Shree: On Architecture

 

Shree: On Architecture

If one focuses on mere architectonic space then one has already “fallen” from rich reservoirs of Inspiration. A form is meaningless if it does not stem from deeper experiences of existence – that which encompass the senses, time, scales, communities, environment and so on.  This may or may not be easy as a formula – perhaps a struggle is inevitable but the struggle is what is required to anchor oneself to creation – something coming out  from the individual but has an imprint of the collective One. Accordingly, an appropriate “experience” is shaped or crafted and architecture becomes only an incidental stage to express or contain or give a form to such an internal experience.  In this way, an approach to creation becomes a concept and is not a frivolous play of an individualized or atomized mind. If I only experience space without becoming aware of architectural elements that make the experience, then architecture has become divine. If the attention is anchored only on architectural attributes, then there exists no depth to the experience so crafted.

Is this an individual act or a collective one? It can be either as long as above mental process has taken place. What we mean is that it hardly matters who is doing it – is it one person or a community, since philosophically an individual can transcend self made barriers and can sense the transcendental dimension.

The purpose of architecture should be able for the creator and the user to touch upon the above mentioned divine dimensions in the act of doing and engaging; else for what reason would architecture exist if not for ascertaining the presence of spiritual dimension? The tangible or the concrete has the trigger of the intangible – let us remind ourselves so.

Shree: Take Heart!

 

280223: Shree: Take Heart!

avoidance is a state of mind. it cannot be an absolute long term answer of Existence. the basis of this response lies with our belief in identifying ourselves having a mind and body (generating from vibrations). Who creates these vibrations and this belief? It is of course God or consciousness. in this creation, we are created and we perceive and we then see movement of forms - coming and  going and change and interdependence and a host of other feelings we create. it is obvious that no object exists unless we exist and it should also be noted that "seeing" or "perceiving" is NOT a prerequisite for Existence or Bliss. herein lies the generation of "fear" - that we expect things to become static (which obviously will not since the nature of motion is to change) and we fear that we will "die".

in case this sentence requires clarification, then please understand that nothing dies - it only "moves" or transforms in different states. in a given perceivable spectrum, we can "see" or sense things coming and going and base our assumptions of start and end points on what we perceive. beyond this, the movement is not felt by our mind. this means that the "mind" has a property and it can only create or perceive whatever property it has acquired!

this means that the property of mind can change into absolute Existence, where the relative and limited mind dissolves finally. once the mind dissolves, I become the One.

therefore currently the mind and whatever is perceived subsequently by myself is a "construct". this term is to be seen neutrally - as a matter of existence - incidental and a property of consciousness. the construct in no way means what ought to be true, how should response be initiated and what are compulsions and hence the anxiety etc.

this means time, space, pace, perception are constructs. what happens at what time and how and why and what situations of past (love), present(complexity) and future (apprehension) are felt is only self made and not absolute (which also means they can get changed and we do have that capacity to bring about change). upto a particular age, we may not analyze things (childhood) and that means a certain experience causes a momentum for us. then our intellectual skills take an upper hand and a new set of experience is created. finally we even go beyond this and we become steady again. as this process happens, the nature of awareness changes. according to philosophy, this is a "natural state" of evolution. so trust this process and take heart in the ride of life!

Shree: Evolve

 

Shree: Evolve

Many thoughts. There is no separateness in a vibration or a force or an object – it is a construct or a state of existence. Whatever it is, it means Existence. An object means change, dependence, temporal, force and vibration and fundamentally the One. Hence it is not there. I too, am not real or absolute or independent and so is anything out there.

Above means that Existence as the absolute unconditional, infinite One is pure love and it is already there without any conditions or situations. Conditions are our making just as we ourselves are motion.

Too many variables means too many conditions, means too much change and too much rigidity of controlling. As variables emerge, more fragmentation occurs and more conditions are felt and more stress is constructed. If one sees the manner in which the world seems to go, it is going to be more conditional and complex and changing and fragmented and noisy and anxious and stressful. Whatever changes occur, it is in one reservoir of existence – never in an individual. Changes in situations affect all and hence response of one also affects all. The situation of “abundance” means loss of touch with memory or feelings and more fragmentation and faster change.

Reversely, a situation of frugalness means empathy, acceptance and patience and communal living and shared world views – perhaps offering anchorage. Joint families, letter writing as a habit, postages, replies, telephones, shared utensils or objects of antiquity, shared values and so on mean “waiting” and “letting things evolve” without any judgment or expectations. So is perhaps with our mind. The mind should let things evolve without pressures of time or choice or space.

There is always a benefit in NOT expressing deeper recesses of the mind so that by those intangible things – everything evolves for good. Everything evolves without any interference and in this evolution “I” need not be even party to this! The lesser our involvement of the mind, the better it will be! Whether things are said or communicated or not in what way or pace or time or space or situation is immaterial and need not govern what we are required to do. Peace is independent of these variables – it always was. We have screwed up, thinking that variables are essential to articulate things – which are nonsense. Fact is that “things” and “satisfaction” are different experiences. A thing is incomplete and changing and hence causes a painful experience (it is a construct). Satisfaction (or bliss) is non changing, eternal, truth and does not manifest and hence is not defined by any object. One type of experience creates objects and the other creates the One!

