Variables

 

Self worth, compulsion to control, the perception of situation and variables are interrelated. This is a discovery one needs to realize.

Any situation is true in terms of its perception by our mind. Meaning that the situation and ‘mind’ are inseparable (or are interconnected) and ‘mind’ represents a form of existence that generates a force of perception. A situation may seem holistic, if our mind can comprehend such; it can seem disconnected, if our mind perceives it so. A situation may have no variables (can appear unchanging) or can have billion variables (thus appearing to change extremely fast).

Thus, perception of variables is a tendency of the mind itself and with variables; we are now talking of scale of Time and scale of Space, in short – the scale of ‘change’. A cosmic scale of space-time indicates a particular perception of variables which change too slow (as compared to the phenomenon of the mind). The quantum scale of space-time indicates billions of variables that change too fast (as compared to the phenomenon of the mind). Hence, perception of manifestation is a phenomenon that includes how one perceives variables and their rate of change!

Perception of variable is an indication of ‘mind’ (or thought or vibration). Hence, if there are no variables, it means manifestation of space-time (of any scale) is not perceived and what is just experienced is a medium of consciousness (that exists prior to its expression in space-time).

In our daily lives, it means that ‘thought’ is a perception of the situation that may be expressed as sequence of variables. These transform or make our present state of mind. All feelings and intellect are informed by the perception of the variables (or feelings and intellect themselves constitute variables OR that the external and internal worlds are a distinction that we create for name sake purposes).

Thus, the question arises, what is the need to control anything? What does this compulsion indicate? If it indicates a deep rooted fear, is it the driver of discovering variables? With more discoveries of variables, situation appears more complex, stressful and it just fuels more insecurity and compelling us to devise more severe controlling mechanisms. To come face to face with a fear is the first step of knowing the intent of actions and the intent of continuing to be engaged with situations. If fear is inevitable part of existence (that we say a human form), then the next series of questions are pertaining to how does one ‘work’ with this reality?

Knowing self, meditation, working without expectations and being compassionate are instruments to work with the tendency of fear and to keep expanding our awareness till we perceive a state of ‘no variables’ (so no judgment or no evaluation or no justification or no compulsion or no competition). Slowing down, being attentive or mindful, being empathetic are also related requirements.  

Values

 

I was reading an article which I myself had written on ‘Information Explosion’ and it felt lovely to recall the patterns of thoughts it conveyed. Sometimes, one requires a meaningful reminder about the values one keeps pursuing – probably writing can assist one in doing so. I think, we live on account of values. Values means ‘awareness’ of phenomena, our role in it and the intent to be initiated for action. It endorses the idea of connections and relative truth (as a subset of absolute reality) and the idea of change/ manifestation/phenomena.

The fundamental equation of values to idea diagram to activities is applicable everywhere. We can say that what we are (as constructs) is the making of this Force called mind and mind has its own character of feelings and intellect. Mind is a vibration that constitutes a momentum and it perceives and conceives things. It exists everywhere – from microcosmic to macrocosmic scales. It is created on account of the character of consciousness to keep manifesting/ vibrating/ oscillating from space to matter and reverse. Memory is another word for mind. Memory and change are related. What we say as this or that is a play of perception or the effect of perception – like a mirage in the desert. Of course, one can never know this unless, one is able to connect with consciousness, whose character is not contained in any manifestation. Manifestation is a projection/ transformation of consciousness in other form. In this manifestation, perception/ memory occurs, changes occur, interconnections are a given, and ‘I’ is constructed.

So all thoughts arise from consciousness and they keep changing, keep oscillating, keep affecting us. Again, the focus is on “seeds” of thoughts that germinate into a form of character/ actions/ products.

All above things means values. Nowadays, a word is taken in an offensive way – or in a way that seeks justification or evaluation. The more subtle variables are expressed and evaluated, the more justification and control may be demanded from the complexity that is realized.

I think that more minute time scale of events, means more variables in the situation, means more differentiation, more fragmentation, more aggression and more control. The process of philosophy is the REVERSE of analysis. Philosophy’s main pledge is to remove the experience of differentiation of forms and names and to realize the Oneness in the apparent variety in life forms. By remaining in differentiation, we condition all our thoughts to enhance the individual’s ‘survival’ an account of fear of being diminished eventually. We lay expectations, desires and react based on our conditions on situations.

However, if at all we connect with larger life forces, the conditions of expressions drop down and we start to ‘offer’ our actions freely without any return. This switch of mindset is important to happen. This is the only way, the world can heal itself. Injury is in differentiation and healing is in connecting with everything.

The above observation can also be applied to character of societies or communities across the globe. When one means contemporary architecture, can we understand that architecture has been conceived in different value systems – some of them being highly exploitative to others that seem to be one with Nature? Isn’t it important to note and realize which values ought to be endorsed? And if appropriate values meant for Nature’s nourishment is made as a priority, then the definition of growth/ GDP/ development needs to be seriously reviewed.

There still exists a problem in today’s urban consciousness. Actions meant to respond to Nature’s nourishment, if coming from the realization of our individual survival, have a limitation, since decisions will continue to be compartmentalized. Actions, if at all coming from the realization of diminishing the mental boundaries of us and Nature have some validity. Herein lies the greatest of challenges for us. The pull of differentiation offered by AI verses the conscious intent of dissolving any sort of differences if arising by any kind of imagination.

 

Let it 'go'....and thrive!

 

Intellect and feelings are a force that makes us perceive our existence (connections with environment, idea of self and place of memory). It has been said before that ‘we’ perceive vibrations of consciousness – in terms of space, intent and matter (or consciousness, mind and body). Every known matter in the Universe is a phenomenon of space, force and matter. It remains interconnected with other phenomena and it perceives its own existence. In other words, ‘matter’ and the manner in which ‘it perceives’ others and how it is ‘perceived’ by others is interrelated. There is no perception without feeling the presence of matter and no matter has any existence unless it is perceived! Thus, are forms really present out there – is dependent on the manner of one’s perception (quality/ nature of perception).  Our perception can sense Universe as matter or force (thought/ intent) or pure consciousness. In each of these states, we will see the forms differently. Since all states are present in each and every corner and speck of Space, we remain connected with everything. If we choose to be affected by changes, it is an indication of our nature of perception. If we remain undisturbed/ tranquil/ still…..it means we have perceived consciousness as our own dimension and that is what we see everywhere. Thus, the Universe is a mirror or a reflection of ‘our’ state of mind. One will send signal and receive signals and be affected depending on one’s own making. Thus the experience of manifestation is relative.

In this scope of perception, we then should realize what do feelings and intellect do to our nature of perception? Do they expand our awareness or instill fear (contraction)?   The entire Universe can be seen harbouring any kind of intent, since it is ‘we’ who generate this thought. In terms of feelings, we may choose to practice love and surrender and service – all these helping us to expand our mind. In terms of intellect, we may use the ability to analyse situations and decode the nature of existence and the extent to which ‘control’ or ‘perfection’ is to be practiced and to let go of many unknown variables.

It is from the Unknown variables, that ‘known’ variables are formed. Meaning, that there is no limit to the digging of minutest of variables. However, more minute the variables, more compulsion to control them and more tendency of accelerated rate of change exhibited by those variables. Hence, more analysis or dissection, leads to more noise, chaos and faster changing world. Result is increased self induced stress.

Thus, the core of existence needs to be realized. For what do we exist? What is it that we aim to do? What is purpose? And what is to be decided? All these are important questions to continue pursuing.
