Shree: Delight and Being

 

Shree: Delight and Being

quantum does not indicate the effect or importance or impact of quality. i sometimes feel that scale, proportions are as much about feelings as they are about physical measures. or perhaps measurement means the nature of perception and hence depending on the nature of perception, the measurement or ideas of scale and proportion (nearness or farness) change or are expressed. therefore even if things are sequenced rationally and linearly, they are interpreted or perceived in different ways by the mind. the same approach or system may not work if thought from feelings. hence fast or slow become relative terms and not solely dependent on logical analysis. this subjectivity of existence is to be acknowledged. Doing things fast may mean slow from perspective of feelings and doing things slow may involve intense feelings - so there is no direct connect from logical perspective.

what one therefore is asking here is empathy for diversity and acceptance of the same and heightened tolerance.

this separation of quantum from quality is seen in thoughts, feelings, actions, relationships, situations and so on. my guess is that heightened need for logical or rational processes may lead to heightened need for privacy and more anxiety perhaps. individualism is a logical idea and more this spirit is endorsed, more is the separation of self required.

when one talks about being slow, be non judgmental, feel - one is indicating a return to qualitative aspects of existence.

and therefore, modern idea of life has endorsed logical or rational attitudes at the cost of qualitative and compassionate tendencies. i become too deterministic, too self absorbed, too  isolated, too much individually driven, too much demanding and competing at the cost of every human feelings i can also express. this is a problem. in developed nations, people assume that they are required to be in complete control of every damn thing of life including their minds, but explicitness does not guarantee steadiness and health of feelings, which nevertheless informs our perception. why can't we acknowledge this? hence systems and tasks and productions do not necessarily assure a good healthy mind and body. guilt and shame are indicators that logical mind does not have answers to many fundamental issues and these feelings are also important to be vented and not suppressed under the carpet.

there is also a problem of assuming that we can solve all issues no matter how grave they might look to us. issues of existence, tendencies, vibrations, empathy, intangibleness are beyond logical explanations. consider meaning of existence. why things happen in what ways and where and when and how are things - one cannot explain and one has to only accept and trust. Silence is required and it is not necessary to fill everything with noise or words or explanations. it is not even a matter of comparison or taking positions. it is not even a matter of coming to a conclusion and working your way through it. i exist and i will vibrate and be in motion. this means perception and forms and change and interdependence. it also means incompleteness and potential of becoming. so it is ok to feel all this change and it is actually natural to feel so.

Existence is about delight and being. And for this, any path, any pace, any work, any thought, any action, any situation is accepted since delight and pure being do not depend on situations (or can still be found underneath anything).
