Moksha (mukti)
= release The Charvaka1 observes that moksha (mukti), translated as release, liberation, emancipation,
nirvana and so on, actually happens at biological death2 and when an
animated body turns into an inanimate cadaver. The promise by religious fantasists that moksha entails
transition from this world (of suffering)3 to freedom in an hypothetical alternate non-tangible4 reality or simply
freedom from rebirth in this world5 is egregious fraud, albeit beneficial.6 The fraud is
intended to comfort, console and give hope to the suffering and make the
fraudsters7 rich and powerful. The Charvaka realises happens
moksha if and when a8 problem, such
as pain/suffering,9 has been resolved.10 However, such
release, signalled11 with pleasure/joy, is achieved by
perfecting the basic function12 of survival in one’s actual world.13 © 2022 by

1. i.e. the mind-set
of the individual who demands tangible, hence physical evidence as ‘proof’ (Sanskrit:
pramana) of a claim. 2. Two forms of
death (i.e. cessation of animation) occur. Virtual (i.e. seeming) death (i.e. non-responsiveness) occurs when
waking coma is self- or other-induced via concentration = distraction (and
usually called samadhi). Attainment of virtual death is, for instance, perfected
by means of YOGA. Actual death ensues when the heart stops beating and the
brain, i.e. the biological navigation system (i.e. the BIO-Nav) ceases functioning. 3. Described by mendacious
Christian propagandists as ‘this vale of woe’ which,
they falsely claim, serves as preparation for ‘the next world’, and promised as
eternally blissful. Some rather more insane religious fraudsters, like St
Augustine, even claim, without providing hard evidence, that only ‘grace’,
rather than personal effort (or positive karma) can transport to the ‘next
world.’ 4. That is to say,
supernatural. 5. To wit, freedom
from samsara conceived of as the endless
return/rebirth in this world. The extremely vague notions of samsara, karma and moksha were invented
in the later Upanishads, round about 500BC to 200BC, as was the Vedantic
notion of the human ideal, namely of the jivanmukta, that is to
say, of the human ‘who is released while yet in the body,’ i.e.
of the comatose escapist. 6. In other words,
a placebo. 7. i.e.
priests/politicians, such as the Pope and his cardinals and bishops. 8. Indeed, any. 9. Pain/suffering
self-signals under- or dys-function, i.e. the failure to complete a survival function (in any
world/locality). 10. This was the
stated goal of Samkya-Yoga, Buddhism and Jainism. 11. Self-signalled by
and individual’s auto-piloting system (as BIO-Nav). 12. Or any
(recursive) super-(i.e. surface structure) function
of that basic (or ground) function. 13. The basic
function being to
perfect/further (i.e. complete) one’s self-as-natural-emergent and which in
turn perfects/furthers (i.e. completes) nature as a whole. In other words,
happiness or joy signal self-perfection and which in turn perfects the world.
The religious fantasists’, indeed supernaturalists’ notion of ‘escaping from
the world’ to a ‘better world’ is infantile (i.e.
serving primary developmental phase) nonsense. |
