Consistency

5 posts in this topic

What is consistency exactly?

Of course you can't answer that question using language, or over thinking about it, but how would you go about discovering that answer?

Consistency isn't just some abstract, theoretical word, its the heart of existence. Our life is built upon things being consistent. This has been observed by humans for 1000s of years. Whole paradigms, like the physicality of the universe, and the scientific method are built, in essence, upon consistency.

Consistency means living according to the past. With what will you be consistent? If you want to be consistent you can have only one reference, and that is the past. To be consistent means to live according to the past, and to live according to the past is not to live at all. To live according to the past is to be dead. Then your life will be just a repetition.

The consistent man is a logical man, his life is one-dimensional. He lives in arithmetic, he follows logic. If anything goes against logic he simply avoids seeing it; he pretends that it is not there, because it is so disturbing to his logic.

Heraclitus has said, 'No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.'

In fact, life is a continuous flux; everything is changing, moving. Nothing is static, nothing is permanent, everything is flowing, nothing is the same.

The same sunrise will not happen again. In a sense also, the sun is not the same. Every day it is new; basic changes have occur

red. And the sky will not be the same again; this morning is not going to come again. Every morning has its own individuality, and the sky and the colors, they will not gather in the same pattern again. But you go on moving as if everything is just the same.

ohhhh, things aren't as consistent as what we make them out to be, its our perception that makes it seem consistent. Thanks!
