Control

 

I think that it doesn’t make sense to analyze behavior for achieving “control” over others. Analysis may reveal that the entire imagination process is incidental part of nature -= the phenomenon of space-force-matter getting expressed in one of the forms called a “human being”. Else, there are countless forms and scales wherein this phenomenon gets expressed and perceived. So at a fundamental level, whatever we see around us, is incidental and relative and depends on how we choose to respond in terms of thought or how we imagine reality itself. A particular way in which words are said, or we smell or touch or see or perceive light, air, taste, fragrance etc – all creates an imagination (feeling) in our mind. These elements are neutral. But the arrangement of these – determine our security and comfort. Hence security and comforting feelings are constructed out of pure space. Space itself is relative to our scale of existence, time of existence and the way we imagine through our senses. The ingredient of space is consciousness – waiting to convert itself into force and matter! Therefore, there is consciousness or “I” in everything. It takes a form of force and its property gets changed. It takes the form of matter, and its property changes again. The state of vibrations is different in each case. Since all matter is embedded in force and consciousness – all matters are interconnected or dependent on each other. Hence nothing can be seen in isolation and nothing exists in vacuum.

The human being has the capacity to realize this and see the pattern of the forces and see this entire web of creation. In this journey, there are challenges – more so internal (whereas external events only act as triggers to generate these challenges).

The basic journey to realize this experience can be summarized as  -

Focus to what one wishes to pursue (action)

Love and trust (feelings)

Decoding by the intellect (thoughts)

Delightful activity (non judgmental and non-purposive)

Perfection

 

In what way a life form thinks or imagines a reality is dependent on itself – its inherent potential of “vibration” dictated by DNA. Plants only survive for hunger, animals survive out of fear and humans out of meaning. The intent, if one sees it, goes from basic hunger to fear to meaning. This means that in defining the purpose of our existence, thoughts also include compulsions of hunger and fear. Different intents (vibrations/forces) exist side by side and they perceive eachother in different ways.

Humans have been given this capacity to feel other kinds of forces and hence, they can be the masters of their own journey – either to hell or to heaven. This is also the reason why probably each human being’s imagination of life is different.

Every imagination is a trigger to get to the unknown, or to realize the phenomenon of space – force and matter. All thoughts arise from this. We represent this.

Compulsion to remain engaged (as a neutral term) or the desire to act; or the feeling of “I” (construct)  - all these are inevitable part of existence. There’s nothing personal in this and there’s nothing impersonal too. The universe for us, is there (as long as we  - the constructed ego – remain embedded in the thought – the vibration formed by perceiving signals around us as different forms with added meanings). The universe - as a ‘form’ does not exist as soon as we realize the consciousness – that state of zero vibration – which manifests into anything. Such consciousness is yet to take the properties of space and Time (or yet to manifest). “I” is a force of engagement perceived while existing in a human form.

There is no answer to why we respond to events around us. We set the relationship, we have come with some momentum, we think or perceive events and we create memory. We make it all personal – yours and mine and we think we lose something precious or we don’t care a damn about some other things. Things or manifestations by themselves, are neutral. They are incidental. Our embededness is also incidental, since there is no different subject-object relationship out there! The journey is only in going from object to pattern of relationships to stillness; or from seeing matter to seeing relationships to seeing consciousness. The same consciousness exists in all apparently different points in space-time and hence what we see around us is uniquely to us and the nature of this knowing will change, the moment our mind changes. This inside-outside relationship is what we are aware of - and with it the reality that nothing is absolute. The only thing that is absolute is the stillness and the potential to manifest.

One can look at this reality with pessimism or optimism. Everything changes – so why control? But why give up? And if everything changes, there’s always an opportunity to keep expressing! Like a blank canvas, every instant is new – the newness is the state of mind not carrying any burden of the past or the baggage of the future. These things need to be realized. Realization is about the nature of things. It is not about you or me. It is not about who did what and when. It is not about your credit or my credit. It isn’t anything! There’s no point here to be proved and shown or displayed or praised.

So just observe the pull of thoughts and do not react. Observe the magnetic pull of desire towards doing something. Observe the feeling of incompleteness it constructs within us. Observe that we can be separate from thoughts, for we are NOT the thoughts. Thoughts are a ‘form’ of perceiving and conceiving reality. They are the only form available to us to know the reality. Hence acknowledging the power of each unit of thought is important.

The extension of this knowledge is that one can keep analyzing a situation endlessly to make it perfect, but decisions are taken not on the basis of that perfect moment, since all moments are neutral and can be regarded perfect in themselves. Decision is a kind of synthesis. Synthesis can’t be evaluated in absolute terms. Synthesis is done and one keeps moving ahead. Focus is the only thing that is required.

