Light

The purpose of this discourse is to consider light, darkness, and neutrality. They are all energy. They all interact with each other. These three forces are simply a model of reality. They do not ultimately define reality in and of themselves. Nothing save for direct experience of reality itself can define reality. It comes at you on a multidimensional continuum, and most of the dimensions are not observed by yours truly, though they may be observed by yours faithfully, God.

What a comforting thought that there is a benevolent power that created a malevolent power because he had to in order to create the conflict/dance that facilitates the existence of the universe. I’ve never met such a power, and to have faith in something based on rumors is a tremendously naïve position on the face of it. However, it is sometimes useful to use this faith, and it does produce results when used properly. Monotheism remains an indispensable tool in paradigm shifting.

When one can become a Jew, Christian, or Mohammedan, read the holy book, and experience it, one can see through the priests, and one can understand the underlying unity and balance of the system of the Gods in those tomes despite the control mechanisms of the priests who wrote them. The religions would not have power if they did not contain universal truths hiding among the profane lies of the clergy who have convinced us that the records are more important that what the records are recording. They, along with politicians, have convinced us that clothes make a person.

As Allan Watts pointed out, persona is from Latin. When we say person, we mean persona, or mask. Having studied Latin myself, I can confirm that it does literally mean, through [it] sound, sound travels through it. It is necessary to add words to Latin in order that the meaning can be understood in English; there is a word that is added frequently when reading the myths in Latin or listening to them is performed. A persona was a mask. Old Roman masks have the orifice of sound; they worked as a road cone does in amplifying one’s voice. A person is a mask. Your clothes make up, decorations, and accessories are that mask, or glamour.

Those who disagree should consider that naked people have no authority in any civilized society. Take off your clothes and walk around trying to get things done and see how many days you last before you’re taken to jail or worse. Your clothes are what allow you to function in society, and they are what allow you to be who you are in society. A Turkish scientist once went to speak to some European scientists, he wore traditional Turkish dress, and he was laughed at. When he came back years later in a suit, he was listened to and his ground breaking theory was accepted.

This is actually no great secret. People who pay attention to their dreams will note that they often have dreams of showing up naked to school, business, or other engagements, or where everyone else or everyone is naked. People are told to think of everyone sitting there in their underwear if they are nervous and so on. This fact is advertised to us by the very society that hides it from us. Look around and see how many naked people you see respected in society. It’s not even polite to talk about nakedness, and forget about anything remotely sexual, it’s all taboo.

Nudist colonies cause such a stir. These people were interviewed on talk shows like Donahue and all sorts of accusations were thrown at them from the audience, accusations that could easily apply to them, and with the same amounts of evidence to support either charge. One wonders if this isn’t because a vast majority of society is overcompensating for the sins they commit behind closed doors that they can’t bear the thought that someone else might be getting away with. Their lies reflect their own lies and they can’t stand it.

Janet Jackson’s nipple gets some time of the idiot box and the country is up in arms about the indecency and shock that it caused, and when they get home, they flip through the channels that show the bombing of Iraq, the demonstrations against it, the hushed tones of the VP, and the construct Prez created by his various advisers who has become quite a strong and powerful character in the cast, and nobody really minds that this man just lied to them, and continues to lie to them and destroy the Constitution through psychological, intelligence, and counterintelligence operations on the people in addition to the abuse of the people’s military and the good order and discipline of the United States of America.

This shows you what the people really believe in, and in the end, the people get the government that they deserve. It’s a sad and hard fact. Most people need the system, they need the wars, they need politics, and they need the lies. The deeper into the fabric of society they become, the more dependent upon these processes they become. How many of them can hunt, fish, butcher, farm, survive, fight off a giant cat, organize into groups of six, create fire, use the human ingenuity that has secured us our position at the top of the food chain. Now animals invade our cities attacking people, it’s a strange phenomenon now, but, I predict that it will increase in the future because nobody knows how to deal with the older survival tactics of human life.

Some will say, “We don’t need those things now, we have a system.” What if the system fails? What then? What about roving blackouts? Hurricane? Floods? Earthquakes? Did anyone pay attention to Katrina? The debacle was due to lack of cooperation between the governments at State and Federal levels; one cannot put all the blame on the Prez, which is the easy bullshit non conformists’ easy answer to the problem. The answer is, those people were not adequately prepared to deal with such a thing, and it’s not the Federal Governments responsibility to train them! By putting that on the Federal government, you’re giving them more power to spy on people.

A human is not neutral, perhaps not even when the human incarnation has deceased. There is a relationship between the observer and the observed. Therefore, an observer cannot be neutral. In making the choice to be neutral he still affects the outcome of the observed simply by his presence. This effect may be subtle, even imperceptible, but, the effect is there simply because the relationship exists. Because of this, it is said that neutrality is an excuse to do nothing. They say a lot don’t they?

Yet in the state of no mind, a human can be neutral. He is then filled with whatever is around him. If an observer in a state of no mind encounters a riot, he will become that riot unless instructions have been given to him as to how to react in this situation. The energy can be transformed and utilized as a function of the operators’ choice. This can be thought of as the eye of the hurricane, action and inaction.

A human is composed of light and darkness. A human is a unified entity that is composed to two halves. There is a mirror in your body. The universe is unified and dualistic, as we are, and as everything is. DNA divides, and so does everything else. Thus, we get unity and duality all at the behest of a force that we can probably never know, at least not in our human state.
