Dream

 

Shree:  Dream

To think is also to limit existence into a physical and psychological dimension. Existence is either transcendence (as soul) or as movement or vibration having psychological and physical dimension. Perhaps there is no this or that – all maybe just One existence apparently seen as many, since that is the property of the medium itself!

I concentrate on something or even start to think of something and the effect is of “creation” of a force and form. This means that the medium – one may say it as “x, can initiate “thinking” and create force and form. Or “thinking” can happen in this medium (as a property) and creation occurs! As “thinking” begins, vibrations come together to take on properties, characters and identities and each phenomenon clings to its respective birth and death cycle. The phenomenon changes, transforms and gets interlinked with all other apparently different phenomena. Each phenomenon therefore has the property of the source medium “x”, which is soul and its projection as thought and matter. As a phenomenon, I consider myself different from all other forms of expression and I fight for my survival. This is because I have forgotten from where I am made and how I am formed. If I realize the medium of my creation, then there is no fear. I realize this medium within me and also in anything else and for me the whole world dissolves into One. What I consider as separate, is not present at all. I was thinking (dreaming) and I became a form. I do not dream and I become One again.

So our existence at the moment is based on a dream. Become awake and become the One. This is done by concentration. Every creation requires a “diet” for survival – diet based on thought and body. If the diet is not given, then it dissolves into consciousness. This is called प्रत्याहर and also निवृत्ती. Remembrance of one’s unconditional existence is another technique – do it through love, action, thought. Concentration on idea of “God” may also serve the same purpose.

There is no split

 

300122: Shree: There is no split

Any act should begin and directed towards God. There is no such thing outside the presence of God. I write for God, I do work for God and I relate for God.

Alignment. Focus is important in life. Mind is such a thing made of vibrations that it wanders after many variables. It sees many, It perceives many situations and it wants to control it. It has taken tine for me to realize that when people “say” something, then it is not necessarily meant for me (need not be taken personally) and even if they intend to direct the heat on me, the picture is only half the truth (from their perspective). Thus it goes on for everything in life. Things happen and we tend to take them “personally” because of the perception of “I” (the individual mind and body born out of vibrations in consciousness) and the expectation or the construct of survival and to address the fear inborn in movement. Philosophically two sets of words are spoken – physical such as vibrations, motion, movement, medium, character and so on and psychological such as separation, fear, uncertainty, mind, body, intellect, feelings, perfection, compulsion, urges and so on. This means that both things are one and the same and if one has to talk of one dimension then the other will follow of course. I am either speaking from physical dimension and implying psychological dimension and vice versa. Perhaps then, space is physical and time is psychological; change is physical and impermanence is psychological or perhaps space has dimension of time and vice versa. Or space and time mean the same – there is no split (the split is our way of describing the phenomenon).

Thus architecture can be spoken from physical and psychological and spiritual dimensions. When one considers movement – it is physical and psychological at the same time. And the essence of movement is to transcend and make one aware of spiritual dimension as well. Similarly about climate or light or ventilation or anything – it is physical, psychological and spiritual.

Hence all perceptions can also be seen in this manner. Anyway the point was also about concentrating on something. If I know that things happen because they are incidental and it depends on what I wish to concentrate on, then situations do not define me and they do not necessarily call for my engagement. I exist irrespective of motion and my identity as soul is independent of any motion (or change or fluctuations) occurring outside.

It is necessary to remember God for this. If I say “I” (as motion) then I take things personally; I fear; I run for survival; I attract motion and many things. If I am soul (as spirit), having transcended all motion, then I am pure Being – the One, having no change or vibrations. There is no split in spiritual, psychological and physical dimensions – these are created for our understanding and are perceived based on one’s state of mind (or of vibration or of concentration). The purpose of life is to realize that there is no split and all motions and their perceptions were mere superimpositions on consciousness that were apparently created.

Hari Om.

 

Becoming

 

260122: Shree

God is to be remembered every second of one’s life – through thoughts, words, deeds and expressions. Remembering God means multiple things. Let us see a few of them:

1)      Decision: Our mind should decide that Godliness or consciousness is the ultimate truth - manifestations are apparent and of one’s own creations/ constructs. By deciding on our focus, we “create” a reality. In any case, we are already focusing on something at every instant; we are already in a state of “becoming something”. Currently we focus on motion - an output of vibrations and hence we experience situations and change and we fear. We have created a changing reality of forces and forms; we perceive them; we vibrate; we think; we construct a past and future….we perceive change and we cling to the same. The “clinging” is on account of vibrations. Why this phenomenon is in this manner cannot be answered. No control is expected here. It is only to be accepted as a situation. By acceptance the decision to become God takes a form and we start to subsequently pursue that path.

2)      Unconditional: Generally we think that purpose should be created for our actions. These depend on the perception of causes of events and their effects. This means that we are remaining conditional in our actions. The treatment we give to circumstances varies with space and time. This results in our increased involvement with motion and we remain fearful and anxious. The reverse is to be done. Become unconditional – feel that we are not the cause of anything neither any credit nor discredit belongs to us. We do not “belong” to motion, since our true nature is NOT motion, but stillness. We do not work for any personal intent neither any changes mean anything personal to “me”. We do not create anything and neither are we responsible for anything.  We need not take guilt or be angry by anything. All is by God’s presence and all changes and transformations happen by Him or by consciousness. All is apparent motion and our constructs are also apparent too. So whatever we do, think, act is not outside the purview of God. Godliness is experienced by becoming unconditional and dissolving our vibrations completely. Another word for that is love or surrender of the individual will. It is to dissolve the limited nature of mind that clings to  thought and body.

