On the Rise or Descent
In many everyday scenario’s the hope for people all over the world is to find themselves on the rise to fame and fortune, stardom, or mere success. This pilgrimage is a all about being on the way to a place, but what about the individual who woke up at the top of the incline? I have a friend, an idiot savant so to speak. He traveled to regions in the world that have long since supported the rise to enlightenment. However, this put him in an awkward predicament upon his return to the states where people were on their way to meeting all sorts of success. To know him was to witness the ascendant mind that rose beyond attachment as (dukkha ateeta), but had to return to a home, and job, and family; an undertaking that required him to once again become familiar with the need for people to be needed in order to feel love and connection. This idiot savant had to return and reconstruction fissures in relationships, straighten incongruences in social presentation, and restore his responsible nature by proving that he could meet the needs of people in his private, social, and professional life. He had to combat learned competing theories such as; negating avoidance, accommodation without compromising personal goals, and collaboration with others in transit between the sapiential, doctrinal, and temporal experiences.
In light of the “so heavenly minded no earthly good;” the enlightened scriptures do not discount the world to the irrelevant upon the resurrection of Christ. People are instructed to be in the world, but not of the world, which is a difference embedded in the translation of the Holy Bible from it’s original language in the Latin ablative case as compared with its prepositional counter part respectively. This describes the relationship of man to the world in the possessive sense as compared to man’s connection to the world in the attitudinal sense. While there are innumerable nuances to sapiential wisdom in the Bible, John 17:14, Jesus says, “I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.” Just as Christ’s people are not of the world, neither is the enlightened mind or man of the world, but we still have to be here side by side with the world. This is the plight of this scenario’s idiot savant.
There are many ways to address this seemingly multi-directional integration of the temporal and spiritual. To have one’s mind focused on the spiritual growth and enhancement of a unified life style may require that some materialistic focuses be put aside. The objective is to find out about the natural directionality of life in the world while managing separateness of the heart or aspect that is the centrifugal walk, which is automatically integrated with the source. People may or may not emerge in the life of an individual as conglomerate forces of the unified goals for all of mankind in the “One nation under God, indivisible…” framework. This idiot savant has to be perceptive; only accepting that which is directionally sound in the effort to propel his reach down into the infinitization of the world that is economized with all of its industry and subjective capitalist goals, in an attempt to pull it into emerging integration of a higher level of systemic functions.
The roll of matter in the redemption of souls is an essential anchor point in the assessment of centrifugal spiritual progress. Some scientists believe that the applied method of balancing theoretical atoms of the world might apply to a systemic balancing act in the redemption of the soul. Imbalances of sanctified grace and virtues and contrition correspond to the presence of hormones and other particulates in the bloodstreams and body. Therefore, an absence of such feeling and action to achieve these experiences point to a level of incongruence of alignment with God, His world and plan as the Creator. The understanding, love, and compassion aspects as depicted by Hahn are the conductors of the anodizing balance in the process of creating spaces into which a redeemable energy molecule may move, or by expelling an energy molecule from an atom that can maintain it’s primary form; allowing the alteration of it’s form ever so slightly as to be able to compensate for a tiny portion of itself to be lost for the gain and perfection of balance of another atom. Our large scale feelings and discernments are expressed and modeled after an isomorphic structure of hormones and adrenaline molecules.
If every element remained fixed then concepts such as frost on a window pane, as with the sublimation of liquid water to ice, would be impossible. So too do individuals through understanding, love, and compassion need to have this flexibility like the properties of sublimation; to be able to remain indeterminably themselves or allotropic-like. This quality, given: attention, time, or expression, could be enough to balance conditions in relationships with justifiable complex systems that lead to higher and perhaps even more simplistically redeemable dynamic structures to the effect of integrating one’s spiritual life into living in the world.
On the Rise or Descent is about the dualistic nature of reality. Becoming the role of the actualization or naturally emergent order versus domination hierarchies by supplanting descended emblem with iconic agency or spiritually minded purpose is a conducive modality. The subtending model of organized systems lending meaning to dominating heterachy should be appended so that in any such case the base link to the original systemic emergence of the emblem has it’s directly identifiable known source. People find themselves having to reorganize their lives after having a journey away from it, where they learn that the world is not to be ignored away, but is rather to be embraced upward by those who rise in enlightenment and must therefore look upon the descent to unpin the fallen.
