Shree: three states, avoidance and consumption

 

Shree: three states, avoidance and consumption

one becomes what one perceives and vice versa. technology is a tool that is operated and affects the operator in turn.

currently the identity, use and behaviour of virtual space depends on how the mind operates it and the imagination of the mind itself depends or is altered by this tool. since the tool is highly fluid, fleeting, fragmented, decontextualized, highly abstract - this is what the mind becomes. the mind changes fast, remains highly abstract and fluid and may conceive and implement ideas that have nothing to do with place and time. by context we mean the effect of change, time and space and people. as people, we are contextual species - imagination stems from a contextual perception. rather perception itself is contextual.

we also have a real space and time imagination - again contextual or that which informs our imagination. the changes that seem to happen in real space and time and their dependence and interconnectedness with us determines the state of our mind. the mind is required to respond to developments and conditions that happen in real space and time and also its own connection with them.

further back, we may realize a state of mind where the context or boundaries imposed by space and time (and the vibrations melt away or become steady) and what we become is God.

in all three examples cited above, vibrations are responsible for how we perceive or imagine the world of existence. changes in vibrations that are dependent, conditional and non permanent make up what we see.  hence they are called as imaginations which are relative.

this indicates that there is nothing that exists in isolation and could be done without affecting the cosmos or us - two sides of the same coin. hence the response to compartmentalize and avoid something is limited in its approach. by avoiding something, one creates some other vibrations which again alters our imagination. avoidance causes trouble in the end.

the ability to think and face dilemma is a sign of embracing struggle of transcendence and ego. this leads to creativity and what is appropriate action.

in times of ChatGBT and online systems and online modes of production and consumption, we do not engage ourselves with imagination. so weak we are or have become that we do not know what to say  to whom and how and where and why and when. fragmentation of imagination has caused weakness of the mind and of public space and even private space. we no longer talk our fears, our concerns, our pain and all of this is also long term and may have nothing to do with  the immediate responses. there is loneliness and pain but we do not face them, for to face them means to embrace all these emotions and accept them as our own making. avoidance and increased consumption has made us lazy and isolated cocoons in the web of existence.

space and existence was and is always collective and not only for the one kind of motion. philosophically all is One and hence space and time is for all and cannot be compartmentalized in any way.

so always embrace experiences of all kinds - they are our own. this embracing may mean to do things that matter in any sequence or any method as long as there is a deeper meaning created. meaning is done for self and God, not for the world.

another take away in this is that nothing stops creating. if one thinks, one creates. and one keeps creating a loop of actions. therefore all cultures, histories, past and future have created loops wherein contexts may have differed but the underlying tendencies may have remained the same. tomorrow maybe a different and a superior technology after AI may come - it would again alter our state of mind and liberation will be far from it. every new tool, creates new set of interdependent variables that set a pace of change and our connections with it. so conditions still remain and we still are bounded by those conditions.

so all this talk of liberation is foolish unless of course the mind is made silent!
