This Universe is a great energy field and the earth is also a huge energy field. Science says that energy never dies. The physical world is pulsating with energy. Energy transforms into energy. What we call consciousness is the greatest mystery of science.
Awakened ones tell us how to be a conscious being. One consciousness pervades this entire universe. The earth is pulsating in consciousness. Energies of winds swaying energies of trees to dance. Birds fluttering wings in excitement and animals sprinting. And a child is contentedly smiling in the beingness of energy.
Life is an amazing play of consciousness. Animals, trees, humans, the universe, and planets are pulsating in consciousness. Earth is speeding around the sun in consciousness. It is a dance of energy fields. We are energy. When you look at someone’s eyes you get energy there.
Earth came into existence some 14 billion years ago and life started 4 billion years ago. The storehouse of all energies on earth is consciousness. A resource that doesn’t let up. All energies grow out of consciousness Neuro-electric system in our body produces 100 watts of energy. One hundred watts of energy is enough to run a fan and few lights. Our body constantly generates heat to stay at 36.11 degree Celsius. Senses are run on energy. In deep embrace, energies of two beings become one.
When a child is conceived an energy field is constructed in the womb of the mother. A field of consciousness incarnates the energy field. Body of a child embodies inside the womb. The child is born a mine full of energy and pure consciousness embodies the body. When born the child looks at the mesmerizing world outside. A world of light, colour, sound and senses.
The child does not know who he is. Slowly he identifies his mother and identifies himself to be a given name. But the child is never the name of the child. A word is never a thing. It is a symbol. He identifies a world around him. That becomes his world. He learns to express language. The world around him pressurises him to be a somebody, not him. To follow what society considers successes in life poses a great challenge to him. A whole neurosis that poisons society is bred in his mind.
To be a somebody, deep down one has to accept that one is nothing. Therefore a somebody is born. A child has to change the nature that he is born with. To change the quality that he has endowed from nature. He has to change the matrix of thoughts to adorn the feather of that somebody.
An artificial wanting is born in the mind. An artificial craving to lend some meaning to life. A deep crisis begins. A deep obsession with successes is born. One’s success depends on failure of another. It is measured in comparisons with what others are doing. Narrative of successes keeps changing in society.
Initially from being a pure consciousness and a field of energy, one is hypnotized by the madness of successes and failures in the physical world. A wide gap appears between one and one’s thoughts. Between what one is and what one thinks one is, the gap keeps widening.
Man thinks that only successes will lend significance to life, the real meaning to his life. But a failure stares at him from behind every success. Future is always certain. To make it certain man has invented the Gods of Successes and Failures to act as Gods of Future. Pressure from society and pressure from Temple Organizations breed fear of insecurity of a defeat. Man is forced to worship the Gods of Successes but somehow it seems his prayers are heard by the Gods of Failures.
Astrology is a great science that could predict a probability of a future event. But it is not destiny. Astrology can point towards a probability exactly like a probability in a Quantum Theory which collapses when the observer is present. Like Buddha who was destined to be a great Emperor ended up an ascetic. Because the observer, that Buddha was, destined to be what that observer wanted to be destined. Not that what astrologer predicted it to be destined. But the theory of society forces you to please the Deities and Lords of Planets who pose threats to your success. Dogmatic prayers are outsourced to priests because Gods of Successes do not hear without them.
Society and religion go hand in hand. Society is run on the social-political authority. The best way to establish a successful socio-political authority is through the temple power. Kings in all civilizations either assumed the role of demi-Gods or kept God’s organizations by their side to stay in power. The one who didn’t couldn’t avoid oblivion. As much as it is a surprising oxymoron that a godless man like Adolf Hitler tried to appropriate the legacy of Friedrich Nietzsche to dub a meaning to the madness he was doing.
Surprisingly, awakened ones Buddha, Mahavira, Krishna, Christ and others are exploited by God’s Organizations to help succeed or to be richer to get fame. The awakened ones lit the flame of awakening to make you wake up in a world plagued by slumber. Gods of Successes are like pliable Gods in the hands of humans who are being exploited for success.
Your perception of competition has made you a beggar. To get ahead humanity has gotten far behind. Far behind animals. Man’s fear of staying behind in the rat race has birthed the belief in the Gods of Successes. Gods of Successes are neither Gods of Successes nor Gods of Failures. In fact, they are the ones who were ultimately successful. The ones who were born as humans but attained Godhood and passed on the roadmaps of the journey to humanity. Milestones are not prayers of successes but are roadmaps to walk on them.
A godly man is truly successful. He does not crop a desire to succeed or to defeat someone. Therefore, he cannot be defeated because he stays out of the race. You have fear of losing thus far you are in the race. You have to understand that you are born as an energy field. The source of that energy field is pure consciousness the one which has incarnated your body.
That fear of not being successful is the neurosis of the society. Energy is always childlike. Energy never lets you grow old. A gleam of love shines in your gaze when you see a beloved. A smile automatically dawns lips when you close your eyes. A flow of energy is dancing all around. And to be one with the flow of energy is our destiny.
Look that who is the energy in the birds. In trees it is revealed in the tree-ness of its being. In flowers it is revealed in the flower-ness of its being. Pure consciousness is revealed in the flowered being. Look into the flowerness of being from the pure consciousness of your being. You will find the two energy fields become one.
Let the energy dance. Mind is also part of the energy but we have let the mind employed to the society. Society corrupts the mind and makes it miserable. Not that poor people are miserable but even billionaires, despite them being ahead of the competition, are miserably miserable. Nature does not breed competition. Your successfulness is a statement against failures of others. When one does not want to defeat others one tends to become truly successful. One comes out of the rat race.
Sportfulness, meditation, mindfulness, wakefulness being in the pureness of your energy and being in the beingness of the being is like being one with the energy. Be the energy. Be yourself. Be successful.
