Mauli: Before motion

 

310123: Mauli: Before motion

what is the intent of creation and perception? as realization we are never separate and our identity is relational to everything else  - signifying an expansive potential of the mind to concentrate , empathize and finally become One. this is the power/ role/ potential of imagination (or vibration) and when we talk of us; we are indicating presence of consciousness. in order that we become this intent, virtues of wholesomeness, slowness, empathy, relative existence, acceptance need to be practiced at all scales and times (becoming unconditional).

architecturally that roughly translates into recognizing values inside us; defining intents to express those values; creating experiences from those values; devising methods from forms and spaces; giving importance to movement of mind, body and climate; tools of expression from narrative sketches + movement diagrams + idea diagrams + formal architectonics diagrams. a diagram "expresses" intentions and experiences and hence is more than just elements of architecture. i would say that all cultures or societies or attitudes which reflect above intents are great - and they are found across time scales and regions of earth.

the opposite of this is fragmentation, compartmentalization, faster changes, multi tasking, distortions, loudness, aggression, heightened sense of individual identity, disorientation, non anchored feelings, disconnections, isolations, disruptions, erasures, destructions, self harm, complexity, verbosity, defensiveness - all is an expression of fear and separation. if the mindscape is so, that is what gets created architecturally too.

therefore architecture (or experience encoded as mind and body) happens in imagination even before it comes "out there" on physical space and time. what is the generator of space and time? vibrations. what is the source of vibrations? consciousness.

 

this also means that visibility or something that is perceivable or tangible is gross - changes faster, is more dependent and more temporary and is not the truth as it is dependent. what comes before "visual expression" is more subtle and slow to change and perhaps more expansive - is that sound or smell? what comes even before sound? is it vibrations? what comes before vibrations? is it consciousness? so you see, we go from tangible gross medium to the intangible subtle medium of non change and eternal and absolute existence called "One". all that "we" see as life is coming from One invisible Source. in the visibility of life, intellect and feelings keep changing. if the above analysis is applied at the level of feelings then which is that feeling which comes prior to everything we feel? It is love or bliss - unconditional and beyond manifestations of space and time and is eternal.

therefore we have an equation which states that One = eternal = absolute potential = boundless love = bliss. hence it is important to become Pure Love and expansive in spirit. situations do not come in the way of this - love can be practiced or one can become Pure Love by living in any situation.

Hari Om.

 

Mauli: Momentum

 

300123: Mauli: Momentum

there is no need to say anything - pain or pleasure or bliss or compulsions. the more one says, the more one differentiates and opens a chapter on discussion and debate. what is the intent of doing anything? it is to transcend and connect with all. i do things so i dissolve and know that everything is in me and i am everywhere. not all things are required  to be said or justified and anyway why should the other be constructed? not all things can be tangible or made visible or evaluated or judged or responded but that does not mean those do not exist or inform our perceptions. not all things ought to materialize as per expectations. not all things evolve as per expectations. not all things go when we may become ready.

deciding anything is sending a signal to the cosmos - whatever one decides. from this aspect, compartmentalization, individualism does not work since it creates doubt, control, mistrust, aggression, aloofness, isolation, craze for harbouring, insecurity, disrespect and so on. one vibration of individualism has created a host of other feelings in us and society as well! the mind gets trapped in a loop or consumed by other irrelevant things that the idea of connecting with cosmos is thoroughly ignored or does not even surface!

thus concentration means to create an appropriate vibration that reflects as only the same thing - love. it gets translated in space, time, response, relationship, focus, discussion, values, nourishment, case and so on.

whatever stand i take or think or become - it is reflected in  the entire medium of consciousness and comes back on me in ways that may appear different but is essentially and echo of what i started with. this is momentum of actions and one has to accept this momentum and work on it (or work on the imagination).

unless this is done, the cycle of birth and death is repeated endlessly and is really not required, since that is not what one is as existence!

Hari Om.

