THE DUALITY OF EXISTENCE
There is Existence.
There is Non-Existence.
Existence Exists.
Non-Existence Exists.
Existence is therefore, Duality.
Duality is relationship between opposites.
Duality is the relationship between Existence and Non-Existence.
Duality is the relationship between Reality and Non-Reality.
There is Reality.
There is Non-Reality.
Reality and Non-Reality are also Duality.
Existence Exists as Reality.
Non-Existence Exists as Non-Reality.
Reality is made up of Self and Other-Than-Self.
Non-Reality is Self without Other.
Other being removed by Self.
There is Consciousness.
Consciousness Exists.
Consciousness Exists in the Duality of Consciousness.
Consciousness in Duality extends to the Duality of Creation.
The Duality of Creation Creates the Duality of Humanity.
In the Duality of Consciousness there is the Collective Consciousness
and there is the Collective Unconsciousness.
In Duality, Consciousness Exists Collectively and Individually meaning that Consciousness
Chooses Collectively and Individually.
In Choosing, Individual Consciousness is able to override the Collective.
There is Awareness
Consciousness is Awareness.
To be Conscious is to be Aware.
Consciousness Existing in Duality is Duality Aware of Duality,
meaning that Consciousness is Aware of the Duality of Choice through Observation or
through Perception.
As the Nature of Consciousness is Duality, as is the Nature of Existence, itself,
Consciousness has within itself, that which IS and that which IS NOT.
-----that which IS NOT is the Non-Reality of 'Nothingness'.
Consciousness Exists in the Reality of its BEING and in the Non-Reality of its Non-Being.
It is the Existence of Nothingness that enables Consciousness to Create an Existence of Non-Being.
Consciousness is able to Create an existence outside of Reality and is able to Non-Exist
in that Non-Existence.
Consciousness has the option of Existing in Reality or in Non-Reality
Therefore, as Consciousness, Humanity has the option of Existing in the Reality of Existence or in
the Non-Reality of Non-Existence.
This Existence outside of Reality, consequently Exists as the Opposite of Reality.
As Reality IS,
Non-Reality IS NOT.
Non-Reality Exists in a state of Dreaming.
Non-Reality is the DREAM of Becoming Reality,
but 'BECOMING' is not Existing in the NOW of Reality.
'Becoming' suggests the impossibility of ever attaining the Dream.
The Dream of 'Becoming' always remains just a Dream.
The frustration of unfulfilled Dreams helps define Creation and helps define Humanity itself.
Basic Emotions such as Fear, Frustration, and Anger arise at '1st Cause'.
At 1st Cause, Consciousness and consequently Humanity, are Aware.
Consciousness/Humanity is Aware of Self and of Other-Than-Self.
Consciousness is Aware that Reality is Self and Other-Than-Self.
As Consciousness is Aware, Consciousness Compares.
Consciousness Compares Self to Other-Than-Self through Observation or through Perception.
The Choice is to Observe 'Other' as 'Other' IS or to Perceive 'Other' through the Self, as Self
determines 'Other' as 'Other' Should Be according to the needs of the Self.
The Choice determines that Other is not as Other Is but as Self Dreams Other to 'Become',
in Self's Dream Existence.
Consciousness is Aware that without Other, Self does not Exist in Reality.
Consciousness is Aware that without Other, the Self of Humanity does not Exist in Reality.
Consciousness is Aware.
To be Conscious, is to be Aware.
In Reality, Consciousness is Aware of Self;
- that Self Exists,
that Self Exists in the Singularity of Self as Self
And that, in Reality, Consciousness is Aware of Other;
- that Other Exists,
that Other Exists in the Singularity of Other as Other.
In Non-Reality, Self is Aware of Other only through the Perception of the Self,
so that Other as Other cannot Exist.
This Choice has no effect on Reality being the Existence of Self and Other.
Basically, in Non-Reality, Self removes Other.
In Creation, Self cannot accept Other as Other and struggles to remove all Other and Otherness.
However, Self cannot remove Duality, as Duality is a condition of Existence.
When Self removes Other, Self Divides it-Self.
In Non-Reality, then, and due to the Duality of Existence,
Other Exists as 'Other-of-Self, meaning Self Divides it-Self, into Self-of Self and Other-of-Self.
Duality occurs in the Self.
The Self is Duality.
We, of Creation, are Duality.
