Understanding duality and non-duality
WHAT IS DUALITY AND NON-DUALITY?
Self Liberation through Seeing with Naked Awareness
A teaching by Padma Sambhava from the 8th century
Understanding the difference between duality and non-duality
Understanding that the Christ mind is truly beyond dualistic judgments and does not divide humanity into those who are worthy and those who are not
The duality consciousness turns life into suffering because you are creating your own opposition
The duality consciousness creates problems, and in an attempt to solve them, other problems are created, and this builds layers upon layers until it seems so complex that no solution is possible. Yet there is always a solution, if people are willing to reach beyond the duality consciousness and gain a new perspective.
There is a higher form of victory than the dualistic victory that requires you to defeat an external enemy, namely by killing or conquering other people. It is time to realize that the true victory is a spiritual victory, namely that of rising above duality.
Your perspective on life IS your life—until you realize that you are more than your perspective, that you are more than any perspective, than any sense of self created to facilitate your expression, your experience, in the world of form.
If you do not understand how your perception can become a closed mental box, you will be trapped in an endless spiral of reacting to your own reactions, to the reactions of other people. Everything is a reaction to something. How will you ever be free of this? How will YOU ever be free of YOUR reactionary spiral?
THE WAY OUT OF DUALITY
Understanding the true – balanced – way of Christ and Buddha is the key to the spiritual people fulfilling their role in this age
How do you want to live the rest of this embodiment? The question you must ask yourself is this: “Will I continue to play the games, the myriad, innumerable games that can be played with words? Will I continue to seek to get the last word among men, or will I reach for the ultimate Word of God, that I may be one with the Christ Consciousness?"
In a nutshell: The secret principle behind all true spiritual teachings and the master key to manifesting inner peace
Understanding the true reason why we need to look at the beam in our own eye and why what we see as a flaw in others, we also have within our own consciousness. The key to overcoming the tendency to judge ourseves and others.
Do you still want the experience of owning something, owning a particular experience, a particular sense of self?” And by so doing, also being owned by your own creation.
The central dynamic of the path: when you have not taken responsibility for yourself, you are not willing to question your current level of consciousness, your current perception. Thus, you will be trapped in a closed circle of reacting instead of acting from the point of stillness within.
The way to bear witness to your truth is to always remain peaceful inside yourself
THE FALL INTO THE DUALISTIC STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Understanding the central dynamic behind the fall and how a small number of fallen beings caused many to fall by exposing them to the energy of the accuser of the brethren. We are now in a cycle where there is a great opportunity for freeing ourselves and the entire planet from this energy and thus taking a major step toward the Golden Age.
Understanding the concept of bliss that is beyond contrast and how many lifestreams fell into duality out of curiosity
How the fall started and how the power elite was born
The linear mind is born from and depends upon the duality between the knower and the known, between the one who is perceiving and the object that is being perceived
Only the insanity of the ego can make people believe that they need to compensate for the violence of the past before peace can manifest in the present
It is wise to realize that God never gave you – nor your ego, although it thinks so – the authority or the task of judging other people as worthy to go to heaven or worthy to go to hell