We therefore are dealing with two concepts here – that which manifests and hence means vibrations, forces and objects (and also means change, dependence, sequences, variables, space and time etc.) and the other is non manifested (which means bliss, unconditional, non movement,  eternal, infinite and the One). All parameters and imaginations that take place in the manifested world cannot define the nature of non manifested reality – the Son cannot know his Father.

In order that Bliss becomes our core, we are required to learn trust and remember and feel God. Again the point is realization cannot be expressed – it can be felt. The touch of realization is diminished if one tries to bring it under the domain of words or intellectual inquiry or articulation. Hence Silence is the key here and no matter what one feels inside (confusion etc.) vibrations will be resolved and there is absolutely NO need to justify or even express the inner world – why should we even do it and for what and for whom and when and where, if all is His Will and things will turn out good? The vibrations we feel is a very natural process of existence and so is the step taken to become the One!

God is a state of understanding of situations, relationships, manifestations and perception. Imagination. And fundamentally, Existence.

Existence or to “be” is greater than any vibration which is created within it. Vibration leads to forces and that makes forms visible. This phenomenon also creates us and we then perceive everything around us. Since the process is same for everything, we can say that all things are dependent on one another and are not independent in absolute terms. In other words, it is only the One medium that is seen as vibrating and making and dissolving situations. So our existence is actually the eternal presence of God who is One, unconditional, steady, non moving, infinite and full of Bliss. This God is full of limitless potential and hence it “appears” that vibrations get created and forms get produced that change into something else and again dissolve. This is Potential and any vibration represents intent or a perception that leads to life. And life changes into something else. This goes on.

Separation is a mistake one dwells on. One is always coming from God and separation is an illusion that breeds defense, justification, evaluation, fear, aggression and so many things. This is a character that one creates and hence this gets imprinted and expressed by that “form”. The solution is not in motion where one searches for some start point and an end point or a bounded system or searches for some stability or predictability.

All is untruth as manifestation, so how come decisions be based on something that intrinsically is an illusion and changes?! All this means that everything is a construct of the mind which thinks that one is separated and exists independent of “God”. The process expected however, is of acknowledging and merging in God (or expanding to God).

This will take us to many experiences and so deep down that those cannot be shared or articulated and yet one has to proceed ahead. In sharing, verbalization falls short and hence that seems to be the fear in terms of how one can “justify” one’s existence and one’s meaning? This question, itself, is not tenable for why should we seek justifications as forms of God? Why cannot we be peaceful in ourselves?  Why cannot we be steady and realize that all things are from God and hence ought to be trusted and there exists always a good Will or a Divine Will behind everything?

Shree: Avoidance

 

210223: Shree: Avoidance

something that does not change is universal, eternal, truth and very subtle and very unconditional. currently i am not able to sense this because i am born in motion or relative existence or perceptions or mind or limited awareness. i am not the truth neither are my thoughts or my mind or my body or anything that i perceive as movement of any kind. yet all this appears real since i make it real by concentrating on certain set of vibrations that generate forms.

things are always getting created through me (and this is only a conduit) - this entire medium of existence that creates motion in this state and is actually One medium where everything only exists for itself.

we are required to be in touch with this Source - as inspiration moving beyond time and scale and we are not required to "think" since thinking makes the One transformed and "louder" and "fragmented". thus it is self looking on the Self (as two birds what Vedant philosophy says). currently we think these two birds are different but by wisdom, the lower bird fuses or melts with the greater Bird.

Pain is inevitable in this process and being empathetic or connecting or considering everything as One and being fully loving is a process which will make us pass through  lot of dilemma, fear, anger, disappointments, hatred, hopelessness, patience and finally arriving or becoming "pure unconditional Love". Love is a transformation and purifying the mind to such an extent that it even transcends the mind. there is no mind left since the mind expands to dissolve and become the One.

in our daily lives, we suffer a lot by suppressing pain. if only we can observe the pain and remain calm, then we can evolve. many things are embedded in pain - anger, fear, pressures, expectations, ego, clinging attitudes and so on. as ego dissolves, there is pain and there is also a sense of Beyond. something i cannot control but is always going to be there - this is the mind admitting its own limitations and hence being reluctant to recede.

knowing more parameters or variables is not the issue here, neither is fixing nor is problem definition or solving or defending or justification or anything or even planning to avoid pain.

the best thing that one ought to do with life is NOT to avoid anything and NOT to resist anything. this is very difficult and anyone who has gained this wisdom of only witnessing things as they are  - as much as they are extensions of the self - has really won it.

