Shree: Calmness and fear

If only I am calm, I am able to ‘picture’ fear the way it seems to get constructed by me / through me. This fear is just one aspect of existence and it is applicable at all scales and all forms (as sequences or variables). If the inference of these variables is to achieve control, then I get stressed and fearful (as feelings). Hence fear is an inference of a state of perception. What is a situation is an independent act (called A); what is perceived by this act (is called B) and what it subsequently results as a feeling within us and a continuous loop (is called C). Hence C depends on B and B is generated by us through A (which already exists).

Now this inference called ‘fear’ compels us to act without any rationality. Calmness is a state that this compulsion is not generated DESPITE any perceived changes and incompleteness. I am NOT A or B or C. Or in other words, we can go from C to A and even transcend A by changing the nature of B. There is therefore no need to defend or justify anything or get worried or stressed by anything at all – not even our sense of being incomplete. Now incompleteness also is a perception – it should not mean that I ought to be worried.

Hence the essense of being calm is to become non judgmental about everything, even the self or the creation of self, no matter what perception occurs.

Now this requirement is a mysterious event and not only a relative or a causal relationship and hence one cannot predict the dawn of calmness within us. Trust is required.

Calmness is in realization of the Truth and being full of Inspiration and Divine Presence. It will also be seen here that it seems to be a property of Existence to remain expansive and calm or to become contracted and fearful. Essentially expansion and contraction results in the creation of feeling of bliss and fear.

At a subtle level, whatever thought (which includes observation, sequence and inference is concerned), is seen in a non judgmental way. Perhaps there is no inference at all – our existence is beyond any inferences.
