So-called tangible reality can be pleasant or daunting, but nevertheless, even when it’s tough, you can find a solution – a way to come to grips with it.
What scares me though are the omens. The metaphor – the “double”, i.e. the secret story going on behind and beside our conscious narratives.
One needs an incredible readiness, sensitivity and astuteness to listen, heed, decipher, discern, sort out and take on what is being whispered “around”.
The metaphor can make itself heard in dreams, but more often than not, you need to “seize” the dream being awake…- as what we call “awake” is real, yet it’s another dream…The metaphor cannot be approached logically. It totally baffles and derides Reason. It is often explained away by most humans, but falling short to hear its vague and often contradictory message, can be fatal…
In order to approach and grasp the metaphor requires the rare faculty of thinking and apprehending with the soul and not with the mind – something that no one teaches you in this present society. Woe betide those though who fail to see and heed it, harshly disqualifying it as preposterous and delusional “stuff”.
I have innumerable examples: those who bluntly ignored it ended up in huge torment, trouble, sickness and even death, while those who were actively aware of its presence, thrived, found their true vocations, being able to “outwit” odd and fateful occurrences….
Undoubtedly, the metaphors have repeatedly saved my life…
Without them I wouldn’t have been writing these very words…

What is the root of dualism?
Who created this seemingly insurmountable schism?
I’m wondering. What if there is no difference between (what we call) life and (what we call) death? What if there aren’t two ‘things’? Why don’t we say things like, “This day I set before you birth and life, chose birth.”?
What if it’s not about consequence? Or not even about sequence? [The root of this word takes invented time as a given. I do not.]
Seriously. I don’t want to morph this into a religious inquiry or discussion. But maybe somebody can help me here. Heck, let’s posit THE Creator…and just for the sake of discussion, let’s call it-him-her (capital G) God (it seems like a lot of people do, so I’ll go with that).
From just about everything I’ve EVER heard from the Creator-God People, there was “nothing”…then God spoke. As the direct result of this speaking, the world as we know it came into being. Here’s where I have a problem. If there was nothing, then God made ‘everything’, isn’t everything God? And if not, then from where did the stuff that is not-God come?
– “Thought is psychological Time which keeps us away from the Divine.” — JM
I THINK I understand what you’re saying about thought here. And I think I concur . . . kind of.
How can it be possible to be a part of an Incomprehensible Vastness of Being and be separated from it.
And how is it that WE create anything? Don’t we just twist what already is?
I don’t think it is possible to be kept away from the Divine.
But maybe that’s what I get for thinking.
Thanks. And please set me straight.
Me:
Before I venture to give some kind of answer, I want to make it clear that I am not indulging in vapid and arbitrary speculation, even if what I am going to say may seem nonsensical.
I am only interested in things which bring a real benefit, something with a DIRECT BEARING in real life. Something which sheds some light AS TO WHO WE TRULY ARE in a “meta-historical” perspective. I claim that only this kind of thorough “metaphysical” understanding as to the mechanics of Life, can free us from Illusion.
What is the root of dualism?
Who created this seemingly insurmountable schism?
Let´s take it this way:
Does anything as such ultimately exist? Is this world and our existence in it real?…
What if Creation as we know it in this dimension never took place…- but eventually it´s some kind of will-o´-the-wisp that each of one secretly creates?
Has God the Almighty ever created this world? The baffling answer is No.
Love can not create its opposite. Love has never created duality, nor any schism.
Why should it, after all…?
Once, eons “ago”, as we were all part of the blissful One, one fearful thought occurred within God´s mind:
“What if…?”
What if it all could be `different´ ?
This very thought triggered instantly the beginning of it all. Big Bang – the beginning of Separation. Of light and darkness. Fear and Love. In short – Duality.
So a “difference” can exist only inside the idea of duality, quite obvious. If there was no duality, there wouldn´t be a definite “you” or “me”. There would be no sequence or consequence either. No Creator and not anything “created”.
It´s funny, but there is only God, and what separates us from “him” or “her” IS IN ACTUAL FACT – A THOUGHT.
A thought which we take for real and that we maintain in every second. An insane thought
which dreams itself superior than the Creator, which competes and challenges Him, which in its striking arrogance believes it can create another “more real” REALITY than God´s…:)
Can you see this clearly?…
Look around you. What are people ultimately trying to achieve? A projection of this Initial Thought in every thinkable and unthinkable way:
“I am someone special, I am creating myself, my future, a position – I compete, I struggle hard with anyone for what is “mine” – my family, my kids, my country. Mine, mine, mine.”
This underlying Thought is pure insanity as it is not capable to outwit God, but in order to show its “supremacy” creates exactly what God is not: sickness, aggression, lack, war, chaos, disaster, calamities…- you name it.
This Thought is the so-called Ego. It is Separation. Fear. Guilt. Punishment. Suffering.
Now it´s easily understandable that Ego in its lunacy considers thus failure in all
variations – sickness, loss, crime, suffering, calamity of all kinds -, as his greatest success.
He tries hard to enact what God is not…
Can it be so immensely simple and yet unfathomable?…YES. This is the whole deal.
Now you understand that we are just one Thought away from True Life.
But don´t underestimate this Thought…It kills you if you question its “supremacy”.
It does everything to deny its agenda. This “thought” is what usually goes for Satan.
The Demiurge.
Yet, the truth is that this Ego-thought is nothing but a Cosmic Fraud, an existential misconception, an impotent echo of what God is. It is a no one in the true scheme of eternity.
This Thought of Separation has created Time, Distance, birth and death, “you” and “me”..
In reality there has never been any cleavage, but everything is Joy, Love and
Glory. Life in its mighty bliss – the Light of all lights.
If you manage to see through and let go of this Thought, – which must be said, is a frightening combat, consisting of unimaginable and uncanny trials – The Initial Light will shine in all its Splendor now.
In that light and presence, nothing needs be done, as everything is “done”, because being It you are perfect and complete.
