Of Bears & Bulls.

Hypothetical Realms

----------------©--------------

I'm truly a slow-learner.

It takes really quite a long time before I can understand the real sense of a some simple-looking common phrase. Then some-day so unexpectedly the truth dawns upon me in a split second.

Going through a post about Wu Yajun, this happened today. Wu Yajun is so Famous a Chinese Billionaire. She lost $1 billion in a single day. 

At the time, when she resigned her  company "Longfor", in a single day the share-price of the company  tumbled down 38%.

That is it. I tried to understand the behavior of share-market. I mean the stock-exchange.

And the proverbial Bear and the Bull.

For quite a long time, even till this date, had been trying to understand what is a Bull and a Bear in that context.

Now I thought over the situation again. 

If I have some scrip and I see it's going to fall what I would do?

In the situation I can either hold it, sell away, or may buy more of the same, according to my expectation of the future-prospects of the same. If I think the price is likely to go down  presently, and I expect it to rise after a time, I can opt for either holding it or even buying it to gain advantage in future when the price would be ascending. 

Again if think I should sell down my stock, because at present I could gain profit over my investments, then I behave in a different and another manner.

In that case I'm either a Bull or a Bear.

I'm either Bullish or Bearish. 

Now I think, I can understand what it means when they say "the market is "Bullish and / or Bearish".

But as I never deal with money in any kind, and neither in the form of investment of any kind, I'm unaffected and unconcerned about the ups and downs of the market.

Frankly, when I think about share-market, I just think about how I can share a post on a social networking site! Sharing is enough. I expect nothing at all. Neither the "likes" nor further sharing, who views my posts, shares further. 

Just because I see, there is really no "future" as such at all, except when I think about it. 

I can see hope and fear are the consequence of thinking about the future. And So I'm no more in the grip of desire or fear.

Fear and desire, hope and apprehension are myths only, just like the sense of insecurity and security!

But still, one can perhaps see and enjoy too, how the people are so gripped, worried and concerned by the mere trivial thought of the hypothetical future, security, insecurity and the matters like money and market.

I ask to me :

Do I have really a future! Isn't future but a thought in the mind!

Then I see at once that likewise future the mind too is but a thought only that is there because of being alive. Being alive implies being Conscious. Being Conscious; not about this or that or even of myself, for as soon as the consciousness or 'being conscious' splits into -- 'being conscious of this and that, any-thing what-so-ever', sense of 'I' too emerges out as a consequence.

Thus sense of 'I' is again a phenomenon like the sense of this and that.

The individual consciousness 'I' is never the same as the prime, primordial consciousness that abides ever, irrespective of this or that or anything else that is external to it.

Mind is Consciousness. 

It is neither 'my', nor 'I' -any.

'I' is the individual.

There is no one as 'I' who-so-ever, who could claim thought as 'mine'.

Mind is its own realm, while thought its own. The two never meet!

'I' is 'Thought' and is thought in thought.

That is the ending / culmination of thought. 

Consciousnesses still abides.

In time and beyond, because time too is, - in thought and thought of, only.
