Greetings once again!
And thanks for stopping by at the bloggery. Today’s blog (said in my best Kermit the Frog) is all about duality.
You see, the world is composed of two different kinds of people: Those that divide the world into two different kinds of people, and those that do not. There you have it. End of story. But then there would have to be a beginning somewhere as well as an end.
There’s no accident that computer code is all binary, that is, it consists of patterns of zeros and ones. 0’s and 1’s. On or off. That’s called digital. It’s also dual. As is night/day, male/female, hard/soft, yin/yang, curved/straight, linear/nonlinear—the list is endless.
There’s also in and out, especially within and without. And that’s also where a great deal of the illusion of Life on Planet Earth resides.
Ancient Kabalistic texts tell a story of creation, where the Supreme Being makes a choice, and pulls it’s energy back and creates two out of the space filled with only one; also called the Big Bang by scientists. But the duality came from making the choice. Everything created after that was necessarily dualistic since it all resulted from that shift. I AM became WE ARE. And of course, since the I AM is always contained within the WE ARE, it’s always the path home.
So back to within and without. LPE (Life on Planet Earth) is getting more and more interesting these days, have you noticed? More people seem to be getting moved around, rearranged & relocated, whether it’s job, relationship, or some other place on the time-space continuum.
The response to those changes is a process we often call growth.
And on top of that many people are experiencing an inward shift, meaning they’re getting more real about interpreting what they’re experiencing. This is also called growth.
Whether you’re having a good time with this or not depends on the choices you make and whether you are willing to see and accept that the outer world is reflecting your inner world. And it’s not a punishment or a reward. It just is.
The illusion is that there is separation between your inner and outer world. There isn’t. None. Zip. Nada. The perception of separation dilutes the ability to perceive the duality of cause and effect. In other words, we don’t often see that it’s our state of being that creates the outer world.
It’s really just a game, the same game the Supreme Being (call him/her whatever) played in creating this duality. So we’re all playing that same game and we make a choice to perceive it one way or another. In fact, the choice to perceive differently is one reason the universe is expanding.
How we choose to perceive it also makes it real or not, placing it somewhere along that continuum. And that highlights it. Vests more energy into it, makes it stand out more in our world of individualized perception. We place our attention on it and it becomes more.
It’s a great skill and sometimes a neat trick to be able to experience LPE and take the good out of what appears to be bad. It’s not about it being a silver lining so much as it is about how you choose to orient your consciousness in that moment. And why not – after all, we created this game, didn’t we?
So let’s see now… we’re playing the same game as God, and the universe is being created because of it. You don’t suppose that means something, do you?
