Highlight
There is no distinction between outside and inside.
Only the distinction that our mind create and believe.
Inside would be the jail that we built around us and
outside the misconception that we are separated from
the universe.
Deeper Hypershere - From a follow up by Robert C. Cohen "Since the early twentieth century, scientists have used THE HYPERSHERE to describe a universe in which time is the fourth dimension. Today, pysicists say that THE HYPERSHERE is shaped like a torus, or a donut. This shape is the latest physicists' conception of the shape of the universe.
"The hypershere occurs throughout the natural world! Tornados, magnetic fields and other vortices are all sections of the hypershere. And an apple, an atom, a tree, even a human being all share this same basic topology - a solid with a hole through it." "A map on a flat plane requires a maximum of four colors to distinguish all adjacent areas from one another. "A map on a hypershere requires a maximum of seven colors. This seven fold principle, which can be found throughout the world of science, art, myth and music, is built into the hypershere, revealing how the number seven is a built-in feature of the universe itself. Why are there seven notes in the musical scale? Seven colors of the rainbow? Seven days of the week? Why has the number seven always held such fascination for mystics and visionaries? Why do so many myths and legends revolve around the number seven?"--from the box of the Hypersphere model by Arthur Block. --Hypersphere Follow Up by Robert C. Cohen Follow Ups
Lao-Tzu said that the utility of the jar lies with the not-jar. One aspect structures the other. Hesse wanted his readers to open their minds to the unity of polar opposites: light and dark, male and female, hot and cold. In the West, more often than not, it's either one or the other, winners and losers,God and the Devil, white hats and black hats. This struggle to determine who's let inside, and
who's left outside, based upon polar definitions of values, erodes compassion and tolerance. In Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man", a black man who knows the secret of making the whitest of white paints, shows the protagonist how he does it - by adding a drop of black. Just like the symbol for yin and yang, the quality of inside depends on the essence of what's outside, and vice versa.
Danielle, you use mind as a plural. Cool. I think all distinctions may be created by our minds or at least may be related to "mind" in some way.
What if there is no outside?
See David Lynch's "Lost Highway" and remember -- there's no such thing
as a bad coincidence : )?
What if there is _only_ outside?
The only difference between inside and outside is a closed door.
Did you ever notice that nature tends to dissolve the
doors in life and bring us closer to the outside?
Well, maybe that's the point.
The closed door metaphor you use is very interesting
The idea of bounderies and borders,
be they closed doors or otherwise, specifically dissolving
in a way that brings inside more to outside, rather than the other
way around, is a fascinating one, which bears
thinking about.

Final Submission to Game One:
A commentary explaining this: "All things are in twos: sex in plants and animals, by which one individual is complementary to another; in the subtle forces of nature, Day and Night, positive and negative electricity, forces of attraction and repulsion: and numerous other opposites, each fulfilling its purpose, and contributing to the working of Allah's Universe: and in the moral and spiritual world, Love and Aversion, Mercy and Justice, Striving and Rest, and so on...."
RELATIONSHIP TO THE CORE WAVE: Perhaps the existence of an inside and outside is part of this dualism in the universe (that I believe in)...and God created the distinction for us to see. |
