[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Enjoyment: The bottom line!

 

Enjoyment: The bottom line!   All Life experiences will move through a range "full to empty or empty to full" (- It is just a way to describe) which the conditioned mind is not able to grasp. For the conditioned mind, to go from "full to empty," means to lose, to be worse off, to go down, etc. Likewise when someone is going from "empty to full," we label that as becoming better, improving, getting to the top, etc. Notice that our labeling will determine how we feel about our experience. Although we are the same human beings, we are different. Every human represents a particular point of an experience on the range of experiences. For instance, a fat man with a high appetite, low sexual libido, a funny personality and a great fear of heights; represents different ranges of different experiences, all in one "package" which we label as "John Doe." A thin, bulimic woman with a high sexual libido and bipolar personality, represents another range of experiences. There is nothing to judge or to label but to observe that there will be people in between those ranges of the fat guy and the thin woman. Life will offer us through all living beings different ranges of experiences and possibilities. Those things are never static, change is guarantee. Humans caged by their mental "static"conditioning, will be in charge of labeling and defining what is "right/wrong, good and bad." This creates a "traumatic" experience. Every experience in Life, is just that… an experience. We may go to sleep and never wake up again. That experience is out of our control. Choosing one experience in duality, will bring unavoidably the rejected one. So why choose? Why attach our consciousness to an ideal which will bring the opposite? Notice that because we are alive, then death is a certainty. Notice that because we are young, old age is certain. That is the range of experiences. We like to compare labels such as "young" is "better than" "old." However, it is a polarity of the same type of experience: Aging. Every single individual has a perception, a way of looking at things based on their conditioning. We like to label that as "true" or "truth," but it is just a perception. Many individuals are caught up in finding the "right" experience in Life, the "true" perception of "reality," and in that search, they are willing to fake it and will pursue what is not for them to experience. That is how we betray ourselves. If the "majority" sees a blue sky and I don't; I must believe that the sky is blue to fit in. Peer pressure. Majority rules. The power of the masses. What is the bottom line? To enjoy whatever perception we truly experience, for it is only a perception and it is meant to change, to evolve. What do we do instead? We want to hold on to a mental ideal of what "should be." We strive for that. We hear many times: "Be yourself." That is meaningless unless we are willing to de-conditioning by dissolving our beliefs, taboos, hang ups, ideals and values; that is what Spirituality is meant to bring. Someone may be experiencing a debilitating disease as an experience. What is there to enjoy? A disease does not come by itself but adds up a circumstance around our lives. There are many other items that come along. For instance, the opportunity to have free time, the opportunity to be in the company of loved ones, the opportunity to enjoy certain items which other "normal" individuals cannot. There are so many other things to enjoy around the circumstance. What do we do instead? We curse our lives, our "luck," the moment we were born, our parents. That focus in one particular aspect of Life which we reject will poison our being. Because we are so focused on that one thing, we are unable to see the rest, we do not have the capacity to step outside ourselves, out of the pitiful "I" to observe beyond our narrow tunnel of thoughts. Whatever it is, it will change. Enjoyment is around that "I." Enjoy that moment! There is nothing that could last forever. That is a great blessing, indeed!  :-)
