Ah, welcome TheChosen. Your replies are very refreshing as you voice concerns similar to mine (and your Baldur's Gate avatar raises fond memories.
).If I may quickly voice my personal experience along those lines of singularity and duality: I'm obviously a head person. I enjoy thinking as abstractly as possible as it allows me to connect with the forces behind the subjects but it is also very hindering even when accompanied by intuition. I believe that this is due to the mind fooling itself into being able to understand and this directly relates to this idea of new age and conspiracy movements. I've never felt too engaged with this 'love and light' stuff. I don't doubt it's there but the terminology has been way too abused over the course of time. This is the same with the constant discourse between good and bad, singular and dual. What I keep on hearing from the 'love and light' people is that singularity is a ruse created by evil to justify it's existence. The effects are that lazy people are assured that 'everything is all right' and that 'the good don't fight the bad but accept it'. So we really need to see that evil exists and beat the hell out of it (or at least transmute it which is of course done by lumping lots of light and love on it). What I keep on hearing from the 'singularity' people is of course that 'all is one' and the bad has it's function and so does the good. In fact, if the bad didn't exist the good would only hang around and do nothing so they need to be evil, so evil is a kind of catalyst for the evolution of this world. Hence, one shouldn't even try to distinguish anymore between good and evil, everything 'just is'. Now, the mere existence of these two concepts are a duality in itself again so clearly none of this has anything to do with singularity. My feeling tells me that I can see the sum of the parts, but not more, and that misses the integral part. I for one, can't even make up my mind whether good and evil even exist as such. Balance comes to mind, but balance in itself isn't singularity either. What intricately ties in with this discussion, in my opinion, is the question whether things are to come easily and with fun, whether it is about the balance of discipline and fun (like you meditate every day but you do it only as long as you enjoy it) or whether the only thing that will really work is the real hardcore army style discipline of forcing yourself to do it no matter what. I hope this hasn't just been a personal rant but also mirrors some of the concerns that others have but don't voice. I have the feeling sometimes that there is a lot more delusion going on than many of us want to admit. I myself can't understand how this duality still exists on the higher/other planes for I have not 'been there' but the mere variety of discussions and opinions on this board seems to be proof that all isn't quite one, yet (and don't you dare call Jesus something else). So I am glad to see that this effort shall be an effort of singularity. Reading this reassures me that this effort is worth it's while and it feels right. However, how exactly do you teach a mass of people like we hope to mobilise to suddenly switch from the old patterns into 'singularity'? How can you check that we're all outside the old system? And if this singularity really exists, how can it be that some individuals (parts of all) can 'have it' and other's don't? This just doesn't sound like it can have anything to do with critical mass and entrainment, but maybe that's just my logical mind kicking in again. It would be much appreciated if you could dispel more of these concepts. I for one can't agree with the notion that an enlightened person thinks in concepts and pictures. I do that, I haven't recognised my buddahood yet. I have the feeling that the less concepts I have, the better. The more fluid the entities, be they thoughts, patterns or other dynamics, the more I feel 'at home' with everything. Words and concepts cut the world in pieces. They do not say 'this is presently close, yet all is there' they say 'that's here and that's not'. Clearly, this effort can't be by words alone for all the reasons I just stated, so I really look forward to hearing that music, but as I said. If we can have more dispelling, more paradox, more nonsense, I'd appreciate it a lot. |

I don't think that abstraction and intuition necessarily have to conflict, to me, abstraction seems to be the "reins" for intuition, as strengthening intuition is a continuous process. However, I feel that I've been able to develop a kind of general intuition towards the bigger picture that suggests that what we may have done is gradually metamorphosize over thousands of years from a more authentic contstruct for reality to a highly inaccurate one. From ancient studies I've done (not of course on simply what happened, but the way people thought, based on the unique construction manners of the surviving texts), I can see that what I call a "singularity" was seemingly the mode of orientation towards reality for many people. And it wasn't within the current framework for reality but just simplified, it was of an entirely different order. That's why I feel it's crucial to define this singularity as very similar to previous definitions and yet completely different at the same time. I mean, a lot of people can say something like "all is One" without really knowing what they mean by that exactly. I am hoping we can set a formal definition for it and try and see how different that is from some other definitions that have come about. In this definition, there is the observer, and a sphere with infinitely many different facets, upon which all exists that we can perceive to define our reality. The sphere remains the same no matter how big or small it gets, thus there can not even be any distinction between "within" and "without" in this sense of reality. In the traditional sense of reality, the problem is that so many people are looking without for answers without pairing it to any sense of within. As soon as the self gives up the need to energize such distinctions (unless it has a very specific purpose for doing so), it saves them an incredible amount of energetic expenditure. Quote:

) - in the "two worlds" philosophy, all this "good and evil" business is simply a notion for the old world, and we are moving not just away from that gradually, but literally jumping into a new world suddenly by just as suddenly realizing we have the ability to powerfully manifest anything pertaining to the status quo (regardless of whether it be manifestations of evil, or manifestations of a growing number of people seriously determined to move on from such stagnating concepts forever). Of course someone could argue "well that just leaves evil free to 'get us and win!'" but they don't realize the true power of such a decision, not to mention with what commitment one would then go on to defend one's decision to free themselves in this way with. This would be effectively the "shield at the border of the diverging two world's". More on that later.Quote:

People will not be asked to suddenly switch. But they will be gradually more and more so asked to seriously look at the situation and try to intuit the outcome based on the scenario we are being lured into acting out - and to consider that there even actually is an alternative. We are being led to believe there is no alternative, and we have no choice but to fight or submit. But there is a third way, and this is one of the principles upon which we are trying to establish the uniqueness of this project. Quote:
As soon as we recognize that we are trying to make a *corona* around what we are trying to get at with our words, and we fully accept that the reason there is so much conflict over words (ie the internet forums), is because we never seem to realize how much is lost in translation (and twice to boot, once when it is typed by one party, and again when it is interpreted by the other party) - imagine what social interaction would be like with direct telepathic communication of languageless concepts, where nothing could ever possibly be lost in translation? As soon as we recognize we are making a corona, our use of language adapts tremendously to accomodate for that. We make "headers" for what we are saying, pre-empt the reactions of others "I know you might think this, so ahead of time, be sure to know I admit that what I have typed might not accurately represent what I am really trying to say, please give me the benefit of the doubt, etc". It's really amazing what happens! Different people operate out of distinction and unity simultaneously (and that's the real singularity again, to truly recognize that it's possible for people to operate together with that degree of unity without compromising their individuality whatsoever - the Truth Paradox well exemplified!). We begin building a solid "New Foundation" for ourselves at a relentless speed. This is what I dream to accomplish, by first getting to that core feeling.
