I have observed the persistence of lies in reality. I believe we all have and do on a consistent basis.
Consider this: The Universal, yet ambiguous meaning behind the common expression "Black and White..."
....seriously though...humor me here ...tell me...what does that even mean? Why is it such a symbolically powerful notion?
Duality....The Knowledge of Good and Evil...The awareness of opposing poles so inseparable that one cannot be with out the other. We say this, in many subtle ways throughout the day...
"You can't make an omelet without cracking a few shells."
"When life gives you lemons, you make Lemonade."
"Every Rose has it's thorns (*Plays killer Air guitar Solo*)."
You dig what I'm mining at? Even more intriguing to me is how crucial applying what you learned in 3rd grade becomes for you when you see what The Matrix really is:
Let's take a trip back in time to better days in elementary art class...
Despite being continuously proven incorrect, we still choose to mentally conceive of "Black and White" as colors.
Now to all my science major readers on one side of the isle, and similarly, to all my art major readers on the other, this quandary (basically) comes down to two equal, separate, and intrinsically inseparable realities.... And, word to Einstein, of course the two perspectives are just that...perspectives... It's all "Relative."
It boils down to whether you see color as a function of light or as a particular and distinct "pigment."
It gets very technical and contentious from there, but to me, debating something that is intrinsically relative...meaning always being open to subjective interpretation... is foolish...
At the end if the day, is just is what it is...
BUT, SELF EVIDENTLY, LIGHT STILL REINS SUPREME...FOR WITHOUT LIGHT, THERE WOULD BE NO "COLORS" TO SEE. In fact... And please look this up... Space absent of light cannot be observed.. and, according to the emerging Quantum Mechanics, what cannot be observed simply does not exist...
That's not trivial. That's physics, philosophy, and Bible study, all in something soo blatantly obvious it's become nearly invisible...
I mean, since we came onto the scene on this planet, we have ALWAYS accepted the notion that GOD IS LIGHT, in spirit and form... And being ALL POWER, nothing exists without GOD.
Not up on religion? Here is a more agreeable factual metaphor... The Sun..our personal source of life sustaining life...
The Sun accounts for LITERALLY 99% of the total mass within the Solar System... Compared to the Sun, the planets, and everything that the planets given rise to, including our entire civilization, accounts for less than a single percent of the stuff that Matters in Space.
And don't get me started in terms of time... The Sun is somewhere in its relativistic 30s - Making us a baby yet to be conceived.
Knowing our Cosmological Place within this Grand Matrix we call the Universe is absolutely critical to our Evolution as a people and and as individuals.
As above, so below; meaning that to participate in the Collective Evolution of Humanity, you must focus exclusively on learning who you are.
As above, so below; meaning that to participate in the Collective Evolution of Humanity, you must focus exclusively on learning who you are.
And who are we? We are each unique combinations of particular beliefs that we acquire along our journey, as well as perpetual cultivators of The Book of Life, which is what we otherwise call our spirits... The spirit, of course, is eternal and always available from within.
We just went 360 degrees around Science, through Religion, all the away back to the concept of a Supreme Force that is intrinsic to the physical realm while remaining entirely free from its tendency to act in a certain way... Such as the Laws of Physics, Spiritual Laws like Equivalent Exchange, and Laws that operate in either realm, simultaneously; like the Law of Attraction...
Which transitions us back to my initial point...
I submit that Black and White exist as theoretical symbols for abundance and lack, only. They form two metaphorical poles, which to the observer, provide enough opposing perspective as to grant the observer the ability to compare and contrast.
Observation is gaining information through attention. Since we are each individuals with our own personal perspective, we are necessarily going to observe simultaneous events from subjective and unique perspectives.
A lot of science and philosophy jargon to point out the obvious.:
We are all more similar than we are different, so says our genetic sequencing....
The differences that cause division are often artificially created barriers... Like "race," class/caste systems, as well as everything else...
But, by applying what we established earlier, we see that we misinterpret the wonder and blessings of Duality by believing the false assertion that their nature is fundamentally real....
Duality allows for judgment. Judgment is a human specialty.
I mean...especially as Americans, and the many other colonially impacted states, racism remains a "nonexistent" (from the perspective of those in power), factually false, yet systematically pervasive force that til this day prevent Humanity from moving forward.
Accepting my imperfect generalizations, educated guesses, and unwavering reason, I would assert that racism is a DIRECT RESULT OF US willfully and ignorantly treating Black and White like normal colors,which severely inhibits you from seeing the Truth as it is...what's the phrase....oh yeah... Black and White!
And yet, the world marches on and fools will yet again be entrapped in Duality...