 

Judgment and bandwidth

 

Every day one ought to remember the phenomenon of existence – the state of vibration, called as human being. By this remembrance, different dimensions of mental constructs can be understood. We “judge” things too quickly, which in turn is linked with ego, time, existence, and many other thoughts. The pause in our thoughts is required to recognize this type of thought. Many thoughts rear their heads when we think, observe and infer anything. To be able to break this chain of thoughts (these connections/ vibrations) into separate threads is a matter of practice. Just as a necklace for wearing is built by a string of separate beads, just as a wave is built of separate particles, just as music is composed of separate notes, thoughts are units of vibrations, woven or connected by our own choices formed by space-force-matter phenomenon. The momentum of these units is continuously created. Any thought is pulled by many other kinds of thoughts coming from the past or the future or because of bodily processes or perhaps because of universal cosmic effects. This influences our momentum or the quality of our vibration - or we vibrate in a particular frequency and therefore generate meaning from our existence. This is “I”. All vibrations are forms of “I” – so what we are seeing and perceiving are forms of “I” (self present or expressed in different frequencies).

In this human form, we will see the construct of ‘judgment’ today. How to recognize this and where all does it appear?

1.       About past – wherein, present events are seen from the perspective of past happenings and you feel that you are responsible for them. Then you try to control the present in such a way that it will correct the past projections that get extended in present time. This ends up causing guilt, regret, sadness etc. This is a mistake we commit. It should be remembered that any one event that has happened before does NOT determine the fate of our life and neither the person’s net value. This means that we are open to change and embrace anything of the present times and we remain fluid and fresh in our thoughts. If a change in required, we can do it NOW. No time is lost.

2.       About attachments – A question by someone (in whichever tone) about something is NOT a challenge to us about our commitment or involvement for the stated event. We are not completely responsible for an event but we remain truthful for our participation. Reasoning out is important and the intent of action should be clear.

3.       About our time – An “interruption” in our time to address other’s priorities should not be a cause of irritation/ stress. It doesn’t mean to be taken that your time is not respected.

4.       About forgetfulness – Request by others to search and find their “lost” objects is not an indicator of their callousness.

5.       Anxiety of elders – About anything and everything does not mean that you are not concerned about their feelings.  You are present, you aren’t running away anywhere, you give time; you are patient, so you are doing whatever you can. Their anxiety should NOT create anxiety in you.

6.       Reminders – Despite countless number of times, the reminders must come from the depth of love, and by being non judgmental.

7.       To plan your priority – Plan your life persistently evenif a voice of resistance (internal and external) come at you. Resistance is natural. Finding a way is a rational process of the mind – use it.

8.       Reactions – People may react, but that indicates absolutely nothing about your self worth. People react out of their own compulsions, and the impact of these compulsions is something no one has completely comprehended. So forgive them and you. Keep loving yourself and trusting yourself and people.

9.       Operating through love – The basic intent behind creation is love. Other dimensions are limited because of space-time manifestation properties. To reach and operate through this dimension requires breaking constructed boundaries and expanding to connect with all.

In other words, we operate in limited bandwidth. This bandwidth should expand to connect to the vibration called love (as a basic intent of thought and action). This is present in everyone. This bandwidth should be nurtured in all.

 

 

Love

 

Attachment to life is a part of vibration – called space-force-matter. Not knowing this phenomenon or not being accepting of this phenomenon can cause undue stress and pain. It can cause us to control fleeting things and we remain swayed by desires and actions. We need to think regarding how does perception occur and how does a desire get generated?  From this, how do we choose to act and how does that, in turn, form an impression? This cycle of action keeps happening. Whatever we see or hear or smell, or touch…we think and we analyse. From all these ingredients, we imagine or construct or realize the nature of reality within which, even we are placed! So, it is space manifesting in many ways and getting perceived in many ways.

The fundamental inference therefore is: always believe in the completeness of goodness and the nature of change. Whatever we have control of, it is within the imagined boundaries we have constructed due to this human form of existence. We may play out those boundaries as long as we live, they will be changed by someone else after our ‘time’ and they will not matter to us after our time. So instead of looking at death in fear, it is to be regarded as transitioning into some different form of existence or a vibration. The journey continues. When we talk of meaning of life, I think it appropriate to consider, that we are talking about awareness of this fact – that we are all one and we are interconnected, that we can expand our selves to include all and that it is possible to set aside differences irrespective of our constructed positions.

Fundamentally then, all this refers to the intent of action. We deploy feelings and intellect for what? For connection or for isolation? We think for what? For awareness or for conflict and competition? We run for gaining what? We don’t give time for things we love to do – why? We think that we will be wasting our time if we pause, listen to kids and elders….why? Why do we hurry and what do we aim to accomplish? Why does this craze of hurrying engulf us and why do we let the intellect and feelings destroy us?

The thing to be learnt, that we need to operate from the reservoir of “love”. And this state of mind MUST be unconditional – in our thoughts and actions. This is the only way for us – as a mortal phenomenon. No matter what befalls us, no matter whatever the condition, it is still possible to love and nurture life. This should be the only way of perceiving and conceiving reality in our minds. The rest, you trust the phenomenon of space-force-matter.

Many will think that this is  impossible to practice. Yes it is difficult, since the known tendency of the human form is to differentiate between yours and mine. But, it is also true, that living a life of love, is far more peaceful than any other kind of vibration or state of mind. Choice is yours.
