Shree: Perception

 

311222: Shree: Perception

 

Perception or the awareness of existence is a human trait – stepping down from consciousness. However since consciousness is always there - we manifest as human beings (coming from vibrations to forces and forms) and in this process we and our beliefs of separation are constructed. It is only One medium that is felt as “many” when manifestation is perceived. So perception is finally a construct and not absolutely “real” – or it is a constructed reality representing a state of existence. This construction of reality is creation - becoming visible as forms and dissolving again into the Source.

 

What is a form? A form “manifests” from vibrations or intent or potential of consciousness. Then again, as consciousness “manifests”, It does so into “many, dependent, conditional and changing” forms. A form or anything that manifests has this property of motion. Hence I become motion and I change and am dependent or conditional and that is what creates a perception of existence. This leads to thoughts and feelings. Therefore whatever we see – whatever - either as motion or object or relationships or situations or people - are constructs or manifestations from One consciousness.

 

The point is to realize Godliness among this “many perception” – to increase the depth of awareness and become steady in vibration. A conscious effort is required. Through this effort whatever may happen and may befall is to be realized coming from God or the inner Source of our being and hence to be accepted. Things happen in mysterious ways of motion and causes and effects. They are from God so we need not worry about past or future or even present times. There is no “we” here - there is only One unconditional existence.  All of us manifest from the same Source.

Shree: Love

 

301222: Shree: Love

i am from God - as vibrations or forces or forms or change or constructs or interdependence and all thoughts and feelings and perception of the world (of motion). i do not exist as something absolute or 'real' - i am only a construct that clings to the notion of separation and sees everything separated. is that a choice i implement? i don't know. i am only aware that this is a position i am born with and i will go unless i do something about it. do something what? something to increase the awareness more - to become God or non motion or absolute or blissful or unconditional. all meanings are limited, all manifestations are dated and behind everything is the cause of God. inspiration or love exists without any form. a form arises under certain conditions or limitations and whenever it arises, there is interdependence and change and perception. it represents a state of existence - motion and hence space and time. but if everything is dissolved, what remains is Existence or Love. thus Love is the most fundamental feeling that is beyond all known manifestations.

Shree: Becoming

 

271222: Shree: Becoming

 

Interdependence of things. No thought or feeling exists in isolation. Individualism is a flawed concept. At the cost of individualism is the need of control at microscale, more desires, more variables, more dependence and more need for control - leading to apathy of the individual, lack of shared values, isolation, and alienation. Material benefit at whoever cost does not lead to peace.

 

In fact nothing of motion does if the Source of existence is forgotten. That which seems to vibrate perceives change and changes as well and remains interdependent. This is a fact of existence. I perceive which means that there is a construct of “I” that is born from vibration in the medium of consciousness. The moment I am born, so is the perception of the entire universe. Perhaps myself, my mind, body, perception and the universe and space-time mean one and the same (as motion) except seen as different things. Things are never different and there are never any things in existence – all is vibration that makes things appear differently.

 

We will never understand this unless we act unconditionally out of pure love. Love exists in absolute sense and does not require any “medium” to express itself- space or time. If a question is asked what comes first space-time or love, then it will always be love. So love in that sense is a vibration or a state of existence. And this also means that absolute existence that never changes and is never many and is always unconditional is called Love and exists beyond space – time expression.

 

One becomes Love by practice and remembering. Any habit can be inculcated since mind is an expression of existence that brings any vibration into reality. There is no answer to vibrations or engagement with it or objects or situations or self or perception – all represent circles. All is like a dream but it has to be worked upon to clear off the mist and become Love. At least this is as far as we can understand as human beings.

 

So let things happen – there are for a reason. Do not complain and compare or evaluate. Start in good faith and keep doing things unconditionally. Love and put faith. Trust. The name of God is to be said because we do not know how things affect us deep down no matter every care may have been taken to address things and we do not know how things materialize based on any of our actions. As long as actions remain conditional, we expect control and we fear. The moment actions become unconditional, we become steady and full of love. Becoming is the key element, not survival.

