It would appear humans (with intellects active) have the unique capacity to carve something up so as to impel there to be opposites. Take many religions -- by the time the originator's of these pass on there are hundreds of sects or groups -- pointing back to the same thing. In what ways does Nature benefit by this? Is this merely the Law of Polarity expressing itself, or does the Unguided intellect exist in want of a Higher Vantage?
As a child it was an amazing event to realize things of themselves were not "what we named them" but such was an abstraction placed upon the thing. In such a way we do the same with information and associated groupings of sources of these Teachings. Were it within humankind's own recourse would not the Universe itself offer all the knowledge attainable?
When one transcends the intellect (Land of strong polarity) can they then hang their hat on Universal Principles -- which like tributaries streaming down a mountain -- point to One True Source of Aspiration. At what point does there appear ONE super conscious Source where before our average day we can look around and see it pouring thru the eyes ALL people? Where is the River we seek to swim in, who's silvery flow allows us the measurable transcendence toward a state of being which lives above prejudice, vanity, and identification with that which would "carve up" God's world?
If there WERE in one's awareness only ONE THING which all things come from -- only one thing with which to deal -- only one thing with which to come into resonance with via ethical standards -- would things not become extremely simple, and the effort placed most upon where best effects are gained? That of self analysis, reason, and modification of intention? All the complication would seem to deter an accurate and emphatic charge toward that which is worthy of consideration. Not to diminish diversity nor the various expressions of Teaching, (groups, genders, hims and hers) but to really place hand upon tiller so as to concentrate upon the leading line which Nature put into our hands whether we like it or not -- whether we realize it or not -- and whether or not we come into crystal clear cognition that how we handle that one line -- how we deal with the One thing back of all -- will determine the outcome along the way AND it will determine what we see in all those opposites "out there."
When there is no longer any out there and its all an expression of a single thing which is reflective "in here" then we make the modifications which have lasting impact upon all that we perceive -- for in the end we are that which we See... Then greatest simplification would seem to begin to untangle regarding all the various expressions of knowledge "of the world" as we plow back into the Earth from which all seeds must be planted, incubate and be Born...
