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.

This writeup is a followup to the below-linked post. It follows the evolutionary line of thought that human beings are yet in the making; that the term human being has prematurely come about and that we, as a species, are still evolving into becoming human beings. A human being is what only a human being can do - pause, identify which is what, deflect the attack into something harmless without risking life and that which is honorable in any way and at the same time restoring harmony (any animal can attack/defend. A human being sustains and subsists what need to be sustained and subsisted over and beyond a mere attack/defend existence). A human being is in the mindful harmonious deliberations with peace at heart and altruism in conduct, creating sustainable worlds. When you create something new and original and wholesome, you are awakening the human in you, else you are just a replica (any machine can replicate sooner or later). When you are aware, that is a human feature (machines are largely automatons being trained on what to be aware of). A human being responds to a need and compares only to make things better (comparing to survive is an animal need - it helps to survive as the fittest, which is animal nature; over and beyond this animal nature is 'human' who can live - constantly evolving from living in the moment creating worlds that has not been yet that works for everybody while recycling that which does not sustain and subsist). Movement with an answer to 'why the movement' as a purpose is a human feature (an interesting animal nature of a peculiar kind of animal, perhaps a Bat, is to simply want to know the unknown just because it is there in the not-known; a human would employ the findings into creating things that works for everybody, not just as 'I can do this too' but by also being mindful of the consequences/outcomes from the 'doing.' A human being is responsible for his/her/their actions by being accountable for the consequences). The mind waves between our different shores of knowledge, imbibing and depositing from each other, enriching life and the experience of living in the Ocean of Consciousness that we are all part of. As a human being, as a product of millions of years of evolution, it is our onus to behave as the privilege that is in being human beings and be on the Planet as part of the Whole. Violence is animal nature; peace is human nature. Violence is part of the attack/defense survival loop to exist. A violence is an attack or intrusion without permission, and permission is denied because the enterer does not meet criteria/not qualified to enter, and hence the defense against violence. It is animal nature to win merely to survive and human to live (create win-win outcomes that work for all that is life and living, not merely for the individual/group/community/country). We can identify our animal nature by comparing and contrasting with the animal we behave like and then to identify when we behave as humans and then to learn to continue to be humans with Nature to guide us on how to live amongst the living and then further how to live as a human being amongst fellow human beings. I think a human being is the walker in between the visible and invisible, between the known and unknown, respecting both, working with both, creating in conjunction with both - in conjunction with All That There Is (in conjunction with the Universe). A human being is always in tension - InTension; he/she/they are beings in tension, standing on a firm conviction in life and what is wholesome and drawn to an invisible destination even if just in faith of its existence and walks to cover the distance between what is and what could be in a way that works for everybody-everything. Poornamadah poornamidam poornaath poornamudachyathe, poornasya poornamaadhaayah poornamevaa vashishyathe (There is whole, here is whole, from whole arises whole, From/being whole, with whole as the basis (relied upon), whole ever subsists/remains) (Sanskrit is an ancient language with layers of meanings in each of its words, so translating it becomes a challenge but the translation above is a good enough approximation, I suppose) The Vedas delineated thusly a law cosmologically for anything created to subsist and then further for the created to create subsisting/lasting (read, that which stands the test of time) creations in the scheme of All That There Is that we call the Universe (a singular Whole with several whole parts working together towards a greater whole). Addendum: (29-Nov-17) Ancient Egypt has left a message for all future generations to see this evolutionary need: The Sphinx (<-- Click here). I would paraphrase the words 'God' and 'Divine' in more palpable, reachable, doable terms since we seem to have made 'God' to be either a feared or unreachable ideal too vague hence to be connected with directly by us as individuals other than through somebody who intervenes or interprets for us, but more on that later. I do say here (in this update on this date) that what the Sphinx points to is a developmental delay in our psychoemotointellectuospiritual evolution while the physical body is apparently that of a human. I say apparently here because we are yet to see our ideal body constitution as a Human Being, as in perfection as a human being. A lot of 'alien' movies and books keeps talking about the human race being a primitive race which, in light of the above paragraph, makes sense! More later.

Kindly indulge me as I attempt to presence a perspective that may be unusual or even out-of-the-box from everyday thinking.