 

 

 

Mauli

 

260123: Mauli

nowadays there are so many things that define or make bliss conditional - self to vibrations to time to space to people to relationships to weather to career to growth to survival to parents to wife to many other things. all tussle is ok - is part of living or existing as a human being. the answer for satisfaction may not lie in running in desperation or in past or in values or in ideas or in future or in motion that means change, dependence and so on. fact is nothing is "dead" since all is a dimension of existence and there is no place  - even in imagination that is outside the presence of consciousness! every moment is about remembrance and of becoming - a set of vibrations (either as conditions or as unconditional existence). presently it is all ok to perceive differences and try to control causes and we need to outgrow this behaviour.

past is past - a construct. present is a construct and so is a future - all that depend on perception born from being  in motion. pressures of space and time are self made or defined by self and things are eternal in themselves. as a potential of existence - there is creation of motion as sequence, interlinkages, changes, multiplicity, effects and so on. in all this, perception by being in a particular position changes or vice versa. so we express the Will of God although we may have learn this lesson for a long time.

therefore, stop blaming or stop being guilty or stop offering justification or stop worrying or stop answering or stop being greedy or stop hoarding or stop being pushy or stop claiming anything. thoughts are not mine nor is my body or my mind or constructs. thoughts come and go and they affect us perhaps. saying the name of God will at least remind us about what is necessary to be done and in what intent. it is about appropriate living.

architecture is about movement made visible of body, mind, climate (perhaps in that increasing order) - and therefore the idea of self as consciousness. intent is about consciousness which means focus and bliss. from this are made tangible movements, relations and material form. the whole of architecture and its elements can rise to the potential of making the experience of consciousness tangible. God only is and He requires no condition for creation or being blissful. From absolute, Infinite, blissful One we have creation.

Hari Om.

Shree: Relationship

 

250123: Shree: Relationship

 

Relationship. This is the key word in living – that one is never alone and the expression of this is “movement” of space and time and mind and body. I am everywhere and I am connected to “all” since there is no separation. The tree is linked to me as I am to the Sun is linked to the wind which is also linked to the water and so on. The fundamental ingredient in all is consciousness that is beyond movement and the cause of all motion. But as we are in motion, we need to use it as a “tool” to transcend. This constitutes a decision on our part as a human being’s perception. Either the tool exaggerates separation into discrete and ever changing objects or it is used to transcend everything. And here lies the basis of memory as a tool- either to differentiate or to transcend – so motion is not remembered but only consciousness is. In remembering, we “become” or in becoming we continue to “remember”.

 

What would you like to remember? Consciousness or motion?

 

Hari Om.

Shree: Bliss

 

240123: Shree: Bliss

 

We do not fully understand the intent of how things become perceivable and how our actions result into something of a situation. Trying to control such connections causes fear and stress and pain. Understanding intent of motion (or a situation or a context or a person) is difficult and depends on our own intent and hence it remains temporary, changes and may be distorted. That goes for everything about manifestation.

 

By over thinking, no matter how honest we may be, we perhaps spoil the simplicity of existence and create doubt. Who gets harmed? Us, of course.

In what manner people say things and what they mean and what it means to you is very relative and not straight forward clear cut logic. There may be several layers of intents or sequences that make people say, think or do things in particular manner and there are again several layers of intents through which we perceive something that happens before us. All these layers are not perceivable to us many times and hence the entire cause of something cannot be known. Now is that a problem?! By basing our inferences on logic or tangible things, we make a mistake to remain conditional and create self harm, since our perception has limitations of comprehending the whole. Now the question is why should we force ourselves to know the whole? Is it to control, is it about peace, is it about permanence, and is it about avoiding pain? So there seems to be a condition to evaluate a situation and resist whatever otherwise a situation is presenting itself as.

 

Another mistake we commit is to consider ourselves separated as some special being. Self is never separated and is always relational to something else. In other words, all is interconnected and represents only the One medium that causes motion to take place and hence some causes and effects and the urge to respond and we want to fix things! There is always something before and after anything – meaning there is a varying identity to anything. Thus we have a fundamental choice here. What should be the nature of our actions? Who acts? What is the cause? What therefore becomes of space and time?

 

Architecturally, for whom do we conceive spaces – for entire environment or only for us? And am I really separated from environment? If this question is taken deeply within us, then it would reveal some sort of relation of intent with thoughts with feelings with actions with activities with spaces. So what is the frame of reference for architecture? And this will define quality of architecture (not the visible technology or process or global warming or materials or production or optimization or anything). This therefore gets expressed in forms of architecture from indigenous to rural to urban and so on. The noble intent requires no context to materialize – it can get expressed under any context (or it can define the context itself!). Temple architecture, for example seems to have a form that has perhaps little to do with site context or any particular conditions of site. Symmetries of any kind or axes also seem to take a stand not defined on any particular visible site forces. Should it be so? Do not the forms of temples indicate a collective value or a mindscape that gets expressed on a stage of the visible site? Does not the enclosed courtyard found in any climate and culture indicates something profound regardless of any cultural and geographical definitions? Does not this response indicate a force that finds expression onto something outside?

