Don't Change Nature but embrace Nature's cycle

The nature and the life the way it is created is perfect. The circle of life is self sustaining. Death and Birth are completely cyclical and there is nothing cynical about what goes in nature. The wrath of nature be it a Tsunami, A Cyclone, An Earthquake, A Wild Fire, A Drought or Famine are natural but essential parts of natures cycle to replace and rejuvenate life to a more fuller extent. These acts of elements should be fully respected and that respect can be given only by acceptance and a deep understanding of nature by not being short sighted.
The balance on which the ecosystem is build is quite extensive. The plants by nature are disease resistant. However if not controlled or pruned there will be over growth of a species which will in turn destroy the balance of the ecosystem by over consuming certain minerals, destroying there own species long term survival. Hence there are certain specific animals to graze on specific plants and specific insects that eat those specific plants. In return the vegetation is kept pruned and in control and also various mechanisms ensure that the plants propagate, survive and reseed far away from the source plants. Diversity and co-dependence is tightly interwoven in nature.
Nature creates perfect patters, perfect geometrical patterns everywhere. All the elements have perfect patterns and as the elements act on they create symmetry holistically.

When Humans intervene in the world and nature, we look from our perspective and create imbalances in the symmetrical pattern of the nature. Inevitably the balance that is supposed to exist is lost. For example when we move forests and start growing organized crop in those lands, the ecological balance false apart at some time. We first destroyed the entire forest cover and the animals which call the ecosystem home. This effects the Oxygen released by these forest and the carbon dioxide content. This inevitably effects the rain patterns, mineral content created by plant and animal decomposition on the top layers of the soils, absorption of water into ground.
As the quality of soil, air and water disintegrates with organized farming, humans resort to weather manipulation, fertilizer, insecticides and pesticides with an intent to protect and improve crops which only worsens the eco system polluting them beyond habitable measures and over the period a thick forest becomes desert devoid of all life.
Our human perspective of handling nature, handling life, handling our families and others has been flawed. We cannot acknowledge that conflict at one level is necessary as a required activity at another level. Things are self sustaining and when interfered will backfire on our own. The paths get changed, and creates a cyclical level of conflict that never seemingly resolves.
We need to understand that we need to understand nature, our own inner self and be aware of what is happening around us. We should learn to have patience and perseverance in all things happening. We should stop playing a human game and looking at only gains, pains, problems, sicknesses. We have to realize that all things which happen to us in our life are natural and we should learn to embrace everything which is given and thrown at us. Things which are perceived in negative context are necessary and much essential. We should not try to get rid of things which we perceive as negative. We should look everything which happens in our lives as objectively as possibly. We should have have the highest level of involvement in "the now" and at the same time practice detachment from everything objective (Living or non-living). This is achieved by improving our level of self-consciousness by being self-aware of everything around us and accepting of the reality of illusionary world offerings. Our ability to continually reflect upon our own lives is quiet essential to know our now and detach from everything else which has passed or which has not occurred.
The capacity of self awareness directly impacts our capability to be awaken and open up. Self consciousness behavior is necessary as much as spontaneity to live without fear. Spontaneity is highest and the most natural form of life.
We need to develop that self-knowledge and this occurs  when we start realizing and accepting that we are not doing things as it is meant to be by design and as nature intended. We have to stop looking outside of us and start looking inside of us and stop trying to associate our feelings, thoughts and emotions outside of us and being impacted by activities outside of us. We need to greatly start looking into our own feelings and thoughts and the cause of all the impatience within us. Knowing that all the worldly things wont impact our Soul and our journey we should let things happen and be a spectator and take in every experience life offers. We need to start trusting our instincts, stop taking decisions and passing judgement. This is the ultimate need achieved by keeping aside the egos and avoiding the very cause of repentance which leads to sin and guilt
In taking in what ever is sent at us and doing what the nature does we become and embrace life and become life. Our soul's vibrations realigns with the elements and with the source that we recognize and resonate at the highest frequency. We are LIFE and we become LIFE and embrace our truest potential as Source the Parmatman.

Learning to not "Holding on to something"

We are creatures of habit. We are mentally programmed through our millions of years of evolution to move towards our comfort zone that we have become habituated to. We become creatures of habit over period of time, conditioned to accept and be around objects, places and people that we feel comfortable with.
We get held up in a place without experiencing what all the nature offers, we hold onto to material objects and possession and drive to accumulate more of these possessions without realizing that these mean nothing in our after life while instead of we enjoying the ownership more often than not these objects control the owner.
The same applies to people and relationships, at some times we get so immersed in one person or family that we fail to look into ourselves, discover our goals, experience life. People, friends and family come with expectations of all sorts, like-wise we create all kind of expectations. When things don't work out we try to intervene and try to make things work as per our "expectations". In doing so we become
1. Judgmental of others characters, actions
2. Become a Critique of situations (Criticizing)

By being Judgmental of others looks, actions and feelings we are allowing others to do the same of us, creating a loop unto ourselves which is self-defeating. By being a critique of situations we drain ourselves of our core life energies our "Prana" / "Chi" and simply throw it away as being in this Critique state means we fall down in our frequency and thus radiate out / loose out the higher frequency. The loss is something which is not immediately retrievable, we have to be rebuild our capacity and frequency back and is not an easy task as to not being critical of situations, objects and people.
In more than one way we eventually get held down in lower frequencies. Hence it is not in our best interest not be Judgmental of others or even ourselves.