Shree: Belonging

 

200223: Shree: Belonging

the only way we seem to connect and modify this nature of connection is through "vibrations". vibrations will tell us what we perceive - either forms or forces or vibrations themselves or consciousness. a better way to feel this is the sense of "belonging" we create. belongingness is not of separation but of unity. the more unconditional we become, more is the sense of belonging we have. and from this sense of belonging, we share memories, we value, we sing, we transfer, we can act, we create spaces of architecture. all forms that we perceive are from the same source and hence related to us and hence are required to be taken care of. care is fundamental and it involves sacrifice, pain, and many things. forms or objects are irrelevant. the value of care (or that vibration) is what creates situations and objects and forms and relationships. does focus help to achieve this state of mind? perhaps. or just thinking about it does not. it may have to trickle through the entire imagination of thoughts, feelings and actions. and when i am using these words of thoughts, feelings, imaginations i do not necessarily mean my mind, but a collective mind that i become aware of through deployment of the stated dimensions. collective idea is what should develop and not just isolated existence. this is the crux of the issue here.

No matter what we know of perception, there is bound to be an experience of pain, hurt, love and so on. Making the mind steady is a process, sometimes frightening it seems and we are never too sure where this process will lead us. “Leading” depends on the nature of vibrations and vibrations means connections. There is not a single object in motion that is separate and unchanging and which does not depend on us and us on it. Connection or disconnection – either way is a response that creates an effect. The search for variables or discovery of the same continues our engagement with it. If the intent of action (reading, listening, doing) is of control (through ego), then that will never generate peace within us. If the intent is changed to discussion and sharing and nourishment and empathy then perhaps there is relaxation ingrained in us. Perhaps this is so because relaxation or peace is the natural state of being to realize the One. And fragmentation or ego is the opposite of that state so it gives us stress and fear.

This is basic law of Existence. At times I feel like slapping someone or using such appropriate words that the effect is clear to the other. That does not necessarily happen of course and why it does not or why it should not is at times not possible for us to logically analyze. Dropping fear and gaining clarity is a process and very organic at that too. I would like relationships with people and work to be in some ways but how that materializes and when is required to be trusted to God.

God does all and is the main cause behind all the differences, perceptions and motion. Trust Him without any reason. Love Him.

Hari Om.

Shree: Boundary

 

Shree: Boundary

Boundaries are in the mind – either there is an object, a separation (from vibration) or there is only the One. Where there is “none” in manifestation, there is the One! Hence “Nothing” is also filled to the brim by Consciousness! My guess is that the total Existence in terms of consciousness and manifestation always remains the same – I can see more manifestations or fragments or I can become the One. Boundary is only a construct or a decision to become independent – of what I may ask? This independence is a flawed concept and it actually implies disconnection from most of the things around you. So the sphere of awareness gets shrunk to a tiny atom which experiences a huge amount of stress and conditions to stay alive. There is no vacuum in existence – it is either One or manifestation. There is no stop in existence – it is either One vibration or many vibrations. By creating boundaries outside, we create boundaries inside - of imaginations, thoughts, feelings and even more fragments till no sense of self remains. What is seen is only data but the perspective (and the capacity) of clubbing them into clusters is forgotten. This is tragic and should be resurrected. What AI does is this – losing our capacity to realize the One.

Difference is the trait of motion – non static, variable, perception of situations and its interpretations by others. Having understood this, one need not bother about change, dependence and variability of reading the event and crafting a response. That is just the way things are and hence that is the way we live within it. Despite this difference, one is realizing that there may be something fundamental about existence from which all differences emerge or are seen. Another thing about motion is that nothing is at rest and everything is about vibration. Therefore there are constructs or imaginations and what ifs and conditions and projections and notions. There is a potential of becoming and all such becoming of situations or objects or people have a cosmic potential of “everything”. Thus we see that since there is “change”, there is vibration and “dependence” (or relationships) and cosmic in its nature. To expect a thing of absolute staticness and independent identity is NOT found in motion and neither does such a property in motion can ever exist. This is creation, which comes from the One. We are all “children” of God – all these vibrations, forces, forms – everything. The property of consciousness is what makes manifestation possible. All of motion is from Divine intervention.

The problem with academics is its emphasis on logic or visibility or sequential analysis or anything that can be quantified and evaluated and subjected to application based on the mentioned parameters. Existence is such that it is beyond this claim of academics and there are many processes and perceptional dimensions beyond articulation and even without logic or justification and hence Existence cannot have any algorithm. As regards to the inquiry of academics about where is the origin and what comes first – the answer is not in academics but in realization through trust.

How trust works is again a matter of its intrinsic mysterious dimension – trust. It would be better to look beyond how and why and where and when in this case. This is where everything melts and becomes the One.

Hari Om.

All of manifestations and all concepts and all imaginations and all vibrations, forces and forms are born from God. Manifestation does not have any existence of its own but is a result of the presence of consciousness. To be self aware means to have a seed of consciousness that vibrates into some form which believes that it has a mind and body “of its own”! I would not exist if the One was not there and the fact that “I” exist as vibrations, mind and body means to acknowledge that the One exists! All our fears or thoughts or feelings are caused by the One’s presence. Even writing this statement and thinking about what to do now – all of this is by Him.