3)      Self worth – It is not dependent on motion. What I do, where I go, what I say, what I think and what perceptions make me do and how others respond has got nothing to do with the soul (the innermost dimension). Inner and outer are just symbolic terms used to indicate “layers” of existence – body being the most obvious, then perceiving only the forces and finally perceiving the soul. Perception therefore means all these existences that are present in the medium.

4)      Thinking – I imagine, and imagination means focusing and bringing something to existence and becoming that existence. Thus, “I”, mind, body, perception, situations are all dimensions of existence that is called as motion or vibrations. Vibrations dissolve, so everything that I perceive and cling to can also dissolve. They dissolve into consciousness - so It is the only absolute medium that exists. Everything else is only apparent and must dissolve. SO there is no question of my existence and what I expect and what I am entitled to get. One gets what one imagines because imagination and existence cannot be separated – they are one and the same.

Scale

 

240122: Shree: Scale

There is no other reality than that of You. Regardless of what I think about priorities and other issues, to think and feel You is the most important beginning, middle and the end of each day and night.

All responses about a situation depend on its “existence”. Who generates existence and who endorses it? I feel currently that all situations of people are real because I have endorsed their existences through vibrations/ movement/ motion/ mind and body. This “I” is also a product of that endorsement. Hence all characteristics of this state of existence (such as change, fluidity, fear, dilemma, impermanence, relationships, evaluations, judgments) are what I endorse subsequently! All these signals are what I generate and are what leads to existence of manifestation! I remaining in this state of existence then, You are currently too far for me!

I want to have You near to me. This will happen IF I start to acknowledge Your existence. As much as I consider manifestation to be a reality, I MUST accept and feel Your reality. Once I endorse this reality, then my mind starts to attract Your grace and transforms into You (non motion, no change, beyond space and time, subtle, no vibrations, desireless, blissful, unconditional).

So “I” am currently a combination of motion and non motion. Or rather some say that motion is just a superimposition on non motion. It is non motion that actually is absolute existence, which has been apparently modified into motion or manifestation. Thus what we are is only “apparent” reality -  property of the medium itself.

Silence this medium, be unconditional, concentrate on non motion, and focus at one point and I become God.

Symbolically it can be also said to be a “zoom out” effect. When one zooms in to a “unit” of existence, then there is no vibration present; there is no space; there is no character; there is no property; there is no force or form. If I zoom out from this unity, then the SAME phenomenon appears as space + force + form (something solid and responding and changing). THUS, depending on the ability of the mind to change its scale of perception, I become motion or non motion.

Architectural symbolism may also help. Scale of opening and the space it defines. Depending on my scale, I perceive an opening and space. The same opening can become a “jali” or perforated screen if its scale is reduced with only tiny voids of space and light filtering from it. Go on increasing the density of perforations and we perceive a “wall” that apparently may seem not to have any pores and obstructs light coming through it. If I become extremely tiny (perhaps like a single cell), then the same wall may appear space to me! Apply this logic on any form and any experience like light or smell or taste or liquid. At a quantum level, it is only space! So an interesting question may arise to you that – is the “wall” really present in front of me? The answer is that its form depends on its existence I create in my mind! I can see it as a wall or I can vanish it and see it as just space! (This is the same conclusion of quantum mechanics).

However let us take things to the level of psychology also. It is understood that by focusing and becoming a unit of existence, I will therefore see only “space” existing everywhere and no forms or forces. It ALSO means that I will only perceive a blissful feeling as that state of existence. If I start to feel some force or a form, then my feelings also start to become dependent on change and they fluctuate.  

So finally, existence (and hence perception and reality) is all about scale.

Time and Speed

 

Shree

Time means change and it also means comparisons. It is also the effort to accomplish an ideal situation. This tendency is applicable to the individual and also to the entire world of Nations.

I consider “acceleration of time” as one of the emerging behavioral changes affecting all of us. To decode this phenomenon is a spiritual, psychological, social, cultural, environmental, legal and financial journey to undertake. Above experiences are interdependent. My question to all is what does acceleration mean to you? What is accomplished by doing multiple things, at a faster rate and being continuously engaged in pursuit of something? Why does this happen?

Spiritually it is to know oneself. If I am mind or body, I will remain incomplete in whatever I do, in whatever pace and in whatever manner. By existence, I create situations that keep changing. This causes fear in us and we expect control. Expecting something and running after something and being disappointed and experiencing cycles of pain and pleasure - can it be solved by any system or any situation or by a person or by an individual or by a Nation? Please consider this question and find the answer for it yourself.

Desire cannot be fulfilled by actions of any kind – it is like putting butter on fire. By this, I mean that to do a particular thing at some decided rate does not guarantee eternal peace of any kind. Contrary to this, as one does things faster, multitasks things, starts to micro manage and micro control things, the “changes” appear much faster increasing the urge to aggressively control the accelerated changes. In a nutshell, micro control and micro planning results in faster changes in time and that increases anxiety and fear. This point comes into sharp focus as more and more of our activities, actions, outputs come under the influence of AI systems. The change has been happening for decades as far as the Developed Nations are concerned and the same nature of change is also knocking at our doorsteps.

