Shree: Connections

In times when individualism is stressed upon so much – I have got minimum to do with you (so that is better!). Now for who is that better, I do not know (and neither do I care!!)….this is how it goes.

But the inference of this position is that the individual and the society – both get harmed by this attitude. The harm is for both because intrinsically both are interrelated! The moment one wants to disconnect, both parties are at a loss! Any such action has got a twin effect on the doer and the end user. As this is being written, it is felt that therefore architecture is such a thought that the distinction of all constructs diminishes and hence can be said to be holistic or empathetic. But again, this is an approach – and this approach comes from any field, any situation, any position, and any relationship. And the fundamental awareness of how this develops is because philosophically everything has the same seed of consciousness apparently only contextually expressed as different forces and forms. We may refer this as rhizometric thinking or even starting with a point and spiraling to make connections with all. So a point is notional – it was always a “web” of existence. A point can also mean a human being. A human being may have ego, but it can expand and dissolve to become infinite. So a point (ego) is a construct and nothing absolute. In fact it gives enormous pain. So by dissolving the point, there is no pain but the process of dissolving might be painful.

Yet the above concept can also be stated in a different way. I need to connect with anyone else since through connections I understand myself, differences, common points and I realize what is “motion” and “impermanence” all about and I let go off a personal attitude of holding onto ego. I realize that many times, things cannot be shared, many times certain questions are too difficult to share, many times one ought to only listen and accept, many times relationships matter more than career or some frivolous idea, many times there is nothing one needs to do, many times things may just keep happening, many times things can be done only for pure being, many times control or technology is not the answer for feeling intimate, many times things come to full circle after a lot of running around, many times vibrations need acceptance than debate or discussion, many times it was never about you or anybody, many times it is not about solving anything at all, many times it is just not about proving anything!...now how the hell will I learn these things unless I do not connect? What one needs is a good healing experience – learning to be as natural and blissful as possible.

Connection is the language of consciousness. I accept consciousness only when the scale and behaviors of motion keeps changing and getting bigger, complex, dense, and subtle till I start to accept things as they are. This learning is required. Anyone who thinks that individualism ought to be “celebrated” is making a complete fool of himself/herself. Individualism is being anti-existential.

Remember that it is always about One medium.
