spend on choicest consumptions. For others this may mean security. In many people, it may unleash the feelings of power and pride for demonstrativeness and adverts. Still, many may feel it as a burden as they may feel insecure about whether it shall stay with them or be taken away by tax authorities, relatives, frauds, et al. A lot many people would accept this big money as platform to make more money and they shall feel a precarious mix of sentiments, depending on how they see the future unraveling for the journey of their money. A few however may feel humbled and would think of the satisfaction of helping some needy. The journey of the individualities in acceptances of the cognitive shades of the same ‘media’ of money is diverse. The singular reality however, is that the money is just the ‘medium’ and what ultimately shapes up its finality of utility is the ‘experience’, which an individual consciousness assigns it and aligns it with.

As we have talked earlier, every reality boils down to the media of Consciousness. Different individuals, having different shades of Consciousnesses, shall have different and varied experiences out of a singular reality. It shall depend upon the Field or Landscape of the Consciousness as to how it processes and aligns incoming stimuli of Information to assign it different experiences. As we talked earlier, the Grammar of Life is to understand and accept this Reality of Consciousness as Field, Landscape and Information by acquiring holistic knowledge of the modern contemporary science of Reality. The Poetry of Life is to understand and accept that true richness, wealth, empowerment and success is in having a Consciousness, which can optimize myriad shades and flavors of ‘Experiences’ and cognitive marvels. The poetry happens as Emergence, as we have persevered practice of aligning our Consciousness to as many probabilities as possible. The billion dollars is not important. Even if it is just a few dollars, it must make you experience all shades of Experiences, associated with money-reality; as we have detailed above. You need be rich in experiences. Richness of ‘Media of Money’ is not that much important; though it is a good means.

Before we talk about practical aspects of what richness truly means and how it can be acquired to have Poetry of Living; there is a crucial aspect of understanding that Experiences, like Consciousness are also emergent and evolving reality. Consciousness evolves and emerges to novel cognitions as we practice the art of being open, compassionate and accommodative to all shades of probabilities. Experiences also evolve and emerge with time and space as we keep practicing the art of experiencing; living them out, with liberal and holistic acceptance of all realities as Information; leading to different probabilities of experiences. Richness seldom comes automatic and overnight. It grows and evolves gradually. Richness evolves as we keep ‘investing’ and persevere with enterprise of good management. This aspect shall also become clear when we detail the practicalities of richness of experiences below –

Example 1

There is a very famous incident about some great classical musicians of India, sitting together and talking music, in informal and personal gathering. They sang together and also discussed aspects of music. Later, the talks were veered around the ‘swara’ (notes) and how different ones in the spectrum of seven notes called saptak (Octave) could be applied and sung with novelty and experimentations. Every musician was sharing how he thought and felt about the renditions and applications of different swaras. Among them was a great musician, who was known for his masterly grip on grammar of musicality. He said; you can have the best and ideal rendition of a swara only when you have successfully readied the Zameen (soil) of the swara. This means; one has to cultivate, nurture and decorate the grassroots or landscape, which is catalytic and appropriate for the emergence and rendition of the best possible sound of the swara. Everyone present there were great musicians and they all agreed.

For a layman, or a stupid like me; it is almost impossible to understand what all this means and how to experience this idea and idealism about musicality. Many may feel, as we talked earlier; it is just an abstracted and vague description of something in the process of singing. Many may also say; it is not even real and only an expression of some psychedelic insinuations. Why? It is because we all know how a farmer readies and nurtures the soil of his farm to successfully cultivate a specific crop. We know and accept; different crops require different soil preparations as every type of soil is not innately suitable for different crop. However, we cannot visualize what one can accept as ‘Soil’ in dictionary of musicality and how this so-called soil can be readied differently for different swaras, which is essentially a sound; an acoustic entity. But, all great musicians had agreed in the above-mentioned gathering and even modern classical musicians of India accept this process as idealism of classical music and singing.

This idea and idealism is the domain of emergence and this happens to those, who have earned and learned the discipline of grammar of music and have practiced the art for decades. This happens as most great musicians are able to make the emergence happen in their musicality. Music involves many ‘ingredients’, apart from the notes, patterns and renditions. Music assimilates and integrates emotions, visualizations, architecture of acoustics, sculpting of personification of notes, etc. Many classical musicians admit that when they sing, they close their eyes and they can see a musical note (swara) standing as a person in front of them. They then visualize its persona and try to paint and sculpt its imagery with the help of singing. The same visualization is done for ragas (rendition of some patterned notes in specific beat symmetry), which is also equated with a person in specific mood and appearance. This again may sound like mystical and magical. This however is the domain of neural networks of brain states and all these happen in the well-defined and measurable processes of emergence. Music is singular and notes are all objective. However, different musicians experience them differently as musical processes create novel and alternative experiences to them. These experiences are subjective and personal. They cannot be transferred to others. However, those avid and learned listeners in audiences, who have experienced music in different dimensions, do align with what the musician is experiencing. Modern science has confirmed that musicality activates the same brain plexuses in listeners, as in the brain states of the singer itself. The emergence creates brilliance and diversities of experiences.

