Mind: Where All Mysticisms Emanate And End

The first and foremost dualism about love, which is very deep-rooted in our consciousnesses, is its acceptance as something mystical, at the cost of sustained refusal to see the more objective and elaborately realistic aspects.
The dualism is in the mysticism, magic and marvel of love. This mysticism of love is what most lovers get attracted to initially. This suits the consciousness of love. This marvel of love gives the young men and women huge kicks of life. Young minds get huge thrills in journeying amidst the mist of mysticism of love as precariousness of the enterprise always has its own joy. Similar is the human desire, when it comes to religion and spiritualism. Mysticism is preferred state here too. However, this mysticism further confuses those in love and faith and this confusion in turn leads to calamitous patterns of behaviors and actions in love. The resultant pain and chaos is cyclic.
Human mind is where all mysticisms emanate and end. The multilayered mechanisms of mind is one huge mystery, humanity has been attempting to unravel since thousands of years. The spiritualism and philosophy have given its own interpretation. Science has taken over and presented great facts about mind mechanism, its structure and functions and this has led humanity to understand lot many things about consciousness.
Human brain is the central mechanism for ensuring the survival and excellence of human body and it has to be accepted that the conscious and subconscious mind accepts and expresses almost everything in terms of its primary and pivotal role of ensuring a mechanism for survival and excellence. This interpretation of human mind looks so demeaning as we all are inclined to accept ourselves as something big and a lofty and special creation of God. Accepting ourselves as an entity, with base idea of survival is revolting.
That is why, science says, “the idea of a self, in objecting terms is often pitted against the ‘self’ itself, which we have been used to accepting subjectively since thousands of years.”
However, as we have talked about it earlier, the mechanism, as we are, may not be easy for us to accept but it is very helpful in enhancing our joy and satisfaction. Just for knowing the mechanism, we need to accept that human mind ensures this survival and excellence through a continuous and complicated maintenance of a process called homeostasis – better understandable as ‘poise’. All wisdoms, old or new, since thousands of years, have talked about the importance of this idea called ‘poise’, explained in terms of philosophy and spiritualism. Science unravels its physiological, bio-chemical and psychosomatic aspects.

She Chiseled A Man Out Of Him, Indebted He Stood

Mayank would call her the most beautiful enterprise in his life. That kept him in constant fear. He knew most beautiful things in life were ephemeral. Strange though, he never thought beauty was the best thing about her. He loved her vitality and valued as a huge complement to his own personality for his own was rather low. When she would come close to him, he could feel the pink of her health and vitality in the millions of specks of her heavily moist breath. He found it strange but her breath would remind him of the moist and strangely aromatic air which he had breathed in when sitting beneath a very old banyan tree in the backyard of his native village. He related it to a clear sign of her superior health and took a lot of security and confidence from it.
He admired more the fact that she from her very presence would raise the bar of his potential and possibilities as a person. Mayank would always be indebted to her for a strange realization, which dawned upon him only when she entered his life. She chiseled a man out of him; made him understand the multi-dimensionality of roles a man is invested with by the almighty or the nature. He could gain the importance of the pride of the burden of performances as well as the joy of actually performing these multi-dimensional roles.
Almost a year back, when he first met her, the first feeling he had was that of the protectiveness of a father. She looked so young and effervescent, almost like a college sophomore; capricious and vulnerable. It was one of the reader interactive programs organized by his newspaper and she was invited. There were other women in the program but she caught the attention of all men because of her spiritedness. Men are men and anywhere they will be too willing to extend ample proof of it. Men start speaking the language of their beneath the belt desire and even start picking up commensurate signals which may not actually be there but their accentuated and conditioned mind would see one. A bubbly woman, who does not wear a culturally self-imposed veil of nonchalance and pretentious aura of pre-eminence, automatically draws an ‘available’ label in the language of men.
Mayank could see it happening with her. He promptly took her in his authoritative custody as if he were her dad. She took proper notice of his gesture. Later, though he got to know that she was no college girl but a professional, working for a private bank; his dad-like feelings for her didn’t change….

