40. Life & What is happening& Knowing.

Understanding of life, as separate individual is limited understanding. Separation or duality is a feeling, created by use of language mixed with life putting in some sensations in the body to cap it. This language is designed so by life itself, so that the life can hide its objective nature completely, as the doer of all doing, and make a show as if, all its doings are done by forms as separate living entities. Life itself is formless, appearing as forms doing everything. Its working is so unique, that it maintains a stand, that all happening is the outside world and it’s knowing is as the inside world and separated by a boundary called limited by the body.

Lets understand what life is as we know it to be. We think life is required for movement. Therefore we can assume that life is what is moving or animating us. But thought fails to accommodate the fact that, all movement happens or is done by life itself. So walking, eating, talking, thinking etc, whatever movement can be imagined, is done by life. What is our role in it? Nothing. Movement is change and this applies to all that is changing and change is all there is, some slow and some fast.

We also understand that, life is required for seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling, and tasting. Or we can say sensing. The language used here, is as if, we make use of life to do the sensing. Life is actually doing all this, on our behalf, if we may say so.

Such sensing is done partly outside, partly on the body surface and balance inside of the body. For example, seeing and hearing is happening outside, feeling, smell and taste may be on the body and some stomach ache is sensed inside.

So life seems to be active in two zone, one is its external activity as the world and other is its internal activity of feelings, emotions thoughts etc. If life is doing all this, what are ‘we’ doing? Nothing.

What else is the activity of life? - growth, decay and regeneration. When life regenerates all the cells within the body, like blood cells and other cells, by decaying them and recycling them, once in seven years, we need life for this activity. However, we say, a man died. Is it possible for a man to remain ‘undecayed’ without life there? Will he not remain as such for  2 million years or more years ( lifetime of the planet) as a ‘dead’ body?.  Probably will. So if decay is happening, we say, life there is doing this decay. So what is our role in decaying the body? Nothing.

So Life is birth, activity, death, decay, change of form, seeing, hearing, sensing, emotions, thoughts etc etc.

Another important thing about life: Flame is form and fire is its source. Likewise, any appearance is form and life is its essence or source. So anybody, trees, stones etc., is just life appearing as anybody, stone, tree etc. What is our role here? Nothing.

So form is life, activity is life, sensing is life. Is there anything else left out?. Even that would be Life.

So all there is -is Life, split into two, active or passive forms as its dynamic aspect and sensing or knowing as its static aspect.

So life plays itself out and life knows its play by itself. What is our role so far? Nothing.

So we can say that there is life happening and the knowing of it is also happening, without any effort on the so called individual.

Lets take the first. Life happening. All that is happening- is seen as life. Life has no other identification. Sensing life, is the knowing of what is happening. There is no life, outside of this happening or outside of this knowing.

If Life is activity and life is sensing also, are they two aspects, independent of each other? Like sound and hearing? Can the scene be independent of its seeing? Can a sound be independent of its hearing, Can the sensed objects be independent of its sensing, Can an activity be independent of its knowing? No, So, are they two aspects or one single aspect split as if into two? Is not the sensing of the activity, the happening or the activity itself?

What if,  there was only one aspect of life without the second just apparently as if outside of the one to appear as another? As if knowing of content was all there was and content to knowing seemingly separate from such knowing of it. Similarly, what if -all activity was in the sensing itself?. How could this be? Say, like in a dream, where knowing of dream itself is the dreaming or dream content.
Alternatively, If we go into matter, into the atom of matter, we find atoms moving as an activity, which means life. So as long there is matter, there is life. No matter whether the matter seems medically alive or not. ( That matter is alive or not, is a limited medical version). But all activity is life, all matter is atomic and having life. In fact all matter is an appearance of life, in life. Now, the material of all matter, seems to be energy and the material of energy seems to be nothing as its source except as a kind of intelligence that is non-matter.  So life is non material and only appears as material, like a wave or a vibration, having no appearance of itself, suddenly appears as sound, between 20 and 20000 hzs, may be colour at some hzs, and hardness at some other hzs. Completing its formation of a solid form being nothing of itself as the material of vibration.

Can all these hzs be simultaneously? Or will there be a resultant?. Take a speaker coil for example. One coil, one electricity. Lets say, 10 instruments play at a time, being fed to the coil. Does the diaphragm vibrate with 10 different set of frequencies at a given time to notice 10 different instruments, or does it vibrate with a single resultant vibration as if one instrument was playing? Life knows or God knows, but 10 instruments are heard with the diaphragm vibrating as a resultant.

Therefore, Life is all there is- and all there is -is knowing of sensing of all there is, as if life was forms, playing itself as a seeker, seeking life!.

Knowing seems to be an activity of ‘now’ or ‘time’ and all happenings seems to be an activity in space. Just like time is the next measurement of volume or space, to include space in it, like volume to area, or area to length, or length to a point, knowing includes contents as itself, all encompassing

Splitting all this into separate events and separate objects, is 'mind' game or an intelligent game of life, so as to feel separate and subjective and as if an individual was doing the seeing and hearing and seeking.
