The Flowering of the Mind

Promises & Traumas

There is seldom a mind … so open and subtle in its disposition … as to suggest the experience of a flower in full bloom. In such a condition … it enables us to see … man coming and going … in the experience of creation. It enabled the … Rishis of the Puranas … to create a view of man in the future … and gave specific details of … each age … type of people … physical activity … and so forth. But such are the … conditions of early man … prior to … the development of the sexual energies … and the competition we created … for the use of the mind … in learning hard facts.

Life in the world today … is expected to be governed by a mind … in partial bloom … resembling the tulip. But the ways in which … our minds were enforced to close partially … is a report on the natures of the trauma … that dogs us to this day. We experience these traumas … not in the actual event of the original … when the mind was shut … but in a variance of the original event. For man … brought many ways to engage the mind … even in its closed state … so as to preserve our original experience of the self.

A person has simply to look … at human society … around us today … to identify the many ways we have … added to the experience of the mind by our own ingenuity. All these partial remedies … engaged the use of the sexual energies … to stimulate the point of shutdown or autism … in the mind … and involves the active participation of women. Hence in the basic stimulation experienced … it produces the Casanova type … whose association with the gals … creates the foundations of self love in the individual.

Thereafter … nature steps in … with its seasons … the productivity of trees … flowers … pollen … fruits … and the activities of insects and nymphs … that creates a stimulus to the autistic point … past its traumas … in order to create promises of possibilities. Such promises are brought to a great … chat-up … in the company of teenagers … the whispers of lovers … the doctrines of the church … the sophism of academia … or the babble of children. They all promise to overcome the failures of the past … and to restore man to his original nature.

It ought to be said of the experience … that man does not intend to return … to the total subtlety of the mind as an open flower. That is patently impossible in these times … where we live lives of active physical activity. But we would like to heal the way the mind closed on itself … and then to re-open it partially … with the support of … knowledge and a compliant passion … who now understands its condition … and the nature of physical reality.

The search for ways to overcome these traumas … brought me to the curious experience … of asexual experiences. To do that I first threw off … all the partial remedies we have been relying upon … such as style … boastful manners … and the continued reliance on promises. And then I entered the field of traumas. It ranged from notions of genocide … death … poverty … an annihilation of personal self worth … shame … and loss of hope. All these … arising as it does … when we don't understand what is going on … in our autism of despair.

The Asian way of handling life's traumas … created a charitable attitude … or dharma … in which the individual is encouraged to a practice of regularly giving some monies … as help to the homeless on the streets … the church … or other charitable organizations. It has the miraculous effect … of managing our traumas … and creates the assurance in the autistic point … of man caring for man … beyond the mere imperatives of survival.

It caused me great wonder … to find the autistic point … responding in such a manner. Its as if ... it needed assuring that … beyond its primary drive for survival … it also viewed charity as a … vital practice … in society … for the survival of the whole of itself. I rested for a moment in the peace that arose from the experience … and wondered whether such a view … should be properly considered a part of the intelligence of man … as a fact of life … in human society? Its certainly not merely … noblesse oblige!

The thought … opened my way to the traumas … and made me wonder if … one man coming to experience such a thought … would make a difference to the world … or is it necessary … for human society in general to take to the practice? In Islam … zakat … or charity … is an essential part of their faith … enforced by law. However in the other faiths … man is permitted his freewill. Would such a freewill … have the expectation that man would realize on his own volition … the need for the vital practice of charity?

Okay … there's also this … off-the-wall … suggestion … that a large prick … plays a part in the peace of the autistic point also. However I'm not in a position to confirm that … and will have to refer to the Saivite practice of referring to the lingga in the temple … in their ritual practices. Certainly the issue is about the fact … that the autistic point is sensitive to the continuity of life … supported by fertility … and at the same time … charity for others. Its my opinion however … that a large prick is not a pre-requisite for fertility … nor is it compulsory for the needs of a mind in partial bloom.

