The sanity and truth behind perceptual Duality and more!
Hello all,
I'm quite intrigued about Cognition and Perception.
Duality, to me, is true and is not true also!
Below are my thoughts regarding:
In the West, we are quite dualistically polarized.
Interestingly enough, in Eastern cultures, they are not polarized in the same way we are:
Ex. Buddhists teach "Emptiness" which has a Positive and Negative connotative meaning:
First the positive: Clearness, Radiance, Openess, Omniscience
Next the negativa: No "self", No inherently existing phaenomena
It seems as though we Westerners are polarized regarding materialism and Eastern peoples have a "nested" polarization within their religious framework, in sense.
How does someone overcome this tendency of "self reflexiveness" which, when warped, IS the problem to understanding the wholeness within Duality?
