Well meditation is a terminology that has baffled philosophers, scientists and the common man for ages. It is a term which in the hindu mythology takes you out to a transcendental experience where the common soul becomes one with the infinite soul. Sometimes when I ponder what this could be, I am stumped with lack of data about what this feeling is. Sages say that you are a mute spectator to events happening to your body. With such a comment I am compelled to address it with science or rather metaphysics to try address this position with the little knowledge that I possess in the field.
Time is an event, or is it a scale where the clock tells what point you are measuring. Or are we in a stationary world with time moving or time stationary with events happening. The same apple kept on the table is not the same yesterday and today, though the spatial location may be unchanged. The theory of relativity, which I donot understand talks of the fourth dimension of reality namely time.

Utopia
Well the word Utopia has raked pholosophers, socialists, communalists and has been the aspirations of the common man from time the man has supposedly become civilized. There is an cruel irony behind this concept. A civilized man wanting a more civilized society! Questions of these kind take up to the top notches of discussions of evolution, where the survival of the gene is of paramount importance and this renders the path to societal development. Every thinker has had his idea of utopia and I propound one.
The idea comes from the multitude of events I have witnessed in my times, global wars fought over piece of land, wars on the name of religion, racism and many others deplorable activities that man inflicts on man. The Utopian land is not a remote island but I am briefing you about how my concept could nullify all these problems that the world currently faces. I talk of a unified world. A world with common currency, common government and more importantly without any boundaries. A man can migrate from one place to another without any prohibitions on his movement. The resources of the entire world belong to each and everyone of humanity.
Just take the example of two bloody terriost wars being waged now. The solution to the India - Pakisthan conflict over Kashmir would be solved if there is no India or Pakisthan, or rather it is one country. Then what would one fight for? Similarly If Israel, Palestine and Arab countries were one nation, then where is there a question of one holy land. It belongs to all the worshippers.
There is always a society, following socialist darwinism. A concept wherein there is a difference in allocation of resources to the people, the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer. The concept of rich and poor is something that cannot be so easily be done in democracy where people have a right to action and representation. This should not be done with. It would just lead to decadence of humanity as a whole. A communist idea could lead to losing of words in the english dictionary like hard work, dedication, ambition and other beautiful terminologies that depict the ascent of man. Without a difference in wealth and resource allocation there would be no dynamism in society, it would come to a disturbing halt.
I had rallied for a long time about the need for money. I was thinking that no money in this world would be ideal. For example, a farmer would just farm his land and sell his crops. If he wants fertilizers, he would go to the fertilizer shop and procure one without any monetary transaction. The fertilizer shop owner would just have to go to the farmer if he wants food and this web of events without any monetary activities would go on. But there seems to be a problem. There could be a dearth of quality and improvement of the products. People will stop being hard working and innovative, in other words there would be a decay of society. So money is of paramount importance in running the civilization and can not be done away with in my Utopia.
The law and government should be ideal in defining a Utopia.