As motion we will feel incomplete and fearful about what happens next and that will compel us to act – this is creation or a property of vibration. One never questions why such a property exists because that seems equal to question the phenomenon of motion that depends entirely on the One. Since the answer is not found in motion, we remain engaged. More the variables found, more is the pace of change; more are the conditions of dependence, more is the feeling of incompleteness, more are the expectations and conditions laid down for stability and so on. This is a self generated cycle. Information explosion is not just information, but it is an attitude of the mind that implies fragmentation and hyperactivity to control things. More the fragmentation, more is our disconnect with existence or any situation or any object and more is the anxiety related to that object. We are unnecessarily concerned with “details”, whereas in fact the details of motion and change need not matter to us. Be steady and know that whatever action is taken is for Him and one is completely accepting what situations occur.

There are subtle things that create a perceivable situation and the most subtle layer will indicate that it is only bliss or love that exists absolutely and hence to colour it with any perception or intent or analysis is not required. Love does not require any medium of manifestation to justify its presence. It is there. It is the most natural state of existing. Whatever is natural, must be most appropriate. And hence it exists infinitely, eternally and by itself in absolute sense. Let things be as they are. By thinking about them, we engage and we create more situations. That way, situations are not there except for God. Hence perceive everything with unconditional love without judging or evaluating in terms of space and time. This will take time. For, before this ideal state is reached, we generate vibrations that tie us to motion and we need to learn and untie the vibrations. Therefore there is no before or after or sequence that is supposed to lead one to liberation. It is what we define and trust our actions. As independent things of ideas or constructs, they are not absolute – our body or mind or anything of “motion” that appears, remains dependent and changes – all is imagination or vibration and not the truth. Know this very well and lead a life. Truth equals  absolute, independent and infinite love.

Hari Om.

Shree: inquiry of unpredictability

 

160223: Shree: inquiry of unpredictability

certain things need to be reminded again and again in our mind so it transforms. we remind ourselves of motion every moment so we make it alive, visible, real. do we ever make God real? to make Him real, we ought to become unconditional, loveable, expansive and dedicated in our living or being. being is existence and it can be full of motion or it can be full of love and non motion and non visible. either way, it is existence but one is preferable over the other. which one is preferable is a matter of realization and not of proving anything.

the whole idea of proving and thinking and doing is limited and does not convey the presence of God. it never has.

by saying "some" words we think that it was correct - but we relook at the same and think that it should have been in this way or that way. it can be about anger or any feeling or anything in general. so the point is that we do not stop thinking and keep looking for a start point.

it requires acceptance that things just happen and our perception of the same is incidental and need not be seen personally as something to control or harp about or divert or anything.

difficult i agree. at times we think that doing and misplacing and thinking about things only in your control may transform reality for us - i am not  really sure how that works as whatever i am doing right now still affects me since our birth and perception is relational to everything else. so we cannot disconnect neither can we accept everything the way it is. and this is our human reality. no complaints. it gives pain by the way. and it asks for endurance, patience and trust.

we may think of a sequence, time frame, space for our appropriate action - whatever it is. but it still remains limited. that is of course no reason to feel dejected. we do have a right to act (imagine, decide and act) but not on the fruits of our actions. for this, trusting God is required. this is a process in itself and this also calls for trust. the fruits are never in our hands  - only possibilities of becoming and accepting. how can the fruits be predictable? the assumption of predictability is non existence!

therefore trust existence. be steady and still.

Hari Om.

 

Shree: Becoming

 

150223: Shree: Becoming

any sort of a feeling from anger or hatred to others is bound to be generated, no matter how much they are controlled and no matter how much we think that we were right. right or wrong is an assumption or an imagination and is changeable, not in isolation and relative and has a huge background of past events leading to a reaction or a response.  they come and go because we think that the forms are real and these change and we base our assumptions of well being on making them predictable and not changeable. this won't happen as manifestation is all about dependence, change and vibrations and perceptions. the nature of consciousness is to exist unconditionally and to become. every object has a "property" and if we look at consciousness, then Its property is absolute bliss, non movement and full of potential to become anything. all of creation and manifestation is by this property of consciousness to vibrate into something and become a form dependent on everything else. this coming, going, becoming is also an apparent phenomenon only perceivable for those who have been born into some life form. For God, no such movement is required to be undertaken. hence it is a strange phenomenon of conversion - it happens if there seems to be some intent of vibration or a thought or an intent and the moment that happens, there is life and there is compulsion to act.

we think we do work, we feel, we plan, we say, we do, we relate - but all is by His Will or by the presence of consciousness or by the property of Existence. if only this feel is taken deep inside and awareness of the presence of God is retained.

in the same way, no matter what our intentions, we may say something terrible to people and people will get on our nerves (or we will let them get on our nerves) - all is incidental of course but we take it personally and we completely forget why such things happen. then we will try to find some start point to understand where and how did all this anger start and we will then try to fix the point by some action.  a part of this analysis is required so that we understand that things are interconnected and far too complicated than simple blame game. so there may be empathy next time or increased patience.

by doing this a number of times then we may get disillusioned into believing that the cycle just keeps repeating then why take the effort? this also is a progress of the mind to question about the nature of action.

finally there is transformation when one realizes that it was not about anyone and not even about myself - but things just happen and there IS a far greater presence of the One than our minds can comprehend. when this happens, we become unconditional in action and become focused and full of love. we become only pure Being. how does this feeling develop? patience, remembrance, concentration, trust.

