Here I began once again regarding something that has been nagging on my mind recently everday on my spiritual journey to be awakened to enlightenment, the question of duality? Dualism.
The defining term of dualism “denotes a state of two parts.”
My thoughts, ideas, or beliefs on the matter will follow my logical reasoning with some emphasis on certain faiths views on duality.
Let me begin with ancient Egypt, the pharoah Osiris wore ostrich plumes on each side of his crown representing dualism. Dualistic Gods, Osiris (life, order) and Seth (death, disorder).
Christian and Islamic faiths, believe in God (good); Satan (evil); Heaven and Hell; etc.
Interesting enough I just commented on Paulo Coelho’s blog; and revealed the answer I have been waiting:
Hi Paulo,
The first thing that came to my mind was dualism…yin-yang; death-life; give-take; good-evil; female-male; devil-god etc. Im currently researching and writing on the understanding of such, dualism vs. non-dualism…
As such if you were to completely spiritually enlightened one must confirm non-dualistic nature, all in one no parts exists; no opposites; everything is one.
I have been racking my brain on this thru my writing in my first novel, and beginning the second; I believe as you said you must allow energy to flow; you must give and receive; opposites, (dualistic nature). If we did not have opposite forces how would this world balance.
This is very trying for me…to understand non-dualistic nature; the only resolution in my mind; with dualistic nature is to become one with all, no opposites; non-dualism; I can only imagine and understand such that all is within the precious “circle” that represent all..continuing, never-beginning; never-ending; providing the two separates into one; as you said ever flowing energy that should be free to flow.
I believe I just answered my understanding; the never ending circle but with dualistic nature; halving it within; forming the balance of energies; but the flow remains free on the outside; the circumference. Hence now I see; the yin-yang, the Tao and of course the totality of the infinity sign.
Im laughing all bc of your vampire symbolic give and take; I answered my dualism vs non-dualism answer.
I owe you much gratitude.
Sincerely, Candice
