Multifacetedness

A point/object in space, when observed has a left and right, a top and bottom, and a front and back. When we regard these dual aspects we effectively cleave the point, first in two, then into four and then into eight. The space between the parts is the energy of cleavage, or the energy of bondage, depending on how you look at it. When you see and feel an object as a play of opposing extremes, even in a simplistic spatial manner like this, then you turn the object into energy – your regarding works the object and transforms both it, and yourself in the process. Take your hand as the object. It has a front and back. It also has a top and bottom – finger tips and wrist, and it has a left and right edge – little finger edge and thumb/forefinger edge respectively. When you consider one of these pairs – say the last of the three – the left and right edges, and you allow these two edges/aspects to come apart and have some separate identity, then the space between – the hand – becomes charged. It's difficult to know why this happens. It may be because the mind finds it difficult to regard two things at once and so to give an impression of duality flits at great speed between the two, energizing the space between, but I suspect it has more to do with the heart. The heart is always wanting to open and to fill and be filled. When you open a door you pull or push it away from its jam – you separate two edges. Effectively the same with the heart – as it opens it expands – its boundaries move apart and the space between fills. The action of the heart is to fill, and so to fill an object it naturally and playfully considers these dual aspects – it cleaves and separates and fills the spaces it creates – it permeates the whole object rather than concentrating on only its central part. No dead space. The mind fixes, pointedly and singularly. The heart shares. It gives and takes, from one to the other, and part of its nature is to be softly aware of the two or more relating parts. To think of oneness or unity as a congealing of separate entities is wrong. Oneness is the dancing heart energy between the two – either the coming together of two discrete entities in the act of communication, or the separation of the dual aspects of the single entity. The space between. It is a weird and wonderful fact that the way you regard something changes both the thing you're regarding and yourself. When you become interested in the multifacetdness of things and the interrelatedness of things, rather than simply registering their physical presence, then your heart is naturally involved, and when your heart is naturally involved in everything you do then you are working with love – you are in love. Love should be blind - impartial and unconditional. When you are in love then everything sings with your love and everything confirms your love.
