Four questions

 

What is the language of creation? One can write about this in many ways probably by addressing the following questions:  

First question is - what are the signals one perceives and responds to?

Second question – why is it difficult to change the signals?

Third question - Why can’t we understand the Truth, if it is so fundamental?

Fourth Question – What is concentration?

All things that are seen as forms and perceived as nature are imagination – they exist as part of creation. Manifestation is a dimension of creation, which contains consciousness, force and matter. These three words are different states of the same thing. The property of consciousness is to vibrate within itself. This vibration is felt as force and that force causes matter to form and perceive other matters. The transformation is at a physical level and psychological level. All of this universe can be understood as a play of space to force to matter AND consciousness to mind to body (these two phenomena are not separate). Therefore, for humans, the forms of the Universe and how they get perceived depend on the nature of the mind we create within ourselves. In other words, whatever reality exists depends on our imagination. One can feel consciousness or mind or body – it is up to us to what we choose to believe.

Belief is by choice and also by compulsion. This means that belief can be changed by intellect and is informed by many other forces present elsewhere. Creation, the moment it manifests as space-time, is perceived primarily as force and matter and therefore we perceive life in these terms. The flow of our perception is  majorly driven outward to our senses and actually what we perceive is nothing but consciousness perceiving itself as many other forms. Primarily, these are the signals we catch – senses or the mind. And we understand only that language whose signals we catch!

So it is challenging to converse with a person who is at a different wavelength than yours as both of you are speaking and seeing different realities! SO the question is to realize that the realities were only apparent and they have the same source. Same source means knowing that the different identities were false and difference does not exist in the first place. This means to dissolve our limited boundaries.

The second challenge is to train the mind to see the Reality or the Truth of Oneness. Mind is a force that is connected with all other forces of various scales from micro to macro. Any change that we set out to do, has an effect on the overall web of forces – and this needs to be tackled. The overall web of forces draws our attention outwards and we respond. So we are compelled to react to situations and express anger, sadness, joy etc. What is this web of forces? This is something we need to “see” but not react to it. This means to see subconscious forces and cosmic forces. As we see forces at more subtle layers, we also catch those forces in other forms (or the entire Universe). As we keep going further into more subtle layers, we reach the conscious layer that doesn’t have any force and that is the manner in which we see consciousness everywhere. Breadth is related to our thoughts. The quality of breadth defines the quality of our thoughts and this can be seen as a mechanism to reach consciousness.

In life, Truth is understood by the Artist, the Doer and the Philosopher in any century, any time and under any circumstances. Livelihood of the person should mean that – search or the discovery of the Truth and not just salary or GDP or survival. Everyone survives, what’s the big deal? The big deal is to realize Godliness in ourselves, all the time!

That brings us to the idea of seed or concentration. We keep sending signals to cosmos – as vibrations. We may say or do whatever we think or feel or act, but the core of us correspondingly sends signals and that is the way reality gets shaped for us. From that respect, everyone behaves as a magnet. If concentration is a special condition of sending signals, we are then indicating that the quality of signals should be such that we realize God.

So the effort is on us and not the external environment. If seen from this perspective, we will realize the contents of our memory and why and how we shaped our thoughts and memories from birth in particular ways. No one told us to remember specific slices of time or incidents or feelings associated with them, but we nevertheless did and build our assumptions and inferences accordingly. We can only become aware of what we keep doing and take steps to modify signals.

This also means that everyone is faced with potentials and limitations of their own making. Everyone is compelled to respond in peculiar ways without actually knowing complete meaning of those responses. Everyone keeps taking things personally, although there was no need of responding in that manner. Everyone, despite knowing this inherent tendency, needs to work at improving this response and see things in a detached manner. Everyone should therefore be given a chance to work out their own journey. Therefore, patience is required. Forgiveness is required. Love is required. Compassion is required. And remembrance of God is required.

Question of Force

 

There is always a question of the use of philosophy – which will remain till the end. There is a question of control and of thoughts. There is a question of tendency/ character and perception. There is a question of the manner in which we should relate to things around us.

Terms of Space, force, matter and tendency, mind, thoughts can become ‘neutral’ for an evolved mind. A mind can “see” things and yet choose to remain detached from the forces of vibrations. This can happen only if the experience of ‘self’ is not attached to the experience of ‘me’ (a character). The two states are different, although, ‘me’ may be regarded as an altered form or a lower form of ‘self’.

