160422: Shree: Giving back

A moment is a moment – never to return in the same way. Existence is continuous – currents as felt by the mind and each current being different. We think that we have a continuous character from birth to death and that is because we have chosen to focus on some primary experiences or vibrations and hence they make us perceive existence (our perception and responses etc.) in that manner. We focus on a few thoughts and that make our character. We attach ourselves to those and construct self esteem, identity, ego and that sort of thing. We define a purpose and try to get it. Thus we build a layer of defense against change or a screen to respond to change.

Then what does a human being represent? It represents a set of vibrations that build a human perception and makes us perceive reality or construct a reality as per the nature of our vibrations – mind and body. A human being is a type of vibration (a form of manifestation that starts with invisible and goes to forces and finally becomes visible). And then we remain bothered about survival, security, change and keep feeling insecure no matter what we do – from thoughts to feelings to actions to money to security responses. And the cycle continues and so does creation. This is entanglement and purpose is contained herein.

A day comes when we wake up to the question of what the hell am I doing and then we realize an entity beyond space and time, which has also made us. This entity is beyond our grasp but we can sense it if we focus our vibrations onto It. We then start to become the One by quieting the mind and going inward, deep into the recesses of the mind – back, back, till it all becomes silent. This is a journey that each one of us will embark eventually since it is the nature of our perception to seek answers.

There is another perspective to manifestation. Separation is not a problem (or the attachment or of “many”). It is a state of existence of consciousness. In fact nothing exists apart from consciousness. Manifestation is a state of existence (of thoughts and feelings) wherein I see a lot of different forms, I am separated and hence a lot of action is perceived at the same time, a lot of movement, a lot of visible energy – we call it dilemma, contradictions, tendencies, characters, varieties, noise, and so on. I being separated see the tail, then the leg, then the eye, sometimes the trunk, I make all these compartments but all is actually parts of consciousness.

The story of “many” is a learning to be done to come to the Truth of the One. Till then, many things are seen, things happen, we respond, we create responses to defend ourselves or to remain protected and we are compelled to do all of this. So do not compare and always know that things operate in manifestation and by nature represent incompleteness and change and hence are temporary. Also they represent a state of consciousness. Whatever happens is not personal and whatever I do, is not personal.

Thus whatever should be done, is supposed to be unconditional. We have that nature in us – to love despite anything. Let’s do it. Let go of everything – even yourself. Give it back to the Lord.
