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.
