Our purpose.....

a traumatic co-existence with wanting to discover my "purpose" in life has been a loyal presence for much of my life. a sense of "meaninglessness" has crippled me for the most part. It has paralysed me, rendered me non-functional. Second hand concepts , be they borrowed from ayn rand or jiddu or bach, have remained just that, concepts.I have nothing against various concepts, but seeing them for what they are , just "concepts" and projections far removed from my actual reality has helped me. I remember a prolific creator in the written medium, "osho" once creating a beautiful and expensive product. It found a lot of takers; who found just 1 line scripted inside; write your own story.....the entire book was blank...

Borrowed concepts , to me are like reading a map.They can never substitute for the actual act of visiting the place. They serve as indicators in the realms of human consciousness; but they are just that and nothing more. My "experiences" are uniquely mine, but where spiritual processes have helped me are to grow in my "abilities" or "capacities" to experience. For me , there has been a move away from "contents" of events or processes to an emphasis on "seeing" them non-judgementally. "Seeing" itself has been an "universe" of explore, with levels of my abilities to really "see" emerging....

The process saw a reshifting of my basic questions, a re-orientation of perceptions, which intrinscally had answers...or rather a dissolution of certain conflicts....my tools of explore also witnessed changes...i discovered faculties beyond the mind....this emerged from a realization that when the mind and its content is part of my conflict, it can atbest rearrange the conflicts.a solution or dissolution of the conflicts have to emerge from realms beyond the mind.The intrinsic attributes of the mind make it a wonderful tool for addressal of issues such as the creation of a chair or a car or a software programme....we have to use the mind; but a fundmental discrepancy I observed was that the mind with its accumalations has begun using us....and that creates the absence of joy and love and such other things that we aspire for...

we try to fit our lives into "concepts" that we have accumalated...because of a fundamental "incapacity" of the mind on such deliverables.....Conflict is an intrinsic quality of the mind as it is.....a residue forever remains on the best of our decisions...our "concepts" of right and wrong, good or bad, are forever dynamic and contextual.

me, the creator

a lot creativity in the world seems to have emerged from anger, frustrations etc which have been redirected to awesome creative expressions. While it has found an outlet for expression, it has rarely, if ever , managed to effect "healing" of the creator..the frustrations have remained, if not augmented...ready examples abound....leading one to wonder whether projected ideals and concepts are just that..projections of the mind....in a conscious or unconscious escape from immediate realities...I have personally gone through this process...where there is a tendency to move away from my immediate reality into realms of "projected ideals". I have tended to escape my failings by ascribing it to larger canvases..i have moved away from my centre....of influence as well as responses. My explores into this situation have been startling and very illuminating....I have discovered my universe to be my own creation..the creation of thoughts as they occur through me..teh thoughts themselves have their seeds in mental formations and conditionings "collected" over lifetimes of human existence...the entire human consciousness flows through me..i tune in to some part of it...i have watched my self being a prisoner of blueprints, good or bad as my perceptions would tend to describe it.Personal crises have explored and discovered ways of releasing oneself from the same, i gratefully acknowledge my spiritual master who has been a key enabler for me....various aspects of the enabling process and related expressions have formed part of this blog from time to time...and would continue doing so....

if u experience the suffocation of life....as i have, a stranglehold emerging from unfathomable domains, generally blackboxed into words such as "God".....mebbe my sharings would serve as a mirror....there is no uniformity in the express of human conditions, but if we carefully observe, there is a stark universality in life processes and mechanisms...the fundamentals of misery and conflict remain the same; their triggers and formats of expression may be different...

from here and there...

thoughts-the creator

thoughts viz. the energy of thoughts create events in our lives...and thoughts emerge from the bank of mental conditionings and perceptions, both individual and collective acquisitions. If events unsuitable to our desires are arising consistently, it is imperative to become aware of thought patterns which manifest it.The moment we are aware, the crippling patterns are released and we begin manifesting a success pattern. While immediate causes may be there, the root causes are critical for healing oneself of chronic patterns.When we encounter failures in our endeavours, we normally manage our disappointment through a blame game. We find reasons to justify the event.While not condemening the act, it is imperative to note that this does not enable our movement forward. As an event/artistes enabler, it has been my privilege to watch successes as well as failures. Neither of them necessarily have been solely a comment on skill or talent levels.But attitude has made a lot of difference.Some people are able to conserve higher energies by being more forgiving, less judgemental and less resentful.Huge pockets of creative energies are released thus. On the other hand, I have seen greatly talented people fail on account of their acute positionalities on various issues and aspects of life, a tendency to judge incessantly and dissipate a lot of energies through general cribbing. These have a direct impact on creative flows. While we may label different kinds of energies, energy is fundamentally one.Low self esteem as well as arrogance in our abilities is also a critical energy pattern for a lackof manifests.Humbleness and gratitude, emerging in a recognition of the spiritual process of creating is an absolute essentiality for manifests, as is perceiving oneself as part of the larger collective process.

When I talk of success here, I imply the genius level oF ACHIEVEMENT.

man's choice

Man has two choices; to live within the realms of the mind or to move away from it. True fulfilment is impossible within the realms of the mind on account of its intrinsic attributes. Joy and love are attributes of a flowered heart, a movement away from the realms of the mind...the flowering of the heart is enlightenment.
-Sri Bhagavan

my take-home......in awareness, Man can choose joy and love over misery and suffering.

an inspiration from einstein...

as I have observed it....Man's evolution into higher realms of consciousness is a direct factor of the extent of his awareness on his own levels of ignorance of the basics of life....

Nothing divides one so much as thoughts.

cancers of the mind....

Bitterness and resentment are cancers which eat into our creativity.Man has a tendency to focus on what has not happened rather than on what has happened.Me , personally, I have learnt to see happenings as manifests of Grace...if our manifests are not happening in accordance with our needs, we have to explore the domains of conditioning within from which they are emerging and heal those domains.Thus, on the surface , we may be projecting a great nobleness of intent in keeping with our projected ideals, but what matters in the manifest of our intents is surfacing of our subconscious and unconscious aspirations, arising from conditionings that are as ancient as man itself.

Man requires to be healed of his deep-seated conditionings for genuine manifestation to occur.And this healing is very simple.....to be aware of each emergence in our life and see our helplessness there...all of us are victims of excessive positionalities, deep rooted mental conditionings and perceptions, all of which are inhibitive.Growth in awareness and an expansion in consciousness are the key for our development into limitless realms of existential potentials.

strange choices...

Sometimes very baffling to observe people and watch their choices...emotions are energy and they energize our actions..we chose fear over confidence; misery over joy..some of us infact feel guilty about happy/joyous moments....we energize our own efforts with negativity....blessing it with failure....

Sufi Wisdom

Go sweep out the chamber of your heart.Make it ready to be the dwelling place of the Beloved.When you depart, He will enter.In you, void of yourself, will He display His beauties.
Mahmud Shabistari, Rose Garden of Mystery (13th century):
