Living from moment to moment is always viewed to be adventurous and another way to be. It is a carefree and seems an ideal mode of being where one may just take things spontaneously. The flip side of which is that one is simply caught up in things about us and that we are but mere reactionaries.
Reactionaries by nature has nothing worthwhile to contribute. They fumble along content to be in a culture of passivity where one seems not to contribute if any at all to the way things reveal to us. To live things as they are means that we just sit back and react, and or over react when and if there is a need to.
And so; moments go by and the hours, days and months and years. In the process we are mere puppets having been thrown in a world and await and or just remain in a consumer trend where one is unable to or let us say feels no need to be dynamic.
We are not active but in a state of ignoramus through our own making where our contributions are aspects of patching up here and there based on what is thrown at us echoing the idea of chewing the chewed.
This means that we are part of the mass of the modern proletariat which sell its labour to the establishment in return to be involved in some specific and clearly defined specialism. It is obvious that this is so since most of the time any act of involvement over and beyond the call of duty may not be. It is all seems futile and truncated since what has emerged out of mass expertise; is a kind of Delta or epsilon (Cf: Orwellian terms) who simply function robot style within an ensnared system.
Any contribution may only be lip service to others who are equally victims of mere beings in the world. Yet there is a sense of efficiency with which one seems to go about one’s business; all by way of reaction if at all as this is indeed part of coexisting in a world of highly technical and sophisticated aspects of specialism.
We are all to a large extent in that mode of passivism where all we do for instance is abide and or indeed accept the diktat of the experts who knows whereas we do not know. Whether it is by a mere cross in the ballot box or accepting what the other says as regards our participation in life is simply a matter of listening to the highly sophisticated experts. It is a way one has chosen life to be and there seems to be no way out of it except to merely acknowledge that there are others highly efficient in looking at specifics….. hence our own specialism in our chosen field of work.
In another mode of being one may also take up a passionate way to be and be involved in some cause which makes one moves out of a state of ignorance towards being active but that activity is again based on a plan as set out by others and again all we do is be involved as per others directives. The point is that is it possible to be move out of these modes and adopt a more proactive mode to be? What would that entail? Perhaps one of cautiousness in moving forward! Perhaps one of questioning our whole modal way of being! Or perhaps one of not merely be subjugated to the mundane ways of being.
In moving away from the material modes where our existence is polluted with forms of just being there and or acting as per what some others say and indeed from our own pettiness; to a more proactive approach one is there so to speak rather than having some others there for one. It is a vision to be where one has actively sought out a means to be above and beyond the modes as defined by the ways of being subdued or subjugated into surrender without even trying.
The call here in this mode is to move to that knowledge which transcends the material modes with its clearly ill-conceived ways which incessantly simply logs one in surrender and so a vicious circle emerges where we just give in as if there is no other way out. The process of moving out of surrender or the transformation of reactionary into pro-activity is a state of to be sure not being a jack of all trade but verily a question of being wholly responsible for the self that one is rather than giving in to the mind. Indeed a question of awakening one’s intelligence to clearly witness the grandeur of life ………not via a veil where some populists or other similar reactionaries may seek to plunge us into based on the superficial but to verily engage oneself with the dialectics of life.
That dialectics is a way to be where one may perceive life as it is not as what someone may want it to be for us. It is a question of being there by way of for ever being vigilant whilst taking note of what is revealed not from a particular perspective but one of acknowledging. Let us say that it is very much a question of exposing rather than being imposed upon.
With this being so; it is also a question of getting back to the self that one is rather than being held to ransom by the mind. In this latter mode, one’s goal is clear. Nay; no other may claim royalty over one’s own participation within the world. Verily intelligence going above and beyond the mind warns us to attempt seeing clearly one’s goal or let us even pronounce the goal in the horizon. Loose it and one simply wavers around being unsure what to do and sometimes one gives in to others who may have a different agenda based on their way of being as per a closed mind.
The question is very much that of being clear and keeping sight of that goal at all times and one way of doing so is to have a plan as to how to reach it. Unfortunately, most of us do not have a life goal and with this being so it is no surprise that vultures are always around preying on victims. Life is very much a question of wising up through one’s intelligence and finding out that elusive life goal rather than be a victim of our mind which may lead us astray through acceptance of demagogic others. Pray appeal to intelligence so that the mind becomes a friend.
