The Paradigm Of Simplicity (Το Παράδειγμα της Απλότητας)

-From my text on the Logos (The Word).

What we experience in life is the reflection of what we seek or what we want. It is a place in the mind, where our thoughts converge with our consciousness. Where our needs are met and our desires are understood. It is not intricate in its nature or design, because it is the paradigm of simplicity of which life reveals itself with the philosophical truth.

Life can appear to be difficult and cruel in its incidences. The challenges and burdens we must overcome are connected to the strife we make and the solutions we take. What we learn in this paradigm of living is considered relevant and personifies our ethos.

When we simplify life, we are applying logic and awareness. We should not complicate our needs and thoughts with the unnecessary encumbrance. It is not about feeling ordinary. It is about being humble and virtuous.

Anxiety, stress, attenuation and anguish are amongst the numerous signs of our troubling reality, but it is the understanding of our human nature that teaches us to accept our imperfections and moments of debility, because it is not unnatural.

There is a deeper question that we should seek to resolve, why do we make life more difficult than what it is in its true essence? Could it be that we perceive life to be impossible to be understood, or that we complicate ourselves thinking that we are entitled to something that we have not yet earned with our diligence?

Regardless of what our situation is, we should never succumb to the realisation that we are nobody in this world. There are things that reveal our undeniable truth, as there are episodes in our lives, when we feel incapable of changing the course of our present time. Change is a natural process that we should not fear. It is kinetic.

Simplicity is a thought that most people associate to conformity, but it is much more than that notion in the philosophical sense. Things that are simplified are meant to be rational and relevant than things that we embellish for the purpose of being accepted. It does not imply that we relinquish our intellect.

Instead, we should embrace it with ideas and thoughts that progress into meaningful substance that manifests in a method that is construed as being reliable. Once we have realised that life is measured more by what we learn from it than what we seek from it, then we can proceed to experience through our senses, the immersed contemplation of fulfilment and eudaimonia.

We should encourage the idea that existing in the material world is only a part of our human nature and being. The simplicity that I describe is like watching the sea from the shore and perceiving how it interacts with the present animation of life at dawn.

The criterion that we should apply to life will form the lasting pillars of our philosophy. The belief in the One which is the Enas, teaches us to explore our minds, but at the same time maintain the genuine essence of our character. We are beings that possess a higher consciousness and understanding.

For that reason, we have the inherent capability to rationalise things that are more significant than those things that are insignificant in their comparison. The actual power lies within us to distinguish the meaning of something that we consider worthy. What we are given in life is more than our mere mortality.

We are given the possibility to achieve the one thing that will liberate us, the acceptance of the self and the belief in the One. When we remove the veil of insecurities in our lives, we discover the truth that has always remained simple in its nature.
