Everything is what we perceive it to be

06 July 08

Everything is experienced because of its opposite, but what is most peculiar is that, general perception mostly perceive the one for the other – the wrong way around – upside down. It seems that, at least in this space in time, most reactions upon reactions are based on an upside down understanding of the actual opposites.

The giver is in fact really the receiver and the receiver is in fact the real giver – and the only thing that can change it around is the intention of the act. Everything is because of its opposite and begin to exist, in this way, through a choice of intention. No single act of intention exists isolated from Entirety – instead – every act of intention affects the opposites within Entirety. It is ‘intention’ that matters to Entirety itself. But still, this only matter within the perception of the existence of an opposite, which eventually is only a perception within Entirety, as Entirety is what it is – everything, and everything is Entirety.

Obviously choice is important to Entirety, as it gives unregulated existence to the opposite which is the only way to experience effect, and effect creates opportunity for choice. The only thing that induce choice is time, that exists because of the perception of the opposites within time – ‘that which was’ and ‘that which is still to be’.

Yet all of this exists only as perceptions within Entirety, but the beautiful gift it adds to Entirety is the experience of effect, that will otherwise not be possible, as effect requires opposite and Entirety can thus not affect itself.

Never reject the opposite, but rather embrace the necessity their of, while being constantly aware of the fact that it is only that what it is perceived to be. Take into account that we conclude our preservation by using our immediate senses which are as limiting as the words we speak.
