Billions of men and women in the past, billions ahead; infinite years in the past and may be, infinite times ahead… The awesomeness of this ‘infinite’ however, is ‘Zero’, sans the advent of consciousness of ‘I’ – Mine and yours. This messy, incredibly fragile, amazingly conflicted and dreadfully ephemeral ‘bubble’ of Consciousness is, however, the brilliantly mesmerizing probabilistic ‘Window’ of endless Realities. The media of consciousness, which engenders the perceptional plexus of Cognition, knows deep down that most of these ‘Realities’ are brilliant but only a handful of them are ‘Happy’ ones.
The legendary poet, Meer mentioned about ephemeral existence and its flamboyantly illusionist positioning in a very famous poetry centuries back –
Hasti Apni Habab Ki Si Hai…
Ye Numaish Sharab Ki Si Hai…
(My existence and beingness is like a bubble, the exhibition of individuality however, is like the liquor…)
The innate and instinctive consciousness and its generic cognition is stupidly designed to understand and accept many a realities as hugely useful and empowering, as they always feel like the ‘happy ones’, but actually and eventually are calamitous for life-living wellness. In Indian philosophical traditions, ‘intuitive utility’ has been equated with an Itch, which all of us are ‘Happy’ scratching; though being fully aware that it shall always end in painfulness, bruised skin and blood stained hands. This ‘happy’ Predilection and innate Bias towards most realities the media of consciousness accepts, is painfully restrictive one. Realities need never be understood and accepted through the prism of ‘Happy Preferentiality’. Rather, most realities, as they present themselves to the intuitiveness of the media of consciousness, are essentially Value-Neutral – neither good nor bad; neither happy nor sad. They are objective causalities or the cognitive effects of causalities, which the vast and variegated milieus, ambient to us or otherwise expansive, present to us.
Consciousness, as a probabilistic ‘Window’, as a media to unravel realities, is a huge gift. A rather disastrously scammed yet mesmerizing media or window! This media is Innately Scammed; assigned to painfulness and conflicted conflations by very design. The media of consciousness has to be understood, accepted with scientifically objective and holistic parameters of contemporary knowledge. This media needs to be trained to Unlearn archaic, instinctive and obsolete auto-alignment to culturally installed and perpetuated ideas of good, bad, right, wrong and happy and sad. Once unlearning happens, the window throws up the brilliantly empowering shades of realities and their utility-worth in life-living wellness and excellence.
Rather, contrary to the ‘happy preferentiality’ about life-living realities, the consciousness must accept the universality and transcendence of Grief. Grief is the most potent energy of Creation. It is the primeval Causality of eternal Evolution. All Marvels of world are deep and embedded expressions of Grief and Pain. Grief is the portal of the singular element as eligibility to being human – Compassion. Sadly, only a handful can truly realize and internalize Grief to miraculous Revelation. The innate and intuitive Happy Preferentiality of untrained and un-evolved mind consciousness restricts ‘Grief-Acceptance’. Most people have the upfront and ever-ready ‘Bouncers’ of Denial and Deception to prevent the entry of grief-aligned compassion. Tragically; Marvels become tools to deny Grief itself. When Grief is denied; Compassion gets eclipsed and Reality stands mystified. Humanity is genius in Enterprise of Denial and Deception of Reality. This is biggest ‘Unlearning’. Together, we do it, together we partner in this enterprise here and right now…
