All created in pairs: The meaning behind duality - Part 1
"Glory be to God who created all the pairs
both from what the earth grows and from themselves and from nothing
which they do not know "
(Translations of Q.S. Yaa Siin, Surah 36, verse 36)
Duality (in englishnya Duality)? What does that mean? Just look at the article above, there are twin numbers, letter 36 verse 36. Hue he he, duality is the same as polarity (in englishnya Polarity). It means that everything is in pairs. Let's look at this life. There are men, there are women. There is noon, there is night. There is good, there is evil. There is a top, there is a bottom. There's a fat, skinny one. There is a long, short there. There are rich, there are poor. There's a boss, there's a subordinate. There's an outside, it's inside. There are male, there are females. There is life, there is dead. There I am, there he is. And so on, and so forth. Is not that what we "see" in this life?
The question is simple, why the design of life should be like that? Why must there be duality? To be honest answer that question is quite difficult. It is difficult in the sense that every answer I ask will have the consequence of a much deeper question. And the edges will touch the divinity area again which is very potential to cause debate.
Hemmm, but I dare to answer that question, with all the risk of course. Go maaaas.
One thing we must realize is that the universe of life in it is the appearance of God. I repeat once more, the universe is not the same as God. Everything is a vision of God.
Life is the appearance of God. So the consequence of the nature of life itself is the spark of God's attributes. What is one of God's characteristics? One of them is the DWITUNGGAL character that all of the "we take the opposite" attributes join in harmony in the divine essence.
For example, God is not a man, not a woman nor a sissy. But the man and the woman came from God. This is what I call the DWITUNGGAL character.
The duality is essentially one. Like a coin there must be two sides. But both sides are part of the same coin. I take an example of duality day and night. We consider these two things the opposite.
Is it possible that day and night can run at the same time? Can! As I write this note it's noon. But it must be in the other half of the world. Does not that prove that day and night happen at a time? If you do not believe we must do a very large experiment. That is renting a NASA space shuttle. Let's go into space. And we shall see that on this earth day and night go hand in hand.
In training I usually use the MOBIOUS STRIP game to show that duality is pseudo. Two things are actually one!
So, realize that with the duality in this life we are actually invited to see the "face of God" (in the quotes you know) and to know the nature of God DWITUNGGAL.
