Contact decides
…. and makes real ≈
true.* Contact is
made with an ‘other’, that is to say, with what is different. What is ‘other’
or different is fundamentally a ‘No!’ In information transmission systems’
(to wit, IT) terms a ‘No’ is represented by the digit/icon 1. Two 1’s (or
relative No’s) collide at the capacity of c2 and which makes both
No’s real ≈ true.
A ‘Yes’ is
equivalent to the zero (i.e. the icon 0, being equivalent to sameness), and
which does not offer contact. A ‘Yes’ person remains fundamentally undecided,
unless the ‘Yes’ is, or leads to a ‘No’. Hence, “The right Way Is the untrodden. It becomes the wrong Way When you’ve stepped on it.”
The Split Man
is falling apart, indeed tearing himself apart because he can’t decide, and
so cannot begin to realize a ‘no’. Unable to create (or make contact with) a
new ‘no’, hence a different option, he cannot become real (≈ true).** In other words, the Split Man doesn’t have a
dream to make true/real. He has not decided a future for which to sacrifice
himself.*** He is trying to survive on the easy and
pleasing option of a previous (meaning a ‘yes’ position, then productive, now
unproductive) auto-pilot (meaning biological self-regulation, to wit the Bio-Nav) setting.
Now he needs to make the painful choice to leave his comfort zone and upgrade
to a new, more productive setting (to wit, to a new, i.e. ‘other’ goal as
dream to be made real ≈ true). All of which means that he (or she) has
to switch from auto-pilot to manual control in sudden turbulence threatening
survival fitness. In short,
the Split
Man’s creative thrust (Sanskrit: lingam) remains sheathed/undescended. Therefore he can’t perform
his basic (hence divine, so Vedanta) function (at about 30) and which is to
create. That’s killing him. More about the Bio (-logical) Nav (-igation) system *…. Sanskrit: sat **… ‘From contact arises name and body,
consciousness and so on.’ So said the
Buddha 2500 years ago. ***… Up to about 30 he was a sucker, that is to say, he was a child sucking the best
from life. Now he must become a spitter (and
grow up), and give of himself to the world. The transition from ‘sucker’ to ‘spitter’ is onerous and painful, at least for some. |