Secondly we need to realize that Places, Objects, People and relationships alike don't last for ever and hence we should not have such expectations. We need to cherish our experiences with everything and everyone with our fullest heart and in that moment. If we have certain duties and responsibilities  or obligations we have to ensure that they are fully delivered. But beyond these we should never be attached to these.
The life which is available and offered by the universe is immense, what limits us from experiencing life is "Ourselves" or "Mind". The block is within. We keep holding onto to the past, We hold on Grudges, We hold on to pain, We hold on to EXPECTATIONS, We hold on to memories of the past. In holding on we never move forward, we never can be in our current or the Present and hence cannot experience the life it was meant to be.
More often than not because of all that we Hold on to and limiting ourselves we lock down our potential unable to unlock ourselves out of our self imposed exile.
2018 and all the years before that are gone. All the times good and bad are history and are inconsequential truly. What matters is the now, what matters is what we want to experience now in this very moment.
I want to start becoming sensitive of myself, learning to calm down, disconnect from the past and situations around me, start not to judge anything and everything which comes across, instead look forward for moving ahead and being aware of our deep self.
If we experience pain, or a feeling of loneliness or to be with someone learn to calm down our minds first. Once our mind is calm and doesn't wander wildly it is time. It is time for self enquiry, the answer to what bothers us, why it bothers can be found.
The answer in all the cases is one...we are not connected to our self, we look outwardly. Being inward and being aware and accepting that all the things around us is an illusion and will change as we change our perspective of this life.

Where and How did it start for me?

Our spiritual journey started the moment we entered this World. The journey however starts on a low note, we are born into a deep sleep where we are wiped out off all our previous experiences and memories. We seem to be starting on fresh plate. The part of kicking of the journey is self realization where we slowly over a period of time become aware, and continue to step out of our deep sleep like state and increasingly know our true self and are ultimately liberated and fully awake when we leave this world.
When I was around 4th or 5th class (10 year old) I used to have a re-occurring dream about existence and souls which till today is rather very clear.
In this dream I am presented of a world in which there is a something like a bright source which is pure form of ultra bright energy form which has no beginning nor any end. Out of this source a speck of energy form extends further away from the center of the source to create / become part of an experience. Let's call this experience creation process being triggered by Maya (Illusionary intent). This individual energy speck though it never really separates itself from the source based on its experience either moves away or towards the center of the Source. This independent movement from the center of the source feeds the source back with various experiences empowering it. As such there multiple illusionary worlds being created by many independent energy specks with varying levels of complexities. The level of complexities will define how much movement in levels we experience in relation to the proximity with the center of the source.
Our intent of existence in this world is to make our way back to the source and as close to the center as possible after we exit this world. This world is an illusionary creation of ourselves to magnify and provide with experiences. We during this illusionary existence try to increase and improve our energy vibrations and raise up to resonate in vibration with the source. Once this resonating frequency is achieved we self assimilate with source.
If we run out of time, we restart again and continue this journey as a new life form and continue acquiring experiences and getting higher in vibrations and aligning with source vibrations. This process continues till the goal of realignment is achieved. We at end of our journey assess our experience and vibrational frequency achieved and at our own choice pickup the time, place, society and family optimal for our amplifying the needed experience. The suffering or hardships that we experience is our choices and making. No matter how bad all the hardships and suffering emotions that keep occuring during our life there is neither good or bad in the suffering as ultimately these happen to serve our own purpose of our journey.
Our journey has no Gods to guide and look upto. We are own creators and makers of our own experiences. We have to walk this path on our own. Salvation, Mukti or Moksha that we are all taught about it all about unification of our Atman (Soul) with the Paramtman(Holy Soul/ Source).
This dream was a reoccurring theme with depictions of light being bent and becoming a little greyer and elevating itself to the brightest self.
I also had vivid memories of waking up and seeing myself (body) through a 2nd person perspective and though I am someone else. It was odd but I wanted to see myself as others would see me. All this dreams and memories kept me on a constant hunt to understand myself and evolve and as years past and I grew close to religions and then away I slowly but surely made sense of the Spiritual journey that was being projected within me. Fast forward to today I have a greater clarity, and an yearning to seek more real experiences and journey towards self-assimilation and merger with source. I see the patterns and illusions that this world offers. As I opened up I get to see and realize the dual nature of this world like Ying-Yang, Good and bad is what keeps this world going. Moving to neutrality away from duality will improve our vibrational frequency. And this for me is journey and a challenge thrown at myself everyday.
I hope your own personal journey on seeking the truth is realized soon.

Defining God and God's qualities

Today we are not in a position to define our own self. We have little to no understanding who we are, where we come from, where would we end up and what are true purpose of existence is.
The least we try to do in this process is to create a personality and associate ourselves with that created, conditioned and made-up personality, rarely exploring ourselves.
In this same way we try to identify certain traits and qualities that we find pleasing and acceptable societally. As we have been incorrectly being building personalities of ourselves we have for ages being trying to personalize God with a character and qualities. Any attempt to put a definition to crack this would not be right, because when we are unable to define in entirety a smaller creation like ourselves how are we eligible, qualified enough to define the very source of creation in entirety. What we have come to know of God and source is culturally fed and societies existentially conditioning and nothing beyond it.

Yes perhaps the true nature of source is "The Creator, The Creation and everything within it". This source is something we are all truly part of, but we try to experience it and dissolve in it while being it. This is strange but the truth. We are in no position to completely comprehend the Truth about God, know about the source, make knowledge about.
We can experience and know about God by dissolving and becoming part of the source and hence becoming our true nature which is source.
The True answer to that we have to seek the answer for ourselves and not dwell in what we are being told or taught about. We are The Seekers of Truth, knowing is not believing. Knowing is experiencing ourselves first hand.
