After the movie I went into the kitchen. I love that place since I found me a 'spot' sitting on the counter that faces the window over the sink. Sipping hot tea, with my ipod on, I look down upon the land below...my apartment is 22 flights up, so the scene is construction sites and the big rigs look like small caterpillars roaming about. Right now they are building the foundation of two high rises, so I see welders lights all dispersed over the land area, its a really neat/abstract vision and I like to meditate there.
So, I began thinking about positive/negative. I initially saw it as a dual counter-balance. Like black and white, up and down, north and south, hot and cold, etc. When thinking of such dual relationships its assumed they are in equal measure...that is...one is not more powerful than the other. Hot is not more powerful than cold for example. Its easy to conclude then that this is the case for positive/negative. But last night I was shown a different view. I was shown that 'positive' composes 99% of experiential phenomena and 'negative' is 1%.
How can this be?! Well, first I will say...there are a lot of dual comparisons that are inaccurate. Sun and Moon. The Sun is not the opposite of the Moon,it can be, in metaphor or poetic vision, but truly the Sun is a star among many and the moon is a satellite that orbits the earth and there are others that orbit other planets. So rather there has been made an association of opposites. Cat and Dog, another one. Cats are one species among many and dogs are another among many. They are not true opposites, just in poetic vision they are made that way.
I say that positive and negative have been made into poetic opposites. And this prevents us from realizing just how small negativity is, and how large positivity is. Last night I was shown how life is bursting with life at all times. Molecules exploding with potential and power. When something 'dies' it does not leave, rather it merges with the infinite, who know exactly what occurs but "all is life within life" as Poe said in Eureka. Life is bursting with life! So utter positive and indestructable! Yet humans have been trained to look away...to look away from that expansive 'ocean' of freedom.
Negative is a AP assemblance. Lets say I am rinsing some white rice out in a bowl. As I'm rinsing it with water, I notice a grey pebble in the rice. The bowl contains 99% rice, 1% pebble. My eyes direct to the pebble. "Oh there's a pebble, I must get it out, it will contaminate the rice, I must remove the unwanted thing." That's the negative, its small and insignificant, but draws attention to it like a funnel and makes itself appear bigger. This is also the power of the FI, its only power. Rem,ember DJ called it a gnat? Gnats are small pesky things. Infinitesimal but made large via attention and focus..in short OBSESSIONS. And obsessions can be overcome by focus, intent, discipline and practice...constantly turning away from it, constantly looking to the positive till it overwhelms us with its power, becasue it truly IS power, is now is here and always was here.
Junpei's container of water (how he perceived it) was the negative, everything else was the positive. "Everything else" was the potential. But only is that everything didn't become singled out like the water was. We have to make choices on where to focus our attention, this determines out course. We focus, and then learn to release. The only true unyielding embrace should be for the Spirit, the Nagual, for it is abounding Freedom, endless Power and continually manifesting positivity, bursting life. The Nagual is also the void. It is not lack...it is nothing. You can never name it, never!