There is a University that each one of us get admission into the moment we are born. It is a teaching school and each student learns a subject according to what they have a studentship about. Studentship is whatever it is about that there is a genuine 'I really dont know but I am inquiring into it'ship about the topic of inquiry. This University has all kinds of courses imaginable, and the learning is practical on-the-court/job in-reality; basically, if you are born, you are in the University. I dont know if anyone really gets out of it (a la Hotel California, with several other chambers in it than the song depicts). It has standards/grades (like the first standard/grade, second standard/grade, etc. of primary schooling and degree courses too and placements according to the level of training in Almighty.Inc that is in sync with the University). As the standard/grade in school levels up, there is a shift is how reality is perceived and in the understanding of what reality is, much like viewing through a kaleidoscope. So, when there is a perceived shift in reality, you should know you have probably leveled up/moved to the next standard with a whole lot of new teachings to layer upon what has already been learned. We all actually know about both. I attempt here to present the already known but maybe in the subconscious/unconscious minds so that the conscious mind can make choices with this knowledge; afterall, knowledge gives confidence. Attendance is based on choice. How soon you learn a subject depends on how much time you spend learning it. As you learn one standard/grade, you level up until degree and advanced courses depending on how much you want to learn. Placement appropriately, again depending on choice of job available, but sometimes also based on requirement, again depending on level of skill and jobability (i.e., ability to deliver the requirement). The jobability depends on what a person can do, and the 'doing' needs to be consistent with what Almight.Inc is producing as a Company. it is a construction company and like any company it requires softskilled and hardskilled employees. Again, placement is according to skill. Everyone who is in the University is also an employee one way or the other in Almighty.Inc. Promotions are based on performance and there is always scope for promotions. Pretty organic a Company this. All the people around a person are basically colleagues, hence, which is over and above what the person's relationship with the colleague is. Some are aware of their employeeship, some are not. This writeup is also an attempt to remember/remind/bring to awareness what may be in the subconscious/unconscious. We are not on Earth for nothing; each one matters, so be gainfully employed. It is quite a perfect system, this Company. Bad seeds get weeded out. No one is indispensable; jobability depends on who can do the job and jobability is constantly evaluated. It is quite a hotseat that way literally. It is the line of fire. So, a person can check their job status by checking in with their conscience. If they can face their conscience and stand undaunted, they have their performance evaluation in realtime - quite an effective management that way. Karma is basically what you do; performance appraisal according to Karma (past wrongs can be righted by present doings). Payment is in terms of goodwill, money, companionship, teaching, performance appraisal-based promotion. It helps to do anything keeping one's conscience as a constant companion; that is real-time performance self-appraisal. Helps to be a good student, calibrate/maintain karmic balance, skill-upgradability, etc. Every effort counts. Be aware of your choices as acutely as possible. There are ways to develop awareness, of course, by which choices can be caught as they are being made consciously/subconsciously/unconsciously. Checking in with one's conscience is akin to checking in with the Management of University AND Almighty.Inc, much like checking in with the high command. You are judged based on Karma (what you do; even thinking is a doing for it has energy by which something happens whether a person knows it or not about what happens), so be conscious about how you spend your time. Now, about the University - only a student continually enrolled in the University can do the job properly, else there is a chance of being burned in the line of fire if the concern is only about jobability. A fulltime student is likely to be a good employee since such a person is in continuous training. The teaching in the University is in real time. How do you know what course you are enrolled in? Just become aware of what is coming to you - the energy, the thought content, the tone of voice and conduct, the people who interact with you and what transpires, the billboards that catch your attention, the books that interest you or material that you read - they are all part of how the course is delivered. As you become aware of what you learn, you can choose what you want to learn and the University modulates the teaching accordingly so that the learning material is more streamlined to your subject of interest. The challenges faced are a bit like resistence-training or popup exams to test your learning and to assess where tweaking is needed. You can self-assess of course by your faculty of conscience and make adjustments to how you learn and what you learn by the inherent tool of choice. Awareness is key and what there is to be aware of comes by observation and exposure to unfamiliar {you need to be slightly at the edge of what you know and look out from the boundaries at what you may not know for starters; really good for stretching the muscles :) } Happy learning, dear World citizen! (Will update content of this post as and when further clarity is deemed necessary/beneficial and/or as I learn my lessons better in the University). |
