What do you think of this Reality in which we live?

Salaams to all.

this is a wide open question to be interpreted in any fashion that you think is appropriate to you.

"What do you think of this Reality in which we live?"

the question is inspired by: In Search of the Miraculous, p. 77

EVERY PHENOMENON, ON WHATEVER SCALE and in whatever world it may take place, from molecular to cosmic phenomena, is the result of the combination or the meeting of three different and opposing forces. Contemporary thought realizes the existence of two forces and the necessity of these two forces for the production of a phenomenon: force and resistance, positive and negative magnetism, electricity, male and female cells, and so on. But it does not observe even these two forces always and everywhere. No question has ever been raised as to the third, or if it has been raised it has scarcely been heard.

bonus question: what associations/thoughts etc. does this extract make for you? please discuss if you feel so inclined.

wa salaams.

    hey no fair skipping steps.

    that's an understanding that must be assembled upon laying a foundation from 1st perspective to 2nd perspective to 3rd perspective.

    I understood, during my ascension, how the concept of trinity manifests itself as the camouflage of 3-dimensional reality, but without the proper "building up" of an explanation, I can only offer clues.

    for instance, he refers to the active, the passive, and the neutralizing, but the third "force" is not the neutralizing; it's the synergizing principle.

    consider the male and female aspects coming together and then synergizing.

    (plus, "G" makes an error (in my opinion) of referring to the operating principles/assumptions as Laws.)

    -----sorry I didn't really answer your opening q, but jumped into the details instead.

    I think many are transforming this reality we live in by "magical" means.

    this is a good thing.

    -----cat stevens reminds me of you;

  • I feel very fortunate indeed not to live in this muck and mire we call Earth. It certainly is not my 'reality'. The reality where my being embraces is incomprehensible and not of this world.

    I believe there is within man, two beings, one 'ego', the other spirit. So, there is negative, positive and the middle. I truly believe within the "middle", is the core conduit in which the Spirit communicates with the Light Energy of the universe; The Source/God/Allah. Balance also resides in the middle. :D

    Peace and Blessings always...

    *"So whatever our live are like, our Buddha (true essence) nature is always there. And, it is always perfect. We say that not even the Buddhas (our true essence) can improve it in their infinite wisdom, nor can sentient beings spoil it in their seemingly infinite confusion."

    From the "Tibetan Book of Living and Dying"

    It's all in the chain, always to, back to one, certain it's the well defined already. The explanation by the rafita is like stopping to think it over back to again. Attraction, extrapolation from the consciousness. Infinity is not suitable a word here in the parallel. Nothing is miraculous among this one chain event. It's the dimensional perpetuity that intrigues the ever aware like one rafita here

    Except the experience of the self awareness, my being still finds itself living in an illusion.