The change can be spoken from the individual point of view as well as the collective. At the basis of this control and the nature of AI, is the expectation of humans to micro control all things and enhancement of the spirit of individualism – unlimited opportunities, creation of unlimited choices and to plan and execute things as per the individual will. As a result, for me this means that a situation consists of endless planning and choosing each and every action based on our billion changing priorities and to remain engaged with them based on how micro parameters change. I become too busy and completely self absorbed/ self obsessed with unending tasks. I can spare “no time” for anything else (any other person or any other “random” situation) since it will infringe the tightly woven tasks and that will obviously “annoy” me. So I reject any appeals from people or any random incidences that request my attention – these may range from kids asking your time, wife asking your time for discussing an issue, to traffic jams, to unplanned groceries to anything that may potentially disrupt my planned routine. This attitude has repercussions. Each person becomes an island in himself/ herself. He/ she is forced to believe that he/ she is “responsible” for everything under the sun for his/her self created routines, since each routine becomes extremely individually flavoured, so the point of “sharing” common concerns does not seem to arise at all! Thus, loneliness and anxiety can kick in for all people at all ages and there is no easy solution to this situation. Secondly anything that does not become predictable in the language of algorithm also gets chucked away.  A kid crying and the time required to pacify the kid is one such example for the parent. Feelings of all scales (kids, genders, elders) cannot be “contained” in a time slot and cannot be “predicted” to erupt and go! Feelings are irrational (non linear and non algorithmic) and hence require a different outlook to respond to them. A person may expect more than just logical answer to his/her problem (he/she may expect a listening ear and a hug – which according to a rational fellow, is completely uncalled for and may not even feature in the remotest corner of his/her imagination!) Hence people may feel suffocated and taxed by this extremely formalized routine, but may not understand what is happening to them. They may be extremely uncomfortable to even discuss their feelings (since they have already become islands in themselves) and even if anybody even attempted, then that person expressing his/her feelings maybe received with a cold shoulder by others and not even any acknowledgement of his/her feelings will be done. Acknowledgement does not mean mere explicit use of words – it means meaningful or intuitive eye contact, a gesture, a touch, a sound – all these things. In this entire system, the biggest beating that takes place psychologically is to not being empathetic to others feelings – be they human beings or animals. Ironically, I get so consumed in my own tasks that I fail to take notice of other spontaneous dimensions of the mind wishing to express themselves that creates mental fractures of sorts. In one way, this is self inflicted violence. I feel that this is the cost of individualism – loss of empathy and loneliness.

At a more general level, since everyone becomes an island in himself/herself, the idea or any thought or experience of “collective” does not arise! So some questions of why dining spaces are required, why streets are required, why common play grounds are required or even why gathering spaces are required abound in such scenarios or in such Nations. Secondly when one considers what is “collective” then it can encompass any concept from environment to ecology to shared history to a shared memory to shared feelings to shared threats and shared apprehensions. This means a shared experience of time, space, place - commonly called as “culture”. If there is nothing to be shared, then these concepts and space arising from them hold no meaning. Of course one may also argue that unnecessary superstitions, gender biases, arguments, also go away. Nothing remains since nothing is expected to be remained and dwelled further. Then one sees erasure of historical objects, built environments, cultural habitats, ecologically sensitive places and so on. Fundamentally, there is no place for “memory” in our minds. If anything I do is bound to change at a fraction of a second, then why bother to remember anything at all? The gravity of this question, if it sinks in, is too enormous and can literally fracture everything from a humanly shared experience to the environment around us. An existential crisis can strike one and all.

Lastly an appeal needs to be made about billion ways of thinking, processing, experiencing and responding to self and others. We have so many varieties of cultures – all a response to geographical situations. Self is not just an individual contained in a mind and body. In fact, mind is a phenomenon that can stretch to include all forms of existence. When will we understand this, if we do not allow the time to form such imaginations in our mind?

Should we believe that not doing anything by kids is a “waste of time?” When one does not do anything, is that person really wasting his/her time? If I stare at the sun and feel the silence of uncommunicated words between my family members, isn’t that a gift of communication that I have developed? If I paint or I sing, does that mean I am not producing anything? If I paint to express in silent ways, then will you understand this language? If I am ambiguous, I express feelings, I have a hobby, I take a stroll, I choose to remain slow and silent most of the times – where does this definition fit in the world of hurriedness? If I choose not to compete for the sake of pursuing anything, is that to be treated as a fault? If I just do a thing without a competitive purpose, is that wrong? If I say that I do not know all things instantly, is that a crime? If I say that I choose to just love a person without any conditions attached, does that sound unbelievable? If I say that facebook and google and their aspirations are trash, will you even consider why am I saying so?

After all, where is this running going to take us? More important than that – why do we run? This is a spiritual question – the one that has the potential to become God….but are you interested?!

 

Hari Om.

Concept

 

230122: Shree: Concept

It seems that I worry about self worth. This word is connected with fear, identity, movement, vibrations among other things. It is also an identification to mind and body and I being affected by the changes I see around; I considering myself as different from the rest; and I expecting control; I being conditional in responses and so on.

Self worth or “self” can be seen or perceived as motion or non motion. It depends on what is chosen to be focused. Today, I perceive motion and hence these feelings are what I create (and likewise the situations). Tomorrow I should concentrate on non motion and the entire perception will vanish. What I will then become is God and blissful state of existence. God is not a man or a thing or a form, but a state of existence that does not vibrate and only exists unconditionally. It only “is”.

Every form has this state of dimension. If that dimension can be tapped, then we will see the same dimension existing everywhere. I see or perceive a form – is itself an indication that I am still in motion (of vibrations). By concentrating the mind (a phenomenon of vibrations) at one concept or an idea, that idea is brought into reality. Hence the mind and reality are synonymous.

Today, I allow motion to inform my vibrations and hence I believe the manifestations. Tomorrow, I may perceive a zero state of existence and that will mean that God is real and not hypothetical.