Shree: Experience

 

Shree: Experience

best place is that where there seems a natural movement of all elements from climate to materials to people to landscape - everyone is allowed to grow and nourish one another. how can we bring this feeling in our life and design? should we be so occupied and compartmentalized that we shut out climate, people, culture and history and our own core and thoughts and feelings? in other words should thoughts and feelings that seem to include everything suddenly turn into disconnected fragments? by not observing  the self or witnessing the self, we hurt ourselves eventually. history of humanity (at least in some parts of the world) may be seen how experiences (of environment, architecture, landscape and so on) have changed from community perspective to individual perspective to fragmentary perspective  - maybe there still exists some people where community perspective or a wholesome perspective still lingers?

can creativity or the making of "forms" as containers or generators of experiences be seen from this perspective? can experiences have a component of past or collective ideas or environment or community engagement or place making and so on? do these enhance the aspect of shared experiences? from this angle, do mythologies work? do folk tales work? do artistic attitudes work in creating such environments?

we probably are at the brink of annihilating ourselves by giving complete control to AI. visual environments may be sterile, cold, grays, clean but the experiences they may indicate would be alienation. the hell with such systems that compartmentalize, become bureaucratic and cumbersome and discourage for any interaction or change all in the name of production and privacy and "individual" freedom. the hell with space and time that feels alienated and does not allow oneself to just "be" and compels one to be sophisticated (or politically correct).

all is one - mindscape to systems to environment to built forms. each one affects the other or in other words, the same nature of vibrations is reflected either as thoughts or as forms or as built environment or as systems or anything else. therefore, as much as architecture may seem important, the activities and the systems that generate an experience within the forms also become important. a "box" is a box - but it might either feel as heaven or as a prison depending on what experience does it generate by host of factors. in the end, experience is all that matters (as an aspect of existence).

we talk of architecture as the container of experience but actually "motion" or "manifestation" becomes the container of experience.

Shree: Trust

 

241222: Shree: Trust

 

Everything happens for good. God only is there and all creation is from Him – it is far, far beyond any logical sequence and that itself is a wonder. Remember God and there is absolutely no need to even ask any purpose of asking ‘why’ regarding this and what it might give. There is no purpose to action or planning or output etc. Give to the Lord, surrender, love and become unconditional. Do not think from human perspective because that becomes limited and breeds fear and ego. Rise above these tendencies and trust that goodness you will become. There is only trust that can transform the mind and make it subtle and One.

 

All of motion is God’s doing and hence there is a nature of change, interdependence, conditions, visibility and intangibility. This is perception of motion and that is a way of knowing the presence of God or consciousness. God can also be “felt” in absolute sense and for this again, trust is necessary.

 

Perception is like a cloud - changing and a mist that colours the absolute truth. The sky is the truth which makes the clouds; the sky remains even if the clouds vanish. Consciousness is always there without any movement or vibration and all motion is born from consciousness itself. Motion takes different forms, changes, is conditioned and so are we. The fears we experience along with other thoughts and feelings are a result of this phenomenon of motion. Yet the cloud can become the sky again if the property with which it exists is removed. Saying the name of God or remembering Him is removing the temporary property of motion that we have become, so we may again be the One. This transformation of motion to consciousness or perception to the One is by trust alone.

 

Please give me the strength to become You!

 

Hari Om.

Shree: Awareness

 

231222: Shree: Awareness

 

Anything of existence is eternal - either the absolute One or the illusionary motion or vibration. It is mysterious in the way in which signals are internalized and expressed as space and time. We do not know. We do not know how, where, when things become or manifest and how after perceiving them, they affect us. We can only sketch an outline and this outline tells us that all is interconnected and yet we have no control over any of this. It is God’s will that works and this thought needs to become the core of our being.

 

Having no control is an indication of the nature of vibration – as being eternal and changing and therefore forming constructs. Being interconnected also means that there is a property beyond our limited perception that connects all into one single Source.

 

So what do we have here? In a way it is simple to say that there is only One. In a way it is very hard to live in motion and become the One eventually. Becoming the One is only a matter of trust and effort and patience and not at all linear or logical or additive or deductive. Of course this is realized by the intellect itself and it has to take the leap beyond itself (trust) to acquire the property of the One. All things of motion are “dated” and do not add up to become God – the motion should be emptied of itself; of its limitations.

