That one may not be is no longer simply a proposition discussed as a plain philosophical exercise or just confined as in some theological quarters. The threat posed in the current climate with the world on its knees is an act which makes all that more than a theory is here rather than there. A sudden realisation that all those warnings that one is on a seven days’ notice not to be is suddenly being realised.One may no longer take shelter in postponing facing life as it is. Choose to do that and one has missed the whole point of being. Verily this no longer an option. Non existence is staring at us and ever ready to pounce!
There is a need to live in the here and now with the question of how would one live if there were a notice from life that exit may after all be sooner than one thinks. It is already written that one needs to take heed of the warning already put in place as one may no longer run away from that stark reality of non being or a project that one may no longer be a for itself but clobbered into an itself when others may do what they wish with oneself both physically and or subtly as the power to a abnegate the other’s take on oneself would have gone.
We also noted that the notice was always there except that in non authentic way of being, one would be running away. That one need not simply have exceptional circumstances to face the self. The warning that one may not be is always there. The Vedic sages talk of the fact that every step there is danger as one steps out within the material world, putting the subject on guard whilst the aspect of the notice as per above again were scrutinised as being absolutely to the point in that each and everyone is as per that notice except one does not know when one may not be. Or it may be any of the seven days except that one carry on running away from life whilst for instance the call is to pause and halt and re intention that is aim to do that which one should always be doing at all times in any case.Where this is not the case, one is deemed to be spurious and always running away from life as it is whether it is with not being there or facing that life tune as it unfolds. It is fine to be lost in projects and or engaging in aspects of life which takes one away but from oneself or that false consciousness of having a false ego syndrome where one feels that verily one is the lord of what one surveys. That kind of consciousness forces puts one at that mundane level of always trying to be lost in other projects and never being there or here facing that tune of being. As one takes the proactive step and moves from that superficial, there is a commencement at realising that life is not only about oneself but the other, indeed all others also have a being, a value, some value which due to ‘my’ purview always ignores the other about us even at the point of violence and or annihilating for one’s physical upkeep as if there are no other ways.
Superficial living also makes the subject justifies violence and those who are accomplices of non ahimsa view also adopts a theology of denigrating and or denying some living entities the right to life as they carry on plundering on others. The mundane has no limits as to what extent it may carry its speculative life at creating injustices.That there is call to precisely question life as it is may not be even realised as what may be happening in this current climate of halt may simply be a little fudge , a temporary affair and yes will say the naïve, back to what we were doing, is round the corner.
Calling to question everything is in a big way, nature calling time to make one looks at the self at the way of life so far li as if there were no tomorrow and or that it was always about being entangled in that materialistic culture. That humanoids have been asked to be at a halt is no simple matter. Ignore the signs of the times and one will be annihilated into oblivion. There is a cry for despair and and humanoids are forced into a retreat not of choice but coercing. Nature is calling on us to be diligent and prudent as pray take note. Can we take note of these warnings? Or shall we ignore and carry on engaging with our organised religions and other ‘sacrifices’ aimed to please a chosen deity or other highly elevated being? Is it time to re-intention? If so, how may one work in cooperation, with nature and with the other living entities who has have been spared the disaster awaiting humans if the latter fails to see what needs doing and what what needs not doing?
May one works in cooperation with others rather than using and abusing others! May there be a real change to one’s lifestyles? Nature has pronounced already. That it may not take it any longer, those petty and voracious ways at prying on the other life forms. Is it time fellow humanoids to awake from that culture of a non ethical way of being on towards another mode where no other may be subjected to hatred, torture, violence whilst depriving some the right to be. Is it time to awake and or re-intention one’s life no longer in that mode of the mundane but a way where every other is equally valued. What if one simply ignore such warnings? A world in lockdown. …where one is asked to simply asked to: STOP…..Pause…..Reflect. The question is if not now when. The alternative is that there is always a danger of apocalypse now as one already begun to witness. A world order based on nativity, superficiality, hatred and non-operation, where the less abled are down trodden upon, where they had had no say, where they have been taken for granted for centuries?
May one question everything? Or the basics of how one has been living? From anything to everything! Or just wait for it to get better so one may get to the way of being pre world lockdown. The question is will this ever be possible to indulge carry on that way of life which was taken for granted based on denial of others. The choice is about a how to be or else nature will interfere to put sense in the ruling species. Meanwhile, what has been always on the agenda needs be taken hold of and scrutinised…..
