Remembrance

 

Remembrance comes into picture when a form manifests from consciousness. The sequence that is seen as a dynamic inter-relationship is consciousness (that vibrates) to appear as Space-Force-Matter. Whatever is perceived and changeable, is seen as some kind of ‘form’ which again, is connected to ‘us’ (as a phenomenon) and we in turn affect that form. All manifestations affect one another and perceive ‘other’ and are perceived by ‘other’. Thus, waves of vibrations make different forms (or do they?!) and this apparent difference in perception, is what gives each form its own identity. The difference is just apparent – a state of mind/ force/ perception. Mind differentiates – it perceives and conceives. It is more complex than being only labeled as ‘mind’. If one is able to consider this phenomenon of mind at least for a single moment, one will realize that it is a ‘form’ that has reemerged from consciousness and perceives space-time. So what is this differentiation all about and why do we keep reacting to this differentiation? This is the tendency of consciousness to manifest and ‘forget’ itself.

In the state of mind, remembrance happens, memory is constructed and imagination is shaped. We selectively choose to remember some events, their impressions on us and the manner in which responses are conceived – again leading to subsequent cycles of impressions and this goes on. Where does the momentum begin? Does it already exist in consciousness? Yes. Why does it manifest as a momentum and a form? No one knows this answer. The momentum is a given. One is dragged into it to successive cycles of birth and death. Consciousness (at a physical level) transforms into a wave and a particle. A particle spins and connects with other particles with force again. These form structures and forms. The connection is also in terms of perception. The tendency to create wave (force) means a unit of thought is created and this unit combines with other thoughts and a momentum of thinking (imagination) sets in. Thought, therefore, (as a connection) or an alternating cycle of stillness and form is present at ALL scales from microscopic (or sub atomic) to cosmic. It leads to a snowball effect or a lateral tie up of patterns of existence or evolution and change. There exists momentum everywhere and in this momentum, the seeds of stillness and thought are ingrained. Stillness is for eternity, manifestation is a momentum that lasts for eternity. The conversion from stillness to manifestation also lasts for eternity.

Variables

 

Self worth, compulsion to control, the perception of situation and variables are interrelated. This is a discovery one needs to realize.

Any situation is true in terms of its perception by our mind. Meaning that the situation and ‘mind’ are inseparable (or are interconnected) and ‘mind’ represents a form of existence that generates a force of perception. A situation may seem holistic, if our mind can comprehend such; it can seem disconnected, if our mind perceives it so. A situation may have no variables (can appear unchanging) or can have billion variables (thus appearing to change extremely fast).

Thus, perception of variables is a tendency of the mind itself and with variables; we are now talking of scale of Time and scale of Space, in short – the scale of ‘change’. A cosmic scale of space-time indicates a particular perception of variables which change too slow (as compared to the phenomenon of the mind). The quantum scale of space-time indicates billions of variables that change too fast (as compared to the phenomenon of the mind). Hence, perception of manifestation is a phenomenon that includes how one perceives variables and their rate of change!

Perception of variable is an indication of ‘mind’ (or thought or vibration). Hence, if there are no variables, it means manifestation of space-time (of any scale) is not perceived and what is just experienced is a medium of consciousness (that exists prior to its expression in space-time).

In our daily lives, it means that ‘thought’ is a perception of the situation that may be expressed as sequence of variables. These transform or make our present state of mind. All feelings and intellect are informed by the perception of the variables (or feelings and intellect themselves constitute variables OR that the external and internal worlds are a distinction that we create for name sake purposes).

Thus, the question arises, what is the need to control anything? What does this compulsion indicate? If it indicates a deep rooted fear, is it the driver of discovering variables? With more discoveries of variables, situation appears more complex, stressful and it just fuels more insecurity and compelling us to devise more severe controlling mechanisms. To come face to face with a fear is the first step of knowing the intent of actions and the intent of continuing to be engaged with situations. If fear is inevitable part of existence (that we say a human form), then the next series of questions are pertaining to how does one ‘work’ with this reality?

