The thrill of stepping out of our own self !!

We all move or act.

Anything that moves we take notice of them and we say alive and kicking. We act to justify that we are alive.

A movement reveals data and energy associated. Anything that moves has a signature, a defined pattern in which it moves - Michel Jackson signature move, fearful snake movement, leaves and hair moves for a breeze, movement of tears reveals deeply buried pain and joy. We conclude or collect data out of the movement.

Anything that moves, has energy. Intensity of the movement reveals data about the energy that drives. Anything that has energy, moves other things. There are apparent movements and there are subtle movements, like shrill and base sounds in an orchestra. Any movement in the environment, changes the mind content. Any movement in the mind, changes the environment through the body movement. Movements within us and outside us is a seamless and continuous process. A thought is a movement in mind-space. One thought gives rise to or birth to another thought, just like splash of water drops arises and falls in the flow of a river. A swirl of thoughts intensifies other associated thoughts and gains momentum and the energy is transferred as bodily movement.

There is a certain amount of fluidity and rigidity in any movement depending on the resistance encountered on the path. Fluidity and rigidity in a movement can be viewed as purposefulness. The movement that gravitate towards a point, accumulates for a purpose. In other words, the situation or the resistance offered to the movement makes a swirl and appears as though it is purposeful. The purpose here is to overcome the resistance. Depending on the intensity of the flow movement the swirl last till the resistance exists.

Our existence can be viewed as swirl. Our birth and death can be viewed as formation and vanishing of swirls in the flow of a river. Every swirl is unique in its stretch, depth, intensity. Emotions can be viewed as variations in the intensity, pressure build up and its release can be viewed as sadness and happiness.

‘You’ exists only where there is a resistance. With resistance unconscious flow becomes conscious flow. When there is a flow we don’t seem to exist. When we are enjoying a comedy or passionately deeply involved in a work, we don’t even feel we are there. Only when we encounter a resistance, pain arises. Pain amplifies our existence to do something to remove the obstacle. Pain is not the obstacle. We are the obstacle. We are born out of an obstacle to remove the obstacle.

We are a swirl of cells dividing and multiplying by picking up energy around. We are an energy system that swirls with limited control on how we could sustain the swirl by ourselves. Beyond sustaining the swirl, all good work we do is to make others to swirl. Imagine the amount of excitement when someone smiles across the street. In the flow of life we extend our swirling arms to include others or sometimes we integrate with others for a cause.

The notion of ‘Self’ is a swirl in the thought process or swirl of thoughts. The extent of the swirl defines the boundary of SELF. The centrifugal pull of the swirl is the integrity of the SELF. Comfort, Safety, retrospective, fear, insecurity, incompetence thoughts pulls inside the swirl. Anger, excitement, joy, thrill thoughts pulls out of the swirl. Anything that gets released out of the pull is what we call as action, reaction, expression or ejaculation.

All actions are backed by thoughts. No action is performed without a thought. Some thoughts are inspected and performed with awareness. Many of our thoughts are uninspected and unexamined.

Inorder to get out of the swirl needs extraordinary energy. Thoughts needs to generate enough energy to get out of the swirl. Interesting to know how the energy gets energy.

Triggers for an action, reaction or expression comes from how good one feel, think or intuit about the environment. Once we act, the environment changes, and interestingly, our action in-turn results in new set of feelings, thinking and intuitions for further or next course of action. It is a never ending process. Ever flowing movements.

Feeling — is being aware of data through senses.
Thinking— is connecting data consciously.
Intuition / thought — is data that got connected automatically.

We tend to have one of the faculty operating bit more than the other two. Either we feel more or think more or act out of intuition more. Kind-hearted Mother Theresa?-?feeling person; Analytical minded Albert Einstein?-?thinking person; Strong leader Indira Gandhi?-?intuition driven person; are examples of people display with intense clarity on feel, thinking and intuition. Not all operate at that level. There are in-between variation we display in our daily life completely unaware. Also unknowingly we tend to operate within our own comfort zone. Stepping out of such comfort zone extreme anxiety as intense ecstasy.
SELF is that which we guard so closely with fear and pride out of ignorance.
Even though everything is moving around, we would like force our movement in a more directed manner with use of intelligence.

Ejaculation is an interesting form of movement. It is a culmination of swirling thought process that gained such an energy to overcome the resistance of various other thoughts of fear, trust, shame, guilt, so intensely to release new set of generations. A giant leap of faith, fearless, thrilling, hopeful, joyful, nevertheless a movement.
