Right Action

Right Action follows the Right Being
The Right being follows the laws because the Right being can see the laws and can therefore conform to it.
Since it is following the laws there is absence of personal motive - of fear or of self importance.
There is  therefore no violation and therefore it is non violent.

What is my sadhana here?
I feel it is to increasingly understand and 'see' the laws operate, unfold, move into motion. The demand therefore on me is to 'see' the laws operate. What does that mean? To begin with, I need to allow the law to operate, put my self voluntarily under it, despite the compulsions of my mechanical impulses. That therefore is a call for a sacrifice and a call for prayer for support because my fears and instinct of self preservation of the status quo are very large forces.

One of the experiments in this direction for me is what I call the law of waiting. Waiting before a response. It appears that waiting has a great possibility. I can see the churning in me, urging me to respond based on past habits and memories. Sometimes I wait but then the fears rise again and push me towards action.

Now how do i know how much to wait ? I sometimes look for signs from the universe around me. Its a language whose symbolic language I build step by step, alphabet by alphabet. I take the action. Sometimes based on the consequences of the action(on me)  I get a  sense if that action was lawful or not. Then I start again.

Law of waiting

One of the explorations in the direction of Right Action for me, is timing of the action. It seems to be clear that an immediate reaction clearly is something that comes from the past..associations, habits, account keeping and so on. We need to wait for a higher intelligence to guide us. That needs to rise and therefore needs freedom from the various solutions that keep bombarding me.

The  question is how long to wait and how do I know this is a 'lawful' solution? Is it a feeling realm thing? Is it a sense of largeness where the solution is not from my personal stand point or for my welfare or safety?

Present Moment Notes

Rite now the body is feeling strange. I am watching Matrix. Rite now a coconut palm outside the window is moving. There is a crow sitting on anotehr leaf. I am watching myself watching the movie..i feel nothing. Rite now Im thirsty. Rite nw I can feel Rebon's head and neck resting on my left thigh. I feel mentally drained. I look again out of the window.  A gentle breeze is moving the palm fonds. I realise that i write slower than the present moment so there is a lag. I fee a window slide open in the balcony 3 floor across. What am i working on rite now? I can sense no feelings. Im dead inside. My right small toe root bone hurt. I hear the sounds from the movie..train passing. wheels screeching.running footsteps.
i can hear no sounds other than the sounds from the movie. I feel I need to sleep or eating something to get back to a familiar state. I hear  myself hear the sounds in the movie. I sneeze. Watched the sneeze. now feel different. thought energy leaked with the sneeze..seeing the sentinels trying to enter the hull of the space ship of Morpheus. THinking of thoughts trying to enter and take me away from the present. maybe they just did. But here i am . Back again. its 14:26. Gone out. Back in again. Feel a tinge of love in side. romantic. 1ts 14:28. top of the head has a sensation. GOne. Saw Neo see the Matrix by association to the sight Buddha saw on his enlightenment. the whole law. the whole matrix.

Wed. Oct 5 228 pm

The being is feeling very vulnerable. And drained of all energy. Back of the neck has a burn. Yet I feel that these are just the shadow side of the energy waiting to be transformed. Brahmi was taken today morning. I can hear and see the sounds of autos passing by. Visually too.the sunlight is sparkling. golden blood of the universe. i remembered present moment seeing needs to include the heart. Dr Lad's advice. One arrow out and one arrow back to the heart. Buses and more cars. pulled back into the mind. some office work. Now back again. I need to remember it is grace to be in present moment. its special. it feels so. more sparking leaves. my body is weak. i can hear the sounds from the edits. I still feel im not alive fully. I now watch my breathing. i can truly feel the body pulling in the air. this cant be a dream. Breath and body seems to be the reality check on present moment. im tired.. Will stay but wont write.
