Brother, Can You Spare A Paradigm?
The quality of one's conscious experience of reality does not need an external validation as to the value of an experience for the person having it. Yet the personal paradigm of reality which many people hold, tends to be in a state of flux - the understanding of what is real and valuable to each person, and what is not.
What can be said of consciousness, gravity and time, is that each person has a certain amount of time in one's present body, to gravely consider or not, the forces which bind one to this world.
Many wonder if there is a point or purpose to the life experiences we are wrapped up in - the events and experiences which make up one's personal reality, as well as contribute to a collective reality.
Both scientific and religious paradigms have largely disappointed not only due to lack of consensus, but due to a self-serving egotism seeking power and control. When the search for life-enriching knowledge filters down as limited information co-opted by those interested in control over the masses, the search for pure self-knowledge usually becomes compromised and corrupted by the power-hungry.
The search for knowledge is one thing, how it is used is another. A nicely balanced paradigm awaits.
The bridge is being formed by hearing new information, most of which is eternal, but simply repackaged for the time, place and circumstance for each new hearer, in this age of information accessibility.
It is the experience of such loving service in one's own daily reality, which is the perfection of both science and philosophy - as to why we are here, and why the universe itself has divinely manifested.
It is this quintessential activity or dharma of living being which can be meditatively, mindfully, and lovingly directed, which evolves each persons highest good.
One constantly chooses how direct to their conscious energy minute-by-minute, according to one's conception or paradigm of reality; it is a grand meditation on life, hopefully yeilding a better life.
When's one's life-paradigm shifts to understanding a spiritual reality - a reality where all of the facilities at one's disposal are used in connection for the highest good of all, then a blissful transformation of one's personal reality automatically follows. One's purpose and identity are liberated from all doubt, when a greater reality is experienced and served.
It is by serving something greater than oneself, that one's own greatness is humbly achieved and expanded throughout time; something personally experienced.
No matter one's station or occupation in life, if one sees reality as a divine play - with each player acting their own part in a mood of loving service, the Divine will respond in very personal ways in one's own experiential reality, affirming that all is right and full of light in one's experiential universe.
In this divine of paradigm of reality, both the true self and truth Divine, are personally revealed.
