61. Incarnation

All creation is an incarnation of the Intelligence of what we call Life. Life itself is simply that intelligence. Life appears as incarnated world. In fact the objective nature of Life is the world as ‘we’ see it. The ‘we’ that see the world is ‘life’ that sees the world as ‘we’. It’s life that ‘sees’ life. The seeing is life’s activity. The being is life’s activity.

So what do we mean by incarnation. It is an appearance of the source. The bangle is an incarnation of Gold.  Incarnation, is all of us. Reincarnation also has a place in it but not exactly as one would imagine normally. Imagine a leaf. It seems alive. Lets us say it fell down. Now what happens to its life. Did it go back into the tree or did it fall down with the leaf, or isn’t there a life to the leaf.   This is tricky. We assume life only to the whole item. But the leaf springs out like a new baby and falls away like an old person dying. Should it not have a specified life. Will it reincarnate as anything. Will it become a tree or animal etc. It is too hard to figure out. We cut trees, and it grows again, unlike man. If you cut him, that the end.  So in case of trees, we keep quite. It’s seeds become trees. So, did one tree have many latent reincarnating lives hidden?. All this has no meaning. So they will say, reincarnation is only for animals including humans.  But is all really true?

We can agree on incarnation. Life is form and the formless –Life appears as forms. Life incarnates as forms. Now the same life the I am, is the same life that you are. Life seems to show up as all people alive. So all people are incarnation of life. Will they reincarnate. Yes. But the new incarnation may be a product of a mix of many old. Like for example, if we take a big necklace and melt in to make a total of one small necklace, two bangles, two ear rings etc, all would feel, to be the reincarnation of one. But in humans, we find the talking one per piece. This is impossible.

Life is a flow. The appearance of the universe is aliveness or motion or change. The old dies into the new format, like caterpillar to a butterfly. You cant really say one died and the other was born. Only the forms keep changing. The man may dies and spring out hundreds of worms. Surely that ‘one’ he will reincarnate as ‘all those worms’. But they are only a change of forms.

All of creation is life or all creation is an incarnation of life. Every moment there is a falling into life to be incarnated back into life as a new unfolding. The man, dies every moment to be born again new. Incarnation is continuously reincarnating so as to say. This has reference only to the looks or appearance. The source is the same. Always will remain the same.  Life. All of it. Call it consciousness or God or just life.

All joy and suffering is ‘life’ appearing as man suffering or joyous. Its life that is suffering your pain, incarnating as a suffering person. There is only incarnation of ‘Life’ as all appearances, suffering or enjoying. All there is –is incarnation, reincarnating every now and then. Its a continuous process like a new frame of film producing movements to a movie. The reincarnation is of the complete frame of the picture.  The complete new frame is a reincarnation of the old. The complete universe reincarnates as one movement to die as the old and to appear fresh, but seems the old is moving into the new.

So there is incarnation of life as objective world and will reincarnate every moment as the unfolding of the objective world in its appearance in ‘Life’. All there is –is life, incarnating and reincarnating as creation that we see. The ‘we’ that see it is ‘Life ‘incarnated as ‘we’.

60. This and That

In the world that we think, there is, there are two aspects  a) ‘All that there is’ and b) The knowing of all that there is. The term a) is Called ‘This’ and the term b) is called ‘That’.

All that there is or THIS is known only by ‘Knowing’ or by THAT. If there is no knowing of something, that something cannot be known and therefore cannot exist. Knowing that something exists, is only in the ‘knowing’ of it, that, something exist.

In fact, the existence of THIS is its own Knowing as ‘Knowing’ or THAT.

We can say, without THAT, there is no THIS or THAT knows THIS and so THIS ‘is’.

Now, where is the knowing of ‘all that is there’ happening. The knowing of a pen is happening at the pen. The knowing of a tree is happening at the tree. And all this is being explained as if, THIS can be broken up in parts. Nevertheless, knowing the essence of one ,is knowing of all there is to know about existence. Knowing of ‘all there is’ is happening wherever they are and so Knowing is wherever all is there or simply termed ‘everywhere’, if there is such a term.