We have Created many layers and levels of Pseudo-Existences and attempt to Exist (or Non-Exist)
in them all.
The Self's Existence in Duality causes Conflict between its Selves,
( the Self-of-Self and the Other-of-Self), thereby threatening the Survival of Self.
Self eventually Divides it-Self down to loss of Identity and then to 'Nothingness'.
Self, as Creation eventually loses definition and fades into 'Nothingness'.
Self, Fearing Obliteration, meaning loss of Identity, Frantically Dreams struggling to Survive.
Here we witness the ugly downside of the Self of Humanity.
We, of Humanity, Perceive Power as the Essence of Survival. Survival meaning Immortality.
Survival becomes the goal of Existence.
Humanity Perceives Other and Otherness as the cause of its threatening Mortality.
It seems that we feel that the more Power we can amass, the more we avoid Mortality.
Our lives therefore become struggles for Power. We Compete for Power and Power is why we Compete.
We Compete with Other, that Other's Power Becomes our own.
Power needs Weakness to Exist, therefore Power Creates weakness by Creating something 'Other' than it-Self to sacrifice.
As in Competition, a winner takes Essence from an Other--- the Loser,
with which to Empower it-Self. Essence meaning Life-Force.
We, each of us is a Cell, each of us is a Self of Humanity, Perceives Other-Than-Self as a threat to our survival.
It is this Threat that must be removed.
Striving to remove all that is Other, we Divide ourselves down until we lose our Identity.
Without Identity we fade into the Nothingness of Oblivion,
thus continuing the Duality of Existence through Division.
In Humanity this Duality begins in the Self, then Becomes evident in the Duality of Male and Female
and all the Other Divisions that make up our lives in this Created World, Universe, Cosmos.
The Duality continues, breaking down into the myriad Dualities of Humanity.
In Reality, Self is Aware of Other as Other, that is, as Other IS, and not as affected by Self
through Self's Perception.
True Awareness can therefore Exist only in the Reality of Existence.
Awareness in Creation is limited to the Perceptions of what the Self will Allow,
of what the Self needs, or of what the Self Desires.
It is therefore impossible for the Self of Creation to Know 'What IS',
to Know what 'Really Exists', to Know TRUTH.
This Self Knows only what feeds its Perceptions of Other and its own Self.
There is Choice.
Consciousness is Aware that because of the Duality of Existence, there is Choice.
Consciousness determines Existence through Choice.
Because Consciousness is Duality, Consciousness Chooses.
Consciousness Chooses Existence or Non-Existence.
Consciousness Chooses Existence in the Reality of Existence or in the Non-Reality of Existence.
Consciousness Chooses TO BE in Reality.
Consciousness Chooses TO BECOME in Non-Reality.
Existing in a state of Becoming cancels out Abiding in the NOW of Reality.
Only Reality Abides.
Reality is the NOW-----No Past, No Future.
Past and Future are elements of Time.
Time is an Element of Creation along with Place and Matter.
Time, Place, and Matter, do not Exist in the Reality of Existence.
Creation Exists in Time. Time is organized in Layers and Levels.
Creation is not about the NOW. Creation is about BECOMING.
There is Collective Choice.
There is Individual Choice
Consciousness Chooses Collectively and Individually.
Humanity, as Consciousness, Chooses Collectively and Individually
The Individual Choice over the Collective Choice separates the Individual from the Collective.
In Choosing Individually, the Self Emerges from the Collective.
The Emerging Individual feels alienated from the Collective and Collective Choices.
Yet here is where the Choice determines Existence from Non-Existence,
Reality from Non-Reality.
We Choose to Exist in the Reality of Existence or to Exist in the Dream of a Pseudo
or Created Non-Reality.
Observation of our present worldly Existence indicates that the far and above Choice of Humanity
is for Existence in a Pseudo, Created, Non-Reality.
Observation also indicates that there is very limited Individual Choice.
It seems to be just so much easier to fall in with the Choice of the Collective.
It is no wonder we are so fragmented, frantic, and frightened; seeming to have
no Idea of Who We Are or to What is Our Purpose.
Consciousness is Aware of Existence in the Duality of Reality and Non-Reality.
Consciousness is Aware of Self and Other.
Consciousness therefore Chooses Existence in Reality or in Non-Reality.
Self and Other make up Reality.
There is Nothing else that can Exist but Self and Other-Than-Self.
