Since we are shape-shifters, meaning a soul that has taken on a body again, then our true reality is not of this world. I love the way CWG explained the duality (of this plane) compared to the triune (of the other side) and how so many people get caught up in the duality. It makes complete sense to me, that I can let go of this body and still continue to "live", so how much of anything on this planet is actually real or truly needed? What is it I really need to survive? Nothing. I will survive even when I let go of this body and this life as Kayla.
In case you're wondering what this whole duality/triune thing is about, I'll talk a little about it to give you an idea. Of course, to understand all of it fully, I'd suggest reading the trilogy! Duality would be the up and down, hot and cold, here and there, tall and short type of thing. And that's what we find here on this plane. Where as the other would speak in terms of mind, body and spirit or Father, Son and Holy Ghost or subconscience, conscience and super-conscience type of things. Most people live day to day life within the duality with never a thought of the other.
But we are spiritual beings who have taken on a body in this duality/reality so as to experience more of what we cannot experience if we were not in this plane. Yet it doesn't make it a true thing just because it seems to be. And that's what I recognize all around me, people have let go of the concept that they are a spirit using a body and instead have this illusion that they are their body. So they focus on everything that's about this duality, judge it, need it, suffer from it and so on. That's what I admire about the Buddha is how he taught how desires of the body are just an illusion that causes suffering. How true. If we believe we need anything to be alive or happy then that can sure create what we feel is suffering once it's not available to us. That's why I'm slowly peeling away all the unhealthy desires I've built into my life. That's one way I disagree with Buddha, I believe in a healthy sex life and feel I can still reach mastery.
Words to think about, hot is no worse than cold and tall is no better than short. These are all a judgement about something that may be different for others. I love this example, on a summers day you may call 46 degrees outside a cold day and yet on a winters day you may call 46 degrees warm out! So I say this is all an illusion and judging life doesn't change it, it is what it is. The question is who are you in relation to it? Who do I choose to be now that I see what IS? Any questions? Comments?
Oh yeah, hello and welcome Israel!