The pursuit of the study of these traumas … produced an unsettling 2 weeks for me recently … and left me shaken. But the one thing … that has been my abiding consolation … is in the way that I apply my mind to understand them … and not let them intimidate me into hopelessness. At one point … I even thought there is no hope for mankind. But happily … I'm pleased to say … the autistic point healed … in respect of its primal traumas … and I managed to walk away … with a re-newed discovery in the faith of charity. God bless.

Hi Dayran, pleased to meet you.

The egoic mind has indeed found many different ways 'to preserve our original experience if the self', by repressing the terror of our mortality, the primal trauma.

I would love your opinion on my stories Angst and A Thousand Weddings.

hi Philip ... nice to meet you.

Your comment is exactly on the spot. We are learning more about it though ... and finding ways to keep it within the experience of the civil. Will be pleased to take a look at your work.

Charity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Tis surely a weight of a conscience weighted by the tought, 'There by the grace of God goes me.. ' and its many variations. We can look hard at the beauty of our world but turn away from its ugliness. We can focus on the ugly because it exists and putting head in the sand doesn't make it go way. Your thoughts travel across so many points of Belief in... a great Concept of how to live Life.

There's a thought process that accepts everything but refutes what might be neither charitable nor sans emotion; there's another concept: we mere human beings are who and what we are, malleable creatures with susceptible minds and instincts that have weakened over history. All we have left is an urge to help, to offer arms or alms. Physical advantages mean only the spray of a large family... to cover a planet's population is something else, perhaps!

Will return to read more because... tis difficult for a mere woman to understand such a range of thought. Perhaps?

[Dayran]

Thks for the comment Emma. You helped me fill a void about charity ... and its immutable place in a healthy life. I can't explain what it was ... that made me feel I might have been alone in the thought ... but the attention it has drawn from folks such as yourself assures me that its alive and well.

I'd like to add to the list of what charitable natures do ... and that is to give voice to issues that a person ... man or woman ... would not have ordinarily ventured to express. Thks again.

Reading the considered and suitable can muffle thought. I miss discussion, need inspiration to walk different paths.. without being stifled. Tisn't always easy.

[Dayran]

I can't seem to recall a considered thought that didn't change over time. Then ... and only then ... do we bring our inspiration for a new one.Its the way of the seasons.

[emmajoy]

Long live the seasons, says I.

And now to my oven... a woman's work, don't you know. :)

Interesting stuff. I have encountered charity recently on the streets of my small city in the form of 'chuggers', young, highly educated and energetic folk in their 20s who walk around in matching anoraks with matching clipboards, and official badges confirming they work for a well-known charity. Most people go out of their way to avoid them because they will try and get you to sign up to making a £20 bank order each month. If you decline but offer a £10 note there and then they will refuse it. Sometimes they will knock on your door, or phone. Charities have got into a lot of trouble in the UK recently for the marketing techniques they now employ. Some elderly folk are found contributing money they can't really afford to maybe 20 different charities. It is as if we have lost our way when it comes to charity. Personally I think it is spur of the moment matter. We are moved we give. Personally I do not like the way young folk are sent out like missionary sales people to 'sell' us into paying up. So I have become all gnarled and knotted with a dislike for our charities here. And I never give them anything. This causes me to think about myself. Am I mean spirited? Is it a character flaw? Or am I made crabby by pressure? Perhaps I am too sensitive, or old fashioned. Anyway, your piece makes me think I should not give up, much as you did not give when in doubt recently. I will keep my mind open to being charitable when my opportunity to be so arrives. So perhaps 'one man coming to experience such a thought' does make a difference. It is good to examine our inner workings. I am not sure about the big prick point though. Perhaps you put that in as a decoy to see if your readers were focused on your main point. By the way ... do you ... need your ...s ?

[Dayran]

Always a delight having you visit RJ. You make a good point about the way charities are being handled ... by people who understand very little about what it is. And I'm glad it didn't put you off giving. It is a very real way in which a man makes contact with his own personality. Not sure about whether the ... s has anything to do with it. I'll have to be your student on that.

[R J Askew]

I'll dedicate the next £1 I donate your write good sir!

[Dayran]

I'm honored. Have a good day sir!
