Definition: A Life Static has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no location in space or time. It has the ability to postulate and perceive." Early metaphysical sources, and in the last decade, research in quantum physics has provided much more insight into the nature of the Static and particularly the ability to perceive. As stated by Erwin Schroedinger, founder of quantum mechanics, " Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier doesn't exist." (Schroeding, What is Life? and Mind and Matter, Cambridge University Press, 1969, p. 139) Werner Heisenberg, another pioneer in the field concluded that "the common division of the world in to subject and object, inner world and outer world, body and soul is no longer adequate and leads into difficulties." (Heisenberg, The Physicists Conception of Nature, Harcourt Brace.) Schroedinger added to this that these shortcomings can only be avoided by abandoning dualism. Thus this 'new look of physics' has abandoned illusory division between subject and object, mind and body, mental and material, energy and matter. These conclusions can be of great importance in clarifying paths of evolvement, for the fall from fully realised OT, spiritual, or godlike state could be said to be brought about viewing what is a unified whole or oneness as a duality. Thus, it is how the life static perceives self and existence, whether as a subject viewing objects or life forms as seperate existences, or with an awareness of the oneness of subject and object, which determines his/her state of evolvement. Many of us have experienced this on one level in applying the GPM tech and line plots. From this we recognise how eliminating the duality, term-opterm, by which we have viewed problem areas of existence can eliminate the problem.The more we become able to perceive situations and experience from a non dual viewpoint and become aware of the connectedness, the more harmony we achieve and the more effective we are. The Real Self Knows the Universe by Being It Those interested in philosophy and religions will find confirmation of the importance of non dual perception in many of the earlier records. In the Gospel of St. John, "They said to HIM: Shall we then, being children, enter the Kingdom? Jesus said to them: When you make the two one, and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner and the above as the below, and when you make the male and the female into a single one, then shall you enter the Kingdom." (The Gospel according to Saint John, Harper, 1959) Similarly from Mahayan Buddhism, "Truth is the self-realization inwardly experienced by the wise through their non-dual insight, and does not belong to the domain of words, duality or intellect... The world is nothing but mind... All is Mind." Or as Ramana Marashi explained, "Absolute subjectivity is one with its universe of knowledge, so that you -are- in fact what you observe. The real self knows the universe by being it." Thus a workable technology for evolvement could be said to be based on assisting a person increase his perception in a non dualistic way. Perception in this sense is to become one with. Based on this premise, what has to be 'as-ised' is the compulsion to perceive existence dualistically as a subject viewing an object rather than perceiving by becoming one with. In other words, everything one observes is no other than you who are observing. Thus a primary dualism to be overcome is that of perceiving existence as subject vs. object, i.e. self and other, male and female, inside and outside, heaven and earth, organism and environment, (And perhaps clear and not clear, IVy Ed.) etc. It is this primary dualism that creates space, the 'perceived' space between subject and object. The secondary dualism is that of being vs. nullity, or of life and death from which we create time. Life is ordinarily taken as something that begins at birth and ends at death, but from a metaphysical viewpoint, only the present moment exists. As the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emersen explained in his essay of Self Reliance, "Those roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; They are for what they are; There is no time for them. There is simply the rose and it is perfect in every moment of it's existence... But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reversed eyes laments the past, or heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time." Integrating various approachs A third dualism to be overcome is that of mind vs body. They are not separate, but one. Successful therapy must include both. Another dualism is of self vs. Ego (Ego is the 'PR' construct of self.) The technology of Scientology provides useful approaches and procedures to address some of these dualisms. Individuals using some of the earlier Route 1 processes in "The Creation of Human Ability" (L.Ron Hubbard, 1954.) were able to move outside of some dualities for a time, and become one with the universe. Because they had not fully dealt with other dualisms, including layers of social and ego dualistic conditioning, they often didn't sustain this state. However some remember it longingly. For a broader understanding of approaches to achieving stable state of Static, and non dual perception, I highly recommend reading the paperback books, "The Spectrum of Consciousness" $10.00 and/or "No Boundary" $13.00 by Ken Wilbur, published by Quest Books. Wilbur does an outstanding job of putting the various approaches to evolvement and enlightenment in perspective. Many of these have much to offer, and various ones deal with different levels of dualism and evolvement. ================ http://www.clearing.org ==================== Sat Aug 12 21:13:13 EDT 2000 ftp://ftp.lightlink.com/pub/archive/ivy/iv-05-05.txt Send mail to archive@lightlink.com saying help -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Homer Wilson Smith The paths of lovers Art Matrix - Lightlink (607) 277-0959 cross in Internet Access, Ithaca NY homer@lightlink.com the line of duty. http://www.lightlink.com
