philosophy or senseless babble. you decide. since there are always choices in the dualistic world.
[ duality/polarity is not "cool" anymore, irony/paradox is the thing now. but what is there when there is 'non-duality'? ha! . . . how do you crack this system? -by asking this have we already lost the game...? for once it is spoken of it is lost eh? ]

It's funny to look at what my brain was farting back in 2012. I've mentally/philosophically gone through a lot in the last 5 years or so. Since I'm not typically spiritually-sensitive and I'm more science-based I tend to be more mental and philosophical. but science has truly helped me understand the spiritual world including faith. And then all my years of being the philosopher that I naturally am have helped me to understand existence from a different angle. I see so many things coming together, it's making more and more sense every day (yet at the same time there will always be ups and downs and I am really just a baby still. Life will get more real I'm sure but it's all good).
This note that I made back in 2012 on Facebook (and similar notes I had made through the years) reminds me of how everything is ultimately all the same. Everything has a place and everything is tied together. These same 'conclusions' that I came to through my crazy thought-trains in 2012 are essentially the same as those made by so many spiritual/religious philosophies. It's comforting to see these synchronicities and know that I am sort of on the right path (in context of my personal truth, everyone needs to find their own truth for themselves). And through all the ins and outs of my understandings so far I seem to always come back to basically the same place. There is no real name for this place but the pathways are all different. And perhaps they all only bring us right back to where we started, except we have a mental story of why or how, which ironically becomes almost obsolete once we've realized that we "always had the power".

On a deeper, more specific note: When I just now went back to re-read my old notes, I was reminded of the teachings (or non-teachings) of Mooji (Sri Mooji / Moojiji / etc). I have recently been listening to a lot of youtube videos while at work and some of the videos were recordings of Satsang with Mooji. His philosophy is definitely based in non-duality and shiva-self/christ-consciousness. His messages are both disturbing and comforting in the best sort of ways. For me, Mooji's philosophy and messages represent that "conclusion", or zero point, that I have noticed in so many other stories and religions and philosophies about existence. Through the years I have run into other people who represent this same sort of philosophy for me, people such as Stanislav Grof and even Drunvalo Melchizedek. These specific people, and many others, seem to understand the idea of the cosmic game and shiva-self that is represented specifically in Kashmir Shaivism. The idea that we are all universal consciousness experiencing itself in all its dynamic nature from seemingly-separate points of awareness known as human beings and plants and animals etc. And this is how everything in existence can exist at the same time, in "contradition" to each other, yet have their place and function in the cosmic game. If you would like to look at this further you can google these things and people for yourself, it's definitely interesting stuff, and maybe it will help you find some clarity for yourself. Or maybe it will only confuse you, but that's okay. It took me a long time to get through my initial confusion and frustration when I first stepped out of duality and into the world of non-duality (if that's even possible, but you know what I mean ...maybe). And I am always learning how to live with this new reality. Having any specific values or political ideologies (which are simply attachments to the human ego self within this 3D hologram everyday life) ultimately just make for constant lessons on how to not take anything too seriously, because it's all part of the cycle of existence and everything has it's place. Don't be afraid of duality, it's just part of the play, part of the ultimate non-duality that we originated from. Therefore it is divine in it's own way. So we can embrace it as we ought to embrace all of life, but not letting it get to our heads, because it's just an impermanent dimension of this multidimensional construct we call existence.