 

The point is that this is being said because these vibrations are what we perceive and need to work on. Probably for millions of lives we may not have been aware of this- engrossed that we are in fear. Now that the mind becomes aware, it has to work and work till trust blossoms and transforms into the One. Have faith. The quality of life is a function of awareness and not a function of material benefit or of space or time or motion. Awareness only is.

Shree: Why should it matter?

 

221222: Shree: Why should it matter?

 

Classifications are tending to be a pain in the neck - labeling, sorting, evaluating, dismissing, reinforcing and so on. Why should any experience be quickly defined under some category and acted on? Why not ruminate on it? It is a terrible thing to be tempted to freeze or define an experience, label it and act on the same immediately - sometimes so fast that one imagines the label even before any experience has occurred! Or the label defines the experience and chucks out possibilities of other thoughts to “emerge”. Are we in this age where we superimpose our own mindscapes or patterns onto the space-time fabric? Philosophically we do it all the time; else we would not have perceived existence. However the crucial difference between “higher” or “recommended” perception over “mundane” or “restrictive” perception is this: one experience emerges and does not define us and gives a very multidimensional, ambiguous, grey picture of existence (a potential of being), whereas the other hurries into bracketing the world into a fixed frame and does not let the mind see anything else!  Why should it matter if we do not know what a thought means and what it seems to generate within us? Why should it matter that the thought was not defined before? Why should it matter that things appear chaotic when they appear? Why should it matter that silence can be valued over and above noise? Why should it matter that things cannot be confirmed? Why should it matter that things cannot be worked out “as per plan?” Why should it matter that quality may take its own time as compared to quantity?

 

Think about it. I am not really sure that our ancestors were ever bothered about questions of critique that we seem to face today. Was “discussion” ever possible in pre modern times and if there was some collective discussion on the way of going about doing things, what were the central concerns that were continued or valued? How was the environment encountered? How did that shape the memory? And is that the reason that origins of any value cannot be traced and are always referred to either the ancestor or God? It would be another story to understand the evolution of perception from hominids to sapiens to homo sapiens to homo homo sapiens. Some of these memories we carry and propel us to perceive environments in the manner we do.

 

However, with more information and fragmentation at our disposal, we have become consumers of information and find it even harder to not let a thought be formed as anything.

 

Watch out!

 

Hari Om.

Shree: Circle

 

221222: Shree: Circle

everything counts as a matter of habit. we may think that a moment does not matter - but it is already harboring some habit. so there is no such thing as "blank" or a "suspended" mindscape - a continuous impression is getting created every instant defined by vibrations.

another name for "habit" is vibrations that create motion or forms. and these also mean a "circle" (as a geometrical idea of existence). anything of motion or of vibration or of objects or situations represents a circle - no start point, no end point, always changing, transforming and interdependent on all other systems and a self imposed boundary or constructs. our worries or evaluations or any aspect of perception represents motion or generates motion or a circle. our awareness and its increasing scope also represent circles. ego fundamentally is a circle, which is hard to break.

so this raises questions of the nature of thought, self and action and what are we perceiving and how. there is no such  thing as an individual entity  - there are only circles  - some smaller and faster and others larger and slower. therefore, we may think not to be concerned about others or our actions may not have any effects on others, but they do - whether one is aware of it or not. having said this, the circle also is not a matter of control.

therefore, the only way to raise the nature of awareness is to silence the mind, focus, make things good, and remember God.

Shree: beyond control

 

201222: Shree: beyond control

 

 I is beyond control. I cannot control any vibrations and the manifestations that happen therefore. By control, I mean that the start point, sequence, possibilities and end points are not known (or are beyond human comprehension). Something that cannot be known – has a limitless possibility and is intrinsically divine. I fear change and this fear generates from perception of change of forms or situations or relationships or the self. I vibrate in fear or I vibrate as fear. Perception is a state of awareness of existence that takes manifestations and the construct of self very real. There remains a boundary (self created), and the boundary is used as a basis of defense and evaluation and judgment. Almost everyone of us operate from fear (ego) and hence we take things seriously as if we did it or we should be doing this or that and what one said or did not say and where one ought to go and so on.

