Buddha Impetus to Primitive Psyche.  https://sites.google.com/site/sheltonranasinghe3/  It is pretty strange how the human psyche works or behaves. I am in the opinion the Buddha is one person who understood this very clearly. My idea is to give a rational review of what the Buddha taught to the world without having a blind faith on the scripture.   Religions provide answers to the questions of mystic nature. How the mystic ideas came into the minds of primitive man and how the religions evolved into present forms, is briefly elaborated in my first  book " Buddha Impetus to primitive Psyche". Almost all people stick to the belief systems induced by the parents. Irrespective of ones religion, this is a strange phenomenon of our psyche, which we do not perceive. Some people can be driven to commit suicide in the name of their belief system. This explains how external ideas implanted in us after birth, play a dominant role in our life journey. As to how our brain cells are programmed to accommodate this unique feature of “I” ness in us is the mystery of all mysteries. The core Buddha teachings address the “I” ness in a comprehensive manner. The Buddha is reputed as a supreme person of enormous knowledge, specifically in the thinking about thinking. This book explores the core elements of Buddha teachings in a broader manner with a different dimension of logical insight, analysis and rationale.     The status of mindfulness, the logic of ending unhappiness, the purpose of meditation, etc., have been extensively exposed from conventional Buddhist realms by correlating these to mind programs. The author has explained, why he postulates “self” as a mere sub-program in an innate brain program and he believes that we have been programmed to presume as we are “the program” but we are not; the main brain program runs us.    Heaven at SETI's Doorstep Heaven at SETI’s Doorstep is based on the delivery of a very topical message within a science fiction format. Unlike the usual alien adventure story it is serious, short and precise and has a very different type of presentation of technology, philosophy and ideology. The narrative is blended in a mix of interesting concepts for readers of all ages with an interest in science fiction and philosophy. The really remarkable and singular feature of the book unravels as the characters of the aliens are exposed in the later chapters. The second half of the book is a journey of discovery of possibilities and alternatives always pointing towards a comparison with parallel systems on earth. It is also replete with unexpected, exciting and emotional events. Without warning, a negative turn enters the relationship between earth and the aliens and goes beyond the fictional content of the book to pose a major philosophical conundrum for readers to ponder.