Knowing self, meditation, working without expectations and being compassionate are instruments to work with the tendency of fear and to keep expanding our awareness till we perceive a state of ‘no variables’ (so no judgment or no evaluation or no justification or no compulsion or no competition). Slowing down, being attentive or mindful, being empathetic are also related requirements.

Values

 

I was reading an article which I myself had written on ‘Information Explosion’ and it felt lovely to recall the patterns of thoughts it conveyed. Sometimes, one requires a meaningful reminder about the values one keeps pursuing – probably writing can assist one in doing so. I think, we live on account of values. Values means ‘awareness’ of phenomena, our role in it and the intent to be initiated for action. It endorses the idea of connections and relative truth (as a subset of absolute reality) and the idea of change/ manifestation/phenomena.

The fundamental equation of values to idea diagram to activities is applicable everywhere. We can say that what we are (as constructs) is the making of this Force called mind and mind has its own character of feelings and intellect. Mind is a vibration that constitutes a momentum and it perceives and conceives things. It exists everywhere – from microcosmic to macrocosmic scales. It is created on account of the character of consciousness to keep manifesting/ vibrating/ oscillating from space to matter and reverse. Memory is another word for mind. Memory and change are related. What we say as this or that is a play of perception or the effect of perception – like a mirage in the desert. Of course, one can never know this unless, one is able to connect with consciousness, whose character is not contained in any manifestation. Manifestation is a projection/ transformation of consciousness in other form. In this manifestation, perception/ memory occurs, changes occur, interconnections are a given, and ‘I’ is constructed.

So all thoughts arise from consciousness and they keep changing, keep oscillating, keep affecting us. Again, the focus is on “seeds” of thoughts that germinate into a form of character/ actions/ products.

All above things means values. Nowadays, a word is taken in an offensive way – or in a way that seeks justification or evaluation. The more subtle variables are expressed and evaluated, the more justification and control may be demanded from the complexity that is realized.

I think that more minute time scale of events, means more variables in the situation, means more differentiation, more fragmentation, more aggression and more control. The process of philosophy is the REVERSE of analysis. Philosophy’s main pledge is to remove the experience of differentiation of forms and names and to realize the Oneness in the apparent variety in life forms. By remaining in differentiation, we condition all our thoughts to enhance the individual’s ‘survival’ an account of fear of being diminished eventually. We lay expectations, desires and react based on our conditions on situations.

However, if at all we connect with larger life forces, the conditions of expressions drop down and we start to ‘offer’ our actions freely without any return. This switch of mindset is important to happen. This is the only way, the world can heal itself. Injury is in differentiation and healing is in connecting with everything.

The above observation can also be applied to character of societies or communities across the globe. When one means contemporary architecture, can we understand that architecture has been conceived in different value systems – some of them being highly exploitative to others that seem to be one with Nature? Isn’t it important to note and realize which values ought to be endorsed? And if appropriate values meant for Nature’s nourishment is made as a priority, then the definition of growth/ GDP/ development needs to be seriously reviewed.

There still exists a problem in today’s urban consciousness. Actions meant to respond to Nature’s nourishment, if coming from the realization of our individual survival, have a limitation, since decisions will continue to be compartmentalized. Actions, if at all coming from the realization of diminishing the mental boundaries of us and Nature have some validity. Herein lies the greatest of challenges for us. The pull of differentiation offered by AI verses the conscious intent of dissolving any sort of differences if arising by any kind of imagination.

Shree

 

Every form perceives its own existence based on its own properties and boundaries. The origin or manifestation of form is from Consciousness (cause of space-time web). Hence, form is a phenomenon of space-force-matter. The existence of itself is also informed by perception of everything else around that form. This means that perception of self and other are linked, or what one calls one’s self contributes and is shaped by the manner in which one perceives the environment. And lastly, the form undergoes change in itself and it also changes others.