Hari Om.

Shree: Upto me

 

140223: Shree: Upto me

situation does not dictate the level of designing something. life does not dictate how i should respond. situation is immaterial and is a construct - which means it is changeable, depends on our imagination and gets defined by what we put in it. that way nothing is absolutely real and this opens up the territory of "potential of becoming".

i can look at the same situation as being pessimistic and problematic or something that generates an experience of pure bliss and infinite expansion. thus it is the nature of vibrations that get generated which are important and which form a relation with the manifested world.

i cannot even govern any thought which comes and goes and i need not even try to hang on to any thought which is just required to pass through me. we carry a huge baggage of past, present and future and past momentum and whatever the perception makes us do. yes, it would be there since that is what perception of a human being is and the more turmoil or pain one undergoes, the more serious is the urge to transcend the same. there is importance of considering all dimensions of the mind and how they affect us and let them influence our thoughts, albeit with care and observation. one cannot hurry about these things and but let the thoughts come and go.

to infer, there is no need to escape anything or to even expect anything to occur in a particular way at a particular time and frequency and tendency. if God is the only truth, then ALL movements and perceptions in imaginations happen by His presence and so whatever we think or do or have or respond is stemming from that presence of God. it has always been only One medium apparently fragmented into various names and forms (or components of interdependent motion). so fragmentation of self or memory is our own doing just as to create an experience of bliss also is in our capacity.

everyday as i drive, i self talk into believing that i need not be concerned by which vehicle comes where and at what speed and size and colour and why do vehicles zip past and why at other times i have to go slow and wait. i do not know the entire road map but i know i will reach where i set out to go. this can also suggest an approach of living - i experience some movement that i call as mind and body that generate perception of forces and forms wherein i can either choose to remain peaceful or anxious. i only know i am on a journey of bliss - what it means daily and what experiences it will lead me i do not have any clue about but i will reach where i should be going. movement only happens apparently - this coming and going of self and as well as other forces and forms - all from the Invisible and Infinite One.

the One is the only permanent absolute thing of Existence and hence to become that state is the fundamental purpose of living. sooner one realizes this, the track becomes clear as to what are we doing exactly in this world? the whole of life is just an imagination that is meant to be transcended and it does not have any absolute worth in itself (apart from making us learning to transcend and realizing the Ultimate Truth).

in social relations that may mean that people may think and say whatever they want to but that is not an indication of what it means to us apart from the idea of connection and love and learning to be patient.

in designing for spaces it is upto me to satisfy the depth of experience - situation and purpose is immaterial. a program does not say anything what i should do - i can do anything as long as i become truthful.

Hari Om.

Shree: Absolute Bliss

 

130223: Shree: Absolute Bliss

By itself object, forces, vibrations do not have any independent existence. they depend on motion or properties of manifestation (change, vibration, forces, condensation, visibility, impermanence) and so on. so whatever we perceive has this property of motion. fundamentally, there is only Existence that has some awareness. this existence is perceived differently as the function of the nature of the mind. so whatever one sees or perceives "exists" and the core of all this existence is absolute consciousness or bliss.

all intents or triggers are from this presence of consciousness and the feeling of unconditional bliss - it has a property of vibration or of becoming into something - vibrations and forces and finally forms. with each of this transformation, the feeling of bliss becomes manifested as love and further as various feelings (positive and negative). it is not the object that has any truth (or absolute validity) but the feeling that has created it or expresses it or represents it. the object therefore cannot define our inner world and if you let it, then there is turmoil within. this turmoil makes us perceive the world we call "life".

so remember the source of absolute bliss - God.

All things are created from vibrations. Creation is a function of the potential to become – which is initiated by the property of consciousness to vibrate. As a human being we have become a form of motion which is interdependent and relative with everything else. We perceive many things because of this state of existence of motion. So there is actually no “we” here – it is only a matter of the nature of perception or vibration or the nature of the mind. Associated thoughts include the following:

I am comfortable NOT knowing the purpose of life and where is the start and the end point and why, how, where, when these get created. So much of stress is unwarranted for the search of a start point to define everything. Not required at all.

Analysis is always “dated” since it happens from Existence and it does not supersede Existence. This means that there is always a room to think new and fresh and one’s thoughts may or may not adhere to anything and the question of adherence also need not govern the freedom to create.