 

This self talk is from perception and the purpose of self talk is to defend the self or justify. Consciousness only is and steps down as vibrations, forces and forms into objects. The layers of defense or expectations keep increasing in each stepping down.

 

The point is that this is not something mumbo-jumbo. Perception or vibration is real – it has a dimension of space and time and also of “feelings”. Each of these dimensions is interlinked and constructed. Feelings do not exist in some vacuum and any of the feeling generates an equivalent state of being. In that way – any form is an expression of feelings or perhaps form follows feelings!

 

The important question is – why should good be done? I think the question is – why should this question be even asked?! Meaning there is no role or purpose of doing good – it should be a default way of existing. By default, it means absolute and the One. I am not an island. I am interconnected forever and I am the One.

 

Let things be. All is God’s will and all comes from Him and becomes Him. All moments, motions, tendencies, me, time and space are His.

Shree: One medium

 

191222: Shree: One medium

 

All is One medium of existence that manifests as vibrations and finally perceived as motion. Motion means interdependence, change, scales, space, time, constructs and perceptions, and thoughts and feelings. All is a construct – an imagination generated by vibrations leading to forces and then to forms and in each of this transformation or a state of existence – the role of ego changes. Ego maybe seen as distortion or distance from Godliness or pure unconditional bliss. More this distance, more is this distortion or vibration or sense of motion and more seems to be the rate of change or variables or objects or fragments one depends on for one’s happiness. Defining a variable is not an achievement - rather it points to fragmentation! All thoughts and feelings are a result of some vibration that keeps changing – there is no limit to an absolute start or an absolute sequence or where and how the journey goes. One thing of motion will also exclude everything else and also keep changing and will also appear as everything else if decided! It is as if saying that there is an I who sees a cat which excludes everything else and which could also convert itself into a mountain or a tree if I choose to let that happen!

 

So what are we saying here? It means that none of the objects are true or absolute in themselves (or are separate entities or remain constant). Any object has a property of the cosmos - since the source is the same and there is just One medium! Therefore, everything is Divine!

 

This needs realization. I am not the doer of anything or of situations or of expectations or anything else. I need not take any guilt or plan or defend or argue to justify anything. There is no “I” here to do all those things! There is no - other to compare or to judge or to compete. Everything is in me and vice versa so why fear? The perception depends on the state of vibration that gets created. I am created from that state and I am temporary – there is no real existence to perception – it is only a construct.

 

So why condition one’s self and cringe? Why not love and be free? All is by God and all is only God!

 

Things happen when they have to and all is by God. Things take shape or a form, change, materializes, transform by God’s will. This “I” is only some medium to perceive these manifestations. Accept all past, present, future situations and whatever they are and however they turn up and whatever pace takes place. All is by God. Even me that will keep changing.

 

Hari Om.

Shree: vibration

 

141222: Shree: vibration

 

If one inquires into the issue of a “problem”, then it should take one to the source – how, where and why does it originate? The answer to this, I feel, is in the creation of vibrations (as a property of consciousness) and the construct of ego therefore (as just one of the things of manifestation). One can also view vibrations as potential or creative force and also something that keeps changing, evolving, remains interdependent and gives a feeling of incompleteness (for us). This creates perception for us and perception means “conditions” for existence – that would translate to thoughts, feelings, body, relationships, situations, cultures, environment, climate and space-time…everywhere this is what it is. By changing the scale of phenomenon and the medium of expression, the same vibration manifests (or is perceived) either as the self or as climate or as person or as an object or anything else. So one perceives”many” although the phenomenon is one and the same. The source and the trigger of “everything” is the One that manifests in many forms, in many scales, in many spaces and in many times.

 

By being engaged in these conditions, one assumes that unless things are “resolvedeverywhere, one cannot become peaceful. Herein is the connection if you haven’t realized – the blissfulness of one depends on many and this means interconnections and also means the One medium apparently seen as many. Why else should this condition arise, if it is to be a fundamental property of existence?

