Subduality

I’m not trying to be abstract in the least when I say that I am a man who ponders duality daily. The gorilla in the room and there’s no reason not to ponder such a beast. Of course, in this day of lightning global whirls, mad knowledge and girls gone wild, someone’s always willing to spill the beans and cream still rises to the top, mostly- and here I mean the best stuff the planet’s come up with so far, grokked mightily by her most grokkable- Buddha, Lao Tzu, and when you pan it down to the richest ore you get teachings that tackle and characterize the nature of actuarial tabla rasas.........the very basis of a ‘you’in the first place.

Welcome to nonduality, friend, and watch your step- in step or out of step as it might be....watch your step because, when it comes to nonduality, you’re going to need both feet.

Seems funny, I know. To talk about something like nonduality at all, one’s mind must balance on the head of a pin and dive off backwards into a crystal pool forever falling. The serum that is Truth Lives burning anguish all else beside. There is no forward gone with no way home. All comfort rides this wind of swift razors cutting through- the colors in the wings of wild birds. Altogether, collaboration equals zero, yet everyone is here. A party ensues.

People come to the party and ask. Who subdued the dual? Where did I go? Am I doubley dual when I play the fool? The nature of the Known is always- always- the Unknown, and every great Truth, as for those, take a look at its opposite- another great truth. Damn.

Thus, I propose ‘soft duality’............the new duality with half the hassle; one less problem: Big You. ‘ you’ would still exist, but no Capitals, only far side ranges of snow mountains clear and present.

Or maybe Subduality- where the Big Bulb is wholly part of the show, or even better- the show of all shows, cut to the chase, making your own movie on the slipstream of the Edge, feeling the Beauty of the Bulb all the while...........

Slipstream the currents of soft duality. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath! And getting back to that party? Duality is where all the action is baby! But, sometimes he goes too far..........ah, the Devil. Keep an eye on those car keys!

Oh and here's a bit on duality writ weird and cool.