 

Space and time compel us to do many things – an unstoppable pressure to remain engaged. If only we can learn to relax and do what we like to do regardless of any outcome, the pressure may ease off. There is no need to assume and worry about anything. Things happen when they have to, they appear and go away and we are where we are. Things are said, they are perceived and they are responded.  Things are never personal, vibrations are never personal, manifestation is never personal and responses are never personal. This requires realization. There is no such thing as knowing everything for a perfect control. All is about only pure instantaneous living.

 

Not knowing anything tangible and yet being blissful is a gift to become. It is a lesson that is to be learnt – blissful existence has nothing to do with doing anything purposefully! How fast, how slow, where, when, why, what are required to be immaterial questions. However we must start asking these questions so we can eventually move beyond.

 

Hari Om.

 

 

Shree: thoughts and their meaning

 

130123: Shree: thoughts and their meaning

thoughts come only when there is motion or perception caused by tendencies of existence - vibrations. so a "thought" is a construct induced by a state of existence - which is generally said as separation from the One medium of consciousness.

at a day to day level, there is no use in hurrying and being anxious on anything - all things have a proper time to come and go and happen without our interference. all things are impersonal and do not depend on our responsibility or guilt or correction or fixated nature. the important thing is about "memory" - what does one "remember" or create as vibration? if i am confused then that is what i create - confusion. if i am humble and grounded then that is what i create through situations of thoughts, feelings and actions. thus it is not the form or situation that is created or is real, but our vibrations that construct a reality of situations and how it gets perceived in turn.

vibrations, feelings, patterns are internal without a need to manifest outside and hence as one goes "inside the self" more is the nature of existence that is revealed. the reality of outside forms is a construct that is validated only from internal vibrations. and this is the manner in which consciousness expresses itself in tangible terms or we communicate with God.

thus our efforts to control anything external has limited results. actual transformation should happen internally by reviewing vibrations or observing them or witnessing them and they are not what is consciousness.

by disengaging with vibrations, consciousness is revealed.

Hari Om.

Shree: Experience

 

120123: Shree: Experience

After thinking and reading stuff for a length of time, i wish to believe (simultaneously with everything that inner world makes perception possible) that we are involved with a phenomenon of "perception" and represent a state of existence.

at a very immediate level it means forms, forces, change, interdependence and the feeling of self (mind and body). the feeling of change and dependence will last as long as i exist as motion - philosophical journey may make us realize inner world of forces and vibrations and finally revealing consciousness - but it is yet a tall order for us. in this way, everything from outside perception to inner perception to change and to non motion is all interconnected. and it is also for this reason that something gets written here and shared and printed in black and white and something will continue to be written even in the future. the medium of One expresses itself in many ways and makes motion tangible for us to perceive.

this also means that there are countless number of experiences by which perception happens and all are valid forms of expressions. all forces exist, all bondages exist, all pain exists, all pleasures exist, all conditions exist and the journey to non motion also is a very real requirement.

this has to be accepted with empathy without any judgment or evaluation. why should something of motion be evaluated or judged since all is from Divine presence - meaning things are eternal and they do not have any start or end point - it is only vibration.

this also means that just as we see the object of sun or a tree or a river or a bird or anything else, this act of seeing and thinking and relating to something and deciding - is an act of internalization of existence and is also real and needs to be acknowledged. the sun would not have existed if perception did not occur. anything would not have existed if the mind did not exist. but when no motion exists, there still remains consciousness that is always there.

i do not quite understand why people complain and evaluate any feeling of happiness or pain that another one perceives. to think, feel and act is fundamental and in what manner perception occurs is nobody's business to justify or even dictate.

having said so, phenomenology is a beautiful science of acknowledging every experience a person feels or occurs in his/her mind. an object may be superficial or immediate but the experience it can trigger can be phenomenal.

one may still argue what is the use of knowing this depth of experience if it cannot lead to any action of immediate effect? this props a question if all experiences are only meant to be acted on with immediate effect or can experiences have a place for contemplation, day dreaming, poetry, unconditional expression, suspension of pressures of time and so on? do these mentioned experiences become "a waste of time"?! And then the perennial inquiry is - what is time and space?

Hari Om.