Consciousness Chooses Non-Reality over Reality to block out the 'Other'.
Due to Duality, Other becomes Image Created out of the Self.
As Reality is Self and Other, the removal of Other also removes Reality.
Reality does not Exist when Self as Self or Other as Other do not Exist.
What was Real can now only Exist in Non-Reality as the Image of Reality.
In a sense, Non-Reality is the Mirror-Image of Reality.
Mirror Image is a very Distorted and Inverted Opposite of the Reality.
Consciousness Choosing Reality Abides in the Reality of Self and Other.
Choosing Reality, the Self of Consciousness is Observed as Self by that which is Other.
Self can BE Self only when Observed as Self by 'That Which Is Other'.
As Reality IS Self AND Other,
the Choice to eliminate Other removes the Self from Reality.
In so Choosing, Reality can no longer Exist so the Self must Create a new Existence.
As Nothing Exists besides Self and Other, the new Existence can only come out of what Exists,
and that is out of Reality.
Creation is the result of Imaging Reality.
The Image of Reality is the Opposite of Reality. Reality Exists. The Image only reflects the Reality.
So Reality Non-Exists in its Image.
Non-Reality, the Image of Reality Exists in Dreams, thoughts or Ideas of Becoming 'What It Is Not.'
Creation comes about with projection of the Dream, the though, the idea.
A thought. an idea, a dream, is projected onto a Created Space.
Thus Image Exists in an altered, a pseudo-Existence, unaware of Reality,
unaware of the Truth of Reality.
Reality's Opposite is Creation.
Creation is Image of Reality-----Dreamed into Existence.
\Creation Exists in the Dream of the Collected and Uncollected Consciousness.
Consciousness Dreams. The Dream is projected onto a Surface Created by Consciousness.
When Existence/Reality is Projected, it Creates its own Non-Existence/Non-Reality,
it Creates the Image of the Reality.
Creation is the Distorted and Inverted Opposite of Reality. It is Image!
Image has no IDENTITY.
The Image is Projected by Consciousness onto a Created space---a Created Space as in: World, Universe, Cosmos, and into Created Time-----days, weeks, years, millenniums; all layers and levels that organize the Chaos.
Self of Non-Reality is Aware of Other-Than-Itself. and is threatened by Self, as Self is Aware of it-self as a piece or a part of a potential Whole that strives as it may, will never achieve the Identity of Immortality.
The Self of Image, the Self of Non-Reality will never be Immortal!
Self in Awareness of Other is Aware that Other is not made up of parts and pieces of an improvable Whole. The Self is Aware that Other Exists in the Reality of Entity.
Entity cannot be separated or obliviated or broken down!
Entity is Identified by Immortality!
The Other-Than-Self of Reality Exists as Entity in Immortality
while the Self of Non-Reality experiences Mortality because it cannot Become Entity, it cannot Identify as Entity, but remains a Collection of Parts and Pieces that succumbs to its own loss of identity and fades into the Nothingness of Non-Existence.
Consciousness Dreams out of its Awareness.
The Self of Non-Reality Dreams of Immortality
Fearing Power in Other and Otherness,
Self seeks to Overcome what Self Perceives as Enemy.
What threatens Power is Perceived by Self as threatening to Self's Existence.
Dreams are expressed in Image.
Consciousness Dreams, Consciousness Images.
The Dreams of Consciousness are Collected into Common Images
Image is projected onto a surface which must be Created,
to Exist in Image of a Reality.
The Image however, is the inverted and distorted Opposite of its Reality.
Image is Created through the Perceptions of Consciousness.
Consciousness Perceives Reality, not as Reality IS, but through the Self as Self
Dreams Reality should be
Consciousness Perceiving is Consciousness replacing a Reality into its own Idea or Dream
In other words, Self IMAGES Reality.
Self Projects the Image.
Projecting Image is Creating
The Self of Consciousness is Creator of all that Exists as Creation.
The Self of Humanity is Creator of all that Exists.
A Whole is a Dream of broken and shattered Parts and Pieces Struggling for Identity.
Without Identity, Parts and Pieces are just Parts and Pieces, just Images.
An Image is a Whole that cannot come together in Wholeness because the Parts and Pieces
cannot sustain.
Each Piece, each Part, is a Cell of the Whole.
Trying to sustain, Image just keeps breaking down, Image keeps Dividing.
