Frequency

 

Mind is a Force operating at various frequencies or vibrations – much like the radio.

A vibration is an acknowledgement (or a reaction/response) directed towards the internal and external environment. The ‘sense’ of Force and Matter is felt because of the vibrations we feel or create. We are already in the web of vibrations, the starting point of which, we don’t know. These vibrations generate certain perceptions of our Universe – in terms of Name and Form.

The nature of vibrations that we express, reveals to us a particular ‘scale’ of phenomena – (cosmic in scale or microscopic)…and the perception of the same in terms of a particular name and form. Thus, the Name and Form (by our imagination) will appear to us in terms of particular colour, texture, smell, taste, sound, temperature. What we make of these attributes of Name and Form depends on the quality of our Mind/ Force. The question of ‘how’ is embedded in this idea of perception. The same attributes will appear (or will be imagined – perceived + conceived) in different ways by different people (and different life forms). Come to think of it, there is no such thing as an absolute attribute! Any attribute, appears because of our particular manner in which our senses operate and the manner in which we analyse those signals in our brain. The existence of attribute depends on this relationship – one can’t exist without the other. Hence the world for each living being (its effect on its mind and its intent to act) will be very much unique to that life form. Hence, memories and aspirations differ for each living being.

This means that all of us are enmeshed in a web of phenomena of space-force and matter. Not one state can exist without the other. One think, and it has an effect at all scales. Conversely, all events have an effect on us. The question is, what do you make of this realization? Do you wish to control everything? Do you think that there’s no concept of staticness so there’s no point in trying? Or, do you think that there is no need to fear anything, since the ‘fear’ was an irrational imagination generating from a fixed body/life and therefore a strong identification to thoughts?

On a day to day level, our responses (by perception and conception) need to change. The fundamental notion is of ‘giving’ or pure expression of creativity. TO practice this, is to be fearless and to make others also realize this state of existence.  

All feelings concerning judgments, competitiveness, efficiency, lose steam – and they should. For, there’s no point in believing that we are separate and therefore expect justification or acknowledgment for our personal identities. We are phenomenon and we express the intent of existence. We may either choose to enjoy this process or may abandon the whole thing. What this phenomenon has such profound effect on our mind, why not choose to understand and enjoy?

Trust

One can talk endlessly about the quantum world – where our gaze is generally tending – to keep dissecting to the minutest of units of thought and uncover more and more of ‘variables’. The variables add a layer of complexity to the phenomenon and attempts to necessitate “control” of the phenomenon by minimizing the ‘gap’/ space or any unknown factor. What we call unknown, is the crux of organic expression of Space. At a quantum level of scale, it is possible to see that space, force and particle appear to be the same or aren’t that distinct. Thus, is it that space itself changes to reappear as Force and Particle? Yes. And so is it with cosmic scale, although whenever we perceive cosmic scale, changes can’t be imagined by our limited minds.

We too exhibit the same tendencies of thoughts – namely from where they come and where they go? What kind of vibrations they create and how that keeps us engaged with the world? Thought and the perception of life (or imagination) is a very subtle thing as compared to body (matter). The difference in any state of existence is in the nature of Force (or vibration).

This took me a long time to realize this phenomenon. We take ourselves or our identities to be sacrosanct and get disturbed if circumstances keep changing before we can even adapt. Much of psychology deals with the nature of thought and the manner in which, our internal perception can change for our better.

Indian philosophy goes a step further and talks about the scope of thought itself and how it can change to reach consciousness. Fundamental to this journey, is the idea of compassion and acceptance of this phenomenon. I don’t really know why I chose to be bothered by what people said and how much I was concerned in proving myself or performing to take their approval. I didn’t value my time or my opinion and placed complete control in people’s hands. All this of course was not required. People suffer from the same defect of striving to perfect themselves at whatever cost, failing to just enjoy the present moment. It is just not required to compete and harbor revenge or stay disconnected. The whole point of living is completely missed – which is to be free and share with everybody, since essentially, there is no difference between anyone. The difference is only apparent (in Name and Form). “Name” indicates the physical difference and “Form” indicates either the nature of object or of Force depending on our own association with the phenomenon. If we chose to concentrate on the Name and Form, we will suffer variable emotional states. If we understand the reasons for the making of these differences and that these differences can be minimized by constant practice, we will reach a blissful state.

This is to be ‘felt’ to believe. Silence sometimes is the best antidote to the agitation of the mind. Reasoning, articulation, argumentation, analysis may clarify things upto a certain point. A state of calmness must dawn on us irrespective of what conditions seem to befall us.

Fundamental in all this, is the idea of trust in us and everyone. Trust, faith and compassion – are very much essential ingredients of life. They are to be practiced time and again to make us peaceful.

De-Algorithm

 

We can imagine ourselves to exist as an algorithm. An algorithm may be defined as sequence of discrete units of thought/idea/ emotion/feeling that create a behavior. Generally, it is difficult to see our thoughts as having small components of units. But if we concentrate harder and look within, you will come to see the units of thoughts and the “gaps” that are present between any two units of thoughts. This gap is Space/ consciousness – the medium that generates the units and the entire experience of perception and conception. The distance between any two units of thoughts can be termed as frequency of vibration. The intensity of each unit will create a lasting “impression” and a momentum for other units of thoughts to be generated. We are dealing with frequency and intensity – these are what define the nature of our Force (mind) and the ability to connect to Consciousness. A question arises – from what medium do the units get generated and how are connections between any two units formed and further, why are connections made in a particular way for the individual person? The inquiry to these questions may reveal that it is upto us, what connections we wish to make and at what frequency and intensity. By constant introspection, we may also realize that a gap, unit and a sequence are all related and that’s where we experience Life.

