understanding opposition.

in order to learn how to create parables we need to understand opposition

The very best parables ( IMO ) are created to show one specific point. My point is to show you the basic law of duality and how it holds everything we perceive in the universe together.

you can use this exercise the same way from start to finish when the exercise nulls out.

learning positive and negative opposites.

do this on a piece of paper on the left the word positive the right neg.

find a positive thing like the word good, happy , nice, sweet, funny,

then write the negative to the right of it

Pos / Neg
sweet / sour
happy / sad
love / hate
good / bad
laugh / cry
real / illusion
truth / lie
up / down
white / black
warm / cold
smile / frown
know/ not know
help / hinder
please / hurt
ceiling / floor
peace / war
whisper / yell
agree / disagree
future / past
heaven / hell
push / pull
right / left
right / wrong
north / south

its what ever YOU decide is positive or neg. Look around the room, notice things that oppose. Your positive and neg may oppose others positives and neg's and you'll understand why too.

keep adding to the list of words until you learn it so well you spot all over the place in your environment.. you'll be VERY surprised how the world looks when you get into the exercise a while.

everything in the universe . every particle that we perceive is made of a positive and negative, from the smallest single object to the size of a Galaxy.

a thing will not exist without two poles. no exception.

water will drain in one direction on the north pole and the opposite direction on the south pole

the positive pole is always created first , then the negative pole. Doing the exercise for a few months you'll see more and more things around you with pos and neg poles. soon you'll notice that there is nothing in the universe except a positive and a negative. it just does not exist in the universe without both

you're not gonna "get it " unless you do it . theory is not enough and you need to write it down . Its a never ending list . Master the list like Beethoven did music.

next is putting positive words and sentences at opposition to each other because everything in the universe has opposition to it . NO EXCEPTIONS.

when we put words and sentences into opposing examples , it reveals a truth about life and the universe. it reveals the truth to any question you can dream up about life and the universe but you need to learn how to put the package together first . Package meaning a sentence or statement that proves its own opposite.

Hi 1life, a warm welcome to SF, and, a great spiritual experience to you here! And your duality analysis is analogous to how our different biological systems work? The best to you!

A very warm welcome to the forum!

thx ! a warm welcome is always better than a cold one.

in fact if a

warm+ welcome is a good+ thing

then by the law of duality ,

a cold- welcome is a bad- thing.

the above is a package or what Ive coined as a " package " and they go hand in hand and what im leading too in my first post . Its a parable that points to the law of duality

when we love+ a thing we hate- to see it go

when we hate- a thing we love+ to see it go .

Notice the + and - symbols are also included in the parable package.

Yes ill be mentioning the analogy of life and the biological systems very soon . its very cool . Life replicates itself in the physical world. Life can hear, it can see , smell and anything else our physical body's can but without the need for a body . Life can do it without limits too in ways that are infinitely better .

but before we get into that we need to get to know the world of duality and opposition. Then itll make more sense.

Thanks 1Life, you have the old story of "+ and -" that was used by ancient intelligence to produced life, outstanding!

But, IMHO, I would add, living in this day and time, we need to be able to "be" in the non-duality to alleviate pain in "trouble time", otherwise, it's difficult.

The best to you!

I'm just not sure we should practice dualizing everything--it comes to us all too easily at this time in history, in this society.

For me, it's more useful to remember that the two pieces of the duality are contained in the whole and that we only see them as separate. In fact, they are not clearly delineated nor obvious--many see different parts as the duality (which point you did make).

I'm just not sure this approach leads to seeing the wholeness of things, ourselves included, when we are practicing labeling parts.

My own 2 cents.

thx Lora and love 9

moved this to the main forum . Same title but it says continued .

im starting with the basic's of duality. There's no escaping it and so many dont see it .

before we operate without it , I feel we need to know what it is .

Duality applies to everything in the universe. So why not know as much about that which applies to everything in the universe.

Duality is not a " practice" its an understanding. The exercises are what we practice . the understanding is what we get from practicing.

once its thoroughly understood, practice is no longer needed.

we will all benefit in some way by understanding the basic law that governs this universe. It will also help us understand ourself in a spiritual nature.

understanding opposition will be a great benifit for anyone . I expect to read opposing post like youre along the way and its totally ok . Opposotion comes in every form . Including intelectual .

my goal is to help others using the simplest means in the lest amount of time.

Im a huge fan or Ocamm's Razor btw . It applys to everything i do .

if theres a better way to do what im doing, please let me know .

Sorry 1Life--I still think the point is to escape duality. It is what gives us good/evil, us/them, rich/poor, left/right, Republican/Democrat, Christian/Muslim, Sunni/Shia. It is the basis of most religions, and it does much damage. It creates separation from and a fear of the "other half". In fact it is not half, it is just a distinction we made in our heads --that didn't need to be made at all.

It is the way we justify doing behaviors that we don't accept in ourself--bad side made me do it, whatever. It is what makes us unable to accept all of ourself, our mates, friends, the world.

I "understand" that I can find contrasts in every being, every thing. That's not "our" problem (speaking of humanity). It is seeing the Whole.

So, I see no benefit in seeing what I and most people are already able to see-duality. The practice that's needed is seeing the whole. The "better way"?--stop focusing on the duality. The fact is, we are not dualities. We are all multifaceted, multi-lived, multi-spirited. We are not finite halves.

You have not made a case for me that this is beneficial or helpful. Sorry.

no islewalker

when we want to escape- a subject we avoid- it

when we want to learn+ a subject we embrace+ it

I can see you are clearly opposed to this method and that's ok Ive been expecting opposition .

my goal is to help others understand the basic law of this universe.

you can use this method to answer any question in the universe


what do you have to offer the forum ?
