At the very outset, it can be said with deep inner conviction that almost everything in life – Good, Bad or Ugly, has loads to offer to all of us. It needs to be accepted with equanimity of consciousness that ‘learning’ as well as ‘unlearning’ opportunities seldom come with suitability to our personal conveniences. They come as randomly as are life’s situations – real or deemed. Still everything has utility...
Secondly, it also needs to be accepted with great humility and over-riding sense of deep satisfaction that every person, young or old, has the right to feel, understand and accept, these randomized life situations, in whatever way, a particular or different shades of consciousness make them possible for the mind.
As the wise have said – Nothing beyond one’s consciousness can be accepted as happening and this consciousness is never constant and stagnant. Therefore, the 3Cs – Confusion, conflict and chaos is embedded in the very mechanism of the 3Cs – Consciousness, Cognition and Causality. Therefore, hypocrisy is the primeval and innate realism for humanity. Individuals may overcome the hypocrisies in good measure but humanity in general shall always engage themselves in an unending battle against hypocrisy.
That is why, we all must understand and fully respect and appreciate someone’s judgment of a life-situation at a particular stage of life and as per a particular shade/s of his or her consciousness, he or she is in. In larger transition and ephemerality of life, consciousness and subjective positions accepted by individuals as well as collective are also an integral realism. Acceptance of this realism is empowerment as with this empowerment comes all other virtues – tolerance, non-violence and compassion.
After accepting the above generalization, it needs to be said that even when, we all accept and appreciate that perception and judgment of life situations may be very subjective and very specific to ambient milieus and contemporary set of realities (real or deemed), still, there are always an objective realism and a singularly ‘right’ judgment.
It has a reason. The consciousness, which almost always guides us to take judgment of right and wrong, is essentially very ‘localized’. The subjective consciousness has general inability to look beyond immediate and local factors. For example, when your toe hurts, you cannot remember anything else and focus all your attention to the toe, even when your other organs seek equal attention. This is our mechanism and we are all designed like that.
Our consciousness, which is our judge, usually factors in only the ambient and localized elements of our ambient milieus. Science says – brain mechanism is essentially an inhibitory system. This means – our brain is best at processing one idea at one time. Multi-tasking is something our brain does not like much...!
But then, there always remains an objective and singular truth. The realism is – truths cannot be created, it can only be deciphered as truths have already been created, well before consciousnesses and perceptions came to matter on earth and the universe…
Also, it has to be accepted that subjective consciousnesses of different people can be different and therefore, the perception and judgment about life situations also can be diverse and probably competitively multiple. The objective and singular realism is, as we all are in different shades of consciousnesses and all of us have different sets of localized milieus, our perceptions and judgment cannot be singular.
Therefore, understanding, respecting and appreciating everyone’s subjective consciousnesses and their judgments is the singular objective realism, we all need to accept. Subjective consciousnesses are different and therefore perceptions are different and though we do have rights to express our different perceptions in collective space, the core human innocence of accommodation and peaceful-coexistence must go along…
As it has been said – Nothing external to your inner consciousness has any meaning and impact on you. That is why in our world, we have so many different and often competing isms and principles. However, for the wise, there is only a singular truth and realism. That is – Every person sees and accepts truth and realism as per his or her subjective consciousnesses and that is why, differences are inevitable. That is why there must always be tolerance and compassion in all mind consciousnesses towards all perceptions and perspectives. The expressions of all such competing ideas must have the same tolerance and compassion. This is the core and singular objective truth for we all...