This also means, that any kind of an emotion, feeling, thought can be generated in our minds and the way we generate a connection in these dimensions of thoughts, we perceive the world around us.

The AI algorithm works on the same logic, except that it makes room to only logical units of thoughts so far. To work with the algorithm, is to surrender our ability to create lateral or organic connections. Human dimension is a wonderful phenomenon. AI taps to only a minute part of this dimension – which is rationality.

Hence, chuck the AI algorithm and embrace the algorithm of your thoughts!

Expression

 

When I see how human beings respond to one another, we are presented with a choice – governed by our own feelings and intellect. World is neutral – we add a lot of dimensions of perception and conception to it. How we perceive a given situation and therefore conceive a response – out of compulsion, necessity, choice or as an expression is upto us. Thinking deeply, we may realize the source of our Force of Mind – tendencies that exist in the phenomenon that we call ourselves a human existence. This phenomenon (like anything else) is interconnected with all and exhibits the ultimate expression of Space-Force and Matter. This equation/ inter convertibility/ relationship/ component of Space-Force-Matter exists in all that makes Life and whatever lies beyond this dimension. The only thing that changes is the Nature of Force and Matter and their relationship to eachother. So what do we wish to concentrate ‘on’ and what do we wish to imagine? The answer to this question is going to determine HOW we will eventually perceive the Universe at any given moment. The more we become aware of this relationship, the more we may let go off the urge to hold on – to any object or any idea. As an existential phenomenon operating in a body, our Force (Mind) develops a strong urge to cling to life and to keep ourselves engaged in actions and bear the fruits of our actions. Momentum sets in and we remain in this world of actions (expessed as thoughts and physical manifestations). One must see Mind as concrete as ‘wall’ itself or as transparent as ‘water’ itself or as fluid and invisible as ‘air’ itself. It is a characteristics of Space (or a state of Space) and depending on what is the state of this Force, we perceive the Universe in particular ways. In this Force, we feel Time, Its slippage, Its hold…we feel all range of feelings and the urge to analyse and control. We may feel guilty of something, try to rectify something, try to hunt for a start point and try to achieve something. We may feel people don’t understand us, we may feel the urge to prove ourselves - all these are the effects of the Force that we express. What is the cause of all these experiences? These questions are valid only in a situation of Mind and Body. Beyond that, there are questions and urges that we can’t reach (as of now). So, this brings the idea of “states” of existences – of any scale (cosmic to quantum and many in between). Our fear is of trying to stop this momentum – which can’t happen. Our fear is to ascertain predictability of comfort – which is a false idea. The ‘fear’ is a natural phenomenon of life. The idea os to embrace the feel of Force and not get compelled or attached to respond to it. Force is impression created in our imagination. More the impressions (and frequency), more is the urge to express outwardly (and the resultant turmoil). Lesser the impressions and longer the interval of impressions, more is the inward journey beyond space and time. If only we realize this dimension of Space, the classification and identification of ourselves with different ‘Names’ and ‘Forms’ will diminish. Our identification with external things is variable, subjective, distorted and causes upheaval in our hearts. Our identity is NOT the body that carries the sensory signals; it is NOT brain that receives the signals; it is NOT the electrical signals that generate the Mind; it is NOT the Mind that continues to imagine and put us in a dream like state; it is NOT the Five elements that generate a response from us. Identity is NOT.

It is only expression.

Conduit

 

A situation is an external condition of place and time (manifestation - -in a particular name and form). Our perception of the same is dependent on our tendency to exist in a phenomenon of consciousness, force (mind) and body (matter). Through body-matter (our sense organs), we interact with the external world of manifestation. The body can be seen as a “skin” that absorbs particular signals/ stimuli (5 elements) with respect to the nature of our physiology governed by genes. Depending on our “scale” of existence (and our specific life form as a human being), the sensation ‘caused’ by the ‘presence’ of these 5 elements is detected by electrical impulses that reach our brain and what gets generated is an acknowledgement of our existence (feelings). We then respond according to the power of the constructed ‘mind’ or Force and these responses are depicted at a level of thoughts (electrical impulses) and physical actions of our bodies (electrical impulses reaching different organs). Thus, we remain very much interconnected with everything around us; otherwise what is the reason of responding to external stimuli? The phenomenon of Force (mind) makes us perceive and conceive or imagine Universe in particular ways. This is obvious and is also marvelous. The point is that Force makes us see things in whatever way we define its nature. Hence, fundamentally, we need to know what does this Force mean, why do we continue to act in particular ways and why do we carry this notion of birth and death and what happens after that? The extent of this Force is the whole gamut of intellect and feelings. The sooner we realize what we are dealing with and what keeps happening in all these interconnected phenomena, more peaceful we may hope to ‘become’. In the end, it is all about becoming – good or bad. The value of connection, ethics and morality lies in taking us closer to the concept of God or pure Space.

Cherish every moment. It has come from Cosmos itself and through our particular thoughts and actions, we are responding to it. That is what is a living Being. The presence of this living Being depends on two things – the property of our “skin” (receptors, sense organ, brain) and our own characteristics of Force (imagination). Signals are created from ‘Space’ get reflected or manifested in different names and forms, they are “received” by different “skins” (plants, animals, humans) and imagined by these systems (by Force) and responded “back” through our actions. Hence, Space interacting with Space through the conduit of Force and Matter!
