Inner Journey

Things exist. Existence is perceived in many ways – either as motion or as non motion. In motion, vibrations lead to construct of the mind and body and these make us receive signals of senses or the environment or manifestation that keep us tied to motion. But important in this perception is the experience of being identified with body (as something to be guarded against the other forces) and the moment we have become motion, we have taken on a character that gets formed by body and mind. We run after satisfying the needs of this motion – especially starting at the level of senses and going all the way down to a mental level, vibration level and then to non motion states.

The experience of non motion can be achieved only through cutting the layers of senses, then mind, then vibrations. This means that these layers exist at hierarchical levels and are interconnected and by passing through each layer, we ourselves change; our perceptions change, our responses change; our feelings change; our definition of situations change. This means that mind has all these scales of vibrations.

As we go deeper, we become unconditional in our perception and response of motion. Perhaps motion becomes lesser and lesser, changes become lesser and lesser and finally we reach or become a state where motion and conditions of identity or of change or of transformations do not exist.

We become unconditional and we realize that for being blissful, no motion is required. I exist and for expressing love, identity, there are no conditions involved. This needs to be remembered always and this state has to be attained.

If we review our actions and perceptions as a part of our daily routine, what do we find? Firstly that we are all clinging to this notion of body, mind, constructs, change, motion and so on. We have difficult time to digest any kind of change and we expect control over it. This causes pain. Secondly each person perceives reality in a unique manner, since that is the function of vibration. Vibrations create constructs and they create feelings. As long as we exist in motion, any kind of a situation of existence will be perceived or generate some kind of feelings in us irrespective of age, gender, religion and these feelings will also keep changing. In a reverse manner we can also say that because we think, we perceive or generate situations on which we latch our identities. So any human being (and any life form) displays this tendency of clinging and fear. This fear either is located in senses or body or in intellect or actions. The fear is the outcome of ego and we do not wish to experience pain. Pain is a sort of emotion or a deep feeling and resistance to change. Change is again a construct and so is the resistance offered to it and so is the pain that results from it. Thus if you see, all situations, causes and effects and their continuous impacts are all constructs that we treat them as real.

If ever one wishes to understand pain, then the journey expected is the one explained above – going from external motion to internal motion to finally no motion at all. Finally, it is all a matter of understanding and observing without reacting.
