The Simple is Divine, The Divine is Simple

[Sir] Stephen Hawkins, in my opinion, is someone who came closest in defining divinity in our contemporary world. One might successfully argue that with his equations, hypothesis and theories Dr. Hawkins described blackholes to their most accurate dimensions in the field of astrophysics till date. And in doing so, Dr. Hawkins gives us a better insight and understanding of that brilliantly amazing concept of Singularity; and that is where his thesis comes the closest to defining divinity.



Indeed, Divinity and Singularity, when treated at a concept level, are very closely related. In a truly esoteric sense, however, they are one and the same.

Divinity is Singularity, and vice-versa.

At the centre is Singularity. The moment one steps outside of this “centre” is where the so called World begins, for that’s the realm of duality and duality is THE definition of the world.

Singularity, non-duality, no-thing-ness, are the terms which as esoteric as they are misused, misunderstood and misguided.

These terms are not “easy” to grasp by the contemporary mind since they stem away from the root “Simple”.

Singularity = Simple

And since the world is complex the contemporary mind is “trained” to see complexity of all dealings and hence miss the inherent Simplicity in the process. Simplicity that is pure, Simplicity that is the essence, of anything and everything.

Simplicity of nature
Simplicity of life
Simplicity of existence
Simplicity of being

Life is generally flittered away with details – noise, pollution, partitions and parasites – as they take the simple matter and details as such make things complex, its serpentine tentacles holding the simple life and its pure breath hostage.

Simplicity is common, un-special.

This un-specialness is the true celebration of life – cuts down the noise, clearing the mind, unification of the senses, and providing sustenance.

Specialness is but a modified accentuated ego of the misinformed.
Whereas the sages and masters, meditatingly, have proclaimed that knowledge begets humbleness.

Every “realisation”, every awakening has to lead to this ubiquitous commonness, this simplicity that is un-special. That's the true merit of the "experience". And as one traverses the passages it makes one less and less special.

Seeing It As It's Going To Be

And the wonderment continues; Only this time it is a little different:Now it is meta-wonderment A wondering about wonderment.
Increasingly, as I dive in and come out of the experiences, it gives me the sense of deja-vu (deja-vu is only of the ten possible psychological phenomena possible at such times. Here is more on the topic.).

Every time that I have the feeling that "I know this", or "I have already been into this situation", or "I have had a dream about such and such thing before it actually happened", it also gives me a potentially charged up feeling of being special.

And whilst feeling being special (and, better than the other), I give a push and a massage to my petty ego.

And the brighter side of me gives away a valiant smirk...

By the way of meta-wonderment, then, I wonder - I feel that I had wished such and such thing, and had 'seen' that before it actually happened. And I thus believe that I am special because I had the "power" to make things happen as per my wish and my "dream".

Now, it turns around and, with a look of a mother to its naive child, suggests that it is never the surround and the system that aligns to you; it is always you who align to the nature. And what you call your Will, that which you desire, and dream of, and assume that that's what is making things happen, is rather a reflection of the things to come.

Increasingly, I am made to 'see' and dream what it is going to be
Increasingly, it tells me that I am but an observer and no more
Increasingly, seeing and being is becoming
