our universe..created by our minds...

couple of interesting posts on fellow blogger spaces on the horrific things wo/man is capable of inflicting on him/herself and on others...

guess, happy people spread happiness and cheer, unhappy people can only spread what they intrinsically possess, deep down...to me, the energy one brings into shared space is a critical aspect....while one may try to be good and caring conceptually, what manifests is the conflicts within...

while welfare and immediate perspectives are called for at individual and collective levels , somewhere one has to explore the root causes which contribute to such happenings...every human life is a story, a saga...a legacy of pain and suffering acquired from hurts, fears, conflicts etc...and this finds manifestation in the world outside...more often than not...

horror stories of abuse such as the ones shared are more frequent than one would like it to be....neither is it limited to the under-privileged or the illiterate...add to this , subtle dominations, mind games of one upmanship and various other automated reactionary patterns, as i see them;

the kurukshetra within the mind is what manifests outside...the mind is the creator of our universes...

beautiful things also co-exist, but fewer and far in-between...

life, to me is an artform to be savoured and celebrated....but , somehow, the most beautiful things tend to get convoluted and contorted....joy and love sacrificed at the altar of dead habit and unconscious mechanizations....within mind space...

moot question....do events cause suffering or vice versa....

for me, the reality is that the external world is a manifest of our inner state of being, both at micro and macro levels...individually and collectively....emerging from deeply set patterns of mental formations and conditionings...

to liberate oneself, one needs to take responsibility...it does not matter who or what caused it...and assigning blame....that takes us no where. just maintains or aggravates the status quo...we owe it to ourselves to break free.....of stifling patterns that create a blueprint of our lives and imprison us within...

integrity in awareness...the key....