LOVE Ain’t – What We Want We Automatically Get Thing…

Love, as one ‘casual and unconscious venture’ of life, is usually launched, or better say gets auto-launched, without much preparations. There is a clichéd that love is not made to happen, rather it happens….
This somehow justifies the non-preparedness in love. However, when the associated troubles happen in love, we never repeat the clichéd that it happened and not made to happen.
We always say, he or she made it all happen to me. Or; this or that set of things made it happen.
When something starts with a hypothesis that ‘what we want is what we should automatically get’, then the script for the failure is readied.
Nothing qualifies for automatic qualification as a birthright in modern contemporary cultural milieu of humanity. Success may come random to some, for most, it needs huge preparations.
Even if ‘Love Happens’, We All Need Be Prepared For Its Celebrative Welcome & Nurturance…

LOVE Is More A Function Of Innocence And Compassion Than Intelligence And Passion…

When you ask someone, you love deeply, to do away with some nasty or not so good habit or idea with him or her. He or she would first resist it saying, ‘why do you want to change me?’ You may tell lot many things to convince him or her but with little success. Consider what this person’s subconscious mind can come up with. It can device a series of questions, which shall essentially be his or defense against the change you want. His or her subconscious mind shall create all possible patterns of action-behavior to ensure he or she wins against your suggestion for change. Homeostasis needs to always win for survival.
The person would ask:
1. Why is there a need for me to change, I am doing perfectly fine!
2. Why should you ask me to change, can’t you accept me as I am?
3. Why should I change and even if I have, why should I listen to you?
4. Oh! Do you think you are God! Even God cannot ask me that!
5. Why should I change if I am not convinced there is something wrong about it?
6. If I have to change, only I shall decide, no one has the right to judge me.
7. I am open to change but only for someone who first accepts me as I am.
8. I would change only for someone who loves me blindly.
9. I accept changes but it would be tough as I was made this way.
10. Give me time, I am a not good at it! Etc.
The general refrain of most people in love is, “why cannot you accept me as I am. The God accepts me and loves me the way I am, good or bad. Why can’t you? Are you greater than God? Love never puts conditions!” Etc.
Remember, the more intelligent a person is, more artistic and ingenious shall be his or her advocacy against change. More unsettled, ephemeral and indecisive one’s overall homeostasis is, more intense and vocally demonstrative he or she shall be in love. However, this person shall be tougher for you to change him or her and shall be equally demonstrative in denying changes.

Fear Is Good; Energizes Journey To Truth

He grew up to the realism that asking question was a greater virtue than giving answers. Keeping a question alive, not allowing it to die prematurely required a lot of courage, character and conviction. Almost everyone claimed to have the answers; some of them probably had. Most of them even fought for their answers to be the only justified one. Many had the authority to impose answers or the refusal of it on people. Only few however had questions and the courage to stand them. He realized, if necessity was the mother of inventions, inquisitiveness was the primary energy behind all inventions, all creations.
He refused the socially popular notion that a question was a sign of weakness as it exposed the ignorance of the questioner. He learnt it quite early in his youthfulness that a question is sign of innocence and courage. It required childlike innocence and courage of highest order to rise above the fear of being labeled an ignorant, to face the taunts of peer group and society to be a duffer, even retarded. He had made up his mind to always be on the side of questions. He had accepted that if something had fear in its side, it was good as it would lead to the ultimate truth.

Of Man-Woman Beingness, Business Of ‘White-Grey’ And Graduating In Love And Intimacy…!

