My defective deflection
One of the meanings of “deflection”, in Cambridge dictionary is “the act of attacking or blaming another person rather than accepting criticism or blame for your own actions”
My defect is, I deflect from this definition in another”sense” of the word π “ a change of direction after hitting somebody/something”
“ Nobody told me this”
“I was never taught this”
“How am I supposed to know? (Whatever)”
The most powerful missile to me, was
“Am I God, to know everything?” ( and I deflected away, allowing this missile to retain its trajectory π. Reason: I was hit by another missile “ aham brahma asmi” meaning ‘i am brahrma” π. Only one of these can be true!π’
I looked at what I knew π
A baby keeps putting anything it picks into its own mouth! The “why” bothered me π. Nobody around had the ‘time’ to think of such stupid-questions. So, my ignorance is my problem alone π. I realised, I need to subrogated( step into the shoes) of a baby to understand why it keeps putting things/objects into its mouth. But a baby is yet_to_use a shoe!!! π€. Symbolism became a tool to solve this riddle. When I solved this “why” about the baby, I experienced the concept of symbolism (in the word ‘subrogate’), I experienced the mindless+instinctive state of a baby who used pristine+nascent intellect, and the brain which processed a non_verbal thought of a past experience of first imposed_activity π …. Perplexed? π€£. Not my problem, figure it out yourself π
Imperceptibility can be due to insensitivity ( or the lack of it) at both levels π. Sense organs level & at extra_sensory levels. Bulk of present day minds don't ‘bother’ about the potential in us for extra_sensory levels ( a proof which is a ‘bit’ relatable EVEN for today's mind is = a naadi_vaidya( that system of medicine, where the medical practitioner senses the subtle energy channels in his patients, naadi channels, called ida, pingala, and sushumna), has this sensitivity of extra_sensory levels, via the touch_senseπ. In the desi tradition this extrasensitivity was called ‘indriya_atheeth_gyan’ a sanskrit word π, adapted by Hindi atleast π)
Ancients meant the “epic” stories like Mahabharat & Ramayana as a litmus test also( apart from multi_uses of far more purposes π), to find out my_own levels of sensitivity ( sense organs and extra_sensory, both) when I muster enough patience to revisit these epics again and again, AFRESH each time π. A kid, gets ‘new’ questions after puberty like “how beautiful it might have been for Rama & Sita to have a ‘privacy’ in the wide open (forest), for romanticism??π€”. He now ‘looks’ for its subtle references in the same Valmiki Ramayana, where the author dropped a very IMPERCEPTIBLE mention, even before the event happened π and, dat’s/that's ‘his’ perception levels,π Visualising a future event like “sita silenced the blabber of Rama with her lips!π”( The kid is insulated from paying attention to it till he is mature enough to ‘know’ it with responseAbility π
To wind up,
My defect ( “I am responseAble/responsible, for my_ignorance”) opened up to newer dimensions of ‘life’ when someone guided me into spiritual “tools” π. To that extent, I didn't have to ‘reinvent the wheels’ πππππ.
My blogs inherit my_defects π (un-intelligible at few places π₯), but then, it serves a purpose. It gets itself deflected away from the minds, who are addicted to “ignorance is not my problem”π. I try to keep myself confined to only experienced_narratives, not CopyPasteπ. ( Revisit to my earlier blogs is a disclaimer: entirely at readers’ own risk and resposeAbilitiesπ)
Deflectively yours,
