Shree: Perception

 

300822: Shree: Perception

perception also means awareness of existence. the quality of awareness can change based on how we mould our mind - it can go to Godliness or Divinity or perceive visibility and changing "forms" and "many". the fact that i perceive motion is an indication of what state of mind i harbour currently. i am vibrating at the moment and these create forces and forms and hence leads to visibility of creation or motion or dependence or change and fundamentally - separation from others. "separation" is a state of mind (an illusion) and hence i can "see" or "hear" or "smell" or "taste" something which is separated from myself. therefore the relevance of "senses" comes into the picture if i entertain their existence and let thoughts be informed by them. all of the motion that i perceive "enters" or informs the mind (or the awareness) through senses currently. and therefore actions seem to be governed by what is perceived. this brings in the aspect of "memory"  - something that one chooses to "remember" and one is currently remembering and endorsing the relationship of senses to thoughts to perceptions  - and this too is not of only this life - but of all other previous lives - so deep rooted may be the impressions  imprinted on the mind.

this need not be the case always. by practicing, one understands the above relationship more clear and decides to take certain steps to renounce this limited relationship and expand the awareness to become the One. this is a process and may take time (time again is a relative concept). even if the above relationship, as is stated, appears quite linear or sequential, it may not be a matter of start or end point or where and how one should begin. this is true for all dimensions of life - in motion all things are interconnected and hence to treat any kind of a start point as absolute yields limited results. that start point may be a vibration or an experience or a situation or a person or words or anything - it is bound to change and it remains interdependent, hence incomplete (as a memory or something to be acted upon).

therefore what are we looking at currently?! action beginning  on some point is important as long as we perceive motion. however it is also a matter of trust - meaning many things beyond our perception or intended action materialize and for this the One is required to be trusted and remembered. In what way things materialize and happen for us is not known and need not be complained about, since all is Him and His intent works.

finally the above awareness takes a unique character and form for each person (or vibration or tendency or mindscape). the point is to become calm despite whatever uniqueness gets perceived by us and whatever "mood" gets created by this awareness.
