( I feel after long time, I am writing something to be read with introspection, specially if you are connected to me as a team).
Einstein: “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”
If one looks at Einstein, Schrödinger, Buddha, Osho, Gandhi, and the long long list of those who have really brought insights that we use to run our world , one will find that a few points or moments of departure from their then level of consciousness , was all that it took. Rest was logical and mechanical. This is even true in simpler daily lives – one departure from noise and the revelations thereof are all that are remembered as key highlights in personal journeys.
One’s consciousness level is often dictated by the already rooted notions, built in logics (with unrecognized assumptions), and own goals within them. It clouds all other perceptions out there presented by different levels of consciousness.
For example, a boy tuned into loud music will not be able to hear what signals a honey bee is bringing. A boy interested in honey bees for honey income, will see those but he may be so limited by it that it will be lost that honey bee is also telling about a coming rain. And even more evolved person may be able to see it all, yet knows only to go along and not be able to find their imprint.
Remember the devastating Tsunami, wild animals escaped mostly. They picked up signals and went along. Humans had lost that level of consciousness. I have written articles but won’t go there in this write up, about how elements also pick up the cue of our work and start acting in creating forests.
Now a days, I meet a lot of people broadly categorized in five:
- One (this is mass but thankfully not my majority connects), whose consciousness is all about an artificial money system, their power systems, their markets, their structures- political, business and bureaucratic, their own insecurities, and plans within them.
- Two - those who have tried above and have achieved success in good measure but they realize its been a waste of their life and planet’s future. Earlier I would not share the meeting and pics of these folks on my SM, but now of late they are there.
- Three: those who understood and started with a higher consciousness and kept falling for above two. Won’t name anyone, my close friends are aware enough to understand. But these are soon found apologizing everywhere because the world that runs the category ONE wants to make a failure showcase out of them.
- Four: Those who understand above, have the ability to transcend levels. But they feel indebted or are fixated to human and planet struggle- political, systematic. We learn from each other.
- Five: Who have gone beyond it. Example – Premanand Maharaj ji can be granted whatever he wishes, but he is away from any physical distraction, just focusing on opening folks’s consciousness to higher level.
In this journey, and like a normal educated person with backlog, it had to be from Level one. When I met a person at different level, it took time. Initial resistance to nullify a higher level, and discard it confused is natural. In addition, such a person is a hard nut. I could see their power, their connections, and then their penance. It appeared that they were unable to ‘use’ anything around them, specially connects to get their own things done.
And I had a use for all of it, and would urge them to use it. But Gurus would not take interest. They had interest in me, not in my current level.
This is a familiar story, especially in India since we have some artificially imposed poverty and pressures. But the difference was I kept trust and patience and let the mentor decide. And one day the mentor said you have surpassed me. But by then, I had lost use for all that lower level planning plotting. (remember Shaolin’s 36th Chamber).
This is also a constant process for me, and am still a student.
