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.
