I am glad that someone who spends as much time as you do working on self-exploration still stumbles and questions themselves. I am comforted knowing I am not the only one who has self-doubts. Positive affirmations seem to work for me as I am sure you already know.

Keep up the brilliant writing Doug. I am sure your readers and followers would agree we always walk away with a nugget we can use or ponder after reading your works.

Ohh No you don’t…we need to know what you come up with. Just in case you keep it to yourself I’ll put this link here so people can find you – http://www.clareultimo.com I find one of the really hard parts of this topic is the language aspect. Our language is inadequate. Also the part of us that ponders this isn’t the part equipped to resolve it.

I think the basic duality issue, which we live with it seems, is that the Divine Consciousness cannot observe ITSELF, thus it seems to function as a “split” so observation and the “little” mind can work. You may already know that the Buddhists call this the “guest” and “host” position. The Divine is the host of course, and our conscious mind is the “guest”. Duality. And yes, the point would be to merge the “two” or transcend them both. This would be “enlightenment” and I’m sure many have felt this too at various times.

But I think this same notion of duality (at the root of everything it seems) has also gotten us into a lot of trouble..it’s black OR white, good OR bad, etc.etc. It seems we never imagine anything else but these two and so far, this seems to not be “working”.

Possibly this “new” era, the 2012 thing, and especially our new discoveries in quantum physics, etc. tells us there are, like, a billion points of view, not just “one or the other”. If there are infinite possibilities, why should I restrict myself by thinking it will be either good or bad in the end? And personally (I think I will write about it in more detail on my blog) I’m starting to believe that duality is the old model, one we’re moving out of. The new one is infinite; I think it means we can imagine (and realize) any “outcome”…now I know that sounds easier than it really is, but this may be the direction we’re heading towards.

If it no longer has to be “bad” or “good”, maybe it can be great, different, whatever, can’t think of the adjectives now. If we’re not stuck in the “good” or “bad” box, we might be able to imagine something that we still haven’t defined yet…and thus this new age. Visually, I see first the yin/yang symbol, black and white as the duality “picture”, then a fractal circle that has endless depth to it, and a million pieces making a whole. You just have to look closer to see them but they are all there too.

I hope this makes some kind of sense, as it may not, but your post made me think of this idea I’ve been kicking around, and I want to think more on it and write more at another time. One thing leading to another and etc. Thanks for the post.

And thanks for your wonderful heart and mind.
