Naked Solutions Of Dressed up Life Woes by Santosh Jha (top rated ebook readers .txt) 📖

external inputs; for actionable behavior, is just the reflection or imagery of your internality’.

Somehow, the new science also confirms the same.

The big issue, which comes as a huge opportunity as well as challenge for all of us; the thinking men and women, is to accept and understand this ‘mechanism’ of human body-brain structures.

The biggest advantage of humanity, over all other species, is essentially two elements of consciousness. They are – Subjective Feeling and Faculty of Imagination, as these two elements are most pronounced and effective in humans. This is an outcome of our more complex brain states, which we can say as the superior one over all other creatures.

Given this hypothesis, which still needs larger and objective confirmation for finality of wisdom, the thinking men and women have a brilliant agenda at hand. It is – This subjectivity and imagination tool makes our body a brilliantly mystical ‘Theatre’ of potential and possibilities. This theatre however, is suggested to be taken just as a ‘medium’, not as the ‘protagonist’.

We all feel this, at least at times, if not always that the body as theatre of life is just a medium, not the protagonist. It means there is some energy, which works as the ‘protagonist’.

Take this metaphor of theatre in its entirety. A theatre is where a play is enacted or takes place, but the act, the play has its ‘script’ emanating from an ‘environment’, which may be endemic or exotic – local or universal.

Similarly, the body, as a theatre, plays acts, which has a ‘script’ to it and this script may be written, in our sub-conscious minds, with either very localized ‘factors and actors’ from its ambient milieu or with universal and exotic milieu.

This metaphor opens up the gate of potential and possibilities for us. We all need to have diversity and versatility of milieus, in which our body works. This shall in turn ensure; the scripts of the acts and plays our body-mind mechanism houses as a theatre, are also diverse and versatile, enthralling ‘audiences’ and adding ‘value’ to the milieu in turn.

This entire situation creates a very simple ‘requirement’, for excellence of our collective as well as individual wellness. That is; all thinking men and women need to transcend the boundaries of our body’s internal faculties of subjective feeling and power of imagination and this shall be possible only when we intentionally and skillfully, stretch the internal as well as external milieus around our body.

This becomes possible only when our subjectivity and imagination have leveled ground of tolerance, openness, mutuality and above all, the magical element of forgiveness.

This theatre of body must enact the song of love, dance of compassion, dramas of affability and symphony of mutuality, well before time draws the curtain on the theatre. It is not some clichéd moralistic blabber, but a very practical and realistic need for peaceful and happy life.

It is very simple to understand and accept that body-mind positioning of different people need to be diverse, as this ensures variety and versatility to the society. This is in fact a good thing as this ensures larger wellness to more people in the society.

The fact however remains that despite difference in consciousnesses; different people are the same as they have not only commonality of mechanism but also a very apparent symbiosis to it.

This is revealed to us and is easy to accept when we step aside our daily life flux, rise above the instinctive ‘reaction-mode’ consciousness and enter the ‘reception-mode’. We have the brilliance as a huge problem solver because we have this unique and largely exclusive facility of this ‘reception-mode’ mechanism.

We need to master this mode and then it would be amply clear that most of our problems and troubles are actually our own making as we ourselves dress them up. As we undress the problems, solutions shall automatically be seen standing right there.

We As ‘Generic’ And ‘Specific’ Subject

WE ARE ALL USED TO believing ourselves as some ‘subject’ or ‘protagonist’, doing everything and being the cause of everything. Modern science however says, there are different ‘subjects’ within the broad subject of ‘self’. Hundreds of years back, spiritualism has already said the same thing.

There is a ‘Generic Subject’, which scientists term as the ‘auto-function’ mechanism of our body-mind synchrony. Then, there is a ‘Specific Subject’. This is our reception-mode consciousness.

In our normal daily life, it is this generic subject within us, which is doing everything, as it is the auto-reactive mechanism. It is in times of distress, confusion, extraordinary situations or crisis that the specific subject, which is an entity of non-reactive, receptive mind consciousness, comes to fore and takes good control of life.

We rise up in the morning, ready to go to work, take a train or drive a car, finish off the daily work, come back in the evening, play with kids, have diner and go to bed. The generic subject handles it all quite well. Usually, for most moments in a day, we never ever deeply feel our subjectivity – the deep feeling that ‘we’ did it all. We seldom have the need for imagining things with deeper inputs from ‘Me’.

However, when there is a crisis, a problem, this generic subject lands in trouble as it has the nature of handling ‘routine’ things, which is instinctive. Problems need specific inputs from subjective imaginations and it is a domain of the reception-mode consciousness of specific subject.

For majority of us, our lives are dominated by the action-mode generic subject and this is because, it is this subject, which deals with routine affairs. The trouble is; we all live in a culture where most success benchmarks are of action-mode. Naturally, the generic subject is hailed as the ‘winner’ and star-performer.

Sadly, reception mode is considered regressive and primitive. It is neither put to use quite often nor is it relied upon as effective tool. The usually ‘winner’ reactive-subject is unconsciously assigned the task of even problem solving and this subject further aggravates the trouble by precariously dressing it up.

