Wisdom Of Wellness: Perpetuity Of Poise Of Purpose - Santosh Jha (best ereader for academics .TXT) 📗

– love and absolute intimacy enhances homeostasis or body-mind poise, which in turn enhances the life and sanity of love and intimacy.

The reverse has also been established, as researches show, when people are in instable and unsettled love and intimacy elements, their body-mind gets affected and they land in serious body-mind dysfunction and even death. True spiritualist is a person, who remains in the perpetuity of the utility of love and absolute intimacy with everyone and everything around. This positioning is ideal for the pop mystic.

It has to be clearly understood that being in true love and absolute intimacy is not an external body-mind trait of behavior-action needs. Rather, love and intimacy is such a beautifully precious personalized positioning of subjective consciousness. We all must find and remain perpetually in the consciousness of absolute love, intimacy and compassion. This pure and precious energy of love has loads of personal and subjective utility. It has immense utility and fruition for almost all, but in individual capacity. Love always has much larger utility and fruition for yourself and your own wellness; than it has in the domain of societal exchanges. Homeostasis, the person’s overall poise, is also a subjective and personal positioning of consciousness. It has huge personal utility.

Researchers have confirmed that a person with greater conflicts, stress, chaos and confusion with people and ideas in his or her life shall be in poor bio-sociological, psychological, emotional and volitional homeostasis. This disturbed and unsettled homeostasis leads him or her to dysfunctional health and even death. A true spiritualist, who practices all the above-said values of life, shall be better poised as his personality and consciousness shall accept little stress and conflict.

Let us understand this all by an example. A young father has his little daughter growing fast in a very big city of United States of America, where pop culture has taken the teenagers in perfect grip. The mother is very concerned and even tense. She worries for her teenage daughter and is in deep stress and conflict as what to do. She asks her husband, what to do to avoid any ‘accidents’. Nothing new, most parents do the same! However, what the father of this teenage girl said to his wife is interesting. He said, “I am trying to figure out, what my daughter can do, which I cannot forgive. I love her and I think, the sky of my affection and compassion for her shall always remain much larger than her arms can stretch for possible wrongs.”

True love has to be like that. A true spiritualist has to be like that. Love and spiritualism, in all its manifestations and expressions has to be like that. It is the internal poise, which finds external expressions in such beautifully poised and peaceful ways. Love and spiritualism liberates, never suffocates as both have all good ideals in their armory. The ‘compassion’ of forgiveness shall always remain larger than the ‘accidents’ of ‘passion’, when you are in true love and absolute intimacy – the core benchmark of a true spiritualist. This position is ideal for the pop mystic.

The father, in the above story, is in perfect ‘poise’ of his wellness homeostasis. His wellness is not threatened by his subjective ‘self-image’ of right and wrong. It is his poise, which is so beautifully and magnanimously reflected in his behavior and action. It is only natural that this father is a pop mystic, a hero for the teenage girl and this girl shall grow to be one ‘poised’ person; another pop mystic for sure.

In Hindu religious traditions, it has been said that the body is the perfect media. All attainments of life and life beyond, material or spiritual, has to be through this ‘media’ of body-mind mechanism. Even moksha and nirvana is attainable only through this media. That is why, Hindu traditions emphasize on the ‘first duty’, ‘mool karma’, towards preservation and perpetuation of the sanity and purity of the media – the body-mind mechanism.

The core religious idea is to have a ‘poised media’ and this is ensured when we have a ‘poise’ of all elements of the body-mind realisms. Science calls this ‘poise’ as homeostasis. Spiritualism is a mechanism and process through which, we all attain this poise and ensure the preservation and perpetuation of the purity and sanity of the media of body-mind mechanism. That is why, a spiritualist shall work towards it.

From the day we are born, we are muffled by love, in one form or other. Our preparedness starts from that day. Initially, it is the responsibility of parents and family but later, we ourselves have to learn and unlearn our ways towards this ‘poise’ of our larger wellness homeostasis. Love and absolute intimacy, as an idea, deeply associated with the entity of homeostasis, is hugely beautiful and highly useful tool for a true spiritualist. Love is a mystical expression of the ‘sense of larger wellness’, which is a cardinal and potent condition for homeostasis.

What mind receives and expresses are through neurochemical and neuroelectrical processes. However, these processes are intangible and our conscious mind never is able to see or perceive them. It is when, these processes are translated in behavior and action then we understand and accept it. The factors, which affect the homeostasis are ‘intangible affectors’ of human emotions. The above-mentioned values work as magic for the homeostasis process as it shields us from negative and conflicting effects.

The Questions Of Spiritualism

There are questions of life and living. Everyone has them. They have been there since thousands of years. Since the time, these questions came into existence, the answers also started to take shape. The old wisdom attempted answers to these questions and many of us have good faith that the answers provided by old wisdoms of religion, philosophy and spiritualism are right and probably the only answers. However, for many, they are not satisfactory answers and the questions remain valid and in search of ‘right’ answers.

