JANU: Exploring is the theme for today, though the subject is reality. When everything that is only exists within the parameters of its existence, are the parameters real? What does reality mean? How can it be described or defined? Can words accomplish this? Are words real? Not in every reality. Even in physical life, their meaning can be ambiguous, and only have meaning that’s ascribed to them. So, what is real and what is not? Is a thought real, and in what sense? Thoughts come and go, and change on a dime, so to speak. Is life for real? And what does that mean? If life records itself, and nothing is lost, then what is retrieved or saved?
Reality exists in the moment and expresses from moment to moment, but even that moment passes into memory and life’s own recording, called ‘life patterns.’ So, how does one become conscious in the moment, so that past and future exist as one? Let us take the chime of a bell. In time it sustains its tone, briefly, but its pattern is recorded in its substance, in that which vibrates with it. But whether rung or not, is it still a bell? Whether an individual is conscious or not, what is still real? Does ‘eternity’ have any meaning, any reality of the moment in the so-called Now?
Taking all of this into consideration, where is the merit, the nature, the essence? Even the question suggests presence, position, location, time. Parameters of the limited existence, the limitation of words. Is ‘pure being’ part of this or does it somehow find itself a part of unlimited reality? What then is without limit, parameters of existence, boundaries, unique description? What then has value, meaning, and purpose?
The Truth of Life, the so-called Light. What is true and what is not? Or does reality include them both? Deciding to know is the challenge and opportunity for revelation. Namaste.