Shree: Start Point

 

110123: Shree: Start Point

 

Things appear and change as motion and motion after all means state of perception - many, changeable, interdependent and so on. We have come from motion and become so – impressions carried on for many lives despite changes in forces and forms (bodies). One tendency we have or express as motion is to find the start point for any phenomenon. Who started, where, when, how and why? That situation or an object or a relationship we want to fix or name as a trigger for everything else that follows. And we do not stop unless that ‘start point’ on which everything else depends (according to us) is found. Thus we search for some visibility of phenomenon that we can control. But we may not know or realize that the object or situation that we call as a start point is not the start anyway – that too has come from many cycles of motion – we do not also know the true nature of that situation beyond a certain visible point – and whatever we know may be just one perspective from many other billion perspectives – so what is to be changed anyway?!  So should things be fixed and what are things anyway and what have I to do with those things? Fundamental inquiry.

 

This can be applied to any situation or a  person or self or situation or anything else – why did the person act in that way; why did he behave in that manner, what was the intent behind the actions, what is in store for me and so on…..it is unending. Why am I the way I am?

 

Any situation is eternally there and changing - it does not depend on what I have to think or what steps I take and what I feel. And situation and I are not different. Thoughts also do not need to be fixed or cured or anything – they are from this world of motion. All motion is from tendencies universally present that make the forces and forms and also make us and these are the same forces through which we perceive and connect with the universe of motion - we catch those signals or generate those signals leading to perception of many – it is all a construct.

 

Thus the One Divine Source creates all and hence motion is of change and not permanence or having any start points. By realizing this, the search for the start stops as the ego dissolves and the One is revealed. To become the One means to dilute the thoughts and not create them. This is the way we communicate with one another and become God by generating those vibrations.

 

Phenomenology is internalizing existence and realizing the link of consciousness to motion to environment to culture to history to community to self to art to architecture to livelihood to skills and so on. Realization happens not to fix things or control them but it just happens.

 

The language of God is through vibrations made still. This can happen if we engage ourselves doing that thing where we forget our mind and body and feel blessed. This is our calling from God and we can do it lifelong. This is what we are and this is what we ought to be engaged with. We maybe anything and all efforts may result into something beyond our thoughts or expectations – these are required to be accepted.

 

It has always been the One.

 

Hari Om.

Shree: construct

 

Shree: construct

one takes a position and position is always relative, conditional, depends on the focusing of thoughts or response to vibrations, and is a construct. i like to believe that all is a construct - not an illusion. construction or imagination and creation into forces and forms is the property of existence that creates "many" or motion. this is the way things are. in this manner we come and go and whenever that takes place, we perceive a changing scenario of motion that also seems to affect us and we affect the situation in turn. so all is a sort of a construct - cannot be said as real or unreal - but that is the way it is.

the construct causes inner turmoil. if one has to transcend this, then the vibrations are required to become still and transformed into the One. this is a human choice we have.

Hari Om.

Shree: Empathy

 

070223: Shree: Empathy

 

Empathy or any kind of vibration results into forms or perception. The nature of perception is fundamental and not the objects one perceives, since they change, remain dependent and are temporary (a construct). Certain perceptions are better than others since certain perceptions do not change, are unconditional and beyond space and time. Love or bliss or empathy is this perception and is of the One.

 

To become the One or realizing the One means to become Love or Empathy. This state of existence does not require vibrations or forces or forms to manifest - hence are the Absolute Truth. It can however take forms of motion and make themselves “visible” and “perceivable” and in this journey of perception; their absolute character undergoes a change and becomes gross + dependent + temporary.

 

Motion may be said to be a journey of separation or a construct where tendencies seem to exist and result in a changing scenario of situations, relationships, objects – the forms we see or become come from motion or tendencies or vibrations deep down within us. These vibrations need to be nurtured to become still or become purest of Love beyond any motion.

 

This is our learning for life.

 

Hari Om.

060123: Shree

where does fear originate? fear means a feeling of change, dependence and fluidity and temporariness. vibrations. these lead to situations or thoughts or forms or "motion". it has always been one medium seen as "many" from the angle of perception.

it makes no sense to consider motion as a reality and the effects it creates for us. running, fast, slowing, binaries and any defense or evaluation is just incidental - an aspect of motion that we call as ego. the role of intellect is to discipline perception to make oneself "still" and realize Divinity of the self. herein lies remembrance of the true nature of consciousness as existence and the efforts undertaken to become the Source or realize this absolute reality. in this comes the role of planning, simplifying things, feelings, empathy, nature, climate, silence, slowness, mental constructs, inquiries and actions to focus onto this realization.

as perception of motion, things or situations or objects or self will change and hence change is not the determinant of analysis or inference or judgment. anything that is conditional and that depends on motion will eventually change and the learning is to see the stillness amidst the change.