Here, when ‘I’ is referred, one is implying by extension, all thoughts that create perception of situation for that phenomenon called the person. ‘I’ is expressed as continuous waves of perception (a force) that compels one to perceive and conceive a situation that is imagined through one’s body (senses). If the nature of senses changes, the perception gets altered. In humans however, because of the role of the determinative faculty, the perception is not just formed by the situation but can be altered from within.

Waves are strong and lie between space and matter. Anything can be said to be a form of a wave – from zero to infinity. Physical forms also represent waves of a particular frequency. These forms get perceived by the frequency of the mind. And what that particular form means to ‘me’ depends of how I choose to perceive it – The form may be seen as matter or as a relationship of force or as pure space. So, whether matter exists or not depends entirely on perception – same conclusion of the event from quantum mechanics point of view.

Quantum mechanics deals with quantum particles (a scale of a particular kind). In this scale, the unit of space vibrates to create wave/ particular entity – that sets a connection with other entities forming up a mass. In this scale of things, space reappears as force and particle. So can we say that force and particle are already characteristics of space? A space isn’t inert, but reappears as force (wave/ vibration) and particle? All such manifestations if piled on, create the universe…again in motion and again vibration, and again connected to our perception. So all things are a form of vibrations.

Mind is a product of manifestation of physical Space-Time. Mind differentiates. And it gets involved and affected by this differentiation. No amount of knowledge acquired along the way can quench the thirst of differentiation (or the compulsion of differentiation). The quest for knowledge in the phenomenal world is driven by fear or differentiation, so where is the end to it? The question of vibration cannot be solved by intellect, although that is also a very important state to reach (the limit of analysis). Forces are present in Universe and this force that gets generated in us is called the Mind – having a range of feelings. It is a force and we mistake it as a reality. It is a reality since it affects us. We let it affect us because we hope to control it and don’t fully understand the working of this force.

Other life forms are dependent by hunger and fear of survival. Humans visualize fear to a far greater extent and that fear is exaggerated beyond the known limits of survival and hunger. No amount of control over any scale of situation – micro to macro can curb this fear. The fear is ingrained in any manifested form, since the form doesn’t remember what its true nature is. Why does this happen is not clear to anyone and therefore everyone must work out one’s own way of responding to this experience of reality.

The only thing to offer solace is the experience of God – in our own self (dissolution of ego, expansion of the mind, love, forgiveness, empathy, surrendering, introspection and so on). What we are today are waves. We are taking them far too personal than required.

Hence a daily connect with God is a must, it is not optional or something like a fashion statement. It is required. Nothing should be expected in return, since it is not a transaction of any kind. All thoughts (situations) are to be expected and faced without being disturbed. With time, one may see the self and one may see the momentum of thoughts that create recurring cycles of birth and death. One may see, that one represents a force of a particular kind. This requires channeling. One may see, that force needs to be subdued and to turn it into a ground state of Bliss.

Spirals

 

In previous article it has been mentioned (or realized or articulated), that thought is a force – a converted nature of consciousness, born in a space-time fabric and which perceives Universe in a particular state of vibration (or a Form), that also affects the phenomenon – person. Person is therefore, a point in space-time (or a form of Manifestation). All forms perceive one another and remain dependent. We exist in a particular scale of existence – the scale depending on nature of thoughts. Scale may imply scale of space and scale of time. Scale may imply quality and frequency of vibration (rate of change). Hence, to perceive means to exist in a given scale of phenomena. Decisions taken at any point of space and time, create cyclic effects/ momentum/ attachment and generate perpetual scale of consequences. Decisions don’t lead to linear patterns, but ever increasing or decreasing spirals – hence we remain attached. Waves, spirals, tornado, motion, momentum, vibration – all remain for eternity. It is for this reason, that intellectually, the answer for anything generates a spiral of effects. This is the nature of existence or manifestation. So what’s moving? And where? And how tiny or how large? These things seem redundant beyond particular state of awareness. The movement seems apparent – a state that ’Form’ chooses to perceive. Come to the Source, and there’s no movement!

Whatever depths of thoughts we generate – whatever – are again vibrations and they are bound to be created – from self doubt, pity to happiness. Practicing the mind with good thoughts may create different effects on self. Finally, these also need to be left behind till consciousness is experienced.
