A Minor Chord on Non-Duality

If I say that I finally understand what nonduality is, then I am not understanding it. Well, if I understood it, I would be saying that non-duality is something that is understood or not understood, that is, that non-duality is something dual in relation to understanding. But it makes no sense to say that non-duality is dual.

If I say that I finally intuit what non-duality is, then I am not intuiting it. Well, if I intuited it, I would be saying that non-duality is something that is intuited or not intuited, that is, that non-duality is something dual in relation to intuition. But it makes no sense to say that non-duality is dual.

However, duality is understandable and intuitive. The fundamental intuition is expressed in the logical operators. The most basic of all is the Sheffer operator, with which we can build any system of logic, that is, any scientific theory. This operator is “Not X and Y”, where “X” and “Y” are any proposition. The fundamental logical operator is denial, with chained denials of propositions we make a dual science.

The root of duality is then denial, limitation. Denial has its physiological origin in the cell (or bacterial) membrane: the determination of what happens to be “inside the cell” by differentiating it from what is “outside the cell.”

The cell nucleus is, evolutionarily, the result of a bacteria within another bacteria, that is, the result of the acceptance of the Other, of saying “yes” instead of denying. This saying yes began an even deeper Path of Beauty.

Going beyond duality is beginning a path that already expands the limits of life. This is the path of symbols, which leads to the Spirit.

An eternal saying Yes!

The path of non-duality begins in “yes”.
If I have ever approached this, “yes” I believe it may be in that light and expansive oneness that comes when I shift from my doing into being and can journey with awareness In meditation. So it seems to me…

Limen et Continuum

By
  Existence is Encounter. Meeting at the limen. In the limen, the masks disappear, that is, the basic intuitions of identities, such as the identity that I feel and think in relation to the tree that I see in front of me. The identity of the tree is a projection of mine: the unity of my process of perceiving the tree generates a mask in me, the ghost of a limited unity separated from everything else. The simplest form of intuitive understanding of masks and limen is given to us by numbers. Numbers intuitively express the liminal tension that is Existence. A little etymological note. Rythmos in Greek means flow. Arythmos (number) is what does not flow, what remains solidified. Numbers express the liminoid, and flow, rhythm, expresses the liminal. A rhythm becomes liminoid when we can trace patterns in it, that is, when we can construct masks of identities. Mathematics has spoken of flow using the Latin word “continuum”, the continuous. All modern science, since Leibni...

Masks and Ego

By
  The ego is the force of psychic centroversion, that which establishes points or frames of reference. Without the coordinate point (0,0), we cannot orient ourselves or act. The ego is the force that builds an unlimited number of references, of centers around which different formations of the Soul will appear. In Sanskrit, it is called Ahankara. Aham means “I”, kara is “the process of doing or carrying out”. As a compound word, Ahankara means “the process of making or uttering the ‘I’ ( aham ).” The ego is an action, a force that establishes or says the “I”, that lays a fundamental reference stone with respect to another action. For example, the human organism spontaneously performs the physiological action of seeing, the organ of sight is set in motion automatically, and automatically, a force also appears that assigns another action to the function of vision: the action that says “I ”. The synthesis is “I see.” It also happens in animals, for the acti...

Matriarcal or Uroboric Incest

By
Let us discuss some basic aspect of ego formation: its appearence out of the uroboric round. The uroboric round is the realm of the primordial waters (you can listen to my Podcast on the Primordial Waters). I really recomend you the book: The Origin s and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann. (Princeton University Press). Neumann was a friend of Jung and member of the Eranos Group. We could understand the appearance of the ego from the unconscious through the myth of the emergence of an island from the primordial waters. Its appearance, however, is not permanent and definitive, especially at the beginning. The tides of the unconscious rise and the island is once again covered by the waters. Only a progressive systematization of consciousness leads to its permanence. To keep consciousness awake, a force of determination is necessary, which requires a display of psychic and physiological energy. For the appearance of consciousness it is necessary to exert an energy that moves...