In Duality, Self Divides Self into many parts and pieces,
all cells of the Whole, the Whole that cannot stop Dividing and maintain Wholeness
This means that not just one Self Projects the Image but myriad Cells Project the same Image
that then is able to be Perceived by the Collective as a common, collected, pseudo-Reality.
This allows Creation to have a commonality, familiar to all in the Collective.
In other words, the Collective, collectively Creates through shared Vision of Perceived reality.
The Self that Chooses to Create its own Perceived Existence is Image that has Chosen
to not Exist in the Reality of Existence.
This Self is the Self of Humanity that as the Whole of Humanity cannot stop Dividing
and maintain its Wholeness.
The Collective Self of Humanity Creates its own Perceived Existence in the Image it has designed
to Exist in, called earth, or Galaxy, or Cosmos, or even Heaven.
The Collective Consciousness has Collective Vision that Images a Collective Creation.
There is the Self of Existence in Reality.
There is the Self that Exists as Image of 'not What it Is' but of 'what it could Become'.
This is the Self that Exists only within its own Dream of reality
Consciousness Reacts to its Perception..
Consciousness Dreams.
The Dream forms Image. The Image Projects
Creation appears:
World appears.
Galaxies Appear.
Cosmos Appear.........to the Collected Consciousness,
whose Collected and Projected Dreams cause a Collective Image.
Creation, as Image, Exists in Non-Reality.
There is no Image in Reality as Image is the Opposite of what is Real.
There are Parts and Pieces,
but all these Parts and Pieces will never again be the Whole from where they broke off.
Consciousness in Creation is Aware of the Entity of Reality.
Consciousness Dreams of that Entity for Creation but knows it can never BECOME
that "Which it is Not'.
The Consciousness of Creation Chose to Divide away from Reality because Other is Essential
to Reality and Exists in Creation only as a Part or a Piece.
A Part or a Piece belongs to a Whole-----a Whole that cannot hold together its Parts and Pieces.
This Whole that cannot hold back the Process of Division that marks Creation, knows that, in Time,
the Parts and Pieces ,becoming smaller and smaller, will loose Identity and fade into Oblivion.
This Dividing Creation longs for what it forfeited.
By not accepting the Other of Reality, the Self, Choosing to 'go it alone', Created an alternative Existence that could only Dream of what it has betrayed;
Self was no more Self because Other
no longer Existed.
In this new Pseudo-Existence there was no Entity.
Birth Existed to Create Death.
There was no Entity, so there was no Immortality!!
Consciousness Choosing Existence in Reality is the Self of Consciousness Abiding in the
Observation, Witness, and Validation, of the Self by the Other-Than-Self.
In Reality, Self's Identity as Self comes from Observation by That Which is Other.
In the Witness of Self by Other, Self claims Identity as Entity.
Self Validates Self as Self of Immortality through Validation by Other.
Through Other, Self recognizes Self as Self.
Through Other, Self Validates Self as Self,
able to accept Identity from it-Self.
Identity of Self as Self in Selfness occurs from the Observation of Other.
In this Observation, Witness, and Validation of Self by that which is Other,
Self, Aware of Self as Self in Selfness, thus Exists in total Entity of BEING..
The Self of Reality Exists in the the Reality of Entity.
The Self of Reality Exists in the Entity of Immortality.
When we Divide, we who inhabit the new Pseudo-Reality, lose a Part of our-self,
as our Other must now be Divided from our Self.
In fact, this Part often becomes the Enemy, (as it is meant to be.)
The loss is great and becomes greater as Time relentlessly continues the Division,
for, after all, we Exist in the Duality of Existence.
Consciousness Choosing Existence in Non-Reality is Consciousness Creating.
In Creating, Consciousness blocks Other-Than-Self.
When Other is blocked there is no Observation, Witness, or Validation.
Self never comes into Reality.
Self therefore cannot obtain Selfness. Self therefore lacks Identity.
Even Self does not Know Self. because an Unobservable Self cannot Exist.
Without Identity, Self Exists in Nothingness.
Existence in Creation is Existence in Non-Reality.
What Exists in Non-Reality does not Exist in Reality.
Consciousness Choosing Non-Reality is Consciousness denying Reality.
Reality is replaced by Non-Reality when Consciousness denies the Existence of Other
Self blocks Other out of Existence through Choice, yet the Duality remains.