So choose a concept that one wishes to focus on. Think, feel and act – use all dimensions to realize the concept. Concept is a possibility to realize a state of existence. God is a concept for us today. It has to become a reality. Once God becomes a reality, then manifestation will be reduced to a figment of imagination or just a concept.

Architecture starts with a concept. A concept is an idea that has the potential to become a reality if executed. A concept can have billions of dimensions. God can be said to be a concept where there is no urge to act and to exist without any vibrations. In other words, a concept also means to exist in a particular ‘form’, if focused onto it.

Hari Om.

Becoming God

 

220122: Shree

All is verily Brahman. What I see, what I hear, what I think, what am I - everything is a matter of vibrations that cause all these movements and manifestation. There are many characteristics of this perception and as long as I am motion, I will feel attachment, expectation, compulsion, dilemma, contradiction, change, mind, body, memory and so many things that define some action - in terms of thoughts, values, belief, situation, people and a product. This is not a default thing – it is something that we have become or have chosen to focus on and hence attracting as a form of existence. We may concentrate on something else and our perception and form will change accordingly. So perception and the physical form is interdependent. All is vibration or the existence of these things is dependent on the incidence or the tendency to vibrate – else what is there as movement anyway?!

Behind any motion that we therefore encounter or perceive, behind any situation, behind any form, behind all the projections of pasts and future – is that fundamental truth that is motionless, at rest and is not converted into anything but its mere presence causes all these motions and vibrations and perceptions for us!! So it is on how one concentrates and generates something as causes and effects. One can generate motion (or become motion) or non motion. Motion means change, past and future and maybe only a superimposition on consciousness.

What I see is what I get- as a relationship. Thoughts about body, mind, worry, fear, impermanence generate this motion and we cling to this. These come from consciousness, take the form of vibrations, become the mind and express through the body. So much of these vibrations are located deep down that we need to reach to that point of observation and nullify them. One person says something, I see the person and I think, I am compelled to respond to something and I get angry or happy and this scenario keeps changing. Why should I consider all this real and why should I let it affect me? I say myself, I am doing a career, I have a wife, I have a mother and father and  brother, I have other relationships and all of these are formed or valid as long as I remain attached to the imaginations created by vibrations.

So perception and physical presence is very intrinsic. They are not separate compartments and neither are they static. What I am seeing here as some form out there on space and time is a colour that I have splashed in water. I am a colour in the water. I am made of water, but I consider myself as the colour! Remove the ingredients of colour and what remains is water!

This act of removing is based on dissolving vibrations + concentrating mind at one point + becoming unconditional. By this practice, one becomes God.

Hari Om.

up to us

 

210122: Shree

It is up to us to what extent we allow us to be dragged into worldly affairs. Worldly affairs are the constructs of inner vibrations through which we remain in motion, we perceive space-time and we perceive change. With this comes fear and expectations of control and also attachment. When I am saying this, it is a phenomenon that happens in consciousness – like a magnet that attracts certain situations. There is a magnet, hence there is a needle or iron that gets attracted by this force, by which both the character of magnet and the needle become known. So, the magnet (form), iron(form) and the force of attraction are interdependent. All this is a play of force and form happening in the world of motion. They are perceived differently and hence there are effects and causes. We get affected since we  treat our identities or existences different from the rest. This difference makes us or keeps us engaged  with the hope of final resting place, but none exists here.

The final resting place of course exists – in non motion or in transcendence of motion. In other words to realize the existence of soul and that everything is in fact only one soul which is projected as force and form apparently, when seen from the lens of motion!

Again this creates the question of the nature of engagement required. It is up to us. I may believe that I am responsible for everything  and I find no peace. I may realize that responsibility was only an imagination coming from individual existence and hence a soul exists independent of anything and all talks of responsibilities do not hold much weight. This requires review of our thoughts and actions. Are we doing something for running or for avoiding or because of our purposes or intents? Then it is going to keep us engaged. Are we doing something to realize the soul in us? Then there will be peace by this realization.

Hari Om.

God

 

190122: Shree

There is no need to offer any justification or explanation. I am worthy of everything and I exist as a phenomenon. This may sound snobbish to some but I don’t care. Whether I know God or not is not my problem – I am discovering myself. History may be important to know what has happened before and what clues it offers for the future but it is not the book of reality of “soul”. All manifestations, taken from any point of space and time are only a figment as compared to the absolute reality of the soul that we all possess and which we are already an intrinsic expression. I am the soul in the form of motion and this motion makes me perceive change in space and time fabric. I get annoyed, I try to control things and I see everything as many and I expect or I run and I crave for control and security – all this of course is real for me as long as I believe so. It loses steam when I become God.

Skills are therefore meant to realize this truth and sharpen our concentration and transform us into God. I sharpen my skill in a particular domain or as a life skill. Finally, all things from livelihood to career to relationships need to be aligned and make one realize the ultimate truth. My existence is not meant to prove anything – as it is I have some eyes, ears or senses, a body, a mind, a colour, a texture, a value, which is incidental. These change and then I fear this change and look at the situation to complement this incompleteness. Since the situation itself is the outcome of vibrations, I run after illusions but do not find any security, for the expectation itself was a big fraud.

Anyway, soul exists; it knows no change; it is pure and it transforms into any form. It is unconditional and always inspired and nothing of motion can ever taint it. So the mind and body keeps changing eternally. The soul can communicate or express in any way possible and in any lateral fashion and by deploying any relationships of variables. It is at ease, and does not consider life or its expression as some kind of a “project” to be done or approved or got over with!

