THIS.... all this, is non-dual, all- inclusive, no-thing is excluded,Fredrick:
And don't worry: I am not here to force a choice on you (and even if I did you have made it clear you view the universe as non-dual, so don't worry).
IT is all encompassing, all pervading,
ONENESS ......one without a second.
There is no-one to make a choice otherwise.
For who is there to make that choice?
IT is self evident in the SEE-in
The 'apparent' 'i' made no choice, i became or was apparently 'aware' that i was ''awareness'' itself and no-thing else,Fredrick:
All I want to show is that you made a choice how to view the experience we are all in. As you describe, you have paid close attention to everything that has happened in your life, and based on all your experiences you have reached some important conclusions.
That wasn't really a choice, it was a state of being.
The 'i' became aware that 'i' was the eternal witness to all ''things'' arising and fading,
including these fingers typing these words.
Single or multiple ideas are only ideas/concepts 'arising' in awareness.Fredrick:
In my youth, I made the decision to accept everything as true unless proven otherwise. That means I did not make a choice whether it is a single idea or multiple ideas we live in.
There 'appears' to be multiplicity,
superimposition allows for this.
In reality there is only BEINGNESS/ AWARENESS ''appearing''
as every-thing and no-thing.
Yes, both subject and object are ONE and the same.Fredrick:
The interesting part: I come to more or less the same conclusions, either way.
Yes, the children were entrusted into my care,Fredrick:
Normally, we are too busy in our lives to even notice that something as subtle as a choice exists. As you mention, raising 4 kids and holding down a teaching job is very time consuming, and you will have learned that it is important to set priorities.
it was my instinctive duty to be their carer.
My job was part of this story, it was to help pay for their up-keep.
So yes, the children were a priority.
There was never any multiple ideas in my mind.Fredrick:
The choice of one idea vs. multiple ideas is definitively not a priority. If you figure out that things work one way then why go through all the trouble to follow the other route as well, and ending up with something that is pretty close to the same information you already had.
My personal task, was to play the cards that were laid out on my table.
There was only ever one way of doing things, as far as i was aware.
There are no other perspectives for me to see.Fredick:
But if you have the time (maybe the kids are older and you have more time), it may be fun to see things from other perspectives.
As far as i am aware, i am already playing out my role in life.
The 'i' became aware of myself as being complete in every moment,
that 'i' am a unique spark of the divine light,
expressing, and being a part of the experiencing of this life.
Appearing..... in this ever present now.
I agree with your overall analogy.Fredrick:
And to use this example further: there are only an x-amount of ways to fold a towel; the options are not limitless. But there is more than one way to achieve the same result (though the folds themselves are different).
I don't think it is up to 'us' 'per se' to decide what is limitless or not.
We are nothing but pure energy surfing the mystery of every moment, completely unknown, and yet known in the instant, one with the knowing. Ever unchanged.
Yes The Multiplicity of ideas ''arise'' in this conception. To no-one, 'apparently'Fredrick:
My overall conclusion: a single person can have multiple ideas.
