We cannot change things; we primarily cannot even know what needs to be changed.
We cannot because, as science says, we buoy up and down in the vast ocean of sub-consciousness for most of our lives, only occasionally surfacing on the environment of consciousness. This happens to most of us and is surely aggrandized in those who live a life of drift and flux because of deep indulgence in the clutter culture, mad multitasking and instant self-gratification.
We need to stop, keep away from this drift and think about self in a qualitative leisurely state of positive loneliness about what changes we need to bring in our lives for our wellness. We then have to consciously bring in those relevant intangibles in our mind consciousness, which can effect physiological changes in our brains. This shall institutionalize wellness and goodness in our lives.
Millions of people all over the world have been into this meditation. Meditation is nothing but a conscious choice of our minds, to physically keep away from those tangible elements in our external milieus, which are causing drift and flux in our lives. And then, with practice, meditative loneliness consciously brings about the intangibles into our mind consciousness. Gradually, as our brains build up new and facilitative neural pathways and synapses, we begin to feel the joys and satisfaction of the true wellness and happiness. The brain changes physiologically and gets aligned to the actual wellness and happiness.
The human mind, the functional mechanism of brain structures, has instinctive mechanism to universalize goodness as well as evil. What we feed in it is not its concern. This is the role of intellect. The intellect is the intangible faculty to be in control of the instinctive as well as the culturally learnt behaviours, to objectively assess all life-living choices with holistic logic.
The universe has not put us where we are today with any specific purpose of designed goodness. We have to design our purpose. As we repeat this objective mind training to our brain, the objective goodness would spread all throughout its neural circuitry.
The notion of neuroplasticity says that brain can actually create new pathways to institutionalize this objective goodness. And then, we won’t have to think twice to perform goodness, as it would then become an instinct, and thus an involuntary mechanism, like a hand moving away involuntarily as it touches fire.
It has to be understood and accepted with all humility and compassion that a real good human is not one who needs to think and then behave and act good. Rather, it is one who does not have to think, as all his behaviours and actions are instinctively bound to be good. We don’t consciously remember when we drive a car or cook a meal as it is instinctive, even when they were once learned behaviours.
Objective goodness is also learned behaviour. But when we repeatedly practice it, it becomes instinctive. Meditative state of mind consciousness is first step to check our instinctive body-mind mechanism. We meditate to train our brain to gradually accept the utility of non-action – a state of conscious inaction.
In our daily routine lives, we seldom rely on the faculties of our discretionary mind. Things are on the fast lane and keep driving is the survival instinct. However, this adds loads of clutter and drift in our subconscious self. When we meditate, we train our brains to do away with its instinctive choice of action-reaction utility. We consciously tell our brains that we are not into action-reaction business but in a self-retrospection mode. We are into a choice and option-building mode. We are into unlearning mode to settle on some new learning, which have deeper and larger utilities in our lives.
As we attain this, we enter the domain of new cognitive feelings and realizations. Meditative brilliance is all about empowerment of self towards attainment of meta-cognitive revelations. Life-living wellness and excellence is all about expanding your consciousness and cognitions to higher plane of existence. From there, roads to bliss starts...
