Shree: Beings

things need to be written. it is a mistake to think that one only should think linearly as a cause and effect phenomenon or from a start point to the middle to the end point or from past to present to future. reality indicates that my mind will go in all directions and relook at the past, dissect it, perhaps experience joy or guilt, come to the present, consider the future, become apprehensive or fearful, again come to the present and probably decide on a response. this is to be accepted as a human behaviour and the relevance of the present depends or is conditioned by many factors. all is a construct or imagination no doubt, and by that "logic" everything may appear "false". however imagination or false or construct also feels intellectual or logical to us at present and hence we consider it some sort of "formula" to solve the inquiry or limitation of conditions. this may assist us to some extent but we realize that existence is more than analysis, application of formula, known practices and so on. and herein becomes our awareness of Existence and what it means to us (as imagination) and how then to approach this situation wherein we perceive or are born and sense some phenomenon.

thinking is incomplete or impermanent and as a potential of becoming and shows us how situations get created and our role in the making of them. thoughts come from a medium and make us and then we consider or feel our mind or body and then we catch or make further signals based on this illusion of self and then we respond. a thought leads  to others and unless one thought comes, the other is not formed and the "flow" continues. this has an important learning - in order to go (or arrive) to a particular destination formed by a set of thoughts, i must pass through all stages of thoughts that will finally create those appropriate thoughts. now what would those stages be - would that mean avoidance or embracing or sometimes this or sometimes that (only God knows) the creation of those appropriate thoughts (or our arrival) only happens after previous thoughts were experienced. this means i cannot short circuit any of the experiences (that may include a lot of pain too) in order that i become blissful or loveable. hence every perception is required and is to be accepted and is stage in a journey of becoming the One.  hence to each his own - it is your life, so you have to walk through it.

secondly, one is always at the centre of everything. if a realization is known, it gets applied "here and now". for us really, the "here and now" is the only thing that matters. the past and future will start to compliment the "now" when more and more realizations occur and the momentum starts to loosen its grip on our thoughts. realization may sometimes make us feel guilty of wrong doings of past or protecting the future  - all is ok, but in reality we are always working in the "now".

the central message of Bhagwatgeeta is to get involved with the nature of perception and transcend it - by thoughts, feelings, action. to realize that there is only God and He exists in us. that we are only some temporary vibrations that create perception but it still requires embracing this phenomenon and becoming the One. that all is ok with life as long as one takes the effort to transcend.
