Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Dualism is a mentalized mix of assumptions that is not based on factual, actual relativistic reality (Einstein's relativity). Dualism or the absolute belief in opposites is a mentally conceptualized, albeit deeply engrained idea only in the human mind, but although deeply engrained, it still is a concept that is in conflict with factual functional reality. Dualist thinking comes from undue deep suffering and leads to more undue deep suffering. When we compare reality (a multidemensional web of inward and outward relative distinctions) to illusion (its characteristics listed in a conceptual table of absolute opposites) we can see, inspired by Buddhism and Advaita or Non-dualism, that: * The positive is reality, consisting of actual functional dynamic relatings in freedom, * Negativity (being less than zero) is only seemingly real and actual, consisting of non functional attempts to impede relatings. Negativity is the illusion of bondage to debt and dependence, made to look as though more real than factual functional reality itself. Bondage to the negativity of debt and subserviant dependencies is: * desiring what one is seemingly short off, * seemingly taking away from people's wholeness through the application of fear and threats. Bondage to negativity or debt (SIN in Sanskrit, which means not being 'N' that one is 'SI') comes from and leads to the appearance of human suffering. To be under the power of threat and fear is to be in a state of paranoia, illusion or deep suffering... the way the Buddha put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
