Gnosis/Knowledge

What is there one can know?
Apart from the fact that we exist
or as Descartes put "I think therefore I AM."
Apart from the fact that we are, or that I AM, rather, since even assuming the someone apart from you exists is an assumption.
I guess what other thing we can observe about the natural universe is that it comes in pairs that are seeming opposites but unite and complement each other:
virtue/vice
hot/cold
female/male
night/day
full/empty
up/down
dark/light
big/small
short/tall
fat/thin

It's because I notice these dualistic unities within the world of form that I'm able to understand that there is the potential for a Divine Mind to be behind this physical Universe that contains intricate order. These phenomena could not have arisen of their own accord without a Divine Mind manifesting them.
Yet the pairs exist of their own, and unify the world... with what?
perhaps with meaning?
of finding our I & I.

The Nature of Existence is Emptiness = Infinity
Infinity = Emptiness = 1 = 1*1*1*1.. etc.. ad infinitum
Indivisible.

One Four Ever.

Complexity requires Fitness for Self-Preservation and World Survival Preparedness, since Life begets a shadow called Death.
Truth - Deception.
Inner - Outer.
Under - Over.
Ignorance - Innerstanding.

Duality gives birth to Layers of Complexity that the Overcomer(s) must outgrow and outstrip.

The central Nucleus feels bliss

for a twinkle

then evolves through layers of complexity until merging back into its original formlessness.

Progress is based upon order.

Light unifies the world of form.

Consciousness vibrates at a spectrum of levels.

Bliss is a constant characteristic/state of Being that has the potential to unify Existence on all planes.

Being is also a characteristic of Existence.
Non-being cannot exist.
At our core we are empty. When we close our eyes and remain silent we can experience that Primordial state of Nothingness.

Pleasure/Pain
Riches/Poverty

These are traits found in the world of form...

We keep expecting our thoughts to alter our being... somehow make us Be MORE so we keep thinking... running around in circles... thinking it'll give us satisfcation...

Fact is, before we even had an intellect and Understood Words we were Pure Being.

However long it lasted within our Conscious Experience all of us who are Human Beings have experienced Pure Being.

On both scales whether it ranges from a Twinkle to an Aeon to an Eternity... Pure Being is what the Mystics have called G-d.

The only way to get in touch with that Pure Being is through what the Mystics have called 'meditation' or shutting down of the Mind, stilling the Body, and restraining Speech.

Only then can we experience our hidden faculty which Spiritual Mystics have called the 'Spiritual Heart'.

It is that part of us which is able to feel the Bliss of Existence which we once felt and are moving towards feeling Endlessly.

Pure Being is Timeless

Durationless

Indivisible

If there are any Divisions whatsoever it is no longer 1.

1 / 1 = 1

If we think we can get something outside ourselves to make us feel whole it is bound to arise then disappear and chances are it won't arise at all unless there is a purpose in it.

Our senses deceive us because they lead to fanciful imaginings of what we *think* we need in order to feel complete.

we think *I* need this.
And we are convinced that it is true.
We have to either experience that *I* instead of distracting ourselves with our fanciful clinging to form and seeking to satisfy ourselves via that or pursue that which we think will satisfy our *I*.

Fact is, the *I* is already satisfied.
We experienced Nirvana at our Inception and were led to evolve.

As Humans we are distracted by our Minds.

But our true nature is Being.

not Thinking.

Thinking is a means to an end... Being is the end.

I recently realized that my subconscious mind has been speaking to me this entire time...


it's nothing but my will, which is nothing but the Omniwill.

The world of form is the unseen world manifested. Everything that exists in the world of form exists in the unformed world exactly the same.

it's like reality is light and reality is making all the unformed things take form.

well, that's my best guess. I'm open to whatever lol.