Ambiguity is the fundamental presence of creation. Another name for this is vibration – or the potential to become. If there is no ambiguity then things would probably be dead already! So ambiguity remains everywhere in all aspects of creation and even within the inner and outer worlds.

This also means that there is no need to justify the inner world or to confirm to rules of external world of conditions. Inner world can and does remain independent of external conditions. This also implies that inner world outcomes cannot be predicted or even controlled or even justified and this is the world of existence or consciousness.

This also means that a human being has many dimensions of perceptions – logic being only one of them and any dimension need not supersede or judge any other dimension and they exist as they are. There is no logical reason why feelings exist and why pain is felt, yet it is real. And art, as one of the fields, creates this space to “let out” feelings of all kinds without holding anything responsible or trying to fix anything! Perhaps by being too involved with intellect, we lose this way of existing – of just living without judging and thereby sadly feeling responsible for everything!

Memory is of many dimensions and is not just about remembering facts or situations. Memory is about impressions and the more expansive and subtle the mind is, more signals may get imprinted on the mind. Finally memory can help one become consciousness where there remains no trace of separation or impression or boundary or application.

Things happen and they happen because of the existence of perception or awareness. Since we perceive many, but the trigger being only the One, it is always His Will that works and not a separated ego. To work means to be in unconditioned cosmic action of being and becoming.

Accordingly to Kant and many other philosophers, space and time are dimensions of existence and not defined “out there” as neutral entities. There is an external phenomenon and internal phenomenon and the relation of the two and there is noumenon.

Shree: Empty

 

110223: Shree: Empty

 

All is God- all creation, all differences, all thoughts, feelings, vibrations, forces and vibrations. There is nothing separated from God – what I am and see and do – is coming from Him. As human beings or forms, there is “awareness” that causes vibration and leads to forces and forms that we call as “movement” or “motion” or “manifestation”. This awareness or Being is consciousness that has the potential to become anything and appear as anything. This means that creation cannot happen without vibration that we perceive as thoughts or intent or feelings and those lead to a purpose of action and finally the product or a form. The property of this form that is created is inseparable and dependent on us and collectively we interchange. So whatever we create is coming from our vibrations or consciousness and is not separated at all. In the same way, whatever we perceive or internalize from the environment depends on what is happening within us, since the environment and us are not separated. This means all is One medium that appears as many. One appears as motion with some properties of their own and everywhere there is change and coming and going and transforming into something else.

The core of all this manifestation is the trigger for everything that happens or that gets perceived and is forever present in all and is infinite, undisturbed, blissful, and complete in absolute sense. To know this, we need to become absolutely “empty” of all vibrations, since the core exists without any motion or any intent or any purpose! This is magic! Something just being there causes all creations and purposes and intents to occur! Therefore, becoming empty means to expand the mind and becoming Infinite without any dimension of space and time.

I think the biggest worry is how we think that limits  us to  achieve or feel  this bliss. Trust God and remember Him.

Hari Om.

one has to think but not get identified with anything. this means that feelings of points, dependence, incompleteness, imagination, manifestations, motion are notional (or self made or constructs) and one need not be bothered by it and should flow with the "tide" of things. the tide is not me specifically, but the presence of existence makes the tide. in other words existence is about states of perceptions, out of which, seeing or perceiving forms is one of them and hence the pull the forms generate on our mind or what the mind says to us. in all this, relationships, people, ideas, tendencies, attitudes, constructs are "incidentally" formed and since the entire thing is full of creation, vibration, we feel incomplete and wish to fix things. all is by God and there is no independent form or a position or a place or time or anything - but all is contained in me and i am beyond all this - not defined by anything.

in motion, it is natural to feel the stress and compulsion and the need to develop a response and feel separated. any minute thought or movement within the internal world of the mind is going to create some pressure or an impression or a momentum or stress to resolve the same.

the practice is to refrain from any resolution that comes from attachment to the motion. this means not to become conditioned to developments or movements happening in space and time or manifestation. therefore let things be as they are - they need not say anything about perception  - except to indicate a state. and it also indicates differences within the One entity or a form that the One has taken and made us. 

attachment also comes from finding start points, finding the past, future, self, their variables and so on - it need not be so. of course the mind is so complex and vast that these variables will exist and inform our perception. one may ask why or how with tenderness but not for controlling anything. we may feel compelled to do many  things at faster pace and be involved in multiple stuffs and always be in a defensive mode...not at all required. the seed of transcendence is implanted in us, so we will become aware about the extent of perception - that includes past, present and future and not just a moment or some point in space or time - but everything, even past lives. there is nothing personal about motion and the urge to make it personal stems from ego or being worried about unknown factors. things are unknown as long as they do not come in our perception zone. even if they do come in our zone, it is not meant to take more greater control over change or variables but to  understand the limitation of assuming control.

we may be compelled to justify and also feel lost in not knowing how to accurately be understood by the other....not to worry.

we may have dilemmas and that is perfectly ok since that is the sign of thinking and going close to become the One. dilemmas will go away one day.

we may not know how we have come to perceive things in the world in this manner and that too is all ok! we may not know anything at all and nothing about how things change - that too is fine and does not govern our bliss.

