In the silent of my mind away from that dense realm of matter which engulfs one’s being; somehow one may observe that which is, not that which is seen through a veil. It is time for meditation and discover a realm which is not subjected to the scrutiny of the senses or it is a movement towards progressing away from the noise, the frailties and the conditioned state.
In this silence, intelligence is awakened and at that moment there rises a being not confounded by the invariable modes in which one is sucked in regardless of who one is except of course those who has adopted the path of a seer. This of course is aimed by those of us who are still fully immersed in that pool of materialism where the mind is the enemy, and its being is taken away by the mundane in that arena where one is a mere pawn…. where one easily drifts away sometimes here and sometimes there and everywhere. Stillness is not there. All there is a perpetual flickering away of one’s time in a flux world which passes us by. The concern is a futuristic planning whilst what is there is missed or let’s say neglected.
At the rise of intelligence in that silence there awakens a friend …. That same mind which has taken shelter of the self the being which one veritably is. The flickering mind is at the mercy of the reactionaries and easily governed by what it perceives via a veil. However, when that same mind is turned towards that self that one is, there is a shift in consciousness from the superficial towards a transcendental realm as it links towards one’s quintessence which is not a product of that bodily or mental self.
The bodily self has its own attraction in that all it cares for is comfort and a case of seeking of happiness and avoidance of pain which of course is impossible as one gets the other regardless of whether one wants it or not. Sorrow follows happiness as darkness follows light. The pairs of opposites may never be avoided. So, in complicity with the mental self; the bodily one achieves and sometimes attains remarkable achievements in the realm of the material but again all is done in that realm of the impermanent where it is always in flux which may never be at the next moment as things may change so swiftly.
The bodily-self wishes to hold on it as pleasures are abound in that form; That idea of enjoying more and more. The senses are raised to an optimum and demands more of the same. Let’s enjoy says the bodily self to its comrade the mental self and so they co-exist in that form of ignorance and passion. The former only knows to enjoy without limit. The mental self sometimes asks his comrade to pause but mostly he is carried away by his friend who has shown him a different modal lifestyle away from its source, or its real or essential self. There may not be any turning away from that since one leads the other and as a team; they experience a crude aspect of life based on enjoyment and similar worldly pleasures.
On the other hand, awaiting elsewhere is that other non -physical or mental self which is there and readily awaits a call. But this friend is a special one. He simply witnesses what is around and about but rarely interferes. Indeed, if one seeks to be involved in brutalities or other rudeness, he simply acquiesces. Likewise, if the individual wishes to be involved in positivism, again the onlooker simply is there…. not to interfere but as the silent observer.
Most of the time, it is via the mental self is far too busy in its daily routine where things operate. Too busy, busy, busy, busy! In that mode of being, one is merely a living pawn simply an automaton at the mercy of an almost suffocated mind which may not think. Or rather it is so polluted in the conditioned state that it fails to perceives what is about. In a way it is a reminiscence of the efficient technocrat who is so engrossed that one may never find time to reconnect with the self.
What is revealed is a fragmented being which is corrupted by the exterior …. a kind of a moving into a separatism form of being. Indeed, one may never know or perceive the whole since most of what witness is via fragmentation or seen partially.
At synergy time, one engages with that self which one truly is. It is a meditative way of being where one no longer revel in or crave about and or attribute royalty that is recognition to the parts in which one is submerged. In truth all of life is so governed from the moment one wakes up, one is surrounded with specialists or expert in a particular field…. Again, all of which based via a bodily and or mental way whilst ignoring in the process the whole. That we are used to be involved in specifics and details and minutiae is more than obvious. Seems to be the way things are and one accepts this as the modal way of being. There is no time to pause or reconnect with one’s being. Best if one lives a superficial mode where the little free time one has is reinvested in other equally other similar modes that of either remaining or maintaining off the bodily self and or where one moves away from this at best towards a further fragmented mode.
How may one see that beauty of life as it presents itself? As for instance on a clear summer day, it is about further enjoyment to the detriment of witnessing that realm of the non-partial. Because we have lived so much in that realm of the partial; it has become almost a compulsion to view things indeed everything through that way of being. Instead of witnessing nature as it reveals the search is for those pleasures which further entangled us into captivity.
Verily it is a challenged to be…… hence the meditation. Are you ready for it?
