Considerations Eight …
Duality …
Irritation Factor … high to extreme
- - o-0-O-O-0-o - -
It is not my intention to just come here and post contradictions to a lot of the posts on this board. My intention here is to try and portray the best I can … an overview … a looking down at the puzzle from a more broad, comprehensive perspective … gained from actual personal experience … and at the same time knowing that these perspectives are many times incredibly difficult to consider … simply because they are *not* what is widely and favorably taught … and the current teachings have been around for a long, long time … developed through a logically perceived continuous manner to appeal to the human condition.
Since the time of the first human stepping onto this planet … and up through the ages … man has been plagued with a mind running wild. The mind can endlessly spin all on its own … all by itself. The chief facet feeding the mind are the eyes. The mind was given to Soul so that It could analyze and compare what was going on around it in the daily life of the individual here in the psychic worlds. When an individual sees something and has a reaction to it … or later relives the incident and has mental reactions to it … the mind can continue to just jabber endlessly. We’ve all been through this … and many continue to do so.
Not only was a respite from the daily hardships highly sought after by the human animal … but there was also a massive desire for the mind to just shut up … even for a few moments.
( Don’t worry … I’ll get to duality. )
So the religions and philosophers slowly constructed some lofty goals for the religious teachings themselves. One … to stop the mind … and two … the end goal of all is to return to God and just float endlessly without responsibility or adversity. Just float about without thought in the arms of God … and forget all … for eternity. Total and perpetual R&R. Complete relief and absolving all.
My point being … that the meaning of duality was hijacked to mean separation from God … since many of the religions teach that unity with God is the end goal.
That is *not* the case … and I am going to clearly state here … that this does *not* make these religions wrong … no more than a high school sophomore is “wrong” in the educational progression from kindergarten to college graduate … or whatever terms are used in your personal locale. People have taken to these eastern religions because they are a “next step” in their own sequence … providing a much deeper discovery of karma, reincarnation, and the various psychic energies than the previous religions and philosophies. One builds upon the next. On it goes.
People also recognize the teachings of the eastern religions because we have all had *many* lifetimes in them … and they are familiar. That often brings comfort.
Duality is not separation. No one can actually separate themselves from God. Everything is theoretically a part of God … and technically speaking … that is also true … to an extent. Regardless … nothing can be separated from LIFE. Perception of separation is just that … perception. The Core Creator God ( generic term ) did not create Soul to eventually come back to IT and become one with IT and then surrender all experience to God and just … become a floating entity without responsibility to its own stance within LIFE as the Whole that IT is. God did not create Soul to discover all of this through experience … and then get to the point where you unplug and float. Even to mind … that does not make sense … but one cannot dismiss the incredible desire for endless R&R … a cessation to the turmoil and struggle … and the endless mental chatter. Without doubt … there is the extreme desire to find total respite from the perpetual hassles of daily life … and union with God would fill that bill perfectly.
That’s just not the way it turns out to be.
And to find an end goal in stopping the mind brings some relief … but it is only a step in the overall progression. One does not step beyond mind by simply stopping the thought process … no more than one automatically steps out of a car if s/he simply allows the car to slow to a halt.
When one returns from the deep trance state where mind has slowed to a stop … all the mental beliefs are still “there” within the individual. It is these beliefs (etc) that must be controlled and revised … although I will say … the slowing and stopping of the mind is a technique we all learn … eventually. It is a necessary step.
So … what is duality? And why does it pertain only to the psychic worlds … of which Earth is a part?
In a nutshell … duality is polarity. Duality is … that something exists only in relation to its opposite. There is no low without a high … there is no fast without a slow … there is no valley without a mountain … there is no male without female … there is no young without old … etc. x however long you wish to carry that out. Everything in these psychic worlds has its opposite … somewhere. Everything has its dual nature … in relation to its opposite.
The basic premise … in these worlds … there is a positive and a negative element to the atom … and this allows for an interaction for manifestation … from thought right down to the physical vehicle.
And as difficult as it may seem … there is no negative element or an “energy atom” in the Pure God Worlds. The formation of those worlds … for lack of better words … is not geared out of “energy” as we know it.
If someone wishes to continue to banter about the ideal of separation / non-separation … as becoming wholly one with the experience … that certainly can continue to the extent that one can encounter and experience it. An individual will certainly become more adept at this … but there is never a total immersion into a level of consciousness where one actually does lose oneself in the Core Creator God … and lose the individuality ( not separateness ) (not part ) that was given to each at the moment of the creation of each individual Soul.
The religions and philosophies are marvelous arenas of learning. What can be learned with any of them … is seemingly endless. There are lessons within each that *must* be learned because many Souls will eventually reach the “end” of the Path … so to speak … traveling into and becoming wholly acquainted with the Pure God Worlds (another generic term) … and will return to the lower worlds to assist. One needs to be completely familiar with the ongoings here in order to stay on top of it all … even after the “end” has been attained. Though it is rare … it is entirely possible for one who has indeed attained the “end” … to slip and forget when coming back into these worlds to assist … and to get trapped in it all over again. It takes ongoing work to stay out of the traps and the pitfalls.
Such is the nature of the lower psychic worlds.
Please try not to belittle, condemn, or dismiss any of religions or philosophies just because there is “something beyond them” or there is “another level” above them.
I have one more possible irritation topic to discuss and then I will ease back a bit.
More later.
