Our two natures is also a duality, Itisnowagain.

What two natures are they?

Consider that time itself is conciousness.

Where is time now?

That the Now is non-conciousness or pure awareness.

Now is what's actually occuring.....it can arise as anything, any thought, any sensation, any action....... it's what is, as it is.

We need use conciousness to undertake certain tasks in this world.

There is nothing using anything.
What is, just is....alone.


Has it ever been considered that the entire scene of now is whole and complete?
Like a movie, everything (including the body and thoughts) are included within the scene.........

Now is the screen on which the movie appears .....now (the screen of consciousness) never moves (stillness) but what is appearing as the screen, is appearing to move.....all that ever appears is the screen.

Have you read the following statement in Gospel of Thomas...

Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."

Do you think it could be a key to the gate? Consider that first Genesis account to be a blueprint of mankind. Adam created in Gods image is the male. Eve created by DNA is the female. The serpernt our ego. "male will not be male nor the female be female" meaning we should not try to exist in extremities of the duality but exist in the middle so both are one. Gautama Buddha also apoke about this very subject. Meeting with many ascetics like Maharshi in his time. The Buddha promoted the middle path between all dualities is the correct path to full enlightenment.

Consider time exists in our memories. We do not want promote alzheimer's onto the worlds people. Neither do we want to promote the dreaming of our life away in memories. We need to excercise both mind and spirit to become whole.