The Self of Consciousness cannot block Duality,
because the Relationship of Existence/Non-Existence Exists
and manifests in Existence and Non-Existence.
If Self blocks Other, Other is blocked in Self's Created Pseudo-Reality,
Even if Other is blocked, Self in undeniable Duality, will Divide it-Self down into the
Duality of Self-of-Self and Other-of-Self.
When Other is Eliminated, Reality does not Exist.
Only Nothingness remains.
When Self blocks Other, Self Divides Self, over and over again,
unable to escape the Primal State of Duality.
Thus Duality Exists through the Process of Division.
Throughout Creation, Division, as is Duality, is unescapable.
Creation Exists in the Duality of Existence.
Creation came about through Division.
Creation will end through Division.
Creation is defined by Division.
Creation is a Process of Division.
.
Consciousness Chooses.
Consciousness Chooses to Abide in the Reality of Existence or Consciousness Chooses to
Create its own Existence, its own Pseudo-Existence.
Self Abiding is Self Existing WITH Other-Than-Self in the Reality of Existence.
Self Creating is Self Existing within the boundaries of its own Existence.
This Creating Existence Exists through Division,
always maintaining the Duality through the Division of the Self.
Consciousness Chooses Collectively and can Choose Individually.
Individual Choice overrides Collective but puts the Individual at Odds with the Collective,
again, ruled by Duality
In the Awareness of Duality, and Because of Duality, Consciousness Vacillates.
The act of Choosing is Movement.
Movement Vacillates.
Consciousness Vacillating, is Consciousness Choosing because Consciousness, although Aware
of Duality, cannot Exist in Reality and in Non-Reality,
and so must Choose between the two states of Existence.
Consciousness will Choose, either To BE or To BECOME.
Consciousness either IS or IS NOT.
Consciousness will Choose Existence or Non-Existence.
thereby Choosing Reality or Non-Reality.
Consciousness in Action of Choosing, moves, or better yet, Vibrates.
It is this Vibration that sets off Creation.
Consciousness Chooses Collectively but can also Choose Individually through Cells
that Collectively make up the Whole
The Collective Consciousness is therefore a Whole made up of Individual Cells.
In other words, the Collective Consciousness is a sum total of parts and pieces of itself.
What Exists in Parts and Pieces strives for Wholeness, Dreams of Wholeness, yet Exists, through the state of Duality, in a Process of Division.
Humanity also Exists in Parts and Pieces, in cells, that strives for Wholeness and
even Dreams of Wholeness.
Yet Humanity Non-Exists in a state of Duality, caught up in the Process of Division that makes
and marks Creation.
We seek Wholeness through Division.
We Divide because we seek Wholeness through Identity that is based on Self seeking Immortality
through Division.
We strive to Empower ourselves by Creating an 'Otherness' we can sacrifice to Empower the Self
There is no source of Power for Self if not through what is Other.
Creation itself Exists as a Process of Division.
This Process of Division Begins and Ends.
This Process of Life and Death begins only to breakdown, through
Created Time, to Nothingness.
Both science and religion are Aware that Creation is Finite
Both science and religion make references to the Beginning and Ending of Creation.
The loss of Identity is the primal step in the Life to Death Process.
Loss of Identity is a sense of Nothingness.
What loses Identity loses form and fades out of Existence.
What Ends in Nothingness Exists in Non-Existence, meaning it never Existed in Reality.
There is Competition.
There is Aggression.
There is Brutality.
There are lies, many lies.
-----all just aspects of the Duality that defines Existence.
In our world, Competition best encompasses these qualities.
Brutality and Aggression come out of Competition.
Competition sets a Self against an 'Other-Than-Self'.
Competition comes out of Fear of Loss of Identity.
Loss of Identity is loss of Perceived Right to Immortality.
It all comes down to Who has the Right to Immortality.
And it is somehow Perceived that Immortality depends on Identity, and it does!
We Humans have actually convinced ourselves that 'Who We Are' determines what claim
we put on the 'Right to Life'.
Why is there such Division?
Why are We so Divided?
Why is there a 'pro' to every 'con' and a 'con' to every 'pro'?
Why can't we find areas of agreement?
Why can't we understand that Reality is Self AND Other,
that Self Exists because of the Observation of Self by Other-Than-Self,
that Observation of Self as Self by 'Other-Than-Self' determines Self in Entity,
that Self in Entity of Self is the Self of Immortality.