This is what we are supposed to become. What I do or you do and whatever that results as causes and effects are just not a means to define anything. It is not real, except our making of it. So the worries are uncalled for.

Why remain so much bothered about situations? Tomorrow or yesterday – is an imagination we make. We control variables, but they change. So things are bound to change. Become unconditional in existence. I exist not for any purpose. I exist to realize this state. I exist for God. I exist as God. I am God.

The logical way is not the only way to live life. I can live through work or love but essentially I need to become unconditional and drop any attachment that is created through vibrations. So any start point is valid, any dimension is valid and one is always unique, beautiful and complete in oneself. The fears are uncalled for and so are expectations of any kind. People do not know what they say and why they say and how they say certain things. It is ok. There is no such thing as “fixing” something or “fixing” oneself. If at all there is anything to be done, then it is to only remember God and remain blissful.

Hari Om.

Illusion

 

170122: Shree

Thoughts or vibrations are our compulsion to cling to existence or motion. Intent, purpose, force, attachment – these constructs only work or come to existence by vibrations, which may be felt as thought and seen or perceived as a changing form. Hence behind any situation and form, are vibrations. In fact whatever I am, is a figment of vibrations that I have chosen to focus. The primary cause of this motion is consciousness, which is beyond all these happenings, hence all of us are born from the same source. However we do not see it that way and the fear or the clinging to our constructs is because of the impact of this motion on us or on our perceptions. And then we become the fox, we think it is real, then we run, we hoard, we avoid, we prefer something, we reject, we evaluate and we think that perfection is located somewhere else and in some other time. All of this is illusion. Why does this happen need not be answered and neither is there any logical answer to this situation. There is no point in seeking any logical answer and to be disturbed by causes and effects and to define our worth accordingly. Everyday there are so many things that happen despite whatever we think, then where is the question of credit and responsibility?! We create the situation and we become the situation itself. Thus situation and us are not different and everything can be regarded as our own reflection. What exists or gets created “inside” is what gets caught “outside”. Thus vibrations affect the manner in which we see ourselves and the world around us.

If there were no vibrations, then there was not me or you or anything that is present in space and time. There was no past or future or anything to be worried about or to plan something or to compare. So we create the world of dreams – you, me, father, mother, friend, enemy, anger, love, grass, mountain, clouds, rain, earth, sun, galaxy, blue, green  - all in terms of form and name (perception). I am as much present in self as much in the Sun. What makes us “different” apparently – just the conditions we lay on us. If at all our responses and attitudes become purely unconditional, then nothing affects my perception and I work, think, love and concentrate without any conditional purpose.

I become God. Thus existence or the reality of God is unconditional, only One, absolute, unchanging and Truth. Every instant can be treated as something personal (to be attached and get affected) or to be seen that it is all unreal and self created and need not define my worth.

My worth is above all, it is unaffected by anything out there and I am absolutely still, blissful and unconditional. What one says, in what words, with what intent, when, how, where, why – just is not my concern at all. And what I say is not to be seen as any cause or effect of anything else. My existence is without any cause and any effect – all these causes and effects are mere hallucinations. I only exist and I only vibrate. There is only “I” (or the One). To act or not to act; to say or not to say; to run or stop; to be fast or to be slow is not the issue here – it is merely about realizing the One. We go through motion and hence the answer lies in motion itself. We are illusions and we need to wake up from our dreams.

Hari Om.

Love

 

160122: Shree

Again I repeat, there is no such thing to be worried about – absolutely nothing! Things come and go and why they happen in certain ways in certain intensities to anybody cannot be answered and more importantly – need not be answered and need not be of any concern! What happens on a daily basis and what becomes of me is immaterial as long as I access the feeling of love! I guess this becomes a very liberating experience.

Situations based on our own vibrations are just incidental and have no real meaning except for making us realize the absolute truth. Man exists in dimensions of intellect, love, actions, so truth can be realized in so many ways! Because all things come out from the same Source! I say this or say that is not any different from what someone else says in whatever manner! The illusion that we harbor is of motion and hence this perception of “many” and this compulsion to cling to our tiny egos! Yet, this too is inevitable and needs to be accepted if we have to heal ourselves and become spiritual.

My love is required to be unconditional. There actually is NO cause and effect in the motion – which we try extremely hard to name a cause and find its effect - this in itself becomes extremely limited and raises a lot of conditional responses within us. Try to just drop this attitude – it amounts to wasting one’s time and energy. Since we exist as motion, we do not hear or feel or see God. We exist within the framework of millions of self created conditions – so why will God ever come to us?! If you want to become God, then you are embarking on the process of being unconditional and existing without any motion or manifestation or form or vibrations or space or time. You are just there without any beginning or end and only as a witness having the greatest potential to be anything and to take any form. You are the only One. Then for you, nothing matters and nothing causes change in you. What one says or doesn’t say; what you do or don’t do; what happens today or tomorrow; where you go or don’t go; what you read or don’t read – all is unconditional – there are  no demands imposed by you, since all of this does not dictate any response from you! God is actually in this manner! He does not expect anything from us. He just loves, since His love is entirely unconditional and hence is not constrained by space and time! I think that another word for manifestation or movement is “love”!

Hari Om.