 

The next question will be – if this is the case, how can things be resolved? The question stems from assuming that the construct of ego is a default phenomenon (or all motions and conditions). Or creation is a default property. I don’t know. Let us admit this – that we do not know things or existence as they are. Slowly we may realize that satisfying vibrations in plenty is not the answer. Neither is fulfilling any of the conditions of motion. Neither is fragmentation or response to many. Neither is any definite purpose born from motion. We ourselves seem to have created this perpetual cycle of incompleteness (as a phenomenon of motion)and this means that conditions, dependence, change, thoughts, feelings, forms, vibrations will remain for eternity unless some way is realized to silence this cycle.

 

This means to become aware of the presence of consciousness behind me, or you or anything and to reach there, one has to become subtle enough to perceive forces, then vibrations and finally consciousness. The object and anything behind it is an illusion (not absolute) – what is the only reality is consciousness. But one has to realize this.

 

In our day to day situations, what does this mean? It means situations are what they are – beyond a start or an end point that we may ever know. And hence conditions for living blissfully ought not to be dependent on anything that is getting perceived. Do whatever you should, let things be as they are, let change be as it is, let the pace be as it should be – remain blissful. In fact, to go beyond the conditions is the sole purpose of existence.

 

Hari Om.

 

 

Shree: Not a formula!

 

Shree: Not a formula!

 

Existence means consciousness and different states of being – up to the manifestation of forms. A form is a visible entity that gets perceived by vibrations + forces and that makes it appear changing, interdependent - all imaginary. The feeling of “I” along with a body is a result of this phenomenon. And this feeling also creates the entire world of perception – experiences and hence none of the experiences occurring can be said as null or void or ridiculous.

 

That being the case, however, experiences are not the end in themselves or something that keep defining us. What defines us? Nothing. Or the only thing that is a reality is something that does not change and is beyond any time or space or form or vibration – hence said as “consciousness”.

 

Thus, any change is a kind of vibration and is an illusion and creates a separation of subject and object. This is all a mind game, which we are currently not aware of this play – hence treat it as very real.

 

The fact to be learnt is anything can be made “real” by existence (mind being a part of existence). The mind is required to be nourished to take it back to its original blissful state of existence. Taking the name of God is said to work in that favor.

 

But the name of God is not a formula from which things are required to be expected or transformed – it defeats the purpose of taking the name! The name of God is only being aware of His presence. What that does to us in which manner and where and when and how is to be trusted to God. Another name for this action is – surrendering the ego to existence.

 

Even to think of the result is to doubt the strength of the Name of God. Yet for most of us, this does not come naturally and self efforts are required (ego consciously working to dissolving itself!).

 

I do not know how this works and since it cannot be known, it has to be trusted! Is that weird?

 

Hari Om.

Shree: Presence

 

131222: Shree: Presence

 

How do we keep going? Who gives strength? How do we exist? We exist indefinitely as consciousness. From consciousness all vibrations, forces and forms emerge, change, become interdependent or conditional and dissolve.

 

In our day to day living, we do not know completely how and why certain things occur or appear in our perceptions or consciousness and we are required to respond. We think a lot for responding since we fear the fruits of actions which are not in our control. The fear arises on account of our expectations or construct of ego or identification with the changing forms and our compulsion to control them. And we continue to generate this cycle of engagement – leading to rounds of births and deaths. We are not aware of the start point or the middle or the end – nothing seems to be in our hands and we keep going in circles.

 

The progress expected is of awareness of presence of absolute consciousness. This would mean many things of vibrations, thoughts, forces and forms. All is by God and this sentence is required to be realized in our core. This means that ego or separation should vanish. The trigger for vibrations should vanish and one should exist as consciousness only.

 

No matter what the events in one’s life, it is God’s will which works. God is the sole creator of the universe including all motions, situations, events, perceptions, forces, forms, changes and so on. How things materialize and take place is only by God’s doing (and grace) and hence our only duty is to be aware of this connection of God with motion. It is God’s will we are here and we continue to learn something and experience a range of issues. All things change – tendencies and vibrations remain eternal and hence even if bodies change, situations remain the same.

 

To give a contemporary example, mobile as an object alters our consciousness in layers of thoughts and vibrations (so as any other object’s presence). Even if tomorrow the mobile is taken by someone, I still am aware of its presence since I am thinking about managing time, reminders, answers, commitments, and so on. For many says when I am not required to respond in a way the mobile makes me do (meaning taking things at my own pace, being slow, not getting reminded to do anything), the presence of mobile goes away from my thinking.

