Concentration

 

010122: Shree

Thoughts and body are distractions. Vibrations are distractions – rather vibrations of any kind – be it subtle to gross. Vibrations means to remain conditional to change which gets reflected in space and time fabric. Vibrations bring about movement – which may be seen in thoughts and in body or form. Vibrations mean switching from a unit of consciousness to a particle and movement means a continuation of this tendency at faster levels. At a unit level, there are only vibrations and at higher or grosser levels one can see a distinction appearing in terms of force and matter. Thus at a unit level everything dissolves (or no longer exists) as separate things – it all becomes or perhaps appears as consciousness that is beyond Space and Time. Thus again, we have a question of whether vibrations and their build up as force and matter were real or were they imaginary?!

Real or imaginary is an answer that intellect will come to terms with eventually for our understanding. But whatever the answer, motion causes disturbance in us and it makes things appear in billion different ways that keep changing and we too keep changing. Non motion doesn’t create any of these impacts – it remains unconditional, the only One, forever at peace.

Thus when we talk of intent, force, form, vibrations, material properties, consciousness we are required to “feel” what is happening as per our imagination is concerned. Feeling is beyond words or a concrete output. Words are important but they have their limitations of remaining static and debatable. The moment any form of expression is created it becomes static and it then changes. We are forms of expressions ourselves. We want staticness and we want change too. This conflict of both forces results in struggle or creation or motion or manifestation.

The struggle for us is required and is a part of spiritual evolution.

The focus is required to be on becoming the One, not for any kind of escape but that is what we are.

Hence give up “noise” of vibrations – they are just changing pictures meant to entice our minds.

The second point to be noted here that in the world of manifestation, what can be done as a sure sign of positive engagement? Firstly to practice those ideas that leads to divinity. Practicing needs to be through thoughts, feelings and actions. The key ingredient here is what one chooses to concentrate on and persistence of that practice. This will lead to result. Herein is the importance of good company and great personalities. If I aspire to be like them, then I absorb their qualities. If I aspire to be like God, I will become God.

This means that we should know which tendencies are appropriate to be concentrated and which should be shunned. This is self discipline and self control.

I realize that “gap” between two people is a must because if there is no gap then I become completely like the other person – in terms of desires and pleasures and pain. Philosophically, the process is to reduce the gap between God and you.

God is unconditionally, so be like Him in your imagination. If God only works unconditionally with unconditional love without a hint of any expectations – you should do the same! Bring all attributes that make God and you will become God!
