Her plasticity and malleability are closer to the changelings in science fiction novels.1 She can change not only her color, but the totality of her manifestation, across all the dimensions of the inner Riemannian manifold.Living life to the fullest takes a lot of dedication and work. The soul actually is more plastic than a chameleon. This is what some ancient thinkers were referring to when they called the soul a chameleon. Malleability is the property of the soul necessary for her to change from one form to another. All these phenomena are the same soul changing her form to be one thing or another. She can move from experiencing herself as an adult man with arms and legs, to a chubby baby, to an empty sense of being a formless self, to a sense of being a bubbling fountain, to being a torrential rain of tears, to being an empty vast space, and so on. The soul transforms by molding herself into the various forms of experience. This morphogenic property of the living soul indicates another basic property: malleability. The pure knowledge of the soul manifests as the various forms of knowledge, giving pure life her inner content. The life of the soul is inseparable from her dynamism and changeability. It is the essence of life to change and unfold, evolving into new forms and functions. It is the most precious thing in existence. It is the very substance of truth and the innermost secret of all truths. It is the reality of us, the truth of us. It is so significant a thing for us that it is the only true nutrient for our life. It is so near a thing to us that it is actually the very substance of our identity. It is so near a thing to our hearts that only the heart can taste it. It is what moves our hearts, illuminates our minds, fulfills our lives. It is our significance, our meaning, our nature, our identity. It is most deeply our nature, and it is the most precious and most beautiful center of us. No, we experience it as that which is most intimately ourselves. It is not experienced as something alien, distant, or neutral, like a physical object or an idea. The experience of essential substance can have such a depth, such a richness, such a realness, such a meaningfulness, and such an impact on our minds that some people actually get dizzy, unable to take the impact directly. Here, life and existence are not concepts, not ideas or abstract descriptions rather, they are the most alive, most intimate, richest, deepest, most moving, and most touching stirrings within us. It is like a substance in which each atom is packed with live existence. Essence is like packed, condensed, concentrated, completely pure life. The body is alive, but essence is life itself. The quality of aliveness of essence is of a different order from that of the body. Adults engage in many more activities than young children, and they are more capable of self-organization, but this is different from the raw life force, the excitatory state that we feel more alive when experiencing. In fact many adults have to engage in sports or exercise regimes to feel the vitality and vigor of life. The life force does not seem to be experientially as available to adults in their prime as it is to young children. As has been explored by many existential philosophers and discussed by many psychologists, adults frequently experience their life force as being blocked, constricted, and twisted, not as vigorous as they know it can be. Babies and young children are bundles of vitality and life-life within them seems to be uncontrollable and overflowing-while mature adults frequently are not.
#Wisdom quotes about life full
Life seems to be not complete at the beginning of our human life, but it is definitely present in a robust and full manner. It is clear to observation that babies and young children are generally more robust and exude more pure life energy than most people at their physical prime. We would observe more aliveness when our bodies are at their physical prime namely, less at the beginning of life when the body is still developing, and even less at the end of life when the body is deteriorating. If life is a characteristic of the body then it should be more apparently present the healthier the body, and should peak at the body’s physical prime. Two specific observations are sufficient to suggest this possibility. Even though this understanding of the arising of life and consciousness in the cosmos might be correct from a certain viewpoint, our perspective here is that life is not a property of the body, but of the soul.
