Shree: variables

 

Shree: variables

Shree, it is bewildering to feel burdened and impacted with systems and the craze of control. Fundamentally, the control is about restricting change (and even death or the idea of temporality or impermanence). Part of the answer to manage this anxious feeling is to keep discussing fundamental things about existence and for this, I do not think that system can help in any way – or even if it could then it should be devised in a way that this gets vented out. Suppressing under a carpet and compartmentalizing does not dissolve this feeling. And more the systems and dots, more is the buried anxiety of isolation that “speeds up” production – like a traffic system – you increase roads or flyovers but the traffic increases further! By control and systems, you attract “more anxiety”!! Therefore it is not an issue of control by defining any variables and sequences in the equation. Actually, more variables, mean less scales are being targeted, more change affects the variables and more connections of such tiny variables are felt – that makes a variable very much unstable to handle. Hence the current situation of control, systems, variables mean more stress and more anxiety and more mental unstableness.

In simple terms, if you expect “control” (wish to micro manage things) then it causes huge amount of stress. We need to accept and make room for empty spaces to create variables of different kinds.

Maybe calmness and talk and slowness is the key.
