Holding and letting go

There is no letting go without a previous attachment. Yet no attachment is possible if things were not previously separate, unattached.

Is this the way out of anything? First, holding it fast, looking into it with intention, willingly; absorbing it, becoming one with it... Then, setting it free, becoming one with the One, surrendering ourselves and our troubles to the vastness. Beyond a particular understanding or a specific feeling.

The movement that appears is that of a cycle, holding and letting go embracing each other. Each impossible without its counterpart.

Expression or equation?

I can see the universe as a mathematical expression. Something that is. The equivalent to a number, to a given (though sometimes unknown) value.

I can also see the universe as a mathematical equation. A balance. A set of scales. A riddle that could be, perhaps, worked out.

The first view stresses the result, the second one focuses on the process. Both are beautiful.

"Light descends through 6 and ascends through 8", I was once told, by someone who had read about sacred architecture.

The expression will always point to number 1, which is closely related to the hexagon (6) because the radius of the circumference is also the side of the six-sided regular polygon.

The equation will, I believe, change in time, according to my level of understanding. I may start out with a polynomial function, go through a phase of inequations, then dive into systems with three variables... This "building up one's structure towards unity, in small steps" is very much the feature of number 8, the octagon, the octagonal support for domes in churches.

6 or 8, all is 1. And 0 is everywhere and nowhere.

Am I concentrating?

Mercury is quick. No wonder they call it quicksilver.

The feature of our attention, also known as our Mercury, is quick, too. Sometimes it can outrun us!

Attention wavers, flickering back and forth, left and right, up and down. Without us noticing, it has travelled far, and back.

Keeping one's attention pinned down to a specific reality is truly something.

Inbetween

If all consciousness is, in fact, One, but we subdivide it according to its function, and thus obtain the subdivision superconscious-selfconscious-subconscious... is there a land between these modes?

If consciousness is a continuum and not a set of separate boxes, are there borderlands between our selfconscious and our subconscious minds? More importantly: are there places between our selfconscious and our superconscious minds?

When does matter become spirit?

Matter will disgregate when left to its own devices, maximum entropy and minimum enthalpy.

Molecules tend to move in different directions when this disintegration takes place.

When consciousness is brought into the equation, the movement vectors of the atoms align and point to one and the same direction.

Thus matter becomes progressively more spiritual, always depending on the level of the consciousness that aligned the atom vectors.

The ultimate aim of matter is to consciously become a part of the One Will.

Equinox

So near the equinox, light and shadow balance.

What is the nature of evil? Can we look at its face in a mirror?

Evil has a will (but it is not the Will).

Without Good, there is no Will. Even the worst of wishes, the worst possible will, is only a path (convoluted!) back to the One Will.

Rejoice in this balanced time, a time for harvesting the sun's bounty, and love the dance between shadow and light.

Thank you.

Gratitude will soar, like the water level up a well.

Yin and yang

Suppose there is a heavenly Mother and a heavenly Father... they don't quarrel.There is a lot of information running between them, but no misunderstandings.

Every couple tends to that balance, that dance. It is potentially there, in every couple, in every two.

The yin-yang dance of the opposites, let us learn it, until we are one.
