300622: Shree: revelations and architecture

revelations happen when they have to without any intent or purpose or initiation or expectation - revelations maybe about life, self, motion, bliss, nature of existence, work, responses and anything that takes us beyond. it is for this reason that effort in right living is expected so that revelations become a default experience eventually for us. what i realized to day while reading as compared to what i may understand tomorrow while reading are different things. no matter even if i want to continue today's tranquil experience - it may or may not be the same tomorrow. so was tranquility in my hands or vibrations? yes and no. and this is the reality one must live with. and be ok with all the ambiguousness that motion makes us perceive.

this has reflections on the nature of architecture too - that it can be made too explicit, materialistic, mundane and logical (mindscape) something which i feel is happening in developed nations and something which remains to be realized, felt, is implicit about values, rooted, ambiguous, intuitive  - something that probably terms such as indigenous, vernacular, traditional, pre-industrial, ancient architecture may be offering. Hence movement, space, activities, climate, site, technology can also be deployed to generate such feelings or values which make us tap consciousness within us.

even if consciousness is the absolute reality we have to work our way to realize It. We are born as constructs or illusions and hence cannot see the Truth. for this, remembering and taking  the name of God is fundamental to develop this realization. the name of God is strength, potential, patience, eternal, non judgmental, tranquil, love. this will generate those tendencies in us that we associate with God. Thus all motions and variations speak the same truth and are complimentary to one another. A person being too fast and another being too slow will finally lead to the same point and hence too fast or too slow are the same as far as consciousness is concerned. Align yourself, in whatever way possible for your own vibrations, to reveal God.