This rider about the incident, described here as fictional, may not be necessary as it shall sound to most that this surely ain’t happening anywhere around, so must be unreal and just a figment of imagined realism…
Somehow, perfection and assured righteousness is so rare in contemporary milieus that whenever we are faced with that, there is this fear and in-confidence about it. Acceptance has somehow become used to of ‘grey’ in people and realism. All ‘white’ and all ‘shiny’ make us doubt – Our subconscious believes – ‘Only cosmetic realism can be this white…!’ We are not used to whites…!
Anyway, two friends met after a long time… were college friends and now both married and settled with their jobs in different parts of the world…
The first said, “she is so beautiful, so innocent, so lovable, so mature and adjusting and above all, she loves me so much, trusts me so much and treats me with so much care and admiration…”
The other friend said, “Oh! So great that you have such a brilliant wife…! How do you feel then, having such a complete person with you…?”
The first replied, “I am ashamed… I am truly apologetic to her for me not being of any worth and any match to her magnanimity…”
“… and what your wife feels about that”, the friend asked.
“… She says, she is the most fortunate wife in the world as she has a husband, who doesn’t think like a man to act like a man and doesn’t act like a man to think like a man. He is just a consciousness-partner, whose man-beingness emanates out of the purity of affection and compassion, not affectation and passion…”, the first said.
…. “You have graduated”, the friend said with tears in his eyes and both hugged each other and walked along the sea for hours…
There is nothing in this mortal world, which can be labeled as greater joy and satisfaction than what a man and woman together in love and intimacy can engender. However, for this to happen – the man has to be a man and woman has to be a woman…!
What a conundrum…! How and who to decide what is being a ‘man’ or a ‘woman’…?
Tough it is. However, it seems, not to the intelligent mind of humanity but to the innocent brain of humans that somehow, at the start of love and intimacy, a man must see himself as a ‘man’ from the perspective of his woman and the woman should see herself as a ‘woman’ from the perspective of her man. And then, as they evolve and mature in love and intimacy in ‘mutuality-mode’, both man and woman should evolve towards a neutrality of non-beingness…!
The finality of love and intimacy and ultimate of mutuality seems to be a situation where the man ceases to be a man in love and intimacy and the woman sheds her woman identity in love and intimacy. There is no man and no woman, just love and intimacy and mutuality consciousness…
… too ‘white’ an idealism to be accepted… can mix some ‘grey’ but let the white always be the idealism… pragmatisms must always remain in pursuit of idealisms… this is beautiful and love and intimacy must always remain the most beautiful, joyous and satisfying idealism…!

Of Missing BONDING, Lives Crumbling Apart And Need To Unlearn LOVE As Body-Basics…

