Analysis is unending. But it is required only to understand the vastness of any phenomenon – may be loneliness or any other concept. What one feels may have some relation with the society, social conditions, historical attitudes, aspirations and one’s tendencies. In the craze for production and individuality, there is hardly any common experience that can be shared – hence all experiences become disconnected with the larger perception of existence and that makes the individual experiences also meaningless! This means that an anchored sense of identity should be informed by universal shared experiences and the individual forms. The individual can only exist meaningfully as a function of the whole (in relation to or in comparison with). Therefore one of our thoughts will always be about doubts, struggles, dilemmas, reviews, recall, retrospection, introspection, contemplation and so on. This is required, since it is a sign of relation with the universal cosmos and the more such awareness is; more is the struggle that one is required to face. I am not sure about the idea of inheritance and how and why am I made in this manner and how I will go ahead and what befalls – I am not sure of anything. I only know that I exist, or there is ‘I’ that has come in this world with some relations, conditions, change and perception baggage and aspirations. This will cause some movement of imagination (movement of place and time) and this movement is not just physical but mental (mindscape movement). Since the mindscape moves or changes, a change in space and time is felt.

Therefore what is encountered and seen and watched is the movement. This cant be stopped. It exists – movement exists, so there are vibrations that exist, they come together and rise up to thoughts and they make us perceive forms and then they dissolve or change. This change happens and is in not in ‘the form’s’ control. Change happens and is an eternal process like that of Being’s existence. the Being’s presence causes vibrations and change to occur depending on our relationship (imagination) with the Being.

All forms know an impending death and the incompleteness they have. How can this be fulfilled? Material abundance is no guarantee of peace  - neither is anything of manifestation. What comes, becomes, manifests is going to go one day and will get dissolved and broken into a formless character. The form is as much important as is the formless nature of things. But forming and dissolving is the nature of existence which should be engaged with – or engagement for the same is required. Hence the sorting of our thoughts and remembrance of the nature of existence is required.

As I look back, then there need not be any evaluation in terms of the decisions and situations that have been encountered so far and what has led to what – we should outgrow this cycle of perceiving, adding meaning, responding and so on. Be at peace, for there is no such thing as this or that or here or there or small or big or correct or incorrect or fast or slow or one or many.

A place (and we all know where that is) can represent an extreme concept of individualism, production, competition, pace, fragmentation,  isolation, sophistication and so on. Personally it is difficult for me to encounter such an environment for it seems to disintegrate the essence of what I cherish. But again, there is no right or wrong here – it is a matter of preference.

There is also a place where a high premium on sharing, asking, discussing, organic planning, feelings, cyclic patterns, slowness, relationship, acriticalness is expressed. But individual voices may get squashed or have no place in this environment. Again, it all depends on the temperament of the person to like or dislike such a place.

I chose to give two examples to suggest that things will always be incomplete and we will always ask for something more/ different. We will insist in balancing things out, but the balance can’t be an intellectual pursuit. Balance is realized in any situation and a given situation does not guarantee inner balance.

We only have one guarantee – that of Existence and not of manifestation. So have a reality check on this.
