Is it possible to free oneself from the dualistic world of
opposites? For example, are the following ideas true in themselves or do they need their opposite to make any
sense? Good and bad, you and me, light and dark, life and death, spiritual and material, freedom and
responsibility, good and evil. Is there a higher truth that contains both opposites? Is freedom possible in a group
situation unless there is also responsibility and respect for the other person’s freedom as well?
Can you think about the present moment? I can’t! It’s too quick,
too much happening. The best I can do is to register a tiny small part of the total reality at any moment in my
memory and replay it ‘after it has already happened’ and with my own personal spin on it.
So what? It proves to me that thought is a tool or a program if
you like, for living creatively, but it is not who I am when I am not thinking dualistically which is the unknown
mystery, or gap between two thoughts, and ‘I” continuously and creatively come out of this nothingness to make my
decisions, which is incredible and incomprehensible.
By the way, who are you when you are in a deep sleep? Where did
you go?
What's the first thing you think about when you are waking up in the morning? I have
bits of memory flying in from nowhere land, such as, 'Today is....., followed by what things might need to be done
that day, followed by whether I can doze off a bit longer, and suddenly I am Gary Hipworth again. Take away the
memory process and I would be nobody with nothing to do and nowhere to go. Hmm. Into the gap, dear
ERIC.