The reactive-mode generic subject does not seem to have this ‘winning’ ability and leisurely timeframe to ‘undress’ a problem to arrive at ‘naked’ solutions. The receptive-mode specific subject is the ‘master’ of this art, on whom we usually do not rely and relegate to backseat.

The trouble most of us have is this: We have blurred the fine line of distinction between the two modes. Even when, we are supposed to be in ‘receptive mode’, we are ideating in ‘actionable’ patterns. We all live in such a contemporary societal space where every reception is culturally required to be converted into action mode.

Someone said it very innocently but sincerely – “Even when I am hugging and kissing my lover, I am not focusing on the joy of love and satisfaction of intimacy but on the idea that whether I am ‘performing’ well enough as a lover!” Our obsession with ‘actionable’ consciousness is corroding the potential joys and abilities of the receptive-mode subject.

There is a Japanese term called Shikan Taza, which is practiced by Zen masters. The word literally means ‘Just Sit’. There are many interpretations of the term as a ‘meditation-art’. However, what it means, in its holistic form is – “Sitting in a state without any tangible and intangible thought for action”.

It is essentially a practice of arriving and staying at ‘receptive-mode’ mechanism of consciousness. Shikan Taza then opens the doors for higher consciousness, where perspective is holistic, assimilative and integrative. Here, problems are naked, unburdened of the dressing up of actionable-fabrics.

In Yoga and Vedic traditions of ancient Oriental world, we also have many such meditative techniques, which look like similar art. This only goes on to establish that wellness and goodness needs, across humanity, irrespective of cultural differences are the same and even the art and science to attain this are similar.

New Thinking On Consciousness, Cognition And Causality

THERE IS THIS POPULAR perception that the world is growing more problematic as overall, complexities of living environment is growing fast and individuals are more stressed, even in their normal life. However, researches also confirm that this world has growingly become a better place to live, with standard of living and overall support system getting better.

If we think of it, this is in fact the carnival time for humanity, definitively a phase in evolution to celebrate with jubilation, not because we have managed to build more structures and other facilities for our consumption and better living. The reason for jubilation is that we now have reached to a ‘new wisdom’, which is fast and decisively coming up for all of humanity. This ‘new thinking’ is a huge facility for understanding the ‘mechanisms’ of all our problems and troubles and then, singularly working for a satisfying solution.

There has been and shall always remain the critical three elements, which represent the core of all wisdom. In the past, humanity has attempted to give answers relating to questions in these three areas. The future also pertains to understanding them better with whatever novel and better tools available for humanity. Most of the problems and troubles, we face have connection with these three questions. They are:

The subjective self – the Consciousness – the ‘Observer’

The objective matter – the Cognition – the ‘Observed’

The interaction of self and matter – the Causality – the ‘Observance’.

We live in a world, which has definitively entered a doorway of new time threshold, opening up new information, insights, theorization, pragmatism, perspective, paradigms and methodology into the existing as well as archetypal wisdom about the above three. As we see the notions of ‘Observer – Observed – Observance’ in the light of this new thinking, we can understand the whole mechanisms of our problems and solutions in a better and effective ways.

Humanity in the new millennium is most certainly evolving a holistic, assimilative and integrative wisdom model, comprising a judicious and innovatively insightful assimilation and integration of archetypal wisdom of spiritualism and philosophy as well as the pure sciences in its wider manifestation. The quantum physics is the indicator of the new frontier science is now willing to open, as an improvement over classical science, for better understanding of matter and consciousness.

We have now entered a phase of an understanding of the ‘self’, the subjective as well as objective consciousness and even the subconscious minds as never before. We can now understand the ‘self’ in such new and innovative lights that it opens up new insight into the archetypal and puts us all in better stead. Of course, the knowledge is evolving but evolving fast and on right track. Debatable, it shall always be.

How this new thinking helps in solving our key problems and troubles, we can understand with the help of this example, which is very common in our lives. This is the problem of judging and being judged by people, which makes us sad and very upset, to the brink of being left with a broken heart.

Problem Of Judging Those, Who Judge Us

THERE ARE WHOLE LOTS of those who know you; those who think they know you and those who do not know you at all – they all shall judge you. The thing is – you always feel bad and even angry about why anyone should judge you. Earlier, the issue was in the domain of morality and as we did not understand the whole mechanism of this human trait, we felt pained and unhappy.

As this new thinking of proven scientific knowledge tells us, we can understand and accept that this is not at all something of a bad habit; rather it is an instinctive mechanism with all creatures, even the superior humans.

Science says, all creatures see things in the outside world as ‘images’ and these images are made inside the mind. The mind then has to refer it to various set of neurons for ‘reference’, which you may call as ‘judgment’.

The very word called ‘judging’ and its emotional troubles are in fact ‘cultural troubles’, emanating out of an innocuous, innocent and innate mechanism of ‘referral of mind’, which all living beings,