Instead of going round and round let us get straight to the point of “vibrations”. The whole of forces, forms, intent and expressions and perceptions are based on this tendency. One may use any kind of approach to live life or to perceive life – as a scientist or artist or philosopher or anybody, but all are vibrations. Consciousness is filled with unlimited unconditional potential to manifest as forces and forms. Any kind of vibration that gets set in consciousness can generate any kind of force and form – we included. In that aspect, everything is just an illusion or is present because of the potential of the medium of consciousness to start a vibration. Nothing would matter if the vibrations get dissolved. The tendency or the fascination to cling to motion/ movement/ form/ perception/identity/ construct is all contained in this vibration. I am also a vibration. I may consider myself of mind and body having a pair of sense organs which feed me signals that I analyse and decode and make sense and respond and so forth – but all is just vibration. This creates movement, space and time and relationships and what we see is also through this movement. We have chosen to cling or concentrate on motion and hence this is what we see and believe as if our entire life or our notion of life depended on it. This goes on to say that physical and psychological factors are interrelated and no physical form can be seen or perceived or responded to unless we perceive it in some way in our mind. So mind perceives and makes reality or creates situations. Or it is a vibrator. Dissolve the vibration and what remains is only consciousness.

The idea of concentration is to reduce distractions of motions and to make the mind steady at only one point. Mind runs here and there – just as motion. If I stop the motion, the picture of manifestation or movement stops; clinging stops, attachment stops; illusion stops; fear stops; impermanence stops; change stops….

And the consciousness is revealed!

So consciousness does not require any vibrations for Its existence. By Itself it is complete, blissful and having absolute knowledge and absolute existence.

Hurt

 

140122: Shree

Time and again one thing gets proved that no matter how much care one takes about thinking of philosophy and God and behavior, one gets misinterpreted again and again. Why does this happen cannot be answered and going after the answer itself in that sense creates an ambiguous scenario and deconstructs notions of “me” – what I am supposed to do; what I am doing; what I expect; what I am entitled to receive; and what actually the situation becomes or is perceived by me.

Finally it becomes a matter of perception, which governs or informs my imagination. Again, the answer to irritations of all kinds does not lie “there itself” and perhaps because we are human beings, irritations are integral part of our nature- all things are essentially perfect – by thinking and by ego, we make them appear imperfect and try to “solve” situations. This is fear. This is vibration and this is Maya.

Dissolve the perceptions born out of purpose/ intent/ form and things dissolve or situations dissolve or they appear mere movements or the illusion goes away and we become the One.

Many times, we may tend to think that we are imperfect and hence need to do this or that or think in this way or that way or say words in this way or that way and mitigate situations in this manner. We may try this, eventually all efforts are relative to change and hence limited in their effects. Our existence as motion changes and our perceptions too and also by others. Yet, being subjected to these pulls is accepted as long as one realizes that it is inevitable and an essential part of evolution. So do not feel guilty about anything or be annoyed about anything. This is training to be done on the self. All life and situations are training grounds for realizing our soul.

What situations happen, who says what and how one reacts, again, does not convey anything about our self worth. Please remind this to yourself again and again. We should no doubt remain engaged but not for any purpose or expectations or out of ego. Since God is the only absolute Truth, we trust this entity from which we have inherited a form.

Nothing can stop hurt for us except our own analysis and acceptance of existence of divinity within us and no one is to be blamed if we are not understood in any way or if the efforts do not get acknowledged. God is watching us or is a witness to our actions and intent. If at all, we need to be answerable to someone, then it is God.

Sorry for being annoyed. And I forgive myself (first of all) and others too.

Hari Om.

Stages in Life

 

130122: Shree

Motion continues as long as vibrations are entertained. Vibrations are name sake – the moment they are thought about (or for that matter any kind of motion that needs to be expressed as any kind of a force and matter) comes into existence. It is this that leads to the manifestation of space and time and cause + effects. I think through mind and body but what is all this? The mind or the body are just movements formed by vibrations. These vibrations go from extremely subtle levels to grosser levels till they take the form of “matter”. Thus the cosmos may be also considered as one continuous mass of vibrations. The force of vibrations is “outward” making consciousness express Itself as forces and forms. These keep changing. We have taken a form and this identification with this form makes us believe in requirements or compulsions or opportunities or limitations of “life”. Life is bound to change (situations, people, mind and body) since that is its nature. Why to crib about something that changes? Because we resist change. We resist change because we think our survival depends on being static. This is “Maya”. This thought itself stems from the property of the medium to vibrate from consciousness to motion. This is intrinsic property and we cannot separate ourselves from this property, for nothing really exists apart from this medium.

However, this property can take a form of motion or can also take a form of consciousness. Motion is impermanent and all the running and clinging and expressing is a part of the game. Permanence is contained in consciousness that is beyond vibrations (अव्यक्त). If I become consciousness, then no movement and manifestation exists for me. I exist without any force or form. I become permanently blissful. I become unconditional. I cannot be defined by anything or a concept or an idea or a force or a form. I am complete.

All the process of life is about becoming unconditional. Many lives are spent in not acknowledging this and to only be satisfied by what the body says or demands. Then comes a stage of rising to the ability of thinking where dilemma and contradictions are felt everywhere and one acknowledges the dynamics of motion and non motion and how to achieve control? We face a wall here and feel that we are stuck. We fear our loss of identity but we also know that this is our own illusion. The very supports that we consider in life are impermanent in nature, so how can they give us peace? Again, the search for answers takes us for more number of lives. Finally, we gain the courage to establish our focus on consciousness and starting our journey to become the One. We start to shed all our baggage and constructs and become empty and unconditional. This journey of continuous focus also takes us to more number of lives till finally, we become established in the One.