Hari Om.

Perception is an illusion of some start point. It happens because there is a search for a start point and a sequence and a finish point where things seem resolved or perfect. This is a tendency of perception or vibration or a state of existence or motion or ego or mind – call it by any name but “mind” is a tendency of thinking or feeling existence. Motion is an illusion or a construct or a function of a state of existence and hence this creates difference in our mind (individuality of mind and body) and hence the craze of setting things perfect.

 

It never depends on “us”. We think we are separate and hence there is burden, responsibility, guilt, plan, worry, fear, and dilemma and so on. The forms that we see or how we vibrate as forces is again not absolutely true and is always limited, conditional and always will remain subjected to God’s Will for He works and not us.

 

The start point is assumed as “me” and it will be realized that this leads to interdependence and motion and change and to universal connections. Hence every action has some reaction or a response in some manner coming back to us perhaps in a different form and in some different place and time. This is called the momentum of action and this is the default way of existing in motion. This momentum or action is perception.

 

The moment any “point” is thought of, it will also bring with it aspects of past, future, change and motion – it will mean temporariness, change and continuity of engagement. So a point does not exist in isolation (or cannot be isolated or nothing exists in isolation or everything is conditional) and whatever is perceived creates an eternal cycle of engagement. This is a property of consciousness and the only way to become One is to steady the mind. Steadiness is irrespective of any situation or nothing comes in between making the self steady and becoming the One.

 

Commitment, patience, perseverance and concentration are required. Say that the start is always God and not me.

Mauli: Apparent differences implies Oneness

 

070223: Mauli: Apparent differences implies Oneness

differences are not absolutely 'true' - they are a matter of perception that has been induced in motion. differences exist IS itself an indication of a state of perception and a "prior" state that is called as the One. there are many signs for knowing  this reality, some of which can be mentioned as:

change and transformation. had a difference been absolute, it would not have changed and would have been "dead". that, which changes, is alive and creates a difference. that, which does not create change, is dead and notional and not true. so difference is a sign of being alive and existing.

if one decodes ALL differences, it would lead to the same conclusion - of relative truth, change, context and how one perceives the situation. so the factors that shape a particular perception remain the same, although their output in terms of feelings may differ.

since there is difference, there is dilemma and confusion and ego. this is so because a start point and end point is not absolute and keeps shifting. so there is constant engagement to remain alive or in motion - that causes struggle. again, had there been just one start point, there would not have been life, so to say. one start point universally known means one sequence of progress and one destination - so the whole phenomenon (and need) of creation would not have even existed! so the search for a start point leads to transcendence.

although situations are unique to a person of different contexts, cultures, age, gender, language and so on, we can still "understand and empathize" with all life forms  - so it is an indication that a fundamental Oneness exists deep within all life forms. it is also an indication of what seems fundamental amidst the vast apparent difference one perceives and therefore what is the nature of perception that sees and causes differences and can also melt differences?

a particular "idea" may be stated in a particular book - but everyone may be able to relate to it. this means situations or tendencies need not come in the way of understanding an idea or a concept or an inquiry. this means that ideas or inquiries can be fundamental for everyone to anchor but the expression of those ideas may be different for each individual. so individualism is a notion or a construct of existence but is not absolutely true.

since fundamental reality is understood in unique ways by each individual, it means that one method of becoming the Truth is not applicable for the other person - each has to discover the same truth through his/her tendency of perception. truth exists without confirmation or justification or even acknowledgement - it is more a matter of recognizing and realizing and becoming the truth.

all things are more than pure logic or a predictable sequence. this is because of the existence of "vibrations" or a property of consciousness. we ourselves do not know the entire depth of consciousness and how certain things interact with one another (even within our mind) to create what we call as perception. hence there is a big role of trust and the entire trust being the foundation of blissful existence. thus concept of ego, justification, approval, confirmation is entirely false.

all that we see and behave and react and fear and change is a matter of existing in a particular state of mind. if seers tell us to trust God, that also has to be learnt so that we become trusting and blissful and unconditional. how this happens is again to be trusted. situations may come, they will need to be responded and endured and yet trust need to continue.

Realization is. Purpose of understanding ourselves or God is not to solve any problem. We consider ourselves as a problem to be fixed – that of a wavering mind (born from vibrations, forces and makes perceptions of forms possible). This is a tendency of existence. And it is not mine or yours, but just exists in a particular state of vibration that leads to certain forces and makes perception of life possible. So should it be taken personally?

