Shree: Inward journey

 

Shree: Inward journey

Whatever that generates the ‘form’ we exist in the medium called “whatever”. Things come into being (or motion) for some time, change, remain conditional or contextual, perceive, dissolve and this cycle continues. That “thing” which creates these cycles is called as Absolute Potential and is only One medium. And it is the same medium that creates ‘me’ and hence the world of forms for me.

Memory, as we come to associate with, is what gets remembered or projected or imagined by vibrations. These vibrations are the potential of becoming that are contained in the medium itself. Thus memory can extend to a moment to several lives to forms to vibrations. We think through memory and here I am referring memory as becoming or imagination or a construct. Hence if mind is the tool of memory generation, then it depends on the nature of mind what sort of memory is created and what sort of imagination of life takes place?! Therefore, mind is all about imagination or vibrations. “I perceive a thing” is a loaded statement that means the self, the act of perception or a relation and the thing as I perceive it and how it perceives me and in effect what is the cosmic position that makes me perceive the thing in that manner! Therefore, generally, our perception is made of so many factors and signals that we treat it very superficially most of the times. And hence the problem of fear and control and loops and dilemma.

Can we look through what we perceive? This requires some training or disciplining the mind. And this is called setting the process of inward journey. No easy task and not even logical or even predictable or even purposeful. In Marathi it starts with प्रत्याहार then goes to धारण then becomes ध्यान finally leading to समाधी. How does one do it? It can be through work or through sound or through thought or through breath. The basis of this is concentration. Concentrate on any one dimension till it becomes steady and by making that dimension steady, the entire mind becomes steady.

If anyone wants to encounter what does it mean to be God, then one is referring to this process of becoming.

Hari Om.