In the final becoming of consciousness, no conditions are required to be present to attain this state. Why certain journey was required, why did it take so much time, why things happen in particular ways, why certain things happen to me should not be questioned….All is God’s making and we can only surrender to His Will.

Hari Om.

Pain

 

Shree

Pain is expectation of something – a figment of imagination about how events should occur. This expectation is dependent on our perception of the world and this also is generated by vibrations and to cling to the belief of survival (motion). Many people blame me that I do not understand their pain. This may at first give me a sense of guilt and regret that I am responsible for all of them and I should have done something to mitigate the situation. This is an irrational assumption. “Blame” may also be only an expression done by people, which I imagine as blame and dishonor myself (a self inflicted pain).

This assumption is irrational on the grounds that no one has control over the complete scenario, so what happens when, how and where and why cannot be answered beyond a certain point (for which none of the people are responsible – which means forgiveness holds the key).

A situation is self created. This means that the same situation is seen by billion different ways by billion different participants and hence a universal or agreeable response is impossible to attend and hence there need not be a question about why people don’t seem to understand each other. Even if I try to understand any person, the effect is that I will understand a human perception in a different “form” (combination of hopes, sorrows, pain, nostalgia, fear, anxiety, control, ego etc.)  - so the same set of human vibrations embedded in each human being create unique interpretations for each individual. This is “Maya” or resistance to letting go off our little identities.

The answer to this situation is not of confirming or denial to anything, but only observing things as they seem to be appearing without complaining or expecting. With practice, the hold or compulsion of reacting to our perception will go away and so will importance or validity offered to situations that consist of people.

By this, our responses will become transcendental, unconditional and extremely honest.

Hari Om.

Purpose and transcendence

 

090122: Shree 

Love grows as one becomes unconditional – not concerned or bothered or attached to time and space. Space and time vibrate and that causes movement which in turn relates to perception of many; change and impermanence. Fundamental in all of this - is the expectation of attachment or identification with motion and our perception of existence. What we call as “our, your, mine” is actually just One.

The property of the medium of existence has three states - based on one’s vibrations – either as Soul or force or matter. It depends on what signals I generate and concentrate on. “I” is a point of existence or of concentration. This “I” currently has treated motion as very real for many lives and hence that is what I consider to be true and that is the reason why I experience all vibrations of thoughts of all kinds and these in turn generate “situations”. God is an intrinsic part of motion; however we do not see God and we do not hear Him. God is not caught in space and time and is beyond motion and hence perception. That does not mean that God is separate and motion is separate – the state cannot be described in any way – either this or that or both or none or starting from this and going to there or vice versa. Both states are equally true – we only say that motion is of “lesser value” as compared to consciousness. Thus, our tendencies, although not befitting the realization of God, are still a valid start point to take us to transcendence. From the form or motion of any kind, one comes to the state of non motion. Motion takes us to non motion and by taking to either state it means that both these states are possible to attend and they are not compartmentalized or separated by a definite boundary – they depend on our tendencies of perception.

Sant Dnyaneshwar suggests that as long as “I” remain in motion, I will be compelled to act, to perform, to run, to vibrate, to desire, to think, to feel, to do whatever it takes to complete a situation. In other words, I “invent” a purpose for my actions and by this invention, there is expectation and there is entanglement – and the cycle becomes endless. This tendency of motion generates from vibrations which are deeply rooted in our minds. The trigger for our behavior is not anything external, but located internally at a very subtle level. Motion it seems has penetrated through and through our minds in the form of vibrations. We have to reach to that subtle level and go beyond that because that is where stillness is located.

To do this, one requires an approach of “yog”. By doing this, there are simultaneous changes taking place in one’s perception – external reality does not matter; external reality does not make any mark on us; we are not the motion; there exists stillness in us; the entire manifestation was only a dream; mind impressions are from many lives; fear and control are aspects of the medium of motion; God is the only thing that is entirely complete and is the only One and is unconditionally blissful; God is supposed to be the only purpose in our lives.

Remove

 

080122: Shree

Forms exist because of intent or vibrations or purpose. All manifestation exists because of vibrations or movement or intent. I perceive motion, means I am also motion at the same time. So there is a purpose for movement or there seems to be a cause for all the manifestation, forces and forms we see or perceive or feel or think about. The intellect says that it may be a “cause” for that is the only language to satisfy itself! Whereas it may just be the “property” of that One medium to feel itself as consciousness or force or matter. All these states exist in any manifested or apparent form. These states are what “us” are (or anything is) and hence we sense this medium in any of these states.

There is actually no change in the medium that we call as “One”, the change is only apparent or superimposition of vibrations. If vibrations are thought about, they are created in the medium and that results in perception and form. If variations are not thought about (if there is no trigger or purpose or intent or condition) then there is no motion or a form.

As spirits, we exist or remain attached to mind and body because we express intent or some purpose, we vibrate, we haven’t “seen” the complete picture, we do not know our true nature, we remain attached to motion and hence we think and perceive life. We run, we hoard things, we avoid, we resist, we expect, we blame, we cling, we defend, we gather to control and we do everything that encourages this behavior of clinging. These tendencies are in “us” and that is what we catch and we endorse and hence continue to live thousands of lives.

The lesson is that there is no other “thing” out there; there is no such thing as internal and external, there is no motion, there is no separation, there need not be fear or impulse or attachment or space or time or anything….none of these things require consciousness to exist – It being unconditional and It is purely complete in Itself.

Today, we see motion and that has created a huge dent on our perception. The medium is such that there is a tendency to create or superimpose vibrations and create billion forms that keep changing and rising and falling – all these are just apparent manifestation of the Same Being. To think that I am separate from the rest and to therefore condition our response because of fear is an illusion.

