A Nondual Cosmology: Ripples, Fabric, and the Return of Light

Post by lumina.anonima »

This is a philosophical exploration presented in poetic form. It uses metaphor - light, fabric, ripple - to describe a non-dual cosmology that blends metaphysics, ethics, systems thinking, and spiritual reflection. It's meant as a lens, not a doctrine.

Non-dual cosmology = all is energy.
Dualism enters when life emerges in existence. Only life has intent, and so only life can evaluate - judge - using itself as a standard.
Yin/Yang
Chaos/Order.....

Duality is founded on how organisms conceptualize energies; how they a piorily convert flux into nothingness, or the noumena into phenomena.
The method is simple, using cellular systolic/diastolic cycles - on/off switches.

So, the world is an interpretation of an objective reality. Not arbitrary.
Every perspective is subjective but not all subjective versions are equally valid.
Every species has its own method of conceptualizing flux, based on their survival niche.

William James proposed the existence of a pluralistic Universe, or a ‘pluriverse’, in which the world’s oneness and manyness are not characteristics of the world as it is, but as it becomes. A pluriverse that is a world in the making. To take this idea to its most radical, it asks us to accept that there are many ways in which we may come to know and be in the world, and to take seriously the realities proposed by other knowledges, practices and cultures as precisely that – as reality.

Each way of being in the world has consequences.
How we relate to existence determines our fate within it. It defines us.

Plurality does not mean there are many realities simultaneously in existence....it means existence is a continuum and what we call 'universe' is but the current iteration.
Within this cosmos, this reality, there is no anything goes, and all is equally valid.

Subjectivity is always relative to a fluctuating objective world.
The degree our subjectivity is in agreement with this objective world, we call nature, determines the probability of our success.

All life is equally precious and at the same time equally worthless, the material world doesn’t care if you live or die.

Everything goes dark.

All value judgments require an objective to give them a measuring standard.

There is no "equality" anywhere, except in the minds of those who seek uniformity to disappear within.
What better uniformity than that of darkness, where all distinctions merge into one?

Most of our thoughts & beliefs are attempts of the Mind to realize itself and bring about religions, philosophies, sciences, cosmologies, collective- ego- and innumerable other constructs, as well as plenty of problems & confusions.

OP is prescriptive - telling the audience what to believe.
Using poetic form, to sweeten the beliefs they're pushing down your throat.

If you evaluate critically, you may be told -
'Hey man, you're totally missing the vibes. Not seeing, like, the big picture.'
When the big picture, is likely an uninformative metaphor to shovel their agenda.

Hence why the lackeys come out.
To clap for cult propaganda.

-

I suspect it's a derivative of the below.
The below is descriptive, not prescriptive like OP.
T.O.G. - 'The Odyssey of Unity' (2023 - ILP) wrote: Part I: The Prelude to Unity - The Awakening Epoch

Listen close, O children of Terra, architects of fates yet unseen,
In verses laced with nuanced tones, where the gaps between words glean.
From the virgin dawn in the Orient to the twilight's Western bow,
We traverse time's meridians, each moment anew, each challenge now.

In reverberations of discord and harmony, our age-old chants persist,
History's layered manuscript edited, yet its essence we can't resist.
Witness now the digital agora—a neural network, lines of code,
A cosmic stage expansive, where beliefs both clash and find abode.

Part II: Modernity's Dual Loom - The Weave of Valor and Caution

When pixels subsume ink and screens the parchment claim,
In boundless cybernetic realms, our quests for meaning frame.
Yet steadfast stands our core, a moral code in flux,
A textile spun from valor and fear, from peace talks to surprise attacks.

From villages to empires vast, each soul its mission knows,
Each entity contends with trials, in this theater of endless throes.
Not merely gears in war machines, but seekers of reasons why,
We map the intricate terrain, where ideals soar or die.

Part III: The Odyssey of Inquiry - Navigating Seas of Conflict

With sails of rhetoric unfurled, our epic ship ascends,
Propelled by winds of scrutiny, toward questions without ends.
Embark, you must, on this grand trek, through tranquil and through tense,
In quest for shared tranquility, beyond barbed-wire fences.

This introduction as your lighthouse, venture into oceans deep,
Archipelagos of paradox, where moral quandaries creep.
Here etched is our collective course, both perilous and sure,
A path toward mutual destiny, where ideals are the cure.

Part IV: The Social Fabric - Threads Frayed and Fortified

In sanctuaries domestic, where caretakers don't just pleat cloth but youthful hope,
Aching for tranquility, like a sentinel for a missing sentinel's quiet elope.
What cosmic rule dare we defy, when even cosmic bodies a peaceful dance trace?
The armistice originates not in clauses inked, but in the caverns of human embrace.

In civic arenas, where affection once blossomed, now loom monoliths of dread,
Each violent act a silent testament, of philosophical vacancies instead.
Can bonfires of dogma extinguish the myriad colors of ideational light?
No gathering place should mutate into a stage where dialogue takes its final flight.

