Default Nirvana is Overrated

Cool, Alex. I guess I win then. Obviously I've succeeded in chipping away at the illogical armor of YOUR theory enough to cause you to retreat back to your happy place for the time being.

I tease you a little, and do not intend to be hostile in any way. Just taking a contradictory opinion on the matter. But when I think about your youth, I realize that like most youth these days, you are inherently impatient, and said impatience has probably colored your quite brilliant concept regarding how we all came into being.

Oneness and Nirvana sound wonderful, and surely it will be an awesome experience when we all eventually come together in that state for the "ultimate group hug," if you will. All I'm saying is that in order for that ultimate state of being to be truly appreciated as such, Duality or Otherness must also be experienced from time to time, even if only in memory. Otherwise the "nirvana" would devolve into a stagnant, unchanging "indifference", I'm guessing, and we might even forget our own awareness completely.

Therefore, the dualistic universe exists -- or DID exist -- and IS there in our memory to experience as needed to remind us of how great it truly is to be ONE. They say, "the grass is always greener on the other side." Perhaps in our state of Oneness, we feel the same "longing" to experience Duality as we feel here within Duality to experience Oneness. It's an eternal pendulum that keeps everything in motion, one towards the other, creating an endless hunger for Consciousness to CHANGE, the result of which is, of course, eternal GROWTH.

Try to keep an open mind at all times. You're far too young to lock yourself into inflexible opinions and concepts, especially regarding subject matter that, from our current states of awareness, are at their best little more than an EDUCATED GUESS.

I wish you great challenges and awesome obstacles!
