We must redefine our duality.

We exist within a world of duality.

There exists balance.

Within the physics of our universe, every action results in an equal but opposite reaction.

Therefore, in order to overcome the duality of Good/Evil, we must redefine it.

Else, we will only repeat the cycle ad infinitum.

Even with 1000 years of light and peace, the darkness must be unleashed.

One would think such a length of time to suffice for a new paradigm to be established.

If we flood the world with love and light, as we should, we must await a day of return in opposite.

By playing with words and shadows, I believe we can establish a new order of things.

But we must take action.

Good and Evil is a thing of the past.

I propose we go back to fundamentals.

Focus on Light and Darkness.

One can play with shadows without wickedness.

Much the same, death can be redefined as a partner to life, not its end and antithesis.

I encourage you to explore our world of dualities and play with irony, for it is a powerful tool in expression.

We have all the time in the world.

But time is short...

Good Luck my brethren.

And fare well.

yo son that was some deep ish right there. Darkness and Light instead of Good and Evil, that would be more naturally honest. As both light and darkness can not only reveal but conceal as well. They can both hurt and help.

Good and Evil are too narrow and simple. That is not how the real world operates. Fire makes light, but the result is it can destroy. Light can reveal what is hidden in shadows, but what if someone were hiding in shadows because they were being pursued by others with less than dignifying intent?? The darkness was their saving grace, and the light has just brought them into a terrible and likely violent situation. In this situation, the individual hiding would have to be guilty of a crime for the light to be good and the dark to be bad.

Focused light can destroy life through heat. Sometimes only in complete darkness can one find solace and answers to what they seek through meditation.

I think I am on board with this light and darkness instead of evil and good because duality is oversimplified and light and darkness can broadly describe good and bad things, actions, intents and situations.

Bungie called they want the plot to Destiny back.

It's interesting to note that good and bad are essentially the two experiencable emotional extremes on a scale just like light and dark, or noise and silence. I've long been theorizing that emotions are a yet to be discovered sense very similar to sight and hearing.
Funnily when you take sound as the metaphor many would consider the absent state, silence, as the good one where as with light we tend to equal darkness with bad...

Good and Evil is a thing of the past.

Have you ever been in the military?

Evil is real and and all the semantic games won't change that. I hope you my brother never have to experience real evil.

a reply to: lilzazz

Humans can be agents of evil.

They should not.

It ends.

Hmmm…

I like defining this dichotomy as orientations of consciousness.

When consciousness exists as a self and focuses on self preservation and absorption, it is called evil. Or dark.

When consciousness exists as a whole and focuses on all , expansion and giving, it is called good. Or light.

Please tell your story(ies).

If you please.

With such a change and substitution of the qualifications of the basic principles, it will become practically easier to manage a person. If understanding Good and Evil requires a certain intellectual level of a person and stimulation of his mental and analytical abilities, acquiring new knowledge, then when replacing them with Light and Darkness, it is enough to simply gouge out a person’s eyes, and then blind people will simply accept on faith what The Master tells them.

With a just Lord, would it not suffice?

Proper regents wouldn't allow such an abuse.

We also need a complete overhaul of government.

It’s interesting to me that you justify the devil’s plans to enslave man with the opinion of God.

God is Freedom of choice and Love. The devil is the enslavement of man and his spiritual death.

And also, if you need a complete restructuring of public administration, then do not interfere with God’s providence in this. Do it yourself in accordance with human civic powers, expediency and benefit to people. Don't confuse soft with warm.

I have spent a lifetime 1/2 century...of learning how to LOSE my duality. There is none. Only the ying and yang of life.

There can be no single thing without an opposite:
Black/White, Up/down, his/hers, over/under, here/there, us/them, they/those, him/her adinfitium.

The duality of Man...strives toward the singularity of "God"...and a oneness with.

If anything, mans realization of his duality should bring his singularity into focus.

We live, we grow, we die, rinse and repeat. All in a journey for singular self.

Only to learn we need gather it, centralize it...then learn to shed it.

Peace

You clearly misunderstood my words.

I may play the devil's advocate at times.

But never would I support enslavement.


Is servitude unto your God enslavement?

Are his ministers not his regents?

Either you too support enslavement...


Or perhaps there is a form of rule which isn't so.

a reply to: mysterioustranger

I agree with your thought alignment.

However, if it were so simple for the masses...

Would we not have attained such Oneness by now!?


I propose an alternative to the never-ending push and pull.

Another way of growth, without sufferance.

To forge precious metal without the burning flame.


No such thing we know for now in these days.

But it has been done. It can be achieved.

I offer a way out of the dichotomy of Good vs Evil.


But then again, my words are flawed by expression of the self.


Thank you for sharing.

I do see a lot of oneness in many points here within your thoughts.👍
And...
"But then again, my words are flawed by expression of the self".
You nearly have it friend! I pose to you fire exists, the metal to forge as well...but..TOGETHER...they rid them "SELF'S"... and become "one". A brand new creation.

We are all only the sum total of all the ecumulated knowledge each have obtained.

We really are just "one". Us. Them. We are Humanity. Singular.

See? God bless you n your thoughts 🙏

a reply to: mysterioustranger

I agree with much of what you say.

Though I claim we are MORE than the sum of our collective parts. (Or accumulated knowledge)

How is that possible!?


The whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Therein lies a great secret to life.

But then again...



Who knows?

^_^


Edit: the sword is much more than a hot rock.

a reply to: BrotherKinsMan

The sum total thing means today, not finally. We grow each day....
