The path I am walking makes it difficult to put into words my experience of reality, because words are mere signposts to the thing. But what I have experienced is a glimpse of transcendence of duality - away from the polarization of the world of form. |
I admire you style and conviction. I keep getting dragged into thinking polarization is a magic bullet for being more conscious.
I understand you have no interest in convincing anyone else of your opinion, or putting down Steve's ideas - but what exactly about polarization doesn't fit? I am in the boat of not seeing how polarization provides a path to being more conscious. I just don't see it and keep getting wound up that I need to chase this idea. I would rather see a model that shows self interest as a begining and world interest as the target.
Anyway, no need to respond, JJH - just curious of where you are coming from because I'm probably coming from a similar point of view. Although my personal approach is finally getting some expanded awareness while doing Tai Chi - which has ying/yang at the core and allows one to feel the mutual arising nature of duality in the body. Not too sure that it's so much Tai Chi because it's easy to just learn Tai Chi as like dance moves - it could just as well have been other deep mediation practice I suppose.