Santosh Jha
There may be most things tough and troubled in our milieus – physical, social, cultural, political and economic. There may be inevitable and omnipresent entropy in cosmic construct, which facilitates accidental probabilities. Or, may be, we humans have ourselves created so many of our own troubles. Still, an individual has some magic in his or her hands, which can make him or her create a small cosmos within, with reasonably facilitative milieu for reasonably good level of wellness.
This magic is his or her Consciousness and the consequential Cognition. More importantly, there is this brilliantly galvanizing element of Love And Compassion, which we all need to muffle our consciousnesses with, so that our peace and wellness has the best possible chance of perpetuity.
Since start of human civilization, all greats and wise of humanity, across geographical divides and cultures, have insisted on the primary and cardinal need of installing love and compassion as ‘ultimate benchmark’ of all possible definitions of success and wellness. Why? We can see – Success is singular, it has only one meaning – Love & Compassion. Why? Because, these twin elements of cosmos is primary energy of ‘bonding’ and this is the only success, because if there is no ‘bonding’, everything crumbles and breaks down to nothingness…
… in contemporary times, the entropy (chaotic/conflicted randomization and inadvertence) has gone wild and out of control of humanity because of two simple reasons –
1. Love and compassion has been massacred by this stupidly mad greed of instant self-gratification and material success, primarily. As this key element of ‘bonding’ has gone missing, everything in human lives is crumbling apart. The conflict and chaos is now unmanageable – in personal lives as well as societies and cultures…
2. Love itself has become a merchandise and gratification object. Contemporary people of winning sense of success, are great traders of love but fail to install it as ‘human bonding’ intangibility. Politics and religion plays as catalyst. Love in contemporary times is so misunderstood and misused that love engenders more hate and conflict than anything else…
Probably, this new millennium, when the world is focusing on ‘Consciousness’, the make and mechanism of self and its brain-led cognition, it is time we begin to redefine and reshape ‘self’ and ‘love’.
But then, first, we need to ‘unlearn’ the meaning and imagery of ‘Love’, as most of us accept as. Secondly, we need to accept ‘love’ as ‘generic bonding’ element of the cosmic construct. Love is not body-basics, it is rather elemental, quantum construct, cosmic realism, at best, a muffling ambience like gravity…
When entropy orchestrates the debacles of inadvertence and randomizations, we all need to let love-intimacy and absolute compassion completely absorb our consciousnesses. When love and compassion fills up the milieus and cosmos within the consciousness, the destination is not important; important is that we all, you me, all our closed ones, travel the path with love and compassion and together, so far as possible. If we all travel with love and compassion all throughout our journeys, wherever we will reach will be the desirable destination. This is the facilitative cognition that has all elements of peace and wellness.
Even if we do not reach anywhere, our path itself is so beautiful and satisfying that there is no need for a destination. This simple wisdom, this wellness cognition can be made possible and come to happy acceptance only when we are in love and then become love. Love does not look for ends of life. It believes in the simple fact that life is one endless drive and on the way look for no signposts to reach anywhere…the joy and satisfaction of journey is more important than the nobility and utility of destination. There is no need to reach. Be on an endless journey and make it your destination where you tire. But always remember to travel with love and compassion in heart. When love and compassion are with you, the path and the journey becomes the theatre of infinite song and dance. When song and dance is with you, journeys are full of incessant joy and satisfaction.
If you reach the stage; if ever there happens to be one, you will automatically lose the question of destination. The question of meaning of life and its purpose will be lost. Love makes you understand the futility and redundance of the intellectual concerns of life’s larger purpose and the material desire of life’s acquisitions. Love and compassion makes you understand that the true wisdom is not in reaching but in traveling well. May be also because, there is no destination and reaching. Love and compassion and its accompanying innocence is the greatest intellectualism, it is the best acquisition, if one defines life’s purpose in terms of acquisition and possessions.
In simple and easily understandable terms, what we are trying to establish is – we surely cannot now revert back to a point where entropy was in limits. We also cannot install effective control on inadvertence and randomizations of milieus. What we can do is shift our Cognition to align it with peace and wellness. This we do by purposefully and very awaringly filling up our Consciousness with this magical element of love and compassion. This helps in creating a heaven within, a small island of wellness within for every individual.
This hypothesis needs to be understood in details.
The multidimensionality of consciousness is a huge reward for the evolved human mind and being. This love incorporates all dimensions and perspectives of both consciousness and realism and leads us to a singularity of symmetrical linearity of being. Be in Love and you will know and experience all shades and colors of consciousness. Be in love and you will see and experience the multidimensionality of realism around you and everywhere.
And still, the non-dualistic love would provide you with a singularity of situationalism and positioning of your being, your awareness and exalted self, which shall by all means be singular and non-dualistic. It’s a magic to be experienced and then you yourself become the magic, you cease to be an experiencer and turn to be experience itself…
As this merger happens, the experiencer becoming experience, all pluralism, all dualism and all multidimensionality of consciousness and realisms merge into singular linearity. Many would think it is a cyclic situationalism… it is up to you!
The science of physics is evolving and the contemporary physics has discarded the restrictive theories of classical physics. The relativity theory and quantum physics has attempted to look at the realism of matter and energy in a completely new light. It shall take hundreds of years before science could synthesize the new knowledge with practicality and actuality. In the meantime however, we all can and should prefer to be in the state of non-dualistic love as it is a position where all dualisms enter a singular path of beingness, even while retaining the plurality of both consciousness and realism.
In oriental spiritualism tradition, it has been mentioned almost 4000 years back that what is the param pad (ultimate and absolute positioning) for mankind is the ‘poise’ that is attained in the ambient environment of dualism and multidimensionality. This param pad, the poise is Love. This is where the almighty God receives you. Or simply, God does not even have to receive you; you just enter Him or get infused into Him to be one with Him!
Ancient wisdom never denied the dualism, pluralism and multidimensionality of either consciousness or realism. All they said was – arrive and be in such a poise; a position of being where you admit the dualism yet, position yourself above and aloft all dualism and pluralism. Love is the easiest mechanism to arrive at and be in such a poise position. It is available for all. Only a few can get this poise through exalted knowledge of wisdom through discovery and revelation.
And what is the process of arriving and being in the poise position called Love. It is the process of arriving and being in a non-dualistic Love. Easy is it? Never! It is easy to chant and recite a prayer a million times but arriving and being at the ‘prayer’ is very tough. The road traverses through the dualism and plurality of consciousness and realism. The process then involves unlearning to shed the weight and burden of dualism. But never ever denying the pluralism. Those who deny cannot love…
Let the experts do their business. Let them unravel mysteries and mysticism of consciousness. It is a long tiring process. They shall find tools and mechanism to understand the core questions – ‘where resides the consciousness? Is consciousness a whole or scattered in parts? Is consciousness beyond matter possible? Is precognitive consciousness possible? Where and when the subjective cognition arrive in evolution of consciousness? Do all creatures have consciousness at various levels?, etc…’ The questions are unending and humanity may or may not find the singular right answer. What we can do as a wise man and woman is skip the process and attempt sincerely to arrive at and be constantly in the poise position of non-dualistic Love…
It is somehow easy and within the human limits of possibility even in the turmoil of the randomized and probabilistic energy of evolutionary situationalism of consciousness and realism… All best for any sincere endeavor…
