Opposites and words go together. In the acuality of life, there are no opposites, there is just what is, totally unified and complete. Perfect as it is. Just relax and here it is.

Larry Epston Duality is inherent in the identification process of the mind. Perceptions are identified by their characteristics. The characteristics are based on a relative comparison. Hot is identified as 'not cold'. Dark is identified as 'not light'. But it's the memory of the experience of 'cold' that is used to identify. Words are just the labels we assign to those experiences.

L.E: Duality is only inherent in the verbal aspect of the mind which is only a part. There is also the visual which has no opposites, and memory itself is just whatever part of experience is recorded and has no opposites. All you said is true, but only for the verbal part of our mind or experience. The ego, you, the self, as it self-talks and uses language expresses itself, yourself, using opposites, the function of words. Beyond words there are no opposites, only reality itself which includes everything. Larry Epston > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
