Here I am not restricting the topic to the scientific discovery or something that added to development of human civilization rather I emphasize the totality of knowledge, findings, inventions that either helped us or not that doesn’t matter here in my discussion but anything that provoked peoples to say aha…I got it was something that he never expected to happen and there was little correlation with the past effort or direction he was applying to achieve something extraordinary.
There have been numerous instances of scientific discoveries in the last century, peoples were searching for years something that turns out to be very different. Today ever organizing human system has developed ways of finding things this has made more difficult to reach extraordinary inventions that otherwise would have been possible accidentally. Now everything that might add to our values largely depends on what is existing before it and that gives it direction and limits out action as well as possible outcomes. In this type of situation there is limited possibility of coming up with something revolutionary or original.
let us go through some examples one by one that will solidify this point. the most common examples can be Newtons finding about gravitational pull when seeing apple falling from tree and Archimedes theory of bouncy while taking bath in his bathtub. The true historical facts about those happenings are doubtful but they can be a great starting point.
Along the same line i want to discuss what is called spirituality or different state of mind that some peoples stumbled into. Later those individuals like Buddha or gurus of modern ages tried to reproduce their experiences into other individuals through methods and theories. This failed miserably. There have been several account of pro-claimants of enlightened peoples who had some sort of extraordinary experience that was not the part of meditation practices rather to realize that there is nothing to it.
Companies who today became giant started with arbitrary ideas that happens to be a great success and that firm in the course of time turns into a giant. Similar things are observed about movies when directors comes up with his presumably wonderful theme but movie flops badly and in opposite cases they simple created one movie that turns out a big hit. There are no explanations about the success of some particular celebrities despit having other good adversaries why this person came on top cannot be explained.
One result of this writing that i can think of drawing is you cannot stumble into something extraordinary as long as you follow some sort of method or system or theories to reach your goal.

Buddha is regarded as God equivalent being among many Buddhist countries as well as other followers of Buddhism. He is like a perfect being who know everything about the past and future of mankind he cannot be wrong. Unfortunately his teachings are still wrecking havoc on the human society today it is so deeply seeped into our minds that its impossible to find every culprit thought and brush it aside. Buddha was the initial known who started religious conversion by roaming different parts of India as well as directing disciple to visit different countries.Tthis idea was later copied by Christians and Islam to start converting more peoples under one organized religion.
In the times of nomadic civilization when people had very simple way of living and thinking the laymen theories given by Buddha which today anyone can create had might have some essence or impact to those peoples but today if you follow them you can be in big trouble. For example Buddha said creeving or attachment to the objects and wanting is the root cause of all problems and we must systematic destruction of creeving is the way to Nirvana. Buddha himself had some blissful experience but those innocent peoples were also in that state just not knowing that there cannot be any better state that this. So above theory if it has bit of truth in it can only be misinterpreted by masses. Those peoples who had excess appetite for their wanting might have fallen themselves into misery but remaining average peoples that didnt want two time meal, average possession and sex were also forced to abandon their wanting. whereas it is very simple to understand that if you get rid of all desires its very difficult to survive. Human consciousness needs some goal for the continuity of itself.
He introduced celibacy for the first time that the worst outcome of today’s lame human society. Some of their disciple tried to follow celibacy and were deprived of sex. Later those peoples found themselves in neurotic situations when they wanted to sex and through some moral strings not able to do so. Some of his followers like Bodhisattva had to say what all Buddha teaches was a complete junk and dangerous to mankind. That was the old time but today also peoples are performing some or other form of celibacy. In orthodox society like India womans have been taught to make sex less available. Not only that all over the world sex is still seen as taboo and there are numerous laws preventing various forms of sexual services to practice.
Buddha described life is misery which was later copied and repeated by several monks, spiritual leaders, gurus etc. Peoples had their routine life problem that is quit normal as life is balance of reward and punishment but by this knowledge peoples related their life to only misery this knowledge gave continuity to this misery, several incidents took place around the world where peoples committed suicide. Because they saw life as only full of sorrow.

In the beginning when for the first time man found himself separate from rest of existence it later it was also realized that root cause of all suffering and limiting his actions are thought that created separation. Then started series of techniques to suppress thought, today we know them as meditation of different kinds. All those methods were no help to mankind and failed miserably. Behind all unsuccessful attempts to control thought was the fact that thought cannot end itself. Thought is a self protecting mechanism that is foreign to the body and thrives on it. Can fire burn itself? can water wet itself? you eyes see itself? so there is no chance that thought can kill itself and the one who is trying to suppress those thought is another thought.

There is no concrete boundary that we can define for our individual existence. If brain is the seat of your existence then it needs heart and veins all over the body for its functioning, heart needs carbohydrate from combustion of food in stomach, to get food you need the entire body structure with skeleton and mussels that acquires food from external source. Skin is required to protect the body from harsh environment now there we stop. From the knowledge give by culture we say that this whole body and conscious is you and rest everything is external. But body cannot function without air, water and rest of living/dead out there so there is no concrete line one can draw that separates you from others.
———————————-
All sensations are the pair for stimuli and response. Anything that you say or experience through thought is external. For example seeing a beautiful woman hardening of penis is the only relevant response and thinking of love, saying beautiful to her, fantasizing about love making, writing poems on her beauty or painting etc all are irreverent and come from external knowledge. Similar on the line seeing and smelling any food there will be chemical changes in stomach and tendency to consume it anything other than that like regarding it has good or bad is external.
———————————-
In past several personalities that went through some form of psychological or psychical mutation and found themselves into entirely new way of living and seeing life accepted that there is no way one can use knowledge or realization from any other source and solve their problem. Because all you do to solve them becomes part of thought which is dead. This thought structure which is a like a enemy in the battle field that caches all armors targeted at him and turn into more deadly one then directs it back to you. That is why they kept repeating that there is nothing you do anything that you do only adds momentum to it.
