The following post isn’t about honesty within perceiving in
technicolour but how my post titled, Honesty within Spirituality, is collative with
my recent topic of perceiving in technicolour. The below insightful questions
and my answers to these questions show such a collation of these two topics, spirituality
after all is about the whole of the collective not just parts of it. These
questions are only in reference to the ego and duality but they were induced by
the topic of honesty within spirituality.
Hi Mathew. See this is
what I mean by doublespeak. Now, please look at my question, it is genuine.
Duality by its very
definition is opposing views. So when you say that its our perceptions of this
that is the problem, I fail to understand what you are saying.
How else can one perceive
opposing views! But in opposition?
Are you saying that we
need to rewrite the definition of duality?
Thank you in advance
for helping me to understand.

Insightful questions
and I will my best to answer them however anything I say isn't gospel here,
it's just a view.
From Wikipedia:
[i]Dualism (from the Latin word duo meaning "two")[1] denotes a state
of two parts. The term 'dualism' was originally coined to denote co-eternal
binary opposition, a meaning that is preserved in metaphysical and
philosophical duality discourse but has been diluted in other usages to
indicate a system which contains two essential parts.[/i]

There is a mention of
conflict further on in this link but alternatively it also mentions
complement. You could say the obvious negative
and positive here is also making reference to a positive /negative ego because
the ego can’t exist without dualism.
Dualism, going by this
definition, doesn’t have to be conflictive but can also be complimenting as
well. I find it funny how humans only perceive the negative and well before they
will perceive a positive. We have all
done this…….
So what is so complimenting
about dualism? Wrong and right can be complimenting, hate and love can be
complimenting, positive and negative can be complimenting and so on. Let’s look
at hate and love, how can these two be complimenting when they are so opposing?
Would we realise the power of love without
hate? I don’t think so; hate gives us more awareness of love to start with. Any
opposing polarity is going to enhance the other opposing polarity, it is then
up to us which polarity we live by…..
It depends on our perception
if opposing polarities are going to complement each other or conflict with each
other. Do we have a black and white perception or a technicolour perception? We
are conditioned to perceive in black and white but some people have overcome
this conditioning and can perceive in technicolour.
Yes I know there are
people who have demonised duality but these are the same people that demonise anything
they perceive in a black and white perception, we need to start listening to
people who perceive in technicolour in my mind.
Another collation here is what I also not too recently wrote
about, old and new mentality, which collate with black and white and
technicolour perceiving. Everything is
indeed connected in some way and if it’s connected it’s really one source not
what realities of duality make us perceive…….separation or what I also call
fragmented consciousness. However just because
it’s fragmented doesn’t mean it’s negative or has to be negative in my mind, we
need to start perceiving differently to build upon a better existence……
