And Julie, it is even better than that. If you like metaphors - and you seem

to - if they help you understand and gain insight... the following metaphor

might even better.

 

We do not live in a "sorto' clumsy" three dimensional world where two

dimensions "kindo' work out" and one dimension is just as thick as the

thickness of a coin...

 

In reality, we do not live in a world where we see things broken down and

compressed into polarities, opposites, dualities and absolutes even if they

appear as two-sides of single coins.

 

We may not experience it anymore, but we do actually live in a

multidimensional world where proverbial coins are at least spheres, integral

miraculous objects, filled out with wondrous energetic power.

 

Are there two sides to a sphere? Is it not more dynamic than that? Are those

two observed sides not just dependent on our relative position, a position

too often static and one-sided instead of following the curves and whirls of

a love making dance?

>From a sphere's point of view everything surrounds it, everything comes

towards it and everything flows away from it.

>From its point of view, there is not even just linear time as even the in

and outflows are concurrent, as even the dimensional directions take place

within itself at the same time in the same place.

 

Only onlookers, who have been diminished in their ability to see their own

wholeness, prevented from the experience of self fully, see a sphere from

various and limiting sides.

 

That wonderful yin yang symbol originally was an attempt by its inventor to

project, depict and convey multidimensional wholeness onto a two-dimensional

plane...

 

Imagine it to be the depiction of one dynamic evolving, devolving,

involving, revolving sphere-like entity that, because of linear time may

just appear like two black-white things with white-black centers.

 

Imagine that 'yin yang' to be multidimensional in space as well as time.

 

One time I was allowed to experience and remember that integral divine

wholeness in a special way, as IT devoluted itself down into lesser and

lesser dimensional representations. And what did I observe?

 

Have you ever seen the Tibetan representation of a 'yin yang' type of symbol

but with three lobes... or even four...? (Even the swastika is related to

that.)

 

I was allowed to undergo that experience from the one to the many and the

many to the one...

>From the one to the two,

to trinity

from three to four

to five to six and seven,

eight, nine, ten and eleven...

and it did not stop until all individuations where seen as emanating from

and creations of the one...

Then the reverse... form the many to the one.

Ah the human divine life, the miracle of miracles

 

Duality or even the discussion of nonduality is so limiting and time

consuming. The argument in itself is all too often the reason for not going

beyond or the excuse for not being able to.

 

Look at my web page:

It is just an attempt, a beginning...

(My dear Dan Winter, are you still there, ready to work again...?)

 

Love, Wim
