Death doesn’t have to bring things to an end. That we each have to tread a solitary path to beginnings or endings does. We mistakenly believe that there is certainty, that our bodies and minds herald and sustain what is beyond doubt. That reality is as it seems. Such is the pull of form and …
We go about our lives doing this and that. Seldom do we pause to consider that every thing we do, mental or physical sets up reliance on what is supposedly certain or mostly on what is supposedly good. This reliance embeds our dependency on body and mind. Why is this detrimental? Because, through our body …
Our usual way of thinking belies a basic flaw. That we are flesh and bone is undeniable. However, our considerations are a graver concern. When we equate what we are thinking, feeling and sensing with how we think we are, we compound our fixedness. The body as substrate is essentially static, no matter the complexity …
At some time or the other, we are prone to give credence to consideration about our self. While, this is natural, we seldom pause to verify if what we are thinking is true. What is true? Is the cup in front of me true? If we look closely, we realize that what we assume to …
We have to be wary of prescribing too much for ourselves. That we have a body and a mind is bad enough as it is. If we start laying the groundwork for additional encumbrances, we punish ourselves. It might be seen as too frivolous to say that we ought to give up or negate what …
There is a huge difference between insecurity and uncertainty. Uncertainty is a given and insecurity is both uncertainty and an exclusive focus on ourselves. Uncertainty is never incongruence. It is fuel for learning, even though we have to see it that way. If we are able to dissociate uncertainty from exclusive focus, we succeed in …
Somewhere along the path, we might get overcome. The anguish of being becomes unbearable. During such times, we begin to question our place and our purpose. Some suggest that there is none, that we are like automatons, being born, subsisting and then perishing. It is possible they miss one crucial thing about sentience. It is …
Strange as it might sound, an exclusive focus on ourself isn’t the intent, it might actually be the content. This means that any thought about ourself is an exclusive focus, any thought! It is difficult to imagine how one might distance oneself from such a focus. Say, you were walking to board your daily train. …
The rendering of the quality of proportion of any higher order system has a trajectory. The conduit or system that transmits is likely always fixed. The touchpoints of higher order and smaller order fields possibly house the capacity for flux. What is intervening (the conduit) is a medium for shifting phase, as it were. Say, …
Perturbation is a fact of the circumscription of essential magnitude. This means that immensity confers its property even within the inevitable decay of proportion. In that manner probability fields are downstream to freedom from probability. Considered in a simpler fashion, this implies that the process of involution is at one end of the trajectory that …