In a nutshell, the basic nature to be concerned about is “perception” (or what idea one imagines about one’s self). Perception is a huge unending field – one can talk about it from physiological processes and infer that it is governed by structures of the body (form). One can talk it about from psychological processes and infer that thought means super conscious, conscious and sub conscious processes (force/ mind). One can talk about it from spiritual processes and infer that perception is a state of vibration of consciousness – from zero to infinity.

Since all above realities are inter related, it means that separateness, as a feeling, is relative. Manifestation results in perception, which sees all forms, their natures and their influences as different and interconnected. In human terms, we perceive feelings and intellect and the clinging to life and our security (because of constructed ‘fear’) is because of our nature of perception. So long as we perceive our existence as mind-body, it will differentiate other forms and will live in fear (or try to gain security at all costs). Impermanence can’t be digested and it is because of incomplete understanding about the phenomenon of life and death (or the phenomenon that includes the above two events).

Why do we exist? Why do we work? And why do we behave or respond in such ways? Why do we feel the urge to respond always to external stimuli? Why do we see the stimuli of any kind as a threat or a competitor? ‘Competition’ means that we consider ourselves separate from the rest and thus expect best treatment for ourselves. This belief also comes from expecting security and our intense craving to life….The craving to life is one of the characteristics of consciousness – waiting to manifest and change. Anything it feels and thinks, it becomes. Whatever we think, we become and transform the situation for us, because ‘we’ means our thoughts and thoughts mean the perceived situation. By changing the nature of thoughts (force/mind) we change our experiences of Space, Time and existence.

The key thing to change here is to only exist in delight – to just ‘Be’. This is possible, if we practice this state in our thoughts and actions. The self talk that consists of micro and macro worlds, that consist of all kinds of processes make us believe our separate nature and hence the competition. This self talk needs to generate a transcendental dimension – doing something without any purpose and like a simple, silent offering (or expression).

To do something in time or to rush is unwarranted. To justify is unwarranted. To expect a change or plan a change is unwarranted. To say and talk is unwarranted. TO specify is unwarranted, unless it is meant to clarify confusion. To act is unwarranted. The intellect does all these things. It wants control and it keeps analyzing, dissecting, peeling and discovering variables. More variables, more complexity, more choices for control, faster are the rates of change. There is more anxiety, more stress, more noise and more fragmentation. To keep proving and to always confirm to a correct position is burdensome.

Spirituality, love, compassion does not seek control or differentiation. It offers. It remains delighted and it doesn’t belittle or prove anything. Time dissolves and so does identity. This is consciousness.

The idea of focus is not of progress (or maybe progress from object to transcendence – which is a personal journey), or from limited perspective to all expansive or from human form to universal consciousness. The idea of focus is of dissecting the phenomenon to reveal consciousness and to accept the same. The idea of focus is of not letting one’s self to unnecessarily be engaged with vibrations that sap energy. The idea of focus is to use intellect to control one’s reactions and not get carried by impromptu vibrations. The idea of focus is to “see” things in absolute clarity and remain centred.

So, if one realizes, to be guilty of any action – past or future was unwarranted. Any situation (or vibration) is a good enough starting point to reveal consciousness. Situation/ illusion/ perception conceal consciousness in different guises. We take decisions based on this. Yet, the intent of taking decisions is to reveal consciousness; hence it ought to come from the spirit of transcendence. All thoughts are coming at the right time. Things are revealed when they have to. The past could NOT have been altered in any other way, and the future will be as it should be for us. Thus, the present is the only conscious moment to exist. The turmoil is true, the effort is true, the awareness is true and so is fear. The acceptance is required for all this and also the strength to keep loving, forgiving and taking decisions.

Tomorrow or for the next note, we dissect ‘Time’ and the empathy required to relate to It.
