We are ‘I’ – a construct from a phenomenon of Existence. This ‘I’ primarily sees itself as formal/ causal. There are grades of causal relationships starting from vibrations to forces to forms. This leads to our perception of existence either as ‘forms’ or as ‘forces’ or as ‘vibrations’ or as the Truth. Hence the causal phenomenon is in the mind (or the state of the mind).

This causal relationship makes us stay engaged with a particular changing scenario or signals. This may be referred as ‘states of ego’.

The mystery is that although this may be felt, the “intent” of understanding this phenomenon cannot be egoistic or to escape or to find escape at whatever cost or anything else – apart from realization. Even any single parameter of whatever purest of intents can lead to a certain causal relationship (cycles of reincarnation).

Currently the problem with the intellect is to apply “logic” from a limited frame of mind – only logical and intensify expectations and planned changes and outputs and productions. This behavior is problematic. Even if it is chosen to be applied to something as Truthful as philosophy, the philosophical approach (message) will get distorted to a mere logical causal expectation and the message would not be interpreted in its true spirit.

Therefore the seers say – that Principles of philosophy, although “understood” by the intellect, are required to be applied. In application itself, one realizes with what intent were the Principles understood – whether completely or superficially or comprehensively or mysteriously.

This also indicates that realization is a process of transformation that should include everything that our existential dimension gives us – from vibrations to forces and forms; and NOT just intellect.

It also means that trust is important. It also means that there maybe something as apriori existence (even before intellect has set in or has manifested). This means there maybe something as noumenon (Ref. Kant) that always existed prior to any phenomenon.

In our day to day lives, this means that pressure of performance, ego, change is required to loosen up as awareness of subtle states increases. This awareness leads to different questions, different approaches, different ideas of trust and different feelings.

This is the journey that one undertakes.
