Technology and reliance

 


One can start anywhere and a philosophical link can be generated out of the situation – perhaps that is what is meant by seeing God – beyond all motion, beyond time and beyond any relative knowledge born out of space and time.

We build a constraint around us – called the mind and body. If we think in terms of body, then we become more constrained; if we think (or cling or imagine or vibrate) through the mind, then we are bounded in other aspects and if there is no vibration at all, then we become consciousness. Thus the basis of all perception is vibration – or a state which can be said to exist or not to exist – a state that is dependent on a force of desire, a state that causes motion and change. Perception defines how we choose to cling to imagination and what we consider as reality. Thought is as much real as any other physical form. In fact, because there is thought, we see forms – else there wouldn’t be any differentiation at all! Is there a start point to all this phenomenon of manifestation? We do not have an answer – there only IS a state of existence – either be in motion or non motion.

The current tendency of knowledge and deployment of AI technology is to cling more and more to desires born out of body and mind. Technology will always remain neutral (just as any manifestation), but we add meaning to it and experience pleasure and pain. My identity so called – is it dependent on a form or any colour or texture or size or speed or AI technology or a devise or anything that the manifestation throws at me?

What has AI given us – at least currently it has just increased speed, displacement, rate of change and created a fragmentary picture and noise. Has AI given us this or have we deployed our mind and body to feel this state of fragmentation? We perceive, then we act and the action itself feeds onto our perception or imagination. The motion is thus set.

I may be motion or non motion – both existences are eternal having no start or end point. In motion there is judgment, differentiation, fear, insecurity, abuse, struggle and so on. I may see things from one perspective, later on that perspective will change. Then I and others may see the same thing in different ways. All this is the character of motion – never at rest and never the same for any other phenomenon.

This should lead us to consider what we are upto really? The control of phenomenon – either myself or the outside world is a ridiculous belief or assumption. Things happen. Do they happen because of me or despite me? The construct of “me” is a limited construct contained in space and time. All things that manifest follow this behavior of Nature – that they will change, they will always be in motion, they will perceive things and they will have to make a choice to take things personally or evolve. All imagination contains above tendencies.

We are born means we experience all above traits. And then we fear because we think we die. Death is a change seen at the level of body and mind.

It would be better if we engage without any ulterior motive; that we understand that freedom is our constitutional dimension of the Soul and the motion is only apparent. We don’t do anything and neither anything is in our imagined control. Whatever happens is from God and the reason one is here and one continues to struggle and learn is also God’s doing.

The best way to see this state of existence is to keep remembering God and generate a feel for It.

Hari Om.
