Universal and the Particular

 

Thoughts are a state if mind and they feel very real. That is, they represent a particular kind of a ‘form’, just as solid matter. Solid matter has some properties – it is defined by shape, volume, mass. Mass is formed by condensation of space and force into matter. Matter, also interacts with other matter. Hence, matter represents a phenomenon into itself and with surrounding environment. There is no point in space that remains neutral and disconnected with any other point. At the core, we are dealing with property (of consciousness) wherein space gets converted or reappears as force and matter. Manifestation happens because of this property and so does dissolution. One may look at this phenomenon as big bang and big crunch or one may look at it as expansion and contraction (and conversion of s-f-m) happening at different points. Generally, the language we use, itself has limitation while describing this nature of phenomenon.

We are sensing the presence of two interlinked phenomena – the physical phenomenon of manifesting space into force and matter, wherein the space field, energy field and matter field are explained and are inter convertible into equation of Space = x Energy = mc².

The other phenomenon is about ‘perception’ of this. Space, force and matter ALSO represent different perceptions. All of this is linked by nature of perception (for us – thoughts). Force/ thoughts are informed by everything in the Universe and it is also by our own efforts, that other states of perceptions (from matter to pure space/ consciousness) can be realized. We perceive us and environment by the nature of our thoughts. Any matter or an external form is perceived. Thus, it is difficult to say if a matter exists for its own sake, since all things in Universe are perceived ONLY because we think. Hence it is unclear if matter (or the external Universe) has any independent existence by itself! In other words, any external form is perceived by a force, which again is generated by Space. If we perceive consciousness
(zero state of vibration) then everything in the Universe is perceived as zero vibration. The Universe does not remain the same for a changed state of mind.

During normal times, we are at the mercy of all forms of Universe, since that’s why we perceive and respond to external environment, or wherein that is the manner we have set our vibration. Under extraordinary circumstances, when we expand our mind beyond our constructed boundaries, and expand to the extent of limitlessness, what we perceive is only consciousness everywhere, in one continuous expanse (beyond physical space-time).

Why is this realization required? For our own benefit. Manifestation will continue, memory will continue, intent will continue, space-time will continue, change will continue.

One can look at external forms as merely physical forms OR one can also look at them from how they are perceived or one can also look at external forms as having ‘memory’/ ‘intent’ of their own. ‘We’ as a part of consciousness and having being completely embedded in this web, can generate ANY KIND of a thought and therefore perceive the Universe at all scales with a conscious intent. So, the relationship is between the ‘individual’ form/ thought/ vibration/ memory AND the omnipresent substance that is the cause of everything. The individual is a subset and an expression of the One and also related with other systems of phenomena of vibrations. Behind everything, behind every feeling and form is the One.

The training for the mind is to realize this. Else, it gets caught up in many somersault imaginations of itself and stemming from the body. Thought is a ‘Form’ - it has intellect and feelings and we perceive our own vibrations in that manner. A lot of energy is spent in remaining chained in this limitation or in this imagination for wrong purposes. One can look at imagination as an opportunity to know the One and to realize limitless potential to do good. Why fear and why worry? It is a complete waste of time, since we choose to remain limited by our own imaginations. We react. And we are hyper about perfection and expectations. We shrink from others and remain in fearful conditions. Why do we do this? This needs review. Time, race, attainment, achievement, aggression, competition…what do these constructs mean to us? What are we running for or against? If it is the fear, then one should work regardless of this feeling. The strongest of will is of those who are able to concentrate despite many distractions of the mind. Hence, we again come to the idea of “seeds” of thought. Everything is a seed – a potential seed, waiting to grow into a tree and bear a fruit. Remain non attached to fruit or expectation. Do work, just as the Universe does, without stopping or clinging, for it is the Lord’s play. Understand and soak in this thought and offer your work. Every breadth and every act is coming from Him and is offered to Him again.

So again, in the kind of vibrations we exist, keep doing good, keep involved in meaningful action, love and help. Share, share and share. Be simple. Be compassionate. And never mind your own survival or what it means for all or how you will be perceived. Work beyond these constructs.
