Trying to dominate others, to throw one’s weight on others, to influence others by hook or by crook – such everlasting or ever-growing tendencies – is this yet not another unfortunate conditioning? 

Domination in the work place of a man is passed on to his wife when he returns to his house.  She then passes the domination on to her children or to her servant/help whenever she finds an opportunity to do so.  Even the children will become conditioned to dominate one another.

Is it possible to live life without this conditioning of the mind interfering?  Is it not possible to live with enormous comprehension, courtesy, love, mutual respect – spontaneously and naturally – not as a cultivated ideal of a sect or cult?  Domination often comes in the form of proselytization, where someone – under the guise of congeniality or friendship – will assert their religious beliefs on another, trying to convert them to their belief system, thereby gaining a sense of control and self-gratification.  

Let us find this out by and for ourselves in the dimension of holistic awareness, not as yet another activity of our separative or divisive consciousness.

Three perceptions:

1.    Agitation (inside) is tiresome noise, debilitating and depressing, whereas attention in choicelessness is silent rejuvenation – an energy of existence:  so joyful.

2.    Learning – not ‘I’ learning – is a movement in the dimension of “No-I”, a pious and perceptive phenomenon of Insight.  And this brings about immediate action.

3.    Real learning – not merely following or imitating – is an outcome of that listening which happens without any intention or barrier from the mind or from the ‘I’.  Such a mind puts aside all opinions, conjectures, experiences, and so on.  One is then available to the intensity and benediction of the Omnipresence Un-Nameable.
