| Re: T.o.N. (Theory of Nothing) Your posting reminds me of some of the first renditions of creation, Austin, where male and female principles come together to create heaven and earth, and good and evil. Of course the holy spirit being the result of the universe overcoming its evil side. There are some interpretations of God as being both good and evil, being the cause of everything, and through the death of god overcoming chaotic hell to perfect the orderly heaven.
I would say that things are not created, Fredrick, because mental constructs are not universally tangible entities. They are only abstracts perceived as physical realities by abstract minds. Sort of like not realizing your life is just a dream, because you're in it.
Gray is fine, as you said it includes all the colors of IC's color-wheel analogy, and also includes white and black which is the point I was trying to make. The pure consciousness that you suggest exists, IC, is synonymous to pure white or pure black, but pure white or black don't exist - both white and black are varying degrees of gray. Even the whitest of perceivable whites contains black, and vice-versa, which renders both as shades of gray. We can say that pure or perfect white or black can be equated like the absolute one and zero, which don't and can't exist, and I infer that state as the gateway to perfection, not as a state of eternal bliss.
Again, differentiation is required for relative states to exist, and the absolute because it is not and cannot be differentiated, does not and cannot exist. The perfect state is then relative, but is based on the perfect knowledge of the recorded information of all possible temporal consequencess and therefore can use the imperfect to eternally maintain perfection - sort of like recycling the natural to transcend nature.
Ultimately, there is the imperfect, the perfect, and the gateway to perfection which is a merge of imperfect existence with non-existence to be "born again" into perfect existence - not physical either, but a new dream beyond even the capacity of an infinite imagination, based on absolute knowledge.
I then understand the buddhistic concept of nirvana to be transitional, and only a bridge that has the capacity to marry all religions into a religion of no religion. All religions, being based on ego trips and/or manifesting destinies of the powers that be, are unnecessary. |
