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.