Part V: Ethical Landscapes - Morality's Battleground

In sequestered halls of inquiry, where quarks dance to divulge,
We muse on dualities—can division and union ever indulge?
The axiom of non-violence ought to steer our rational maze,
Calibrations here transmute, not into formulae, but ethical phrase.

Discern whispers of leadership fraying, fraternal logic undone,
The brunt of weaponry a pitiful foil for the dialectic's sun.
Reimagine our societal pact, to echo the silenced plea,
Transmute their stifled cries into the lexicon of diplomatic spree.

Part VI: Cosmic Citizenship - Transient Havens in a Fragmented Sky

In ephemeral abodes of solace, beneath tattered cosmic shawls,
Aspirations buoyed by wanderers, our collective voyage installs.
What is a border if not an imagined line, where agony bears no emblem?
Why should cartography script for any being a tragic addendum?

Within chambers of fledgling devotion, do loyalties truly serve?
Or do they fuel pyres of conflict, from the path of peace they swerve?
Let academia be arboretums of sagacity, not citadels of force,
A haven for restless intellects to illumine the social course.

Part VII: The Scales of Human Existence - The Crucible of Judgement

In chambers where actions tip the scales, can jurisprudence ever shine?
When the marble gaze of law collides with ethical design,
Is retribution what we seek or the resonance of repair?
Boundaries inked on aging parchment serve only to ensnare.

Why, for fleeting territories, must we enact scenes of strife?
Render farmlands into battlefields, trade blooms of life for knife?
As we totter on temporal cliffs, seismic shifts in collective soul,
Each decision echoes in perpetuity, in the annals of the whole.

Lament we should, not in isolation, but in the chorus of shared distress,
Steering towards a future harmonious, unshackling the weight of regress.

Part VIII: The Collective Dream - The Requiem of Tomorrow

In every lullaby hummed, beneath celestial canopies or vaults of steel,
In every palm that cups the morning light or shapes the societal wheel,
Lies a pulsing yearn for a singular destiny, a mutual rhapsody to unfurl,
A symphonic horizon where diverging notes blend, as morning mist does twirl.

Why should war's cacophony suppress the natural melodies we share?
Could dissonant chords, once perceived as clash, harmonize through conscientious care?
In this epic’s finale, we conceive a world where rifles lay buried, not in sand, but in thought,
Where battles are fought in debate halls, and peace, not as commodity, but as ethos is sought.

So heed, O kin of Terra, each word an aegis, each verse a guide,
In harmonious whispers, in united zeal, let not our better angels hide.
Through tempest and tranquility, our collective vision we unveil,
A sole, unified tapestry—a dream in this poetic odyssey, resplendent and frail.

I would think, that anyone wanting to make a poem, would at least be smart enough when claiming to be on cosmology, not to make the most fundamental mistake in grammar, i.e., not knowing the parts of speech and how they form the unit. In Platonic terms, the founder of formal grammar, how the many become one, and the one become many,
Ever ask yourself, What Exactly can you name? just ask the computer if you never read Plato. You can name relatives, like electricity, and you can name its limits, the correlative, when it is contained or off. A definitive sentence Noun equals noun and verb, shows how duality becomes, what some called a monad or unit. Or thing.
What it amounts to, is there was no becoming, or change in Cosmology at all, it is a fiction in your mind.

One can look at it this way, Cash, a method of exchange. A typical metaphor is dollars, and cents. The one dollar is composed of 100 cents and vice versa. So 1 dollar equals 100 cents. where 1 dollar is the noun = 100, noun, cents, relative difference, or verb.
That is what Plato was teaching, Definition by division is a simple binary tree.

So even though 1 dollar is a noun and verb, you intelligibly call them a unit, or one, when they are in fact two. One a noun and dollar the relative difference. One can even consider 1 dollar as a formal name, like Tom Jones. Tom is a noun, the relative difference, his family name.

Light distinguishes, reveals, separates.
Those who dream of uniformity, need darkness to help them dream.
In darkness illusions become plausible - the realm of the magi looking for gullible desperate minds to trick with their sleight of tongue redirections.

This is one of the most lucid interpretations of existence i encountered so far (perhaps a bid to bright for dwellers of intelectual twilights)

I do not think burnt out lightbulbs are bright. Maybe want to get your fingers out of your eyes. What, you never learnt what grammar is for?

Someone forgetting that even light causes diffraction rings? and have they forgotten E=mc squared, i.e., not measurable it is still energy, and thus, in the long run, still converts to mass.

However, the factual point is, how can someone not even imagine what correct grammar is, how to use a simple pencil to graph it, yet believe that they can actually imagine a whole cosmology? That has a psychiatric name, and a name of something very corporeal. How cripple people claim that they can win a marathon? Those that are well, or those in serious trouble?
Many scientist today are certain that they can predict a cosmology, when not one of them can predict the behavior of their own hand pushing a pencil to create a simple geometric drawing which demonstrates the logic involved. I call that is not genius, but a mental problem.
Plato stated that geometry can afford us visual paradigms of all reasoning. And he is correct. Binary recursion can only produce a binary result.
