We enter our consciousness through our sensations. They in turn are shaped by an embodied underlying order that our experiences encounter when the content they are supplied with from within is blended with our lives. What comes from within here, are the individual and coordinated impressions of the pure and formless psychic processes we experience as life forms whose potentiality we use to describe our psychic influences with which arise from the oneness in all existence, that the universal and unchanging human being within us is part of. But there is another influence on the whole and undisturbed consciousness before that. A two-part experience of something that is both within us, but which also relates us to something that is mostly perceived as something that is outside of us. We move between them all the time. The two are initially one and the same because their relation to each other is what gives content to our sensations. For a man, it is something we first experience through women. They provide this duality within us with an external form that we embody and visualize through them. I think the concept of non-duality arose out of this experience. Which when misunderstood creates an ideal and emotional obsession. But it’s more like a collective name for the inner concentration and training we painstakingly go through to try to find our way to have a relationship with those within us. If I were completely patriarchal and insensitive to the psychic nuances of life, I would try to dismiss them as a nuisance. But for me it is more likely that they are those who involve me in my psychic life and who from there act as those who lead my inner person to that union of opposites, the guiding principle to which he is attached which becomes a balancing act, and a counterbalance to an excessively one-sided view of our inner person, and an overly abstract and ideal relationship to our consciousness. They provide our inner and outer life with substance, by us experiencing them, and clothe our sensations with energy and content as they alternately, and in co-existence, exchange our sensations between them which we then make conscious as we translate them into psychic life. The outer aspect of this duality is also that which embodies and embraces its inner self-organizing union of all life’s opposites as the guiding principle found in all life. It is like a psychic wedding, in a natural and indigenous sense, between nature within and all around us, and its inner guiding union with all that it is part of. But none of this would make any sense to me if I didn’t also have a relationship with my inner parents separated from my biological ones, and in their social, cultural psychic aspects. Because they are the means of realizing my inner person’s connectedness with others. It makes me able to go within.