The core questions are:

Why humanity everywhere is suffering and in conflict and confusion?

Why is there so much fear and despair?

What is the singular road to internal and external peace and harmony?

What happens after death; is rebirth true?

What is the meaning and purpose of life?

Did God create us and for what?

What is the mechanism of God?

What is the idealism of life?

What is true wisdom and why it eludes humanity?, etc.

The new spiritual you has a tough task in hand. You want new answers and in fact, it is only natural, as we all are living in a new world, where realisms have a different perspective, in sync with modern scientific logic. The old wisdom, somehow, does not seem to be galvanized to update their answers in the light of the new awareness and knowledge of humanity.

However, the new spiritualist in us has to do more than just seeking answers. We all have to revisit and reassess the questions first. The new spiritualist works on the premise of objective and measurable logic, a common sense, which has to be in perfect symmetry with modern knowledge of humanity. That is why; even the age-old questions need to be revisited, reframed and even reassigned and realigned in a secular and temporal perspective.

First thing first – the new spiritualist has to be sure as what he or she accepts as the definition, nature and scope of spiritualism in modern contemporary worldview. Once we assign and align the modernist and contemporary structures and functions of the modern spiritualism, which the pop mystic shall accept as core creed of spiritualism, we have better and rationally objective understanding of the genesis of questions and the DNA of the answers.

Spiritualism in modern contemporary context needs to be understood by some contemporary example and for that let us use the metaphor of a computer. We all operate the computer; even kids do it smartly, some even better than adults! However, only a miniscule percentage of us know exactly how the computer is made and what scientific mechanisms and processes make it work. Most of us are operative geniuses of computer, successfully doing all functions that a computer is designed for. However, when someone asks us about how the computer does this function or than one, we are in trouble answering.

Suppose, a kid asks his mother as how to save a file on the computer; the happy mom shall tell the kid, “oh so simple, press the Control and S keys of the keyboard and it is done!” The kid is not satisfied, inquisitive best as the they are; the kid asks further, “tell me why pressing these keys saves this file” and we are in trouble. Happy we all are to see images on the screen of the computer. However, if we are asked how these pictures from a camera got into the screen of the computer, we have trouble.

The reason is, we do not know the scientific or technological details of the working mechanisms and processes of the computer. We actually do not have the need as we all have mastered the operative functions and it is enough to make full potential use of the computer. Kids run the android operative system on hand devices and nobody has to bother about the technological details of the jelly beans and ginger breads!

The trouble starts when questions are generated for answers, which pertain to finer details of the working system of a realism, the operative masters of which we happily are. So, when a kid shall ask, how the pictures sneak into the screens of your computer, we shall device ‘smart answers’ but they shall never be ‘true answers’, as we do not know the system functioning.

Someone shall answer, “there are internal wires and pictures sneak through them”. Someone shall answer, “the computer has a hidden eye, which can see things and then reproduce”. Still, another shall say, “ask your mother, she has this irritating habit of sneaking things into places all over.” Someone may say, “you shall know, when you grow up, not now”.

Spiritualism is not only the operative knowledge of the system called life and living; it is much beyond that. We have a mechanism, the life around us has a mechanism and the cosmic order has a mechanism and process. Usually, we do not have the express need to be in complete knowledge of the entire mechanism of the ‘computer of life and living’. Most of us do quite well without it. However, it has to be accepted with humility and innocence that questions shall always emanate, wherever there is an intricate and multidimensional mechanism and process. Questions are embedded in the mechanism. We may do without it and still do reasonably well is another thing. Still, questions cannot be wished away.

The humble assertion is; we all are designed to have excellence, not just bare survival. Excellence is systemic in the mechanism and process of all designs. This excellence is a must for ‘optimizing operative efficiency’. Spiritualism is an intangible, innate, instinctive, embedded and essential consciousness of overall excellence of life and living. Spiritualism is your mind-positioning for this avowed excellence of life and living.

We all can operate a computer but those with overall knowledge of the technological mechanism and process of the digital computing and artificial intelligence shall have the overall excellence in using the computer to its best possible potential. Naturally, as the computer is designed for enhancing and catalyzing the excellence of the operator, those in complete knowledge of the design and its mechanism-process shall be better positioned to land at the potential excellence.

Moreover, one does not have to be a computer engineer to understand the mechanism-process of the design of a computer. We just have to expand the limits of our natural inquisitiveness to get to the core principle of digital computing and artificial intelligence. All sciences and technology, in fact all wisdoms and knowledge have a ‘simple model’ to get to its core system. Religion provided its own model, using simple ‘metaphors’ from nature around us. Science does it by using analogies with other
