Prana

 

Certain messages need to be reminded again and again – and especially after annoyingly demanding tasks and justifications asked by people. Which opens up a topic of what is to be remembered and what is the purpose of remembrance? TO get straight to the point, remembrance is memory and is a dimension of our existence. And what is existence? Existence is an awareness of being identified with a particular ‘form’ of manifestation. We have a mind and a body (the counter question is – Is this real or happening as imagination – in our heads?!!) This experience of reality (of thought/mind and body) is what continues to make us believe our existence. Decoding this further, we come across tendencies to expressions and clinging or of fear. Fear is on account of the belief in impermanence of things – of changing nature of reality. Fear essentially is because of our belief in thinking that we remain different from other forms of existence and hence are susceptible for some kind of harm by uncontrolled forces. This differentiation then breads competition of sorts and this in turn, depends on the manner in which we perceive things through our senses. Signals from our senses are taken or acknowledged by our brain and we connect different signals together to create a response. This is how a situation is perceived. This means that “signals” are first to be recognized for their presence. Having recognized them, a response (analysis) is added on the same signals to act. Thus we have recognition and analysis – all aspects of our existence. Both these words convey a meaning that can expand the entire world. The act of recognition and response is dependent on the form of existence.

Firstly what do we choose to recognize? And a difficult question is ‘why’ do we recognize signals? One will realize by contemplating on these questions that it is a form or nature of manifestation that generates these tendencies in us. Consciousness can be considered as a starting point of everything – beyond space/ time and any impressions of perceptions towards differentiations. Consciousness vibrates to create a physical manifestation of space-force and matter (a physical form) and this has validity as long as they get perceived by the nature of force/mind which expresses through these forms. Thus, forms may be perceived at a physical level or at the level of mind/ thought/intent/memory or at the level of spirit -consciousness. As long as one believes in separate existence – be it plant or animal or human being or anything else, one is under the influence of impulses of perception. This impulse is about attachment to senses and to survive. This results in recognition of “signals” around us…we catch those waves of thoughts since we (the existential force) wish to survive or cling to the idea of differentiation. So there is nothing “we”….it is “Jivatma” or a Force of a particular kind. One can also call it “Prana”. These signals are coming from the depth of consciousness – they can be called as “waves” and these are sequenced to create some meaning for us (Waves = Prana). The more these waves are seen at a subtle level, the more we will start to perceive a diffused and a more interconnected picture of the entire cosmos. Thus, there are different memories based on different intentions. All that is to be understood is that we express one of the forms of existence (out of billion other ways) and this should make us more humble and empathetic in our behavior.

So the basic question is what is the intent of our thought – if it can take us from a specific form to a universal consciousness? This introspective (inward looking question) is what a human being can ask himself/herself. And herein lies the role of speed of thoughts and discovery of variables in thought pattern.

Increase in the speed of thoughts and identification of minutest of variables and their validity aren’t going to lead one anywhere. If one is aiming for consciousness, then the speed of the thoughts should reduce, the gap between two thoughts should expand. Expanding the gap would also mean that previous variables no longer are considered as a part of the equation – they are submerged under other larger or more important variables or are dissolved. Larger variables or more important variables may also exhibit lower rate of change. This is something that is in our hands. However, the current reliance on AI is doing the opposite and unnecessarily causing further fragmentation of ourselves with more stress and anxiety.

When one talks of controlling thought, one means to refine the intent of imagination to perceive consciousness. Finding the starting point of intent is a process that will lead one to a host of other inquiries of manifestation, cycles of reincarnation, momentum and their effects. It will also lead to knowing how is thought created, what are waves, what is a sense, and we need not identify ourselves with anything of these phenomena. In other words, dismantling chunks of thoughts or sequences results in reaching consciousness. As we reach closer to consciousness, we become consciousness - that is, our present state of ‘mind’ has to transform and fragment itself to extremely subtle waves. Since the present state of mind is a result of how we perceive senses and objects, if mind changes, so will the nature of body, senses and existence. Thus, form of manifestation will change. For  someone who has had a glimpse of consciousness, the universe will not exist OR the universe will be perceived in a way which is entirely different from the way we ordinarily perceive it.
