When the opposing sides of a contrast meet, they cancel out each other, so if you, for example, do not exclude negativity to experience positivity, you will not be able to judge something as positive or negative. In other words, when all contrasts are included, you are not able to perceive yourself as someone definitive,. Hence there is nothing to hide what always has been and always will be, namely the formlessness of that which is one. It cannot be experienced though, as that requires more than one. It merely is one perpetual present. The graphic is grabbed from the web.
In the milliseconds after the big bang, two different worlds were about to evolve, one of matter (the one we believe to see) and one of antimatter. Matter and antimatter, however, cannot coexist. When they meet, an incredible amount of energy is released, and they both disappear in one big flash.
Antimatter, therefore, had to be excluded for matter to be experienced as a tangible universe defined by time and space. This does not mean though that antimatter disappeared. As the world is in the eye of the beholder, antimatter only needed to be excluded from there. That is why science cannot find it, although it according to their observations of the universe must be there.
Death defines the condition of life in a world of duality.
As a world of duality only can be seen through contrasts and as the beholder have to exclude one side of it to experience the other – the experience of beauty, for example, requires its contrast ugliness to be excluded – what happened in the milliseconds after the big bang is repeated again and again.
So if the beholder does not exclude one of the two parts of a contrast but include them both – for example positivity and negativity – they will just like the contrast of matter and antimatter cancel each other out.
The meeting of contrasts has been avoided since the beginning of duality in order to make it appear as if it duality and not non-duality is real, so if you do not want the belief in this illusion to hide that which is real, you simply include both sides of a contrast in order for them to meet and in one big flash undo the appearance of separation.
When contrasts are not kept apart to separately experience one part of it at the expense of the other, they annihilate each other in one big flash. The graphic is grabbed from the web.
In other words, when all contrasts are included, the beholder, including the world of duality that it beholds, is cancelled out in one big flash. This is what is called the enlightenment of that which is one* in Alexius´ Enlightened Non-Teachings. You can read about that in HACK #6 The inward-facing senses, enlightenment and glimpses of it.
More, faster and cheaper is the common mantra. And to make it work the formlessness of non-duality is replaced with a world of duality, that is imagined in contrasts of more and less, fast and slow, cheap and expensive and so on.
Most, however, do not want to be cancelled out. On the contrary, they always are looking for the next big thing, that can make them more happy and perfect as someone special and unique. Yet happiness cannot be felt without its contrast, sadness, and there is no perfection without imperfection. It is just not possible to know that you are experiencing a specific feeling or state of mind without knowing its contrast, which is only possible when you believe to be someone in a world of duality.
When defocusing contrasts fades out, and so the brain cannot fabricate an illusion of duality. The graphic is grabbed from the web.
But as non-duality is no different from that which is one and as duality requires more than one, it is an illusion. Should you choose to have this exposed and thus the belief in duality is undone, cancelling out contrasts by being inclusive is a way to go, but there are also other ways. Below are a few suggestions:
- If you do not believe to be someone definitive, but it is something you pretend to be, what you appear to be in a world of duality makes no difference. You can read about this in hack #1.3 Pretending to be someone definitive is liberation.
- Seeing everything in a world of duality as symbols of non-duality will cancel out contrasts as well because, with this perception, the apparent differences of duality are not perceived to make a difference. Read more about this in hack #2.1 Everything experienced is a symbol of life.
- The more you connect with the empty breath, the more you become indifferent to differences, so that contrasts are slowly but surely cancelled out. See hack #4, A state of not-knowing is nothing but bliss.
- Being alone together, the beholder sees no difference between what is behold and the beholder, so time and space stop making sense, wherefore there is nothing to hide there is no more than one perpetual present. See the last articles in hack #6.3 The inward-facing senses, the enlightenment of that which is one and glimpses of it or hack #7 ´Alone together´ is the key to that which is one.
NOTE: This article is part of hack #3.2 Inclusiveness is completeness.
