We all know what duality & non-duality mean so we would
all know any knowing & awareness coming from these conscious realties are going
to be different as well. Duality is of course more of thought than non-duality
as non-duality denotes oneness & in oneness there is no reason to think as everything
is one however in duality, because consciousness is separated into individual
portions, we have to judge & name these differences. In this process,
because were not aware that everything is a portion of consciousness, we label
everything separately which gives us even more separateness/dualism. This is
saying, this process of seeing everything as a difference & labelling them
so has actually created more dualism within this reality & the more dualism
we create the more opposing forces & conflict we will create.
Religion/spirituality are supposed to be about non-duality &
science/psychology is about duality because it labels everything into separate
spectrum, so spirituality & sciences seem to be opposing forces but they weren’t
created to be opposing forces but complimenting & coexisting influences I
believe. In the dark ages religion ruled & it caused all sorts of mayhem,
now we have the sciences/technology doing the same today. The reason for this
is one or the other dominates our existence. I feel non-duality is there to help keep us
proportionally balanced between dualism & non-dualism while existing in a
dualistic reality but it’s not meant to be the most dominant influence, a
balance between the two will create a much more sedate existence I believe.
Dualistic & non-dualistic thinking processes give us
quite different thinking processes & at times quite opposing thought
processes so how are they supposed to coexist & complement each other? Wisdom,
the wisdom to be accepting enough so that these two seemingly opposing thought
processes can work in unison together. We have, believe it or not, tried to do this
in the past; even religions like Buddhism & Islam have tried to do this to some
extent but of course under the dominance of the said religion which in the end
doesn’t work especially to its full capacity. What we are missing here is we
can’t see everything being of an intelligent consciousness; it’s all
of consciousness so even if we do label everything as separate parts of consciousness
it’s still consciousness. Science is of consciousness as much as religion or
even spirituality; it’s just a different portion of consciousness. I must state
here that just because it’s separate parts of consciousness in this duality
reality doesn’t mean it’s an illusion, just separate parts of the universal intelligent
consciousness.
Anyone who is dominated by dualistic modes of thought are
going to find it hard to accept any other thought process, how would one know &
become further aware about oneself & our environment if one doesn’t label
everything that is seemingly different to something else? This is duality thinking
but non-duality thinking isn’t an actual thinking process at all but just a
knowing that one has without labels, it comes down to acceptance of what is
without question which a mind dominated by dualism can’t accept so what’s the answer?
It
comes down to teaching that everything in existence is of an intelligent consciousness
not trying to teach non-dualistic thought mode processes to a dualistic thinkers,
in this just lies more conflicts. I believe science will one day discover that
everything is of an intelligent consciousness, if given room to breathe; science
will come to its own conclusions about the universal consciousness with a
little bit of external non-duality assistance. Non-duality will assist without
lifting a finger I believe through its own intentions because intentions on their
own collectively are conscious changing so we are seeing through many scientists/psychologists
becoming more open minded & accepting these days. I believe things will just
evolve when the time comes to evolve as science is doing today.
