Eureka, my zen.

Input from latest meditation:  I am not angry from the injustice of my people.  For it is unjust, that those who would wield a weapon against their own brother, exist in such a way that this act is admissible.  How he has suffered in his soul, to take a life rather than surrender himself to inner peace.  Where is the stillness?  It is within.

This stillness cannot be forced.  It can only occur when one is ready.

All people take their own path to the stillness.  Your path is not mine, yet we share that knowingness.

All things to come and all that has come to pass, creates a circle.

Within this circle, two energies exist.  Yin and Yang.  They are light and dark, male and female.

When the energies are in conflict, there will be much trouble within–within individuals resides the choice to engage in conflict or neutralize to balance out.

The greater the conflict, the more light and dark become a shade of gray.  The gray area is where one can see that the light and dark are reflecting each other.  Once the nature of duality is realized, the conflict ceases and the two energies regain their stable state of being.

Duality and Oneness swing like a pendulum.  Take time out of the equation: duality and oneness are in perfect harmony.  Only by experiencing time, are we able to be aware of both duality and oneness at once.  One must be aware to experience time and time only exists if one is aware.

A Glimpse: Toggling Between Object and Trajectory

Trajectory and Object.

I can only accurately focus on one of those at one given time. So what will I choose to focus on?  If I focus on the object, I will learn more about what approaches me.  If I focus instead on it’s trajectory, I can determine a course of action.

So I focus on the object at first.

What is this? I ask myself, as my neurons fire across networks to access all knowledge and experience I’ve ever had, in order to understand what this object is.

At a quick glimpse, all I know is that an object is moving near me. I examine it to comprehend what is happening.  If it is a mug falling, I try to “save it” by grabbing for it.  If it is a ball, I may decide to catch it.  If I did not see it in time, I am afraid of it and I move out of the way.  In order to know what actions I am to perform, I must see where it is going.  Since I cannot see the future, I must rely on remembering where the object’s previous point in time and space was just before I perceive where it is right now in space and time.

To accurately react to this object, I must toggle between the object and it’s trajectory in order for my brain to process it as a whole.  Perception and action are balanced in order to experience the whole of reality.

How one reacts to this is entirely up to the individual, regardless of the influence of external factors.  If one is to be aware, it is a chosen path and so it will be.  If one chooses to lose oneself in the whole, then it will be.  There is no right or wrong way to be, only differences in perception and action.  This creates a push and pull existence, known as duality.
