Ripped Apart or Connected?

Present times are terrifying! 

Because of the constant compulsion to perform, to prove, to argue, to establish, to position, to critique, to verify, to analyze, to judge, to decide…..what I experience is ‘fatigue’. 

Why the hell should every moment be dissected and evaluated? Or every dimension of the mind be analyzed? Why not let things ‘be’ as they are? 

The process of constant dissection feels like you have ripped apart the phenomenon – situation, object or the person. What remains in the end? Nothing. The feeling of nothingness greets you by billion dissection criteria imposed on the phenomenon. This should make you realize that ALL phenomenon stem out of the ‘void’. 

Having realized it, then the next question to ask yourself is – is it really worth the effort to dissect everything time and again? As I write this, I realize that dissection is the by product of the Intellect – it will do so and will reach the conclusion that nothing remains after slicing things this far….It is a lonely feeling at the end of the tunnel.

Seers talk of the same thing – albeit the emphasis in “dissolving” the ego/mind is NOT by dissection, but by generating the idea of compassion – or expansion of the mind to encompass ALL known and unknown phenomena, so that what is seen, is the relative nature of reality itself and the STUFF that creates this idea of relativity. The fundamental thing is to “observe” things and “feel” the essence of the phenomena happening for you! This results in ‘you’ and the ‘phenomena’ being one and the same! 

The first method requires a lot of mind working, the other approach requires stillness of the mind. The first method can reject mind itself, the other method makes the mind fluid. The first method generates feelings of anxiety, loneliness, doubt, paranoia. The second method generates feelings of compassion. 

Which method do you prefer?
