Shree: Present

 Shree: Present

Present is a feeling of dwelling as a form of existence – so it will “create” may connections out of the property of vibrations that it harnesses – this depends on awareness. It has always been about existence and how that expresses in terms of our ‘own’ awareness. From that perspective everything becomes an encounter of vibrations, intellect, feelings and from that any phenomenon or a pattern of geography or environment or any concept of the self and may generate presence of cosmos, ancestors, belonging, connections, social relations, mythology, and meaning…all this rolled into the self. Self is ‘not’ an individual. An individual is a construct just as a community can also be a construct. Hence whether individual is a good way of living as compared to a tribal mindset is not the inquiry here – since both are forms of self. The more important inquiry would be what form of self becomes peaceful to dwell and this is either a historical idea or something to be discovered every time. So the second approach would be more phenomenological than historical, although history may offer some clues to the principles of dwelling. Present or past or future hence is a historical idea or is a phenomenological one and unless it isn’t acknowledged as a phenomenological idea, we may not find answers to the most relevant aspects of dwelling.
