Love.

Chapter 2.

~~~~~~~~ Love ~~~~~~~~~
------------------------------------
We can see that 'consciousness is the 'relationship' between the 'perceived-objects' and the 'perceiving-consciousness' i.e. the 'subject'. The 'perceived-objects' seem to be many, where-as the 'perceiving-consciousness' in comparison to them, looks as if it is only 'one'.
When the objects are pleasing, one finds a chord of relatedness with them. But since the objects are many, this delight in their association always varies, and becomes lesser or more. Then the love of 'pleasurable-objects' itself becomes an 'object'. That is, the relation-ship becomes a desire.
It is what we call 'Love'. The very impersonal nature of 'consciousness' then becomes a habit, and owns an aura of 'personal-sense' around it.
In 'Love', one finds, or rather 'feels/experiences' a sense of gratification. A time-bound association with the object of 'Love', becomes a memory of 'identification', where-in the 'subject' i.e. the 'subjective-aspect' of the 'consciousness' gets apparently united with, merged into the 'feeling' /'experience'. This 'memory' is neither the 'object', nor the 'subject', and never the 'objective' or the 'subjective' consciousness. This memory projects a sense of being a 'person'.
The Mind becomes the victim of this illusion.
So, is 'Love' an activity, or it is the real state of 'being' in 'consciousness', which is 'ever-new'? We can also say it has nothing to do with 'time'. The 'idea' of time makes us believe that such a thing 'exists', and can be used to meet the goals.
This 'time', the psychological-time is thus of course an illusion only, -in memory.
We know there is physical time, i.e. the 'chronological' time, and it applies to the things of purely physical nature. 'Thought' defines it, and only through definition, it gives reality to that 'Time' as a 'concept'.
Time and space/distance are defined and measured in 'thought'. But taking those physical things as real is a grievous error of judgment on the part of the 'Mind'.
Just as 'Thought' defines and measures a physical Time and Space, and the physical objects in them, exactly so, it also 'projects' a sense of 'me' / 'I'.
Then the subjectivity-aspect of 'consciousness' gets attached to this 'Thought'/illusion.
All other 'thoughts' keep continued traffic in mind, where-as this central / core thought is never doubted, and so gradually becomes the strongest one.
The 'consciousness' where all this play occurs, remains unaffected. It reflects its 'Light' in 'objects', 'subject' and in their interplay, without interfering in any way.
The 'consciousness' can be seen as a witness, but then it is 'all' also. Because the 'objects', the 'subject' and their relationship, all happen in the Light of that unaffected witnessing consciousness, which is just pure attention.
Since It lacks any kind of division, to speak of it as a 'witness' or a 'witnessing-consciousness' is again a misleading statement.
This 'consciousness', and its "Light in the Heart of Things", is 'Life', The 'attention',
-The attentiveness.
Inquiring into the truth of the 'I'-Thought, which is in reality a 'projection' of the mind in 'consciousness', opens the doors of attention.
That is "Love" worth its meaning.
Then one is not separate from the EXISTENCE, the LOVE, and the LIFE.

Consciousness and The Life .
_____________________

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life is always SUBJECTIVE.
Or,
Is there a thing other than 'Life', that can verbally or non-verbally define or speak of 'Life' , and yet is NOT "SUBJECTIVE" ?
The entity that defines "Life" is always "SUBJECTIVE", "SELF-ASSERTIVE",
and,
"CONSCIOUS".
There is "EXISTENCE".
There is "SOME-ONE", 'conscious' of The "EXISTENCE".
It follows that only because "SOME-ONE" 'is' (read : 'exists'), one is capable of being 'conscious' of "EXISTENCE" also.
Therefore, 'existing' and being 'conscious' of "EXISTENCE" are mutually inseparable factors of a single phenomenon. If anything 'exists' there is a 'consciousness' of it, that is 'conscious' of this very thing. By no logic or experience, one can deny this ground of 'consciousness' which is essential to accept the existence of anything tangible or intangible.
So, There is a 'consciousness', and of course it 'exists' also. But that is a superfluous statement.
We have also noted that "LIFE" is 'consciousness', and 'consciousness' is ''LIFE''.
Again they are but two apparent names of an essentially one phenomenon .
Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of things, :
'SENTIENT', and 'IN-SENTIENT'.
'CONSCIOUSNESS' is always 'SUBJECTIVE', and because it perceives the whole "EXISTENCE" as a collective of "Objects", i.e. always in an 'objective'-way, it follows that it is at the same time, 'objective' also.
We therefore see that the phenomenon of 'consciousness' is always a 2-faceted functioning.

The Dual Nature of "consciousness".
Consciousness, Life, Existence, all represent the same thing. And Every one has an inherent duality in essence. This duality is manifest as 'object-subject' link. There is always an object, a subject, and the consciousness of them both.This 'Trinity' of 'object'-'subject'-'consciousness' or 'Life'-'Existence'-'consciousness' is essentially a single entity, but erroneously supposed to be a set of three.
Simple reasoning is sufficient to see that any one of them can never be in the absence of the other two.It simply means These apparently 3 depend totally and unconditionally, on the rest of the 2. So the idea that they are 3 different things is fundamentally an illusion of the mind.
Mind ?
Let us for the time being say; the 'Mind' is the contemplative faculty of the brain.
We don't know if an insentient object has such a faculty, We can of course claim that because such an insentient object has no brain, so no question of its mind can ever be raised.
Sentient and Insentient Things.

In Existence, we can divide the objects perceived by us in terms of 'Sentient' and 'Insentient'.
It seems that the 'Sentient' are endowed with a faculty of 'consciousness', where-as the 'Insentient' are deprived of this faculty.
Then again a 'Sentient'-one has always a perception of 'world and the things of that world' perceived through the senses, along-with of itself also. Then, outwardly one can see that there are some 'objects' which are very much like one-self in having this faculty of 'perceptivity' or 'consciousness'.
Then one 'thinks' (most probably in a non-verbal way) that 'one' is a particular kind of species. Say, a human, or an insect, or animal, bird, fish, etc.
Perhaps a tree or a creeper may also be added to this list of sentient beings.

Therefore, we say;

'Sentient Beings and Insentient Things'.


Again, These 'Sentient-Beings' have a faculty of 'consciousness', which enables them to sense the whole existence, and categorize it further into a pattern of numerous images in mind, according to one's perceptions of them.
This gives rise to another perception, that is of a 'self', which seems to be unchanging as compared to all the things of the 'perceived' world, that incessantly keep changing always.
This 'new' perception in the brain is again transformed into an abstract image of such a thing, which, in comparison to all the other perceptions, seems to be relatively unchanging.
This creates the illusion of one's separate 'identity'. Thought further strengthens this illusion.
Not inquiring into the nature of this 'identity', becomes the beginning of apparent sorrow, and one 'suffers'.