 

Tendencies exist. Some seers call it “Divine Action”. And tendency is motion, to be able to become something, to change and to evolve and to create. It is about creation. In what manner things happen and are said and by whom and where and how and what seems to be the intent behind things cannot be ascertained for sure – or it can be of any intent depending on your state of mind! The problem is in assuming or fixing our conclusion based on the intent of motion or situation or person, which is dependent and conditional and changing. That causes tremendous pain. We cannot expect anyone to change based on our idea of permanence or stability – none at all and what the person says has got anything to do in defining self worth either. The expectation exists because there is interdependence and this exists because there is only One medium that creates all sorts of motion – the visible forms being the gross level of motion and existence. 

 

There is a huge turmoil currently in our environment – people respond to it in different ways from aggression to confusion to loudness to hyper activity to multi tasking to procrastinating to isolation. There are many reasons for this - chief amongst them is the disconnect that is created by us towards existence.  

 

Is that solveable? Maybe. Or the approach is in self transformation or realization of the One medium and making Him the part and parcel in all our thoughts, feelings and actions.

Mauli: Chaos and Silence

020223: Mauli: Chaos and Silence

ego plays out things in weird ways.

ego is a belief of lack of time or to be stressed by undue pressures of space and time. pressure is self created and this is dependent on identification with vibrations leading to forces and forms - separation. increased fragmentation means more pace of change, more variables,  more expectations of controlling the variable, more feeling of loss on account of faster rate of change of variables, more sense of resignation since things seem to slip out from our hands and so on. people try to arrest this feeling through measures of

tighter controlling measures meant to streamline with absolute clarity the definition of variables and defining the identity of every parameter in a situation. this may mean more laws, more conditions, more terms, more lawsuits and so on.

more control means more surveillance, more data, more sequencing, more micro managing the situation. this may mean increase of documentation and increased anxiety for finding some gaps in data collection and algorithms.

lots of noise and only being concerned about what one expects and bulldozing everything else - feelings and opinions included. increased pitch of voice, more time spent in defending oneself and justifying one's actions and reframing doing something where there is ambiguity. this leads to apathy and false silence.

loss of focus, multitasking, misplaced priorities in the head and wasting meaningful time of one's life.

compelled to cover up by doing too many  things at misplaced times to please all "lost" things from relationships to tasks to people. not being able to empathize and understand and decode feelings. compelled to perform always and be loud. (if environment becomes disconnected, the self becomes more aggressive, louder and exhibitionist)

above things do not work however for humanity's benefit. and at the centre is 'we' the person who imagines this idea of control and loss. as more and more fragmentation happens, one is going to have lesser control over defined products since what is "imagined", what is "said", what gets "perceived" and what "action" takes place - each step differs or fragments. there is a difference at each level of vibration in terms of intent and the irony is that each step is required to be justified from vibrations to forces to forms!

this inquiry is philosophical and one needs to realize what is existence, how is one related to the cosmos and how change occurs. at the same time, how creation occurs is also to be understood. by realizing this phenomenon, then one can think of defining the nature of creation, engagement and response.

response taken from ego is misleading no matter how slow or fast the response maybe. we are not the doer and we do not have any start or end point of action - it is a cycle and we are not individuals who can think away in our sweet dreams. we are from consciousness Whose Presence generates all motion - alignment or fragmentation occurs herein. we only have a choice to be undertaken or exercised - either keep fragmenting or realize the alignment with the Whole.

above may still look too abstract to be applied. but when i see my parents ailing health, tons of things to be responded, my boss's temperament, college atmosphere and the general hyperness exhibited by people around me, above thoughts occur in my mind and i am forced to ask  - where is all of this going to lead to? there is nothing that has a pattern and that can be predicted. to expect anything from any situation is surely going to lead to disappointment and it is a battle that has to be fought daily internally.

my silence expresses this battle and perhaps this too may dissolve and offer solace.

Hari Om.

 

Mauli: Meaning

 

010223: Mauli: Meaning

the issue is about relational identity - we are not separate and all is only One medium seen as motion when we are humans. this means that as reality fragments more and more, we have less and less control over our thoughts and actions. we end up believing that our scope of control needs to be smaller but even this scope depends on many other changing bigger factors outside our definition! therefore, smaller and isolated identities have a harder time to remain stable and demand a lot of stability to keep this position tenable. becoming an island is a big danger for the self, although it may seem easy on the face of it (logically).

with more fragmentation there are going to be many forms and many objects and many tasks and many data and a lot of conditions or logic of sequences to achieve some seamless output - too much of a boring reality and burdensome as well. finally with fragmentation the "meaning" of a single data may not be known and the entire pace of change may finally become quite useless or meaningless.

data or an object or a situation or self or anything of imagination is never isolated - a sequence is generated that we call perception and action and we need to remain engaged and create meaning. thus meaning is to find patterns that make changes possible at a huge scale, applicable for all, pace is perhaps reduced and smaller scales or objects just do not matter to us. always look for something larger or expansive than the little 'you'.

whenever that happens, one becomes more anchored. motion needs to go beyond perception and make the self realize consciousness - a state of no change and infinite existence and completely unconditional.