 

This means that existence of any phenomenon is dependent on how I remain engaged with it (through vibrations, thoughts and objects). All motion ceases if I become the One. All of motion does not affect me, if I become unconditional and recognize only God’s presence.

Shree: Vibration/ awareness/ existence

 

111222: Shree: Vibration/ awareness/ existence

 

Existence is. And this realization comes from practice or trust or a combination thereof and any tendency of motion - dilemma to contradiction to fear.

 

I think the first step is to accept whatever we have or have become as a state of motion - as a human being who seems incomplete, changing, dependent, conditional and who perceives his/her existence. There is no reason to question why motion should exist or why any of the tendencies should exist. Existence is there and hence billion potentials of becoming or manifesting are present. Consciousness is “alive” and hence every potential that manifests is a new one (in force and form) but coming from the same source.

 

For things in motion, such as “us”, we need to discover this phenomenon. In order to do this, one is required to become unconditional and generate action out of pure universal love. Love is not directed at something or someone or some place or some time – love is to become as a state of existence. By the same logic, space and time in any “form” (body or thought or vibrations) are manifested by vibrations or tendencies, which are already there. Vibrations and tendencies are conditional and change and remain dependent – hence that is the property with which we exist and perceive and see space and time! In other words, space and time may not be default – they may be imagined forms out of our own vibrations!

 

The effort then is to convert all vibrations into a steady state of existence that we call God. What is God? It is a state of existence or a state of vibration that does not move or change or condition itself. Having converted oneself into that vibration, one has become the One.

 

Hari Om.

Shree: The role of feelings

 

Shree: The role of feelings

 

I do not need to know the past or future to do something out of love at the given moment! This is the strength of love – that it can be perfectly unconditional, non linear and empathetic and all connecting. Knowing the variables of connections of change and of past and future do not generate love automatically or even logically or even consequently! Living a perfect life is not equivalent in loving the self and others!

 

Love is fundamental. In architecture for me, it means what should I do while designing an environment that can generate this feeling? The approach comes to designing a movement, sequence, being aware of the “presence” of everything around you and becoming calm within space-time matrix. This means I should start anywhere and do whatever it takes to get that feeling – forms of manifestation (or styles of any kind) are immaterial. In design studios, can’t one therefore perceive forms in this manner instead of comparing and adhering to what looks “acceptable”? The feeling of love is more fundamental than what is built or seen or said or acted upon. The feeling is perceiving a state of existence.

 

Lot of talk and progress of theory and practice and day to day living seem to go in opposition to what is fundamental! What use is of theory or practice if it fails to generate love?

 

Order, discipline, systems have also driven societies to deadly uniformity and sterility and uneasiness and anonymity and numbness or placelessness. Ordering of feelings and keeping them under some compartments is more horrible. By compartmentalizing feelings, one compartmentalizes moments of existence and even avoids certain experiences or situations or people that would have otherwise healed you along the way! Why does one do this?

 

This is an intimate inquiry. And this is done as a response of ego. Defending oneself against change is one of ego’s top priorities. By structuring things and variables, it emphasizes refinement, fastness, permanence, control and so on. It emphasizes permanence and something that is predictable and easy to control. It is opposite of “life”!

 

Certain conditions – such as young ones or elder’s health are beyond ego’s control. None of the fields of inquiry are able to deal with situations – what is required is acceptance and understanding of existence with love. If one has this awareness, then one becomes blissful. Herein too, one is assuming something in the spectrum of perception of control and anything that lies beyond (say past lives or inner world) as something beyond control and even not worth pondering! If one does not perceive “something”, that does not mean “it” doesn’t exist! And the only way to acknowledge the presence of this “something” is to trust it without any parameters of perception. And by this, we learn to trust everything. Hence trust becomes more important than perception.

 

Hari Om.

