Joyful Life: Positive Vibrations


                                      The Balancing Skill 

 

Our survival needs in the competitive world will force our participation in the human rats race for wealth and power. Our success in the rat race will depend on tuning our mind to the rat race and simultaneous development of the required skills. 

If we like to survive to lead a joyful life, we need to get out of the rat race and move close to nature to enjoy its music and dances briefed in a post below. Obviously we need to undo the above rats race tuning and re-tune our mind to lead a joyful life.

How to balance the above two apparently contradicting tuning and retuning of our mind?

The balance will depend on our option to lead a simple life or a life enjoying all ever growing comforts. A simple life will confer more freedom to opt out of the rat race after ensuring the survival needs of a simple life. That freedom will decrease in proportion to the comfort level of our lives.

The skill and scope of sensing the positive vibrations is related to the above balancing skill.

While in the rat race, we also become a source of negative vibration in view of our tuning the mind to be in the rat race. But if our life’s basic tuning were for positive vibrations, we will feel uncomfortable with our negative vibrations as well as the negative vibrations of the other human rats in the rat race. It is like a swimmer going down the sea looking for something depending on the oxygen available in his kit  and immediately come back to the sea level to breathe free air after getting the object of search. Hence our basic tuning for positive vibrations will caution us to get out of the rat race after getting our simple living survival needs.

Those who succeed in getting out of the rat race will enjoy the process of undoing the rat race tuning for retuning the mind for positive vibrations. 

Then to experience consonance we will look for objects of the positive vibrations in nature and other human beings.

Since those in the middle class and below are already living a simple life, it will be a heterogeneous group of different kinds of tuning and hence different kinds of positive and negative vibrations. Those with the negative vibrations will look for opportunities to take part in the rats race to enhance the comforts in their life and to earn more wealth and power. Also those with positive vibrations will have a self contented life and shun the opportunities for the rat race. If we could identify such people of positive vibrations and move close to them like we move close to nature, we will increase the scope for consonance experiences.

The probability of identifying such vibrations will be more in the middle class and lower levels and less in the upper middle class and affluent sections. This will be because the pressure to be in the rat race will increase as one increase his/her level in the social hierarchy.

But to earn wealth and power, one must develop a social network of people in the higher levels. 

Now it is clear that we need to balance the above two apparently contradicting social networking to survive and at the same time lead a joyful life. Obviously this balancing is related to the above mentioned balancing of tuning and retuning our minds.   

Remember to move closely to people at different social levels need dynamic changes in our mode of interaction to suit the level. We shall see about them in the next post.
