Being Oppositional

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument or network.

There are some who believe that nothing of importance exists outside the realm of what we can see, touch, hear, taste or smell. They disavow any other perspective of reality other than those that find manifestation within the confines of a three dimensional world of space/time. This perspective produces a disparity between our interpretation and comprehension of there being an inner and outer life. The idea that the world is realized in the form of a series of contrasting events brings attention to an interesting conjecture, and that is that a series of contrasting elements establish the most appropriate environment and condition necessary for truthful inquiry, discovery, creativity and growth. It therefore becomes apparent that the concept of duality be considered a major pre-requisite when exploring and investigating the attributes surrounding design consciousness.

The dualistic nature of the Universe is clearly illustrated in the Chinese symbol for duality, which illustrates the relationship between opposing forces of Yin and Yang. The Yin Yang symbol attempts to describe reality as a series of forces that appear to oppose each other as a natural course of events. Fundamental to this circumstance is the realization that all relationships are constantly changing and that our own true nature is that of an observer changing in relationship to ourselves. The complimentary elements of yin and yang like those surrounding the concepts of the ego and the self, are in constant motion. Consciousness could be described as an awareness of these ever changing events ... our interpretation of every event is part of an “experience”.

The ego is the symbolic projection of an active state of observation. The ego represents and is an expression of a particular kind of being finding expression is 3D space/time.  Eckhart Tolle describes being as originating “deep within every form at its innermost invisible and indestructible essence.” The ego is a symbolic interpretation, i.e. a vehicle if you will, used to experience this “being ness” in this dimension and in this particular space and time. 

The ego is a creation of this essence whose purpose is to make itself symbolically apparent, i.e. manifest, solely in order to experience a relatively different dimension (universe). The ego describes a particular point of view (POV). The ego creates the symbolic connection required for this particular POV from this particular dimension. The ego is the label for a particular POV experiencing this state of realization, i.e. dimension. This is the only game in town. If you desire to expand in awareness and therefore consciousness you must experience 3D space/time. It is an integral part of a greater system of consciousness symbolically re-presented in the form of the universe. 

The observer resides within as a focal point, a mysterious Source that feels central to our very being. It is a realization in the form of a feeling that is attained and comprehended through symbolic means of expression and self-awareness.

Contrasting elements play a dominant role in the road towards self-awareness. Understanding the symbolic relationships (experiences) created between the observer and the ego are instrumental in discovering the true nature of design consciousness.
