Shree: Presence of the Past

 

Shree: Presence of the Past

In what way does subtleness affects sequences and visibility is beyond current intellect’s potential. This is to be accepted with full faith.

What a nice thing if one remembers values of connection, silence, tranquility, movement, climate, life forms….that can guide one eternally to create anything! Of course, creation starts with God (as nature of His Being); we can contribute to harness tranquility.

I am not so particular about cleanliness and systems – they may mean suppresion of variety, absolute control, strong hierarchy, and barrenness of the mind and disrespect for memory or anything of the past.

I am only suggesting here what conditions and peceptions one has about one’s own environment and the answer to this may lie in deep recesses of civilizations from myth, traditions, culture and what that reflects as actions, activites, art and architecture. If one ‘sees’ a temple, one is sure that the origin of this building type is rooted maybe even in prehistoric times and that is one way in which the Past talks to us or makes Its presence relevant today. The cave paintings for example, done in 8000 BCE (Bhimbetka) can suggest how we seem to have arrived ‘now’.

So it all depends on how is this ‘I’ perceived and what is the role of memory in this? Is ‘I’ always there as past-present-future or is it only tied with present time?
