- The Human biology is oddly governed by pairs and sets of two. As I already stated, we have 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 hands, etc. - Also, our organs function in a relationship of On and Off. Which is another duality. 2 lungs Inhale, and then Exhale. All muscles contract, and expand.
There is an ancient philosophical axiom which states: "As above, so below." and it simply means that the universe as observed in the heavens, is identical as the universe that we experience and interact with on a daily basis, more specifically, the human body.
Ancient mystics believed that the human body is representative of the universe and it's patterns.
- I find it compelling and interesting that our thinking is also governed by dualism: Good & Evil, Light & Dark, Friendly & Unfriendly, Right & Wrong.
- ***What I am curious about is why we are governed by dualism in our thinking.***
- Do our ideas reflect the dualism we have in our biology and are they a direct result of it? In other words, does our biology produce our dual thinking?
If the human body inhales, and exhales, and if our muscles, contract, and expand, is that why we arrived at certain cosmological theories which imply the same relationships in the body of the universe? ie. The universe is expanding, and gravity is contracting. = Dualism.
- Or does it mean that the universe itself is governed by dualism?
- I want to try and understand why we see so many examples of dualism, and why our thinking is governed by it.
- Think about other profound examples: Life & Death, Love & Hate, Heaven & Hell. In almost any relevant instant you will find a relationship governed with a pair.
- Think about all computing. It is also based on an On and Off paradigm: Binary code.
- Our traffic is based on "Stop and Go".
- I want to understand why as I find it incredibly telling.
