Feelings are universal.
Consciousness is universal – a medium prevalent in all. The phenomenon of
existence is universal – leading to identification with the mind and body. The
composition of mind has an impulse of hunger, fear and meaning. The impulse of formlessness
to form and viceversa is universal and unstoppable. In the force of creation
and transformation – the forces of dilemma, negotiation, struggle, resolution,
conflicts, relativity, bipolarity, attachment, freedom, diversity,
interdependence among variables, individualism and comprehensiveness are
universal in all.
We need to accept these
dimensions as a phenomenon of creation. They will exist. And perhaps further
dimensions also exist depending on the capacity of the brain. Hence, space has
limitless potential of transformation. Having known this and having understood
that these forces need to be nurtured in a way that become beneficial to all,
the next step is to understand that divine potential exists in each one of us
(along with the devil side). This divine quality is to be nurtured, focused,
practiced. This quality is generally concerned with interdependence, the idea
of pattern and recurrence and the ability to remain connected with all. This
can happen only when one understands consciousness and the components of
community (universal connect), feelings and the sharpening of the intellect to
generate compassion.
Hence, it doesn’t matter what
situations come your way and how people treat you – you are just playing with
your own mind. Finally, whatever that causes a barrier between the idea of
‘you’ and consciousness needs to be dissolved. Fear is the root cause (other
word is ignorance). Whatever you see around as objects and concepts have
intentions. These remain the same wherever you go, whatever place you be,
whatever position you are, whichever time you choose. Place, people, time – all
are just variables that give a particular flavor to the tendencies that exist
in a human mind. Age, gender, language, ethinicity, religion are just variables
(constructs) that give particular flavours to a universal tendency of the
phenomenon of coming to a definite form called ‘existence’. In other words, it
is man made. Which also means, that these constructs can be dissolved to reveal
a pattern of connectedness and the qualities of space and time. Whoever says
that a particular position or a person or a place or a society or a situation
can be better than the present set of variables is fooling you. Any situation
of existence is only a trigger to generate thoughts. Thus, ‘situation’ is in
fact neutral. Then what gives it flavor? Our thoughts. Do thoughts exist
despite a situation of space and time – probably no. The moment there is a
combination of space and time, there is existence and therefore, there is the
birth of mind. The conflict arising in the mind is the awareness that thoughts
are uncontrollable and there is an inherent conflict of clinging (worldly
security) and of freedom (to go beyond). This conflict is so intrinsic, that
probably it is a fundamental impulse of creation – from void to form and back
to void. If one sees this conflict just as it is, then the impulse of reacting
because of labeling, differentiating, identifying, clinging will lose its
steam. Then, it may become easier to carry on with our ‘duty’ and focus on good
thoughts without any expectations.
