 There are no ordinary people. The blur of everyday reality has created a world in which most of us have forgotten the value of our sacred existence. We are all human. We all die. But, more important, we are more than human, and we live on. We are more than laborers and artists, parents and children, masters and servants; our earthly roles are expressions of the unfathomable energy that exists within our true selves. It is this self, once rediscovered, that enables us to understand the nature of our world, and our own existence.
SPIRITUALITY. Higher Truth in the sum of balanced art and science, intuition and logic, output and input.
The domain beyond the individual soul or mind. The last stop for us.
In the end, there is no duality. Scientists will tell you it is an illusion of relativity; Artists will tell you its result of relationships.Other people will tell you its the result of separateness from God, or a product of Maya, or the reality of living in a physical body. And somehow, I think all of them are right.
Whatever the deal is with this world we call home, it is a world of perceived duality, of black and white, male and female, pleasure and pain....but, if you really think about it, there is not a duality there. Its more of a mult-ality. We live in the shades of gray more often than the dualistic extremes. We are male of female physically, but our temperaments flavor our masculinity and/or lack thereof. Same goes for virtually all opposing states of existence. It is exactly those extremes that unify and harmonize with all the shades in between that create the omnipresent reality.
The bottom line is that we all need each other. And we are all connected in that great, ever-changing process of human evolution. Science without Art has no soul. Art without science is a mess. But, together, they hold the key to saving ourselves...spiritually, physically...as individuals and as a species.
