Are there opposites or is it an illusion? Much like Einstein’s famous thought experiment about being in an accelerating elevator vs being at rest in a gravitational field. Maybe there is only one thing, one place, and it vibrates or momentarily quantum splits a roughly infinite number of times to appear as reality. Maybe it is (just?) all God, or if you prefer, truth or velveeta. Wouldn’t they all have to be the same, not that there would be any difference between logic or illogic, either could collapse back into velveeta at any moment and all moments? A circle not a line. Always circles and really circles in motion that vibrate and change colors and scents and densities and surface porosities, and you-get-the-idea.
Why do we fear losing and dream of winning? Are they not really two different paths, two ways of looking at the same thing? Maybe we could fear loss less and be just as happy and successful and compassionate. Really realizing that there is no winning or losing is likely a more fruitful endeavor.
Is there birth? What about death? Do either really make sense? I attended my grandmother’s funeral a decade plus ago, heck I even touched her cold hard dead hand. But I still talk with her, she still loves me. I am filled with her right now. Where or what was she before we collectively decided to consider her born? Was that any different than where or what she is now?
What if we work hard on interacting with pain differently? Maybe that would be more powerful than opioids? I know that when I put my foot into a hot bath and it is actually too hot, for a moment I am just confused, is it really hot or really cold or am I just really not present? I know that the things that have caused me mental pain for decades melt away at times when I bring compassion and presence to them rather than resistance and denials and other seemingly useful tools.
Are dark and light just different amounts or qualities of the same thing? Or are there multiple darks and multiple lights, like harmonics of this fundamental “color particle”? Symmetry is real and really important. I believe in symmetry more than nearly any other thing, it keeps revealing itself again and again under and around every corner I look. But then again, I’ve read that humans are designed to see patterns. Maybe we are designed to see reality even if it is not really there….to see duality as if it were real. Quantum particles seem to come in two flavors, plus ½ spin and minus ½ spin, if I remember correctly, whatever spin really is. I’ve never read a convincing description of spin. Sasquatches seem more plausible really. But there is also no spin, as in a vacuum. There could possibly be infinite spin, as in the pre-big bang universe or in God. Do things come in pairs, triplets, quadruplets, or is there actually nothing or maybe just one thing. Maybe it is all Velveeta?
