Syzygys: False Dichotomies, or, Dualities
Unified.
Compare & Contrast Symmetrical Relationships of Interpenetrating Complementary Opposites.
Intro:
Truth is a Three Edged Sword. It is the Dynamic Tension between
"opposites" that creates the energy that powers Creative Change and
Evolution. Opposites are always intrinsically related and progress to a Higher
Synthesis. Crowley called it the "None - Two Orgiastic Dynamism". One
must Transcend the Polarization of Ideas, even as they are grasped
dualistically, and fight Dualistic Absolutism, also known as Binary Fascism,
which is the tendency to insist on the (false) ultimate separation of
"opposing" Points of View, Philosophies, Countries, Races or whatever.
Do not regard either one side of any Duality as "good" or
"evil" except in a limited (local) way, despite the Values given near
the end of the list where I clearly favor the "Left" (Column &
Philosophically).
Every Idea contains its own Opposite. Nothing is True save by the
Contradiction contained within Itself. Below the Abyss contradiction is
division, Above the Abyss contradiction is Unity. Correct every idea by implying
the contradictory contained therein. Behold all opposites as necessary
complements. Unite all apparent opposites in a Transcendent (Higher) Synthesis.
Use the Dynamic Tension between Contraries to propel yourself beyond yourself.
"Any idea not so equilibrated with its opposite is below the Abyss, is unbalanced
and contains in itself an unmitigated duality or falsehood, & is to that
extent qliphotic & dangerous." (Aleister Crowley)
"Every number is infinite; there is no difference." "Make no
difference between any one thing and any other thing," "...if ye
confound the space-marks, saying: They are one; or saying, They are many;
...then expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit!" (The Book of the
Law).
Don’t confuse the linguistic meta-levels. Deny false dichotomies (binary
fascism, dualistic absolutism) by Uniting all opposites. Let every idea go forth
as a triangle on the base of two opposites, making an apex transcending their
contradiction in a higher harmony.
There is no Division between the Light & the Dark, Higher & Lower,
Inner & Outer, etc.
Kether is in Malkuth and Malkuth is in Kether, after another manner. As
Above, so below. (Principle of Fractile Symmetry, or Parallelism across all
scales of Being.)
Ask: "when does "A" appear to be "B" ?", for
any duality.
Remember: "in the Greater Context of" to resolve any apparent
conflict/paradox at a higher linguistic meta-level, i.e. "Order in the
Greater Context of Chaos", "Suffering in the Greater Context of
Ecstasy", "Lies in the Greater Context of Truth", etc.
Keep in mind the following concepts: Nothing is "mutually
exclusive", A is not A. Syncrisis: Combination of Opposites. Conjunction of
Correspondents, Rhythmic Juxtaposition, Continuum of Contraries, Dualistic
Symmetry, etc.
Some Contrary Principles or Antitheses may be
"opposed" only on certain scales
of meaning, in specific contexts, or along certain continuum, & may be found
on the other Column, or opposite other Principles, in different contexts. Items
are generally arranged vertically within categories according to similarity of concept in
order to make the reasoning more apparent by comparison with nearby Pairs.
Finally, I have chosen Pairs which seemed the most significant to me
according to the Deeper rather then the Shallower significance when appropriate,
and so to be consistent with my own overall Understanding of the Multiverse at
this time.
Abrahadabra!
(Movement is phenomenologically from Left to Right, then Back from Right to Left ">". From Pre-Being (Chaos) to Being & back to Post-Being (UnderWorld), so that in one sense the Left Column is Both First & Last, Higher & Lower, with the Right Column the "Middle". This is a subtle point but need not trouble the ordinary Transcendental Researcher).
