Free & Abundant Living Experiments
TRANSCENDENTAL INCLUSION
To allow ourselves to be simply inspired by the universal spirit to give freely & abundantly to each other.
Life in general, and our interactions with ourselves and others through out our lives, is the most magnificent platform to practice giving, volunteering and serving each other simply (Transcendental Inclusion). This is truly important - to transcendentally include in every aspect of our lives, and in as many interactions of our lives as possible.
​​
FLE is only a platform to serve as an instrument to constantly remember and celebrate this intention of Transcendental Inclusion, individually & collectively, much like the essence of our other festivals & celebrations. ​That much is reason enough for us to invest time & effort into this purely symbolic, deeply reminiscent & celebratory platform of Transcendental Inclusion. FLE invites simply-inspired individuals to give/volunteer/serve and other simply-inspired folks to receive/experience/participate in that. FLE invites you to explore what intuitively keeps calling to you, and inspiring you to share with each other.
​
As someone with experiences of giving/volunteering/serving each other simply & receiving/participating/experiencing each other simply at FLE, I absolutely know that these are some of the peak life experiences of freedom & abundant I’ve ever had.​
I. INCLUSION BEYOND REWARDS & PUNISHMENTS
Does fixing broken socio-economic systems around the world create on inclusive world?
Most of the people who are working on inclusion, be it governments, NGOs, think tanks, international & local organisations around the world, believe in systemic level solutions for inclusion, in effectively changing people's behaviour and bring inclusion. This is due to our unfortunate experiences of living & suffering in these systems,
Does fixing broken socio-economic systems around the world create on inclusive world?. Unfortunately, the fact is that, it doesn’t – well, at least when it comes to one's will to include self & others, irrespective of external motivations one way or the other.
​
Different socio-economic systemic solutions only provide motivations & de-motivations for people to include others in certain behavioural ways. This is because they are fundamentally carrots and sticks, or socio-economic rewards & punishment based mechanisms. They can force specific behaviour in people towards inclusion, but one's spirit/will to include self & others is not transformed at the level of socio-economic rewards & motivations.
​
The same is true for any particular kind of socially-constructed external or internal systems/solution, or evolutionary-formed innate systems/solutions. In all these cases, although we experience the need for us to include others internally, or even innately, they are all very much a result of external conditioning (rewards & punishments based/carrots & sticks) to include others, rather than one's own will/spirit of inclusion.
​
What this means is that, in order to create a deeply inclusive societal alternative where people's spirit of inclusion is transformed, it is futile to come up with, or experiment with, or build new - socio-economic systems/solutions, socially constructed, mentally-constructed, or evolutionary-built systems/solutions for Inclusion.
II. INCLUSION BEYOND IDEAS & EAGERNESS
We can only reach deeper inclusivity, once we’ve eliminated our ego of inclusion – when we’ve eliminated our limited/specific/finite ideas of what inclusion is and isn’t.
Our ideas of inclusion and exclusion (same as good/bad, right/wrong) come from our ego – either from our individual ego, or, our collective ego.
​
Our “needing to do” something specifically inclusive, or in “needing to be” someone specifically inclusive in our activities and interactions, whether we realise it or not, is coming from a place of compulsion, and when we’ve similar expectations from others, it is also coming from a place of attachment to a certain idea of inclusion. We have resorted to form specific ideas about what inclusion is and what it doesn’t look like. This forms in reaction to our unconscious fears, guilt, anger, shame, judgement, trauma, etc. about our individual experiences about inclusion/exclusion. We often consider those who include others or us, in the way we feel inclusive, as saviors and want endlessly to be one of them/like them. We deem those who don’t include others or us that way, to be perpetrators/evil/less dignified, and want to change/exclude them.
Our Ego, whether individual or collective, is always limited in understanding deeper inclusion. However hard we might try, our individual ideas of inclusion, i.e., our ego of inclusion cannot be perfected over time to reach deeper inclusivity (the will/spirit of inclusion). We can only reach deeper inclusivity, once we’ve eliminated our ego of inclusion – when we’ve eliminated our limited/specific/finite ideas of what inclusion is and isn’t.
The same applies to our collective Ego of Inclusion - In collectively “needing to do” something specifically inclusive, or in collectively “needing to be” specifically inclusive in our activities and interactions, whether we realise it or not, we’re collectively operating from a place of collective compulsion - we are reacting to our unconscious collective fears, guilt, anger, shame, judgement, trauma, etc. about our collective experiences about inclusion. We consider the systems that include others or us collectively in the way we feel inclusive, as saviours/perfect and want endlessly to expand them. We deem those systems that don't include others or us collectively that way, to be perpetrators/evil/imperfect, and want to change/eliminate them. Same as above, our collective ego of inclusion has to be eliminated for us to collectively experience deep inclusivity/the spirit of inclusion.
​​​
While all chest thumping ideas and execution of individual & collective inclusion (& exclusion) feels like coming from an individual’s or a collective’s SPIRIT OF INCLUSION, it is only coming from an individual’s or a collective EGO OF INCLUSION. Defining, codifying and engaging in limited/specific/finite way(s) of seemingly inclusive activities, in whatever way, or at whatever level is just us letting our individual/collective ego play out, and is a recipe for disaster. We're simply compulsively doing our ego's bidding in the name of including others. It's the ego trying to make us do things, or make us be things, individually or collectively, to serve its own purposes.
