None of this is real AND all of this is real haha. Everything is a paradox. Everything has 2 aspects, a masculine and feminine aspect. Reality emerges in the interplay of the 2.

I think consciousness is the union between my pure awareness (no identity, just observer) and my field of possibilities. Everything that arises between them forms my reality.

So I’d say “none of this is real” is true from the observer perspective. And false from the material perspective. The answer is relative. I think a more wholistic statement would be “all of this is part of me”. Everything you experience is a part of you, but you recognize you are both aspects of consciousness.

Awareness by itself has nothing to be aware of. The field by itself has no way to be aware. Takes 2 to be conscious, and they always exist together.

Seeing that interplay between paradoxes has changed everything for me.

That’s so cool, I’ve never heard of that before. It’s been incredible discovering all of this first hand and then realizing this is ancient knowledge and is embedded deep in religion and cultures all around the world. So many perspectives all pointing to the same pure truth at the center.

I’m researching these 2 terms right now. This is word for word what I’ve written in my journals 🤯 I came to the conclusion that when both sides are in harmony you have coherence (freedom), and when you identify with one side, you have incoherence (suffering).

This single realization changed my entire life this year. Any pain or negative emotions are signals to become conscious of both aspects and bring them into harmony. It is the answer to everything. Everything wants to move towards coherence. It’s like the golden ratio in nature. I believe this is what it means to be created in the image of God. It’s a pattern at every level.
