The Continuum of the Continuous !

-


We as humans tend to see life in the view from the maternity yard, to the cemetery, or somewhere where the body is burned to ashes. And we genuinely tend to believe that's it ! Which essentially makes humans, absolutely unessential as self's, as individuals. We forget to see ourselves as an separate event, in a dynamic process. Which simply means that life is not an event, but a process, of events like threads moving on. So it is a continuum, when the thread, began at the maternity ward and then changed to other forms at the point of death, and continues, so Life is not a universal mistake. Universe does not make a mistake. Its a irrelevant term.

So, why do we think in a sense that life is a box ? And much a cage. The fact I see is that, its a myth that we have created that contains us in a box, our own pretensions. And we play games as a religious person, a scientific person, a creationist, an atheist, and all are playing their games in their terms, which fits their questions, And that's where it all went wrong. There is absolutely no questions in life, Life is a flow, Life  is the ongoing act of experiencing. I remember a wise man's word that Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.  And we all are pretending to make questions, and seeking answers, as if like a person waiting for a train to arrive at train station. We live our lives, like a waiting room. For something to happen, never realizing that its happening right now. Even being alive in this way big universe, unimaginable, makes it worth a ride, a magical journey. Yet we say Life is unfair. We define in terms of circumstances the meaning of life.

And we live life fighting crimes, we spot mistakes everywhere,  and we are ready to give opinion anytime possible. I think that life is not about fighting crimes, its about fighting reasons that creates the crime. And enjoying this moment. And waking up, is not waking up, until one sees that the whole game that we are playing is not the game that it actually is. What we have created is just a satisfactory theory that says its fine ! And we go on missing the magic that we have in us.

You might not have heard of the ancient Greek symbol called 'Ouroboros'. But you should, because it is one of the most fascinating symbol. The Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'tail devourer,' and is one of the oldest mystical symbols in the world. It can be perceived as enveloping itself, where the past (the tail) appears to disappear but really moves into an inner domain or reality, vanishing from view but still existing.  Alchemical Symbol of Ouroboros Ouroboros is generally depicted as a Serpent or a Dragon biting its own tail. The first recorded history of such symbol is in Egypt at around 1600 BCE in the texts called    Enigmatic Book of the Netherworld. The symbol moved from Egyptians to Phoenicians and finally to Greeks. Where the symbol got its name OUROBOROS.  The symbol and the myth regarding the symbol is famous all over the world. In the Norse mythology its called Jormungandr. And in the Hindu mythology its related to the Kundalini Jagaran.

Heraclitus: The Brightest Star of Greek Philosophy

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher of Ephesus. He is possibly the first Greek philosopher to explain the unity in all experience. And how change is the only constant in the universe. Heraclitus is also sometime known as the Philosopher of Riddles. For many people don't understand him. Heraclitus introduced the world with the word 'Logos', which means that 'all things are one in some sense'. Even the opposites are needed for the occurrence of action. Heraclitus explained that change is the core of all things. And within the changing framework lies the unity of opposites.  Heraclitus by unknown artist  Osho in the book Hidden Harmony praises Heraclitus as the greatest Buddha of the world. He says,  Heraclitus is one of the greatest Buddhas of the world. In western philosophy his name is not part of the mainstream. The mainstream consists of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore. Heraclitus is something like an

The Concept of Equanimity !

Equanimity comes from a Latin word æquanimitas, which means to have an even mind. But the concept goes much deeper. Much of all ancient philosophies and religions talk about equanimity. Aequss meaning even, and Animus meaning mind/soul.   Marcus Aurelius, one of the stoic philosopher and an emperor in his book Meditations stated that: When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. In the context of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) Equanimity is used to describe the Brahman Nature. In more detailed understanding since the Brhaman cannot ever be explained. We can just rejoice its being. Hence Equanimity means the unattached and undisturbed being'ness. Which is what we all are primarily as. Not the state of mind which we exist upon but the pure sense of nature. The real nature. So, equanimity can
