Darkness within darkness

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

The unnameable is the eternally real.

Naming is the origin of all particular things.

Free from all desire, you realize the mystery.

Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source.

This source is called darkness.

Darkness within darkness.

The gateway to all understanding."

- Tao Te Ching

    “You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”... “Most of us assume as a matter of common sense that space is nothing, that it's not important and has no energy. But as a matter of fact, space is the basis of existence. How could you have stars without space? Stars shine out of space and something comes out of nothing just in the same way as when you listen, in an unprejudiced way, you hear all sounds coming out of silence. It is amazing. Silence is the origin of sound just as space is the origin of stars, and woman is the origin of man. If you listen and pay close attention to what is, you will discover that there is no past, no future, and no one listening. You cannot hear yourself listening. You live in the eternal now and you are that. It is rally extremely simple, and that is the way it is.” ~Alan Watts

  • .......darkness only knows darkness while the light knows both; light and darkness.............Zarathustra

    • What you say makes the answer so simple.  It is the light which causes duality.  To extinguish the light is to end duality.  We know light requires consumption of energy, so we just merely need consume no energy, in other words do nothing, and duality will be done with.

  • Only one desire-to know the Creator -not an easy task!

"My two cents is that, since it was very common for ancient Greeks to include deity presence in their records, I think they would have also done so for the siege of Tyre if that was the case."