The more we are caught up in this kind of ego play and compulsion, individually or collectively, the worse our individual and collective suffering gets, and from that point only frustration, despair and deep sadness, pain, exhaustion grow. It is of utmost importance to let go of our specific ideas of inclusion, and with that we can easily let go of our compulsive “need to do inclusive actions”, or compulsive ‘need to be inclusive“ in the ways our ego dictates.
III. INCLUSION BEYOND
INTER-PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
The Spirit of Inclusion simply flows through us and others individually and collectively, to each other from the universal spirit.
When someone deeply includes us, or we deeply include someone, if we don’t have the necessary tools and experiences, we believe that “WE” as people are being deeply inclusive, and that it is “OUR” deep inclusive spirit as people, that we’re at the receiving end of, or at the giving end. THIS IS SIMPLY AN ILLUSION. The experience of "deep inclusion from another person" is essentially the unwitnessed experience of "deep inclusion of the universe through another person".
The Spirit of Inclusion is something we can only experience(receive) from the universe/universal spirit, via ourselves and others. We only can allow it to flow through us to ourselves and others. We are not the original givers of our love, our kindness, our patience, our acceptance, etc to ourselves or others, much like the beautiful moon that only reflects the sun's light(love/inclusion) even in the dark night sky. We’re not the original givers, because it is not our spirit of inclusion, or other’s spirit of inclusion.
​
The Spirit of Inclusion doesn't belong to us as individuals. That grace isn’t ours as individuals, for us to give others.
The Spirit of Inclusion doesn't belong to us also as collectives. That grace is also not found in us as collectives, for us to collectively give others.
The Spirit of Inclusion belongs to the UNIVERSAL SPIRIT.
That grace is sourced only in the UNIVERSAL SPIRIT.
The Spirit of Inclusion simply flows through us and others individually or collectively, to each other from the UNIVERSAL SPIRIT.
We can connect with the Universal Spirit of Inclusion/the grace of the universe by knowing in our heart and remembering in our thoughts & actions that universe is the giver/source of all grace, the giver of infinite grace, the giver of grace in infinite ways, and we're only it’s channels. Being aware of this means letting go of our ideas & feelings of ‘MY INCLUSIVE ACTION’ or ‘OUR INCLUSIVE ACTIONS’ in giving to each other. This way we become open to experience/receive the grace of the universe, and to become open to the grace of the universe flowing through us to others, and from others to us. Also, this way our quality of end-giving to each other and end-receiving from each other, becomes much better.
When we get stuck in the illusion of ‘MY INCLUSIVE ACTION’ or ‘OUR INCLUSIVE ACTIONS’, we’ve get disconnected ourselves from the grace/spirit of the universe to large extent, our enlarged ego turns to others around us, to suck dry their energy for ourselves( in the form of money, power, pride, attention, territory, and whatnot), hiding itself behind these actions as our default nature of human behaviour. This is the cautionary tale that we all need to keep in mind.
IV. INCLUSION BEYOND ASSUMED REALITY
There is a much larger inclusion at play, that of the universe. There is much larger intelligence at play, that of the universe. There is a much larger power at play, that of the universe.
With more inner experiences, guidance, and tools, when we start to see more clearly, we realise that any possible plan for inclusion that we can ever come up with is already taken care of, by the universe in the most brilliant ways possible, at every level of our existence. We just don’t see it that way because we’re usually thinking from our limited identities and designing inclusive solutions for our limited identities.
If we can just become capable of zooming out of ourselves (ego) even a little bit successfully, and see the larger context of things, it is simply so evident how our “limited identity” plans for inclusion/exclusion for ourselves or for each other, individually or collectively, in whatever aspect of life are simply of no consequence what-so-ever in the larger scheme of things and in the larger context of inclusion. Any inclusive solution/system that we come up with our limited identity in mind, is going to be trumped by the mechanisms about our unlimited identity, because our unlimited identity is our true nature.
​
There is a much larger inclusion at play, that of the universe. There is much larger intelligence at play, that of the universe. There is a much larger power at play, that of the universe. The fact is, we (whether individually, or, collectively) have no power to include or exclude anyone in the limited or unlimited context, whether it seems like it or not, because the universe is working its larger inclusive plan through all of us in different ways.
Every so-called inclusive/exclusive human action, or collective system that exists today, or has existed previously, or will exist in future is because of the invisible hand of the universal spirit working constantly to create inclusion in the much larger context. However hard we try to include or exclude someone, it is not up to us or anyone else – It is overseen completely by the Laws/Mechanisms of the Universe that govern the larger context of inclusion.
​
Sure, we can humour ourselves and make up stuff on inclusion to pacify our ego, or imagine stuff for the heck of it, but if we think all that will provide truly inclusive solutions, we’re simply kidding ourselves.
Then, what is left for us to do about inclusion/exclusion? PRECISELY NOTHING.
Well, I know this sounds a lot like an anticlimax. Let me explain what I mean.
​
We don’t have to do anything for each other for inclusion’s sake.
We don’t have to give anything to each other, or receive anything from each other for Inclusion’s sake.
We don’t have to give to others/volunteer for others/serve others/include others, for others sake, or, for our own sake.
We don’t even have to give to others/volunteer for others/serve others/include others, because we can or we cannot.
We don’t even have to give to others/volunteer for others/serve others/include others, because we have or we don’t have.
​
There is no purpose behind giving/ serving/ volunteering for each other. Not any purpose of inclusion. Also, not any purpose of either our ego, or even our own atonement.
We give/serve/volunteer simply for each other in response to inspiration/invitation from the universe in our hearts to do so. We give/serve/volunteer for each other simply.
The universe is giving everyone everything through each of us. We just let the gifts of the universe flow though each other to each other simply.