Break the illusion and one will come to realize that there wasn’t any movement in the first place! All causes and effects go away; sequences go away; transformations go away and so on….

There is no such thing as how much and till when and where and why. Satisfaction is not the property of motion and it will compel one to keep doing; keep running; keep harbouring desires; keep vibrating; keep defending; keep justifying; keep imagining; keep perceiving; keep changing.

We fear change and the realization of impermanence that exists in motion. Yet the seed of transcendence is already planted in all of us, irrespective of who we believe we are and what we have become. Remove the baggage of conditions. Remove all causes and effects. Remove all signals and remove the attachment of mind and body. Remove all of this and become the One.

Hari Om.

 

 

Existence

 

020122: Shree

Existence means a decision to concentrate on something. There isn’t a medium where ”nothing” exists – it is either a realization of consciousness or of motion. The same medium becomes consciousness or becomes motion. All kinds of motions that arise from vibrations (or intent or will) appear as “forms”. The form that I perceive in front of me means that there is motion in which I exist and which has made me separate from other forms and hence I perceive them. Separation is a perception and hence this separation results in forces and forms. It is real as long as I entertain this idea. This idea is to be filled or replaced by the idea of Oneness, wherein there is no movement, no need of any vibrations, no forces, no forms, no fluidity, no space and time, no causations. This is the malleability of the given medium.

There is no other phenomenon out there apart from consciousness, so what is to be feared and why worry and why condition our response? Fear, worry, stress, conditions are inherent effects of vibrations that create forms and separations. God is unconditional and requires nothing or no purpose to exist or to accomplish anything. In Himself, He is absolutely complete, where nothing remains to be done or to think or plan or to act. Vibrations cause space-time phenomenon and that leads to change. God has vibrations and these are superimposed on Him and He takes various forms including us. Once a form is taken, He is subjected to Laws of Nature and that essentially means movement, interdependence and change. This keeps the world going. It is said that all phenomena will dissolve back to the Source. In human beings we call that renunciation, wherein we do not pay any attention to what vibrations compel us to do. This weakens the vibrations and dissolves them finally. The decision to weaken or dissolve the vibrations is our effort. The process by which this can be done are many; any start point is good enough.

On a day to day basis, it is important to accept the flow of things and respond without any expectations. Time and space are immaterial and they need not govern our actions. I am not conditional and I do not have any motive and I am not defined by manifestation. I exist because of the will of God and whatever happens as events or situations or to me either today or tomorrow is because of His will. I am not separate from Him and He is all there is to reality. I am just trying to understand this idea and become this state. So why to be stressed out by what anyone else says or expects or what pressures time and space introduce? I am perfect without any proof; today is perfect; tomorrow will be perfect. I love unconditionally; I enjoy and for living I do not need any motive. For working and for using my intellect I do not need any motive. I can take anything I love to do, I need not worry what that result will be, I can be disciplined or persistent and whatever I do, I do it for my own discovery. For others are an illusion, I do not wish to entertain that idea, I have no control over motion of others or intent of others and I am not responsible for their events or situations or feelings. I only exist and I work. I work.

Hari Om.

The only One

 

Shree 

The need of God can be spoken in the following way:

Perception is dependent on faculties of the mind. If we had more number of senses, our perceptions would have been different. So God does not depend on perception. Perception only reveals a part of the picture. Since this picture is incomplete and changing we experience insecurity and fear regarding what will happen next – a sign of worry and attachment to perception.

What we perceive, we make it real. Perception depends or is triggered by intent (vibrations). These vibrations when strengthened by force/ desire result in a thought and action through body. This generates a cycle of engagement. The answer does not lie in creating cycles of engagement to quench desire. Desire cannot be erased by action, as long as ego persists. For what do we act, for what do we learn or for what do we run? These questions are important to be decoded.

In reality only perception exists. When one realizes that security does not lie in motion at any scale of imagination from micro to macro and our identity does not depend on motion and neither is it contained by motion, then we start to renounce things. We think that security lies in pursuing different kinds of imaginations of space or time or scale or causation logics BUT when we search everywhere in space and time and at all scales, we realize eventually that the search was illusive and the thing to be calmed is our internal vibrations instead of looking for answers outside. The situations are created by internal vibrations. One has to look within and not outside for any answers.  I am not defined by action or motion at all or what I think. I am not defined by the other – there is no other to be feared. A man can know any form of any scale and become anything based on altering his perception.

I exist and this property is reflected as perception. Perception is of motion or of non motion. I need to concentrate on something. Unconsciously we concentrate on motion and what we think in terms of separation, identity, purpose, dilemma, fears and so on – become real to us as situations, people, and events and so on. If we stop thinking or vibrating, only then we become consciousness which is beyond all motions. This can happen when we know that all phenomena were just apparent or superimpositions arising from our incomplete understanding of the state of consciousness. Thinking means movement where “difference” exists. All forms that we see, we consider them separate from “us” and hence there is perception and a response to deal with such differences of forms. However, if we become consciousness, there is no vibration, so there is no difference, so there is no movement or the movement of all kinds just appears as a faint noise in the medium of consciousness. If I am the only One, then where is the question of difference? Where is you, me, top, down, big, small, fear, pleasure, smell, noise, touch, smooth, soft, round, square, sphere, cube, porous, solid, green, red, dark, light, slippery, rough, thorny, muddy, pit, hole, mountain, tree, river, flow, danger, sun, comet, dust, ant, buffalo, whisky, flute and any other construct?
