RS I’m glad you enjoyed exploring the content I have up on the site so far and I’m happy to hear that you found it impressive.
I totally relate to “the areas of resistance” you exhibited. The areas of resistance you exhibited, like the seeming dryness and aloneness of oneness and the question of how did duality (the universe) happen if it wasn’t part of oneness’ or God’s purpose, are very natural reactions; I had them initially myself. They are so natural that they are predictable. I stand by the position though that the only purpose of our seeming existence here in this universe is to realize that it is an impossible, illusion that never really happened and that all we have to do is accept the correction (the un-separation, the adding up to 0) by re-embracing oneness. Oneness didn’t make this, because there is no real this; oneness is unaffected by delusions. We are right now in oneness but we have temporarily pulled a blanket of duality over our eyes that blinds us from what is real. When we snap out of it, which, outside of spacetime we already have, it will be gone without a trace, without the slightest memory lingering; because it was always a complete fiction.
If we start to assign other purposes to our seeming existence here in this universe then we start to justify it and make our "Cosmic Case of Multiple Personality Disorder" seemingly real. If it is an illusion though, then all we are doing by assigning these other purposes is avoiding the correction. Assigning other purposes is fine, except that they tend to extend the journey so to speak. What I’m trying to do with the stuff on my site is formulate, using different metaphors, the no nonsense straight as can be path to oneness (reality, nirvana); there are a whole lot of longer scenic routes and also absurdly long indirect routes, but there is only one straightest line; the straightest line is what I want to really get a grip on.
When everything is going good and we’re having fun, the scenic route seems fine. But in this dualistic universe, the crap inevitably hits the fan one way or another: we get our heads chopped off, diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, you name it. And when the crap hits the fan, the scenic route doesn’t look as scenic as it did when we were having fun. In my own personal experience, coming to terms with the idea that all of this is an illusion has been very liberating. The less seriously we are able to take the illusion, the more easily we are able to have fun while we are still seemingly here.
And as far as oneness seeming dry, boring, or lonely, that is more of what I explain as the way we confuse 0 with 1. Oneness is something we can’t sit back dualistically and critique; it is a state of being, and the best, although still futile, way of explaining it, beyond just calling it a state of true love, seems to be that it is a state of creation where our creations are more and the same as opposed to the dualistic creation of this universe which render things that are less and different (separate). What we are then is an extension of oneness, which instead of extending further, at one point tried a little impossible experiment to extend inversely and thus dualistically.
Anyway, I really appreciate the feedback and it shows me the places I need to expand upon and clarify. If you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll bookmark my site, subscribed to my RSS feed, and or subscribe to my newsletter so we can continue looking at this thing from more angles.
Thanks.
