Joyful living - The Digital Key

We live in digital age. Though our ears & eyes are analogue in perception, all processed sound and visuals from all kinds of gadgets, had undergone digital processing. What we see and hear from these gadgets are the digitally processed analogue outputs.

The nature of our individual vibrations is also influenced by the nature of the society we are living in. Hence to understand and retune our mind for consonant interactions, we need to sensitize all kinds of processes in the society and use our understanding as the key to retune our mind. In the digital age, understanding the digital key will help us to retune our mind to a joyful life.

During the previous analogue age, value based growth dominated the society. Those who became rich by pursuing value free process were frowned upon.

In this digital age, value compromise process successfully camouflaged with pseudo values , had become the successful manthra for growth (wealth, power, & influence)  at individual level, company level, nation level & global level. Obviously the corridors of power and influence are dominated by experts of the process. Hence they are respected and even feared.

Till the analogue age, the strength of the social values helped the individuals with the freedom, to experience positive and negative swings in the life process of their option. Creativity and originality in all field including science and arts blossomed resulting in wonderful outputs and products.

The digital age witnesses power & influence thirsty human robots destroying nature and threatening the very survival of human society. Remix and imitation are packed as attractive marketable products. All activities in science and arts had become market driven. All individuals are tempted to join in a rat race for wealth, power and influence.

The harmful dimension of the rat race and our survival skill with respect to the human rats’ network was briefed in a previous post.

How are we to preserve our freedom to be friendly with nature to lead a truly joyful life?

Obviously we need to retune our mind to have the right vibrations at our level to experience consonance, and , if blessed, experience the divine resonance.

How do we acquire the digital key that will help us to retune our mind to a joyful life?

To understand the digital key, we need to have a basic understanding of the digital processing.

In the following figure, we find a wave (analogue signal) sliced into 2 steps, 4 steps & 8 steps becoming a digital signal. In the reverse process, the steps are joined to give stepped output as the analogue signal. In actual case, the steps are smoothed out to become a curve so that the output resembled the original input in shape.

The above example involved 1 bit ( 2¹ = 2), 2  bit ( 2² = 4) & 3 bit ( 2³ = 8) digital processes  to serve as a simple example. In digital gadgets it may be 24 bit or more. Obviously with more bits, the step width will decrease so that the final output resembled more to the input shape and smoothed out well. 

The output is the result of joining of the micro level digital steps to get macro level final output.

We need to adopt the above digital process to each of our interaction with the individual human beings. Note that the analogue wave had positive and negative swing. But in the digital process, it started from zero (000) and increased in positive steps to convert it into digital signal.There is no negative but only zero and stepped positives in the digital process. 

In digital age, we need to re tune our mind so that we do not permit negative feelings like anger or hatred. In case it makes an entry, we need to zero it - like the electric charges becoming zero when earthed. The previous posts including the one on ‘The Skill of the Secret of Dying for Joyful Living’ briefed the techniques to ‘earth’ the negative feelings.

Zero means a kind of dead level. We need to die to the negative feelings so that we start from zero level while interacting with others. Depending upon the positive dimension of the other person, we apply our positive level to deal with that person at the micro level.

The net resultant of all the interactions we had with several individuals at different positive magnitudes,  will result in our state of mind at the macro level.  

We shall not forget that, like nature, our life is analogue. But we can acquire the skill of digital process to have a micro level digital positive interaction. The skill included the joining of the micro level processes to bring out the final output at macro level – positive & analogue in nature.Unless we become the shelter of the positive feelings, we can not acquire the above digital skill for joyful living.
