Hello everyone my name is Andrew and welcome to the video.
So today I'd like to talk about order.
Now what is order in Consciousness?
And how can we bring this order about?
Now the older generations talk about order and teach us order in the sense of self-control
and self-discipline.
Now we see that this brings about conflict because inwardly we are one thing.
Example.
We are angry and then we are trying to discipline ourselves, control ourselves to not be angry,
to be the opposite, which is an idea, a fascination to be not angry, when really we are angry.
So doesn't this cause a psychological friction between "angry" and "not angry?"
Between the opposites?
So therefore, friction is struggle and problems.
Now our reaction to this is what the new generation is doing right?
Which is, "It's okay, you don't have to discipline yourself.
You don't have to control yourself.
Just do whatever you want, just enjoy life, seize the day."
And so we try this, we do this and yet, it's fun and it feels great, but there are dire
consequences involved right?
That we don't really take into consideration and we're just kind of like, "Oh, I didn't
really think this through."
So both of these bring about problems and struggle and suffering.
So when we asked the question what is order in Consciousness?
Are we looking for an answer?
Are we waiting for an answer or expecting something totally new, totally different to
radically change our lives?
If we are looking for that then this is not it.
This is the completely wrong place.
I don't have an answer.
No one has an answer, because answers are essentially what we've been living on our
whole lives and nothing has changed, we are still suffering, we are still in conflict.
So there has to be something totally different in order to live in order, which is to live
happily, peacefully, without any conflict or psychological friction.
So haven't we been living based off of ideas, off of beliefs, off of plans, off of strategies,
off of methods.
So in one sense, we have to live with this.
There is order of the law, order of authority, that is of the military.
If we don't do certain things like if we don't abide by the rules of society, don't steal,
don't kill.
If we don't abide by those then we're going to jail, there's automatic suffering and struggle
there.
So we see that fact, so there's no problem right?
We understand that, "Hey, don't kill, it's a fact that it's going to cause even more
problems and more suffering for ourselves, not only inwardly, but outwardly as well."
So we're not accepting or denying authority, discipline or self-control.
We're not trying to take sides here, we're just looking at what is actually going on.
What's actually going on is that there is authority, conformity to a certain societal
pattern that we have established and in one sense, yes we have to abide by that, but in
another sense there are also beliefs and ideas that are thought up of by our elders by religious
and scholarly teachers, by military high classmen and all of them are teaching us these or helping
us with ideological methods, strategies, tips on living rightly, holistically, and these
are what we need to observe and question.
Now if we don't want to, if we're not interested in questioning all this, because you know
we're so used to living off of these kinds of authorities, beliefs, projections of what
they think is right living and all that.
So if we strongly believe in that and we are in this habit and we're not that interested
in looking at it, observing it and basically putting it aside for a moment to free up ourselves
and be free to learn something different.
If we're not willing to do that then I don't see actually, factually how there can be a
change.
So we must be able to really question every single thing that we've been taught that we've
been told which is tremendously difficult because this is all we know this is all that
we've been used to, which is living off of other people's ideas, strategies, plans on
living, living off of beliefs, traditions, cultures.
And to question all this, to doubt all this, there is tremendous fear, there is tremendous
punishment that goes along with that right?
So are we willing to listen and put that aside.
So we talked a little bit about order being imposed or being not imposed and both ending
up with suffering and conflict.
So therefore, all we know is disorder.
So when we put the question, "What is order?"
We don't know, because everything we come to is disorder.
So can we remain with, "I don't know" can we live like that, with uncertainty.
However, this doesn't mean to still do whatever we want to do because we don't know what order
is.
We're not saying, "Hey there's no answers at all, it's hopeless."
No we're not saying that at all.
Let's talk a little bit about the physical body.
It's a fact that there must be physical order with the body.
Is the body eating good, healthy food?
Is the body exercising daily, regularly in order to be strong and flexible?
Because if we look at a flower, if we don't water it correctly, if we don't treat the
flower with love and care and affection, then it's going to wilt it's going to die and
therefore, it's not going to live properly, live rightly, right?
Now the body and the mind are not two separate things they are actually one and connected.
So if the physical body is not strong then that's
going to have an effect on the mind correct?
So seeing this fact being aware of this fact that to live in order, to live happily and
peacefully, there must be a physical change, the body must be well taken care of.
So that's a fact.
Now we also need to go into mentally, psychologically, what is it that we are, that we are doing?
Through our habits, through our frequent living based off of other people's ideas, based off
of our own ideas and ideas in general, we have built this habit of reacting against
what is actually going on, with what is factually going on.
Something happens, someone cuts in front of me on the road, I react to that.
I say, "Hey that should not happen."
So we always react and look for the opposite of what is actually going on.
We never stay and remain with what is actually going on.
There is fear.
I'm afraid, I'm terrified, but I must be brave, I should be brave.
So we go through all the pain and struggle and effort of being brave and that bravery
is born from fear.
So we are still afraid, we are trying to become "not afraid" through bravery.
So this implies contradiction of the opposites.
We are trying to resist or do away with one thing, the fact that we are afraid or the
fact that we are angry.
We're trying to do away with that and we're trying to become the opposite, the "non
afraid," the "non angry," but this is why we need to go into the nature of ourselves,
self-knowledge.
Can we see that we are both of those, that thought is bravery, is fear, is "non fear,"
is both.
And can we also see that there is separation involved when we are reacting against because
there is one who is reacting to an object.
So there's a separation between the one reacting and the object of that reaction.
So out of that separation, whenever there is separation, then there must be conflict,
suffering.
So by going into this by seeing this as a fact that by jumping to or trying to become
what we already are, is one of the reasons why we are struggling, we are suffering.
So order is not something separate from disorder order is understanding being aware of our
own disorder the fact that we are disordered, inwardly and outwardly and out of this fact,
living in this fact, with this fact, comes the possibility of seeing order, totally,
holy, completely.
So that's all I want to talk about in this video, thank you for listening and watching
and have a great day, as always, stay awesome, see ya in the next video, bye bye.
