Night and Day, Day and Night
The two-in-one concept runs throughout our lives, and the universe…the weather.
So post memes, gifs, experiences, music with the following concepts of opposites, or personal examples, and chat with friends.
You cannot have day without night. The day has the sun and the night has the moon, and so you have light and darkness. Moonlight and sunlight.
Philosophy divides our experiences and emotions into ten ‘worlds’, states, from a hell state to the highest state…enlightenment. We can all reach enlightenment, but we cannot be God.
But man makes many gods; money could be one, greed another. Each ‘world’ has negative and positive, and is divided into 1000 realms, negative and positive. There are ten worlds, and many realms in each.
1. is a hell state….time goes slowly, and there is suffering or pain. Could be the dentist?
2, 3, and 4 are the three poisons:
2. Anger. You may wish to protect your child, but you may not be able to without anger or skills.
3. Greed.
4. Ignorance
These are the three negatives all humans possess. We go in and out of all emotions. The universe does too.
Anger can be…power, not seeing another person’s point of view, temper.
Greed can be wanting more and more, or more positively, it will make us improve our circumstances, or strive for something. It’s classified as hunger, but you would not enjoy your dinner, if not hungry.
Ignorance is not only not having knowledge, but could be cutting down trees, polluting the environment.
5. Rapture…a false happiness, the sun is shining, you are in love, you receive a bill you can’t pay: From rapture you fall to hell.
6. Then the next state is tranquillity, but it’s non-productive. e.g., sitting on a beach, we all love to enjoy doing nothing sometimes.
7. Learning…that’s hard work…
8 Absorption…knowledge at your fingertips.
Helping others, for whatever reason, is a high state. Some jobs like nursing, or carrying someone’s shopping, or today I showed a tourist around my friend’s house free of charge as a guide. Made someone’s day.
With all the good qualities, you are partially enlightened, or ultimately an enlightened being?
The highest state.
10.ENLIGHTENMENT!
You may disagree with this philosophical view. Do say if you disagree with the analysis.
