So, what do you think of duality? I don't think it exists, but my thinking it doesn't exists vs. your thinking it does would be duality right??? Not so... And I will tell you why (I am pretending to know something when in actuality, I am just curious how this blog will come out)
So, if duality truly exists, than we are living in a world full of yes and no; up and down; in and out; dark and light; negative and positive; right and wrong; me and you... And that isn't my reality... I live in a world of wholeness, Oneness, Unity, Bliss, Love... and in that world, there is no duality, only 'what is'.
What if my world and "that other world" I mentioned above were to coincide... Who would be right? Me or someone who believes in duality.... the answer is a resounding, BOTH OF US! Really! If you are living in duality, and I am living in Oneness, than the only difference between us is our perspectives.
And in my perceived world of Oneness, just now (not kidding, in this very moment), my 3 year old nephew, Tage walked in the room and said, "mom, something happened to me... I used to not be afraid, and now I am afraid." Stasia said, "what are you afraid of?" Tage said, "dark". Stasia started talking to him about how, "light and dark are exactly the same, sometimes it's just a little easier to see when the light is on. But the room has the same stuff in it whether it is light or dark..."
So, this is how the world around me is experienced when I decide to live in Oneness and Bliss... I wonder what tomorrow will bring to remind me of how we are all connected.... I am so very excited to see!!! :) In the meantime, I will be with the Bliss that is happening around me... Like the dog walking around, or my nephew going to bed, or my Beloved reading his emails next to me, or just sitting here writing this Blog.....
When I was in grad school, circa 1989, I read a play by Luigi Pirandello that completely changed my perspective on how I think about what is right, what is wrong, and learning to agree to disagree. The title translates as "Right you Are if You Think You Are," or "It is So If You Think It's So." In the play, a strange woman moves into a small town, and there is much speculation as to who she is and why she behaves the way she does. There are several factions, all believing that they are right. So how does the play end? The reader is never told the actual circumstances of the woman's life, because that's not the point of the play. The conclusion is that all these opinions, different as they may be, are the truth. Because they are thoroughly believed to be true by the persons believing them. So the moral of the story is that if you truly believe something, it is your truth. And if someone else has the exact opposite truth, it doesn't reduce the validity of your own truth. Hmmm. Less than two hours reading a play, and it still has a profound impact on me two decades later. Cool.
