One of the most difficult thing to work is in cooperation. Externally, in spite of being in a relationship with another there is still a lack, everywhere regardless of the façade that may or may not be put upfront. Whenever we have more than than the self that we are, always some non agreement emerges in that cooperation or the idea of working together may not quite be there. It is verily a rare thing to develop a sense of togetherness where one naturally emerges as a synergy. There is always a self or ego withdrawal and so one remains ensnared in a pool of confusions and with this being there is never an spontaneous way to be. It is all about a me-ism, a sense of trying to remain in a fragmented way where one does not see any sense of being together and or working with others. At best all is about working alongside the other in a fixed cause and where this is so, it is possible to wretch away and see the logistics of being there, and with one another which may not be possible otherwise. The lack of a common goal where tries to get others involved are by far a distant cry as that spirit or link binding one to others may not be. To be sure, one has to espouse a certain way of being or else the whole exercise is frivolous or lacks that essence which may keep one together. The defining gap always are there but it is onwards to that motto which one is searching for that moment which verily is in a non temporal unison.
It is a search for a common element, ground to try making sense of the horrors in which we are caught up with…the latter by virtue of divisions always expose a lack of being. The latter emerges where and when one is free from hatred and is apt towards a freedom from anger, tranquility , compassion to one and all not only those to which we have an affinity, gentleness and in spirit of forgiveness where one moves onwards and forwards away from the kind of traumatic existence we are exposed to at least pre lockdown days with non personalism and rudeness being the measure of being where all was/ is aspect of divisions par excellence, a way of life where one is always at the mercy of the modes of the superficial even if it be goodness let alone the other ways of ignorance and passionate forms. To be sure, we are always on doing this, that and the other, leaving crumbles to face up to the self that one is. There is almost an obsession to be on or that we may never be, and aspects of for ever playing a role as is expected rather than being who one is. To be sure, authentic-ness is loss in the process which takes the ego self on trip…. From which one never recovers from. Acceptance of the norm, and a relentless call to avoid and or try and lives in a world of automaton where there is hardly time to face up to reality.
A call towards simplicity at the interpersonal and impersonal level is called for where one attempts to break through from the limbo of being…where life is perhaps seen in its appropriate mode of togetherness. Verily, one is never that disconnected even in so-called norma times and yet when the chips are down as per the global confinement, it dawns on us in some ways that one is never that fragmented albeit in its negative mode. The lesson from Wuhan is that is there is no hiding place from any single action. The latter even at the remotest part of the world suddenly will catch up with us somehow, sooner or later and one ignores at one risk. Interesting that in spite of this the arrogant and the vulgar still cherish ideas of separatism and or trying to seek a patch up solution via a reactionary approach whilst putting a front of expertise that things may be resolved piecemeal without a concerted and globally united effort. Or let’s say there is a running away from perceiving the problem as it is in manners that one fails to see logistics of life as revealed and about us.
At the personal level, two parties within a relationship always have their own agenda plus aspirations where there is a lack, where there is a pull away factor meeting rarely in a synergy of being but always at placing the bigoted self at the fore. As one moves on from the partnership of being on to the local community and nation, again that fierce divisions come to the fore with each pulling way in different direction. There seems to be little agreement unto how to be and where one looses all sense of being where what one sees are frictions on a grand scale.
Look at the way society is organised and swiftly one may see that there is a problem at the base of being. It is a forever running away. How does one emerge from a catastrophe of ailing way to be? How does one moves away from factions, fractions and frictions? Or are we just doomed towards an uncertainty in that the only thing one may observe as being certain is that nothing will be certain even at that level of running away in madness and not facing up to that reality.
Sure, even at the non material level, there is are divisions abound. Do it this away. Follow this , that and the other and by doing so, again that same notorious fragment emerges where one by virtue of trying to move away create another form which still sow seeds of hatred. The problems facing life is one of appreciating one’s in situation and perhaps working from there onwards….with perhaps that one needs placing at the core a way of being which is fragment-free and away from aspects sees one as a threat or create divisions for one to thrive on.
Verily a question of checking the base of the self and work onwards and forwards. May one develop such a non fragmented consciousness of being which sees no separation or is one simply contaminated to be in a mode of perpetual despair, anger, frictions along with its hatred and violence. How does one rise from that arrogant self? A question of taming one’s being! Take heed and there may yet be hope. Ignore and disaster is always awaiting to happen…..unless one bewares!
A discordance of being…….
