Ants at work.

The Spontaneity of the Moment,

and The Layers of Ignorance.

Observation is the spontaneous nature of the Observer. 

The manifestation begins with this split in the consciousness. With the split, Time and Space together appear to exist as the Observed , while the  consciousness thus split is the Silent Observer and also as an Observer of the manifest observed. This virtual split is then reflected within any sentient physical body and the individual as an existence independent in a world assumes the form of a "person".

As soon as all this has taken place, the consciousness as the Observer within a certain physical and sentient form, Life  happens, though it always existed even before this split in consciousness could take place. Because Time and Space were the one and the same "Known" and "The Observed", the person, or the individual was a temporary phase of the moment,  a Spontaneity only. 

While observing an ant, it looks though the ant may have perhaps the sense of smell, touch and taste, it lacks the sense of sight and hearing. In comparision of an ant, there are various other insects who have the sense of a well developed sight and hearing which enables them equipped better to face the challenges of life moment to moment. They can escape or avoid as soon as they feel there is any danger to their being and respond to it, while the ants often fail until felt through the sense of tough, smell or the taste.

Accordingly all living beings haveless or more a sense of cognisance too but more evolved have a better developed memory of the "experiences" they go through in the process of living the life. They could therefore imagine something like a past and an associated information / memory that is but there because of this assumed "past". The past is therefore the memory and conversely the memory is the name of this said past. It is thus a mechanism only and the mechanism functions in its own independent way.

This mechanism is thus independent of the apparent and the assumed Time and Space in the memory / the said past.

However in a more evolved an animal or any living being, a structured memory is there, in the form of a record, as a kind of an audio-visual information stored up in its brain. Though there may be a slight hint of Time and a Future, it's hardly as vivid as in the case of so-called the most evolved species like the humans. And just because as the humans have developed kind of an easy or a complicated way of expressing and communicating through this instrument which we call Language, they can store up the past / information regarding their experiences in this kind or format, they tend to believe they are better equipped to face and to respond the challenges of life. Wonderful, this can sure help them in living comfortably the life, but the moment they think about the wants and needs, of the desires and the  fears in the anticipated future, they're at a loss because though they can imagine the future, can hardly "Sense" the same. They can speculate like a less-developed animal through memory but can never have a "vision" about and of the same in the present moment, While it's only the present moment that inevitably forces them to think accordingly and to behave or act so. In other words, we are Blind  to the future but cover up our blindness under the name of "Knowledge" stored up in the form of the information or the memory. Moreover, We are also Blind to our Blindness. Our blindness consists of the false pride of the verbal knowledge that we have developed  in a system of information. This Knowledge so acquired causes even more anxiety, apprehension and fear of the unknown, anticipated imaginary "future" that though we can never see nor perceive at all. Again, we are also Blind to the reality that this anxiety too is a phase only, repeatedly arising and disappearing in our mind, because the Mind itself is a composite of Knowledge and consciousness. 

Mind is not only the "knowledge", or the "observed" but is also the "Observer", the underlying consciousness,"conscious" of itself.

Mind  is such an incomprehensible and strange Reality comprising of both the dead matter / the material object as well as the Life - the Live Awareness also.

Driven by sheer memory / knowledge / information, the mental construct, our hopes, desires and fears, born out of our imagination only, we constantly create our own conflicts, misery all the time.

The Spontaneous Moment, devoid of all so-called past and future however never inflicts upon us all this strife, agony and the anxiety.
