...It was a good read. <i>“Lift the eyes to the self”.</i><br /><br />I think human beings will eventually come to understand that they are a part of Nature. Little children play with toy cars and guns and dolls, and grow up to play with real cars and guns and dolls. We come into this world and we are conditioned by the world and take up its aims and pursuits, as though they are our own. But society is a human play, drama, enactment. We do not understand what Nature has in mind for us. That the human personality is a vehicle for consciousness, and that the evolution of the personality is preparation for consciousness. It is only in the human being, that self-knowledge can dawn and rise. That there may be consciousness in this Universe (Rishis), as far evolved from Man as the streetlamps to the stars. And that the role of consciousness in Nature, for the human being, is only just beginning. After 200,000 years on the road – what do we want? Do we even know, who we are? What we are?<br /><br />There is something so beautiful inside of a human being; people cry with joy when they uncover it. Hear it, feel it; then see it face to impervious face. It doesn’t belong to any church, creed, ideology or dogma. It has no ‘societal’ goals (it is not a child). It just IS, and is the Life of the inner world - of Nature. It’s energy drives everything on to its own fulfilment.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
