sharing with your peers go ahead and post here with or without including your "Meditation" and/or "Mindfulness" responses added in together. This is voluntary and will not effect your points one way or another, however it will add to our community vibe and could stir up conversation for any "Mingling" points you may wish to accrue as Extra Credit.

Discussion point: What is the main thing that operates the whole Universe? Is it the people, or any other kind of extraterrestrial intelligence? Are we real? Why are we here? What do we do here?
That’s an easy answer, but to explain my though what the process is, I have to go deeper and touch some aspects of Philosophy. In Philosophy, we consider Skepticism as a theory which was expanded by Philosophers such as David Hume and Rene Descartes. According to the general explanation of Skepticism, it explains that the knowledge we obtain from our own perceptions and reality can be different depending on the situation. David Hume had argued that our perceptions only give us knowledge framed only to the specific time of situation, which cannot explain its persistence in the future. Of course, still those observations and conclusions can be kept apart from the real logic of truth and reality, as knowledge assumed to be truth is not the actual reality, something vividly get far from the mindset of knowledge suggested by the sense we have got.
I am a supporter of the Skepticism theory. We truly know nothing. What we refer as we know is just a shadow of the truth. Mathematically, the possibility flowing between two options it is the truth or not is 50 – 50. The possibility of being it is the truth exactly is the half of the complete scenario, where the other half decides it is not the truth. What we sense is the exertion of the external details created out of these decisions, which is rather ironic. We actually don’t know anything, despite having the mind to think on something, it just gives the answer of what we believe to be the truth. Mind is controlled by you, and your mental energy is stored there and it doesn’t make any sense towards the real truth is controlled by a third party. Likewise, the wisest man could mistake because the truth is being created by an unknown force.
Simply, if a box of sweets is kept somewhere as directed by our perceptions, there is no any other evidence we have to prove it expects the perceptions. Descartes argued that the senses can trick us declaring that it is possible we mistake the dreams we have with reality, and not what we mean by reality. Accordingly, the mind we have is closer to us that how close are our perceptions to us. Perceptions try to direct messages of what happen in the outside, but mind tries to process them and create a fine output that abides by the previous input. Mind is a strong system of the organisms, and it is the main thing that controls the events occurring in the real world. I believe we are controlled by mind, similar to the way we control the mind. Realistically, it’s obvious that events happen according to the reacted nature of perceptions following the directions of the mind, which is rather deeper. Emotions and powers such as Faith and Hope can be defined as the roots of the big tree called mind. The energies we have within us are the strong fences that protect this golden tree, which proves we are on the place we believed to be.
