200222: Shree

Sometimes a series of thoughts fill one’s mind. God is a concept and a realization that will generate a billion kinds of thoughts that deal with various dimensions of existence (body, mind and vibrations) and they may appear complementary, sometimes contradictory, sometimes may raise more questions, sometimes may reveal something, sometimes may expand one’s mind and at times may make one face one’s fear head on. Because there is no standard “answer” to what is God, we therefore experience interpretative stance (forever changing) till a moment of complete transformation occurs and all the voices going on for so long seem to fizzle out or mean one and the same. In short, the “movement” of thoughts vanishes and what remains is pure consciousness. What we considered so far as dilemma or complementary or contradictory thoughts – were one and the same and there doesn’t arise an urge in us to support one thought over the other since all thoughts were basically “steps” to lead to the grand narrative or all thoughts were also limited in another sense. This use of the terms of “or”, “either”, “and”, “perhaps”, “this or that”, this and that” is a part of the process of becoming consciousness - it may seem confusing to self and others but it is necessary process of undertaking. It also means that the realization or the mystery of existence is ingrained in inspiration and not just logic. I think I am separate, hence a stance or a position or a thought pattern is perceived within us, with which we see the entire world. Thoughts are magnets that create situations. One of the basic impacts of thoughts is a feeling of being incomplete (a construct/ perception) and which urges us to keep engaging or expecting a perfect situation and we fear change, or we cling or remain attached to ego and so on. The feeling of incompleteness is what is manifestation and this property is also present in us. As long as we feel incomplete, manifestation will also be perceived. Incompleteness or change or separation is the basic property of manifestation which is eternal and will not stop. By “property” I mean that it is not absolute, but exists in our minds (we have taken on that property; have made the property “come alive” in consciousness) and hence have created this world of movement and change.

Thus consciousness has the property of generating anything and dissolving it. The issue is that we forget that we are consciousness and we stick to an illusion of vibrations-mind-body. We think that I am real, this table is real, my father is real, that tree is real and so on. What is “reality” after all? That which is perceived as existence by the mind. The  “mind”, as we understand – is it “real”?  We think it is and hence whatever it perceives comes into existence.

What is expected is to realize that “incompleteness” as a current state of “mind” is inevitable but the answer to quench this feeling depends on the manner in which one looks at the vibrations. Vibrations are notional. All is notional. IF vibrations or movement dissolves, consciousness is realized – a sense of eternity is realized and transcending space and time is realized.

Behind everything is God. All intents, actions, relationships, situations are God’s making (a property of medium). We exist as waves, thinking ourselves as separate but we are the children of God and hence our ego or doing or clinging comes in the way of this realization.

So give up the world – they mean nothing. This is also done in many ways. One of them, as a manner of engagement with existence, is to become unconditional in thinking, feeling, and action. Forget that you are separate, you are mind or body and you are entitled for something and you should protect yourself or you are facing any misery and so on – ALL are constructs that the ego generates. Forget your separation. All is One and the One is always unconditional and eternal. I exist and that does not require any proof. Existence is not required to be evaluated or judged. The feeling of incompleteness is NOT an indication of my worth. I see, I do, I work, I think for God. In no other way the manifestation is required to indicate anything else.

On another note, architecture can be inspired from anything – any start point can create beautiful architecture and take one beyond. So we have this capacity to be inspired and make something “tangible”. Then this tangible element also may take us to transcendence. The consciousness does all this – the property to create movement and create forms and then take one beyond forms themselves. Forget asking question of space and time. Why things appear in a particular way and in a particular order and change at a particular rate is fine to accept. It is all God’s doing. Accept it as a chance to transcend and meet God.
