DripplesDripples (drops n' ripples) attempts to invite a relook at our current definitions, at what we know and don't know, of our selves, at health and of life itself, and perhaps have a perspective that is new.

When speaking about human anatomy, we are largely spoken about as having just 2 parts - mind and body. Our health is said to be good enough when mind and body are functioning within the range of normal and our definition of 'normal' implies a sync between the 2. Also, our idea of 'normal' is almost synonymous with our idea of 'at least at the lower to mid level of healthy.'
I have referred here to 2 sets of vague terms having a prejudiced 'in common understanding' as having a collective agreement on the definition of these terms, when in fact if specifically asked for the definition of 'mind' 'body' 'normal' or 'healthy,' we are likely to encounter a range of values from vague to expertise, with experts variously defining 'mind' as pointing to the head but expressing characteristics that is a mix of sensory, psychological, energetic, and everything else other than tissues, and 'body' as nothing but tissues. ('Normal' and 'healthy' requires perhaps a full post each on the differences in opinion about them and the impact of lack of clarity about these on the sense of well-being of individuals and collectives. Without a well-defined goal {'normal' and 'healthy' are names of goals too} where is the journey towards? Perhaps in the general direction of it, where if the law of average applies, considering the degree of variation in the understanding of these terms, there is the risk of 'looking London going Tokyo.') It would not be radical reductionism to distil the dichotomy to just 2 basics - visible and invisible - where our collective idea of 'body' may refer to the visible and that of 'mind' to the invisible. All around us are various objects that are made up of matter and energy (visible, invisible). For that matter, 'object' and 'subject' are again visible and invisible, respectively, in conceptual understanding with matter and object versus energy and subject ranging on a see-saw scale hinged on a threshold of tolerance, so to speak, before one gets converted into the other. (Our nature of 'Reality' is not dissimilar, for we see ideas getting converted into products everyday and products giving rise to ideas in their own time.) In reference to the object that is a human being having mechanical and functional aspects, visible and invisible aspects are referred to as 'body' and 'mind.' Within the see-saw range hinged on the threshold of tolerance, the 'software' that is the SukshmaShareera (unmanifest body) interacts and becomes in due time the 'hardware' or SthoolaShareera (manifested body) which again interacts and informs the SukshmaShareera in the process of maturation or what is popularly called as 'ascension' where the substance of a person matures through wisening and, in my estimate, becomes 'adult.' (Collectively, we tend to call a 'body' that has grown to its fullest size as adult, but that is only the tissue body at one level of maturation determined by genes when the potential in a person at 18 or 21 years old may barely have seen the tip of recognition, if that, depending on opportunities.) (#DevelopmentalStages in a human being is understudied, to put it mildly, for why else will we be facing global crises like violences and ecogeographical issues if human development was seen as an ecoculture on a live medium that is the 'petridish' that is Earth. We would, certainly, be tolerant, even indulgant, of the abberrant ones like we would children who are naughty and yet to learn the ways of the world to grow up, knowing that they need loving overseeing and prompt nurturing for healthy growth, like a gardener would his garden. Like I said, some thoughts have just not been thought about, which is what I am doing - following a wise person's advise 'Be the change you want to see in the world.') Mind, then, in my opinion, in light of the above, is energy like the steam from an engine which when directed can pull an entire train forward but if left undirected and diffuse could rot the train in stagnation. The 'train' here is the 'seed,' as in the engine of a train, which when its potential realized, with its internal combustion engine, can add boggies/compartments and become a full-fledged train pulling civilization, mankind and destiny into a new dawn. Enough said for now. Rest later. (BTW, Nirbeeja Yoga™ is a method I offer to teach to anyone interested in learning how to direct their mind in manifesting their potential. This method is designed to integrate mind and body to function in unison, which with regular practice helps arrive at states of nirvana, so you always maintain a fresh perspective of life and live life such. It is refreshing, like having just come out of a bath every new moment as you walk through the everyday moments of life.

"...in a maze, lost and found. Every so often, we come to a blind lead. it is in these moments that that which is beyond can call through to the known from the other side of darkness, affirming a faith that is beyond the realms of the known but is a reflection of the known - the unknown known.'
In search of the authentic, that which lasts the test of time, the vagaries, the vague loyalties, the assured array of clueless well-wishers, who dash the dots in a vague game of dash and dots, forming the nature of reality we so rely upon to hold our world upon and build from. It is when one or more of these dots or dashes move at their whimsical will and the picture seems askew that one begins to question the reliability of the construct and then further the construct itself of reality. From these vague cracks, with fear of losing ground, that the construct itself may have been false being unfathomable for so much has been built based on this that existential fears begin to raise its head or heads. Once the crust has been broken one too many times, you know of course that it is the snake shedding its skin but the first 'earthquake' seems like disillusion and end of the world with nothing to hold onto and no body to turn to but must be held fast for dear life (whatever that really means but surely the continuation of something that is true and is). There are several snake skins that must be shed but a human being is not for those who arent ready for some tumultous rides? Like Harry Potter's Basilisk, the unaddressed that courses under the surface of skin through crevices unknown due to hitherto far unexplored must be listened for for any devices invented to address the needful. Violence has not be seen for what it is; it is often forged in our own homes as devices for defense. That defense is just one part of offense often masquerading as its opponent or in response when it is another facet of the same is not discerned as it should be for then our investments of time, effort and energy would be in another direction - hopefully in a direction that is actually having peace as the outcome, not a misnomer. Self of a person is as nucleus to a cell. It is not everything but is an important something that is a beginning to fractals of several other centers of which an individual is part of and form the collective. Self is a basic unit. There is the range from lower selves to higher self. This is a system or hierarchy much like an orchard has raw to ripe fruits - an ecosystem. The higher self is the basic building block of a system that are stages of individuality - of maturity. 'Objectified mover' is a person who IS the action itself, like a chair always functions like a chair, no matter where you place it or even if you use it differently. Anybody who looks at a chair, even if used differently, knows it is a chair that is used differently. Its function remains the same. It is best used as a chair. A person doing one thing over and over and over becomes that action. It is kind of fordification (you know, like in the Ford Company, specific people are said to repeatedly be doing the same action over and over to produce a machine part, for example, never really seeing or being part of the big/whole picture).
Objectified movers can be scaled from 0 to 10, where a Mover is sans-thought automated (functioning mindlessly and without thought) on one end of the scale/spectrum and on the other extreme is superintegrated-thought automated, where the thought is superintegrated into the action until the action and thought is not different from one another but one and the same, i.e. the motion and thought combination has gotten subconscious'd and then further into unconscious. This is a state of siddhi, in yogic terms. Anybody can attain this kind of superwholesome siddhi. It is a state of perfecting wholesomely an action. A homemaker, for example, can attain a state of siddhi wherein the automatic routine works is so superannuated that everything she/he touches turns into 'functional gold' so to speak and life blooms, like Mother Galaxy at work - creating new worlds with every action, no action being less or more important than another. Everything being a prayer/nirvanifier. It is a fine state of being and existence. Kinda like fine-living exponential'd x 10 if not 100 or 1000 (there are lot of 0s that can be added unto infinity). Perfection, thusly, is reachable, achievable and is a journey for there are greater degrees of wholesome perfection yet to be achieved unto infinity. Infinity is finity (fine-ity) strung together unto infinity. Fine-living :) You have the life you have. How would you rather live? |
