A 101 Layout for Spiritual Understanding

What is the "you" that says "my arm, my legs," but also "my car, my bike"? If all these things are physical, then what is the entity that claims ownership of them? In this exploration, I present a structured way to understand spirituality using a contrast-based approach, much like the binary system in information technology. By breaking down key concepts into opposing elements, we can gain a clearer understanding of the unseen dynamics that shape our perception of existence.



The Power of Contrast: A Binary Perspective

We live in an age of information, and one of the fundamental principles in IT is binary—everything is built on two states: 0 and 1, off and on. This duality extends beyond technology into the way we perceive reality. By categorizing concepts into two contrasting columns, we can map out a framework for understanding spirituality.

On one side, we attribute "1" to light, movement, presence, and awareness. On the other, "0" represents stillness, absence, and subconscious states. This contrast helps us frame essential spiritual principles.

Light, Time, and Consciousness

Light is the fastest thing in the universe, making it an apt metaphor for awareness and consciousness. The closer something is to light, the more time-aware it becomes. Conversely, things that are static or unchanging exist outside of time—they are timeless. In this model:

  • Consciousness is about being present, aware, and engaged with reality.

  • The subconscious is everything we are not actively aware of, including dreams, memories, and even deep-rooted instincts.

This contrast extends further: Being awake aligns with life, while sleep resonates with death. Awareness is movement; stillness is timelessness.

The Mind, the Soul, and the Physical Body

We learn through contrast—our minds categorize and designate things based on their differences. But while the mind is shaped by experiences, the soul and the physical body have existed since creation. They are timeless.

  • The mind is dynamic, changing with experience and perception.

  • The soul, despite its ethereal nature, is bound to the body and persists beyond life and death.

  • The physical body, interestingly, is largely composed of non-living material. Where do we draw the line between the parts of our body that are truly "alive" and those that are not? Are our nails alive? Our hair? The distinction blurs as we look deeper.

Knowledge, Emotion, and Communication

Another contrast emerges in how we process truth:

  • One side seeks truth, striving to approximate it through discovery and experience.

  • The other side is truth—it simply exists, unemotional and absolute.

Emotion plays a key role in this model. The rational mind seeks control, numbers, and structured thinking, while the intuitive, subconscious side communicates through feelings, vibrations, and subtle messages. Have you ever had a dream where you conversed with someone, only to struggle to recall the exact words upon waking? This highlights the difference between rational language and subconscious experience.

Control vs. Release, Dependence vs. Independence

Our spiritual framework also applies to human dynamics:

  • The mind craves control—over thoughts, actions, and even external circumstances.

  • The soul understands release, acceptance, and letting go.

This contrast manifests in relationships, such as the unconditional love of a parent versus the conditional dependence of a child. The parent knows their child is their own, while the child constantly seeks validation of this connection.

Free Will, Unpredictability, and the Law of Attraction

In a purely physical system, movement and outcomes can be predicted. But introduce human consciousness, and unpredictability emerges. Free will creates indeterminacy, much like the paradoxical nature of light, which behaves as both a wave and a particle.

In this physical world, governed by the Law of Attraction, everything follows a pattern—it moves toward what it aligns with. However, in the realm of consciousness, the imagination is limitless. Here, we can assume realities beyond physical constraints, shaping our experience through thought and intention.

Frequencies, Masculine vs. Feminine Energy, and the Metaphysical

Every aspect of existence vibrates at a certain frequency. Lower frequencies correlate with material, earthly existence, while higher frequencies align with light and consciousness.

  • Death represents the lowest frequency—a state of stillness and detachment.

  • Light embodies the highest frequency—movement, awareness, and presence.

Additionally, language structures itself around masculine and feminine energies, further reinforcing this duality. The physical realm is contrasted with the metaphysical—everything superstitious, paranormal, or beyond material understanding falls into the latter category.

Final Thoughts

This layout serves as a foundational tool for exploring spiritual concepts. Imagine a torch illuminating the darkness—this represents the conscious mind uncovering the mysteries of existence.

One side is about remembering, recollecting, and becoming aware. The other is about everything that was, everything that will be, and the truths that simply are.

This is just the beginning. In my next discussion, I’ll explore why we often attract what we don’t want—and how to shift that pattern. Stay tuned.

It's Just a Simulation. A Talk on Computers, Dreams and Threads of Thoughts... Part 1

Image
Have you ever felt like life was just… a game? A vivid dream? A digital illusion? In this post, I’m diving into the idea that reality might be a simulation through the lens of personal experience, computer science, lucid dreaming, and the mysterious nature of consciousness. This isn’t about preaching a theory; it’s about sharing thoughts, patterns, and realizations that connect spiritual concepts with digital systems. Buckle up. Simulations exist to study realities without the real-world consequences—weather forecasts, car crashes, architectural drafts. They’re powerful because they help us test possibilities before fully committing. But what if life, as we know it, is a version of that? You’ve probably heard phrases like “chill, it’s just a simulation” or “life is a game.” It sounds playful, but it implies something deeper—this existence may be transient, flexible, not to be taken so seriously. That idea leads us to look at how our minds process reality, and how computers mirror ...

3 Myths My Mom Told Me That Now Make Sense

Image
When I was young, my mom shared a few myths with me that I dismissed as old-fashioned superstition. But as time passed, I found deeper meaning in them—aligning with science, metaphysics, and even the psychology of our subconscious. Here are three myths that once seemed strange but now make a surprising amount of sense. Walking with Resistance Blocks Abundance One of the first myths my mom told me was not to walk while dragging my feet or in a way that conveyed frustration. She believed that walking with resistance chases away good fortune. At the time, I thought it was just another one of those cultural sayings meant to correct my posture. But now, I see the deeper truth behind it. The book   The Science of Getting Rich   discusses how our mindset and energy shape our reality. Moving through life in a certain way—both mentally and physically—attracts success. When we develop a habit of walking with resistance, it subtly conditions our subconscious into the opposite, a state of...

°Flowers, Patterns & Luck. The Kybalion 4th Principle of Polarity

Image
 There’s something enchanting about noticing a flower when you least expect it. It feels like a whisper from the universe—beautiful, unexpected, maybe even lucky. In this reflection, we dive into how flowers, patterns, and the very concept of luck intertwine, all through the lens of the Kybalion’s 4th Principle: Polarity. Using personal insight, esoteric ideas, and spiritual musings, we’ll explore how synchronicity and structure shape our reality—and why noticing a flower might be more than just a coincidence. Patterns in Poetry and Petals Humans are drawn to patterns. Whether in rhymes or the spirals of a sunflower, there’s something innately satisfying about patterns. Poetry, like nature, follows recognizable forms—think rhyme schemes like AABB or ABAB. And in nature, patterns manifest mathematically, most famously in the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… You’ll find it in flower petals, seed spirals, and leaf arrangements. It’s not just beautiful—it’s efficient. Natur...
