The duality of life and the path we walk

Date:   4/1/2005 5:16:16 AM ( 19 y ago)

We live in a field of opposing forces and our appreciation of this is our experience of life. We see this field as pairs of opposites, for example, hot and cold, up down, in out, happiness sadness, good evil and right wrong.

But usually we experience these opposites in varying degrees, which makes them more like a pendulum swinging on a fulcrum.

We then need to ask where are we?

If our awareness is based at the fulcrum, then we experience all that living brings us, as an experience of life from a non-changing and non–moving perspective.

But if our awareness is situated on the swinging end of the pendulum, we see our living and our life as ever changing and the events in life leave deep impressions on the mind.

If we condensed all the swinging of the pendulum of a life time or even from the beginning of time to the end of time into the moment of now. What we would get is a ball of pendulum swinging in all directions around us.

This would then look more like a ball of experiences around us. At this point we can see all of living's choices around us in our life.

We see that the path of life did not lead anywhere we could not have chosen to go at any moment. There was no right or wrong path but just the experience of life itself that we experienced through living.
