😇 - The journey never ends. We slip down reaching the beginning of the line and then we travel the baseline between what we call Birth and Death all over again. Some people call this reincarnation. The journey never ends. The trick to making the journey a joy is to understand what is happening. All things are part of the One thing, there is. Yet in this physical reality, this world of illusion, we do well to think in terms of Three Things in One, the Holy Trinity. The third Thing that’s the One Thing. In the new World of Three we will see that it is impossible to be only male of female, but the reality is, we are both. It has been said that when we stop seeing as either black or white, but that the reality is, it is both. It is said that when we stop things as black or white and start seeing shades of gray, we have grown up. It is said that when we stop insisting that a thing is either this or that, but it can be this and that, we have at last matured. It is said that when we stop insisting that a thing is either this or that, but it can be this and that, we have at last matured, we become masters. This is how we master our world. I found myself open to the possibilities, I never considered before. Not the least of these was the possibility that there might be something I don’t understand about something of which could change everything. I began seeing things as degrees of the Only Thing Only Thing There Is. I was given by God an example I could use to explain to others, we describe any given day as either hot or cold, when there either hot or cold. I began to see life in Shades of Gray. - The Most important part of the trick - You might say, but what does this have to do with our New Cultural Story? And I would answer, Everything. First let me say that the way to deal with the fact that is life on Earth is an illusory experience is not to step outside of the illusion, but to live within the illusion knowing that it is an illusion. The idea is to continue to perform the magic, but to remember that you are doing so. Or as we have it from a some more eloquent source, to be in this world but not of it. When we know that this whole experience is an illusion, we can work with the biggest illusion of all, the Illusion of Duality, in such a way that the serves us, rather than getting in our way, as we seek to the experience of life on Earth, both in our personal world as well as our collective experience. For most of us what I call our Individual Life, has been cut in two as well, with our most important group activities made up of economics and politics. Yet there’s a third aspect of our lives that complements the body, mind dyad. We have not paid enough attention to that Third Thing in our Collective lives either, which I’m going to call our culture. This Third Thing is in both cases the most the most important of all. We have not understood its importance. Only recently as the history of humankind is measured, which I am going to call our culture. This Third in our lives, which I am going to call the soul.