Coming back to the world, THIS and THAT seems to be two aspects  of ‘ONE’.  We cannot take, ‘all that there is’  separate from its knowing. So, the ‘knowing’ of all that there is, is itself, ‘all that there is’ and cannot be or exist outside of such knowing.  All that there is –is the BEING part and its Knowing is the KNOWING part. Knowing or THAT is BEING or THIS.

So ‘THAT’ is ‘THIS’

Now, all that ‘we are’ is the knowing capacity of ‘all that there is’. SO WE are THAT. Since there is no existence outside ‘knowing’  or THAT, ‘all there is’ is ‘THAT’ or what ‘we are’.

Understanding so far is the complexity, Now for the Simplicity.

There is no existence of ‘all that there is’ –outside of knowing. All that there is –is Manifestation and Knowing of THIS is the Unmanifest. So, Manifestation is the objective aspect of the Unmanifest or  Knowing. THAT or Knowing  or the Unmanifest is ‘objectified’  by all that there is or the ‘Manifest’.

Phenomenon or the Manifest, is objectivisation of the Unmanifest or Knowing or THAT or AWARENSS .

Phenomenon or Something or everything is the Manifestation of Nothing or ‘Knowing’ which is not a thing, objectively, and so not there at all, but exists as an absence of anything present or absent.

So What ‘we are’ or Noumenon is the Unmanifest or Absolute or ‘Knowing’ or ‘That’ of Phenomenon and Non-phenomenon ( which is absence of phenomenon) and are everywhere, wherever phenomenon appears, simply because, phenomenon is the objective appearance of Noumenon.

So, the above is a clarification of THIS and THAT, THAT what ‘we are’ as Objectively THIS or the appearance of the world.

Hope ‘you’ got THAT, because what ‘we are’ is THAT. 

59. Form, Effect and Knowledge.

Wave forms are an effect of energy, seen as transmitted.  Nothing moves as material, when energy is seemed to move. There are like waves in a still pond. The wave is just an effect of sideward movement happening in consciousness or MIND. There is no movement of water sideward. There is only an ‘effect’ or an appearance of such a movement. Such an ‘effect’ is simply termed ‘knowing in consciousness’. There is a knowledge of such effect seeming known somewhere and somehow, which for now, we will just say,  knowing in consciousness. Appearance is a visual, audible, emotional, etc knowing in consciousness.

All waves are such ‘effects’ or ‘knowing’ of appearance. In fact all effects are just appearances or knowing.  This includes effects of emotions, anger ,  sadness or joy etc which are just another category of knowing as appearances.

Seeing, hearing, or sensing is an effect or ‘knowing’. Take taste for example. Its just an effect or appearance. Its just a feeling. Feeling is an effect or appearance. It wont be wrong to say that all appearances are an effect. However so many words are used, as if to mean different, in different parts of usage, that the basis of appearances gets hidden. In a broader sense,  sensation is just an appearance or effect or a knowing in consciousness. Effect, appearance and knowing are same meaning words, used differently to feel different aspects of stories or interpretations.

Form is nothing but shape and colour. Colour is nothing but an effect or knowing of energy wave. Hardness is just an effect of energy wave. Matter, which is just shape or hardness and colour, is just an effect of hardness or energy wave. Atom is just an effect or energy wave. Energy itself is an effect, just like a  wave is an effect in consciousness.

Ultimately, wave is an explanation for transmission of energy and energy is an explanation of a feel  or an effect or knowing in consciousness. Matter is energy and energy is an effect and effect is an appearance in consciousness. Other than an effect, there is no energy or matter whatsoever. So all colour, hardness, taste, sound, smell, sensations are effects of one kind or other in consciousness.

There is nothing like matter and energy. Matter is an appearance of energy, like flame to fire. Mass is an appearance of energy. Mass is an effect in consciousness of energy. Energy itself is some kind of a mysterious effect, because energy, as we think,  doesn’t seem to exist as matter. The measurement of energy is the measurement of the effect. So is an effect appears out of nothing, the measurement can only measure the effect of nothing, interpreted as something, on an assumption that something only can cause an ‘effect’. However when the ‘effect’ itself is an appearance, all appearances are an ‘idea’ of effect.    