It has to be understood and accepted that musicality presents the optimal probability of emergence to take shape as it has all the ‘ingredients’ and processes, which is ideal for emergence to happen. In western classical music, it happens in philharmonic orchestra, where hundreds of musicians and musical instruments participate to create a landscape or field of sounds and rhythms. There is this very crucial element of harmony and rhythm, which is core requirement for emergence to happen. There are many other elements; as we have listed above; but as they get assimilated and integrated in rhythmic and harmonious patterns and processes, it facilitates emergence as the participating elements do not ‘cancel out’ each other; rather they all are woven into a singularity in repeated looped interactions. They create a novel Field.

What makes emergence happen in musicality can be replicated in all other domains of life-living but it is difficult. Emergence must happen in relationship. Emergence must define and shape up love and intimacy. Emergence needs to be the sole guiding principle of all interactions, sharing and collectivity. You can easily understand why it does not happen there. The primary reason is the lack of awareness about the ‘ingredients and processes’ and lack of optimal practice to ensure that all participative elements and dimensions are in harmonious-rhythmic loop and do not cancel out each other. This very rarely happens in other domains of life-living as we are never harmonious and never ever leave any chance to ‘cancel out’ others.

Example 2

There is a story about a deer and a man. There was an old man, who lived alone in deep woods. He was a happy man, as he believed in simplicity and practiced compassion. One day, he thought, even after doing all his routine things, he still had some time left. If there could be another soul around, they could talk and have good time together. Next day, he went to collect some dry firewood, away from his hut and he saw a small fawn of a deer, whose mother was just killed by a hungry lion. He took the deer calf back home and raised it. He was happy in the company of the baby deer and the deer always stayed around him.

The man used to do meditation and offer prayers. The baby deer watched him and as it grew up, it too began to sit close to the man on his hind legs and join the front legs as hands in prayer mode. The deer would close eyes like the man and sit silently in erect position as the man would do his daily meditation. Once, a young man, who lived in nearby village, passed by and saw the deer doing all these. He informed the villagers, who came to watch it. Soon, this old man was famous as villagers believed this man was a noble soul and an apostle of God. People came to the old man, offered gifts and worshipped him. The old man refused any gift and only smiled. A few months later, the old man died. The same young man, who had informed the villagers about this ‘miracle man’, sensed an opportunity and thought; if the deer could do the same ‘tricks’ sitting with him, he would convince the villagers that the old man’s soul had entered his body and he would be rich getting gifts from villagers and also be worshipped. He tried to befriend the deer. He offered green grasses and fetched him sweets. The deer did not even move as he was very distressed after the death of the old man. The young man tried all tricks and even beat the deer but the deer didn't budge and died a few days later, as it had refused to eat and drink.

The story explains everything. There was a relationship between two living entities and there was a process of the relationship in looped assimilation and integration. The experiences between the two were evolved and engineered as there were some harmonious elements of ‘connect’ and ‘context’ between them. The expressions, which this marvelous relationship created and manifested in behavior-action, were emergence of the uniqueness and exclusivity of processes of mutuality and togetherness between two lives. Two equitably poised Fields of Consciousnesses, with symmetrical attributes and properties, merge and make emergence of a third dimension possible. This process could not be copied, transferred and implanted, as they were between two Fields, Landscapes or Information; in specific bondage and assimilation.

This ‘magic’ happens between many relationships. The simple idea is the brilliance of experiences, which can happen between relationships. They however depend on how relationships progress with innocence, simplicity and compassion. It also depends on how participants in a relationship get invested in a relationship with what ‘ingredients’ or elements. All living beings, especially humans are powerful Fields and Landscapes of Information. The fields work together to create emergence of novel and alternative experiences. As we have mentioned earlier; emergence is a process and follows a disciplined regime. The story shows this all.

There is this very beautiful and brilliantly prospective idea of divinity, which many empowered men and women have experienced in multidimensionality of experiences. They are all documented in annals of history. God and divine elements of ‘Reality’ is popularly accepted as an entity situated in some ‘externality’. Naturally, most people associate and align with God and divinity through pomp