intellectual analysis does not lead to consciousness (as a build up or as a summation or as a position or as a dismissal). it is only an understanding of interdependence of various variables and the nature of the mind that creates variables too. we still need to let go off everything and accept everything that gets perceived - as existence, i am incomplete, changing and have no answers to security constructs of any kind. i am not responsible for things to happen in a particular way and neither am i guilty of things becoming something that were not imagined. there is no i here since it is only an illusion - that i do this or do that. i may crave for completeness and go on reading, writing, doing and so on. nothing fills the void of incompleteness except for the realization of the One. incompleteness is a feeling extremely deep down that is the cause of motion and all thoughts that get created. let the thought "come and go" and realize that "i" am NOT the thought. So focus only on becoming the One.

Hari Om.

Shree: Existence

 

Shree: Existence

Existence is what we have come from. Existence, unconditional love, non movement, absoluteness, One mean the same - it is the greatest capacity of the mind to exist so, since that is the only truth. What we see is a situation of motion that means vibrations leading to forces and forms - all interconnected with everything else and even us. It is only One medium apparently only perceived as "many". so perception is a state of existence. The object that i see is a result of a state of being that believes in separate identity. It is a creation of a particular state of the mind and from this aspect, mind and motion mean one and the same. Since there is a mind, there is a form of universe. If object seems to be a reality, so will all previous steps that have led to objects - which mean forces and vibrations - all are real. To know this, the mind has to turn inwards and not get carried outwards by the senses. Only when concentration can role inside that all energy of force and vibration is seen inside of us and dissolved to take us to the foundation of the Source - consciousness. This inside journey has got nothing to do with outside conditions.

Another way of looking at the whole thing is from the point of view of empathy, love and comprehensive understanding of existence. i am as much present in the past as i am in the future as i am in the present as i am in any part of motion and anything and everything is 'me' or informs perception. It is a mistake to believe that i can remain disconnected from everything, since the assumption itself goes against the reality of the nature of existence or vibrations. therefore, to know the past or the future is to know the present and no present ever exists without its connections with the past or the future.

The present systems make an error in assuming that faster and multitasking can make life better or prosperous but end up actually disconnecting us from ourselves and causing more harm. In this fast pace of imagination, there is no place for memory (or comprehensive awareness) and the best anchor that anyone can experience is to become still in the mind - which actually means expansion of awareness to include all.

Give time to yourself, to people, to culture, to skills, to hobbies, to environment, to other life forms - it will be an enriching experience. Of course along the way, there will be pain but the underlying feelings behind everything are just the same - love and empathy.

Hari Om.

Shree: Trust

 

010123: Shree: Trust

 

Movement in any direction needs to reveal God. Movement means vibrations – interconnected, expansive, forces and vibrations. Thus all material objects such as money or relationships are triggers to take you to the Source. They are anything from linear to upwards to cyclic to spiral or curves or combinations thereof. They need to be seen in that way. In other words, God has given us exactly those situations that help us evolve. He is the controller, so He knows best. Trust Him. A situation is always in motion – at any given point of time something seems ok, other thing not so pleasing, you may experience love in some manner somewhere and some pain is in store for you in some other way – all is His teaching to you so that you become unconditional about any change and make the mind steady and perceive Him! You may also see the obvious but not the real underlying tendencies or vibrations – so be patient. You may think that “many” should be balanced, but it is only You all the way! Actions from vibrations are not meant to be conditional – they are meant to remember and become God.

 

This also means that He knows which thoughts need to form and go in our minds and what should be the nature of the mind – trust Him. By trusting Him, we learn to trust everything that the mind creates, since mind is an expression of His potential. This means that be blissful and unconditional in any situation and do not worry or ask why and how and where and when or question the motion or past or present or future. If things have to happen, they will; whatever is due for me will be given by God; whatever should not be given is His decision since I may not be ready to learn the lesson.

 

What happens right now and in the next instant is completely by His presence and His intent. So whatever situation I may perceive and respond, it is His message for me to have it experienced in that manner. All is always His action. It is His idea to make me perceive change and “many” so I see and learn to be unconditional and see Him.

 

Fear leads to objects or motion. At a basic level, fear is vibration. He has given us. It should be transcended is what He wants us to do. He has given us the capacity to do so – so trust Him. Trust Him for everything and everything that befalls eventually. He knows the best. Trust without doubt or sequence or plan. Trust for no reason. Trust out of pure love and beyond space and time. Trust beyond any vibrations.

 

Hari Om.