What causes the effect is a mystery, because the effect is the cause in itself. Out of nowhere and nothing, comes an effect. A wave has to come out of stillness somehow. The whole creation of energetic filed is a play. The effect or feel in consciousness appears as energy or colour or hardness or shape or emotions or thoughts or movements etc. When broken down backwards, it leads to the measurement of wave forms, which itself is an effect or appearance arising from the unknown source.

Human forms and all forms are a bundle of energy. It moves, expresses dances etc, which are an effect or knowing in consciousness fo such movement. Consciousness is stillness that is managing to know an effect or change. Knowledge itself is an appearance around such an effect or knowing, as if, forming a meaning of the effect or a story and the story of existence survives. There is no-one to know, except the wave maker itself which is just ‘stillness’. But there appears a knowing of effect and story. The effect is called the appearance and the story if called knowledge. 

58. Perceiving the Happening

Consciousness perceives appearances as objective things in an objective creation. The sensation is of forms. Visual forms, audible forms, thought forms etc, that appear and disappear in /to consciousness. The whole spectrum of sensing is converted to perception to memory, by making concepts of what is sensed, as if to a conceptual 'me'. Sensation is sensed and perception is projected and then re-cognised to memory. The material of existence is nothing but sensations, as if 'matter'. We will analyse sensing and perception as one and call it perception only to clarify an understanding of 'what is happening' even though nothing is happening.

Perception is of wholeness, which includes all scenes, sounds, feelings etc. However, when seen in parts, there appear to be two or three type of perception. One type of perception, may be called with ‘form’ or is objective in nature, or those that seems to have direct reaction to many human forms, in the vicinity of the part perception. Like sound, visuals etc. These  ‘appear’  to be commonly perceived by human forms. In reality, the human forms appear to react commonly to perception of sound and visuals. The second kind of perception seems personal to each human form and are not common to more than one form. Such perception is of emotions, anger, fear, love, pain, depression etc. These forms of perception are formless and come as ‘feelings’ personal to each body, there by directly reacting or expressing the human form as if reacting to the outside world of objects.

All the time there has to be a combination of perception, to make the play of appearance more dynamic. The formless perception and those with forms appear parallelly in consciousness. The snake appears outside and fear appears inside the body boundary, making a meaning, as if, the fear has been aroused by the seeing of the snake. However the seeing of the snake and feeling of the fear has to be aroused by one source, called consciousness in consciousness.

There is one more set of appearance which is also formless, termed as thoughts. These make meaning to the world of objective appearances to give them a feel of reality.  All appearances are perceived with some sort of meaning, as if reality is given to parts of perception, as if in a story and such meaning or stories, seem to be stored as memory. So stories happen to appearances, as they appear, as if happening to a ‘ me’  and are stored as memory. Events seem real with time and space, and so while adding meaning to appearances,  a ‘spacial and temporal  effect’ within their respective  meaning  also gets made. If two objects are seen in one ‘seeing’ they are split as if, seen ‘here and there’ or one seeing the other. When not seen, it seems to have an effect as if to believe,  seen outside of the current seeing limits, like somewhere else. The continuity of appearances ‘seems’ to have more meaning as a duration in the meaning making , as if to mean ‘events are happening’.  Such ‘events’  are added as the story for memory making. Thoughts are a method of using such memorised ‘events’ or meanings to perception, to link it to an assumed past and future probabilities, to make more complete meanings. When nothing seems to be happening, a thought form appears  with its associated meaning, as if giving meaning to all that is perceived, to make into one common story, “The story of me”. It uses, past and future parts of story made, to makes seem, a continuity of the story of me. This pattern of perception, seems meaningful, when IT can objectify or make meaning,  to this form as a person and other forms as objects that make up a world.

So within perception happening, like a dream, a ‘me’ gets set up here and the world of objects get set up there. Suitable emotions react the forms, as if forms perceive and suitable thoughts are perceived to make more room for stories with space and time.

This is the sub story trying to explain the main story of perception. Loll.