Shree: Meanings

 

101222: Shree: Meanings

 

In what way God is realized cannot be predicted at all, irrespective of the increasing awareness one may get by becoming more and more introverted and knowing the nuances of perception from body or form to forces to vibrations. It may be a matter of practice or a sudden flash of realization from daily tasks or from some point of existence or a combination of all known and unknown factors. The Unknown is to be trusted  - in perception; in the manner in which things occur or are perceived; in the manner of which actions result what kind of fruits; in the manner in which things work out beyond what we can perceive. All is “alive”; all is “existence” and hence one may have a moment or a movement or a cycle or linearity or a dilemma or transcendence.

 

Existence only is. Who am I to comment on authenticity of motion and what effects it has on us? Everything is relative and there is no such thing in motion that exists by itself or in isolation or is steady or is eternal. If I am thinking of a point, then the reality of point is dependent or defined by all other factors that are interdependent and which change. This “thinking” that takes place -  is in consciousness.

 

An example of change is found in Rome – from times of crest to trough when the city was abandoned during a period of 1000 years with ruins and other areas left to wilderness. It suggests many things –the glory of anything does not last long (this means that glory is comparative and shifts to some other centre). People do not care about Rome’s epic times (since they care more for something else happening at that time) and after a millennium years, Rome is so called “discovered” by Christians and they come to stay in villas and pruned landscape and have a nostalgic feeling of the “great past” (when it was hated during the times of establishment of Christian Empire around 300 ADE). This may also mean that spaces get layered with meanings in continuity (complexity) or with erasures and superimpositions of different meanings. If seen from historical perspective of place, then we have a linear superimposition of meanings of cultures, places, beliefs and so on and it may also indicate erasure and juxtaposition of different meanings by different cultures. Either way – a meaning is a trigger for manifestation of built forms or habitats.

 

We all work within the scope of meanings. Something meaningless does not exist for us. Or meaninglessness of a given space and time (past/ present/future) comes in comparison to meanings defined in some other space and time. There is a dynamics of past, present and future for a given moment and it would be understood that the past is always changing with meanings and so is the future and none of it is ‘false’. In that sense, nothing becomes dead – except for a change of meanings!

 

Philosophically, there is meaning to motion only because there is consciousness or an existence of non motion absolute nature. In case one becomes consciousness, then all motion will become meaningless (or only be felt as a potential).

 

Another take on the whole thing of existence is – everything is an intent – either existing as thought or feeling or body or action – it is only an intent, since we are only perceiving. Intent stops when the absolute One is realized.

Shree: i do not know anything

 

120922: Shree: i do not know anything

many thoughts -

God only is - as Existence. existence always is. i am only a construct; motion is only a construct; relationship is only a construct; feelings are constructs; analysis is a construct and all we perceive (who and what) is a construct. space and time is a construct; change is a construct.

existence is first and then our way of becoming a human form and perceiving existence. thus motion happens by God - and that means all causes, effects, tendencies, vibrations, thoughts, evolution and so on. we have our changing gaze only to a certain limit and that is what we make our identities. well, that is the way things are to us but it need not be absolute. it may be a start but certainly not the end and certainly not the ultimate truth.

this means that search for a start point and sequences that lead to the present and the future need not define "us" (in terms of human birth; tendencies; character; events in life; situations; guilt; feelings; mishaps; role of parents; other people themselves; changes; our responses; current pace; problems; solutions; perceptions; vibrations and what all this means to 'me'). when i say all these things it means that our existence and the notion of the same involves so many other factors and this also means about change and comparative identity or interconnections.

i do not own anything and do not have anything that i can say i control. in fact the idea of 'i'  itself is not constant and comes and goes - so what am i claiming anything? this is the basic nature of motion and whatever it generates.

consciousness only is - and it gives rise to motion and with it all forces and forms that seem to appear different.

i only share what seem to be perceived; i only discuss; i only say or do what seems right - where it leads i do not know and all is by God so what happens is by Him only. why certain things seem important; why certain things bind me; why certain things generate fear or hope - all is God's doing. so accept it - along with all tendencies i have and all momentums that exist at present. all is from Him.

the tendency to act immediately is a sign of disconnect - one is not sure of the results one expects; so one becomes self obsessed (or more anxious or stressed) and that creates noise and production. one wants control and this craze of control makes one act as soon as possible - more the craze; more is the noise. watch out!
