"CITIZEN" & The Ideal

Dual/Non-Dual & Synergy Triangle:

Symmetry in The Celestial

(aka The Beautiful)

 Synergy &/or The Non-Dual

​

​

 

Variable A                       Variable B

Socio-Cultural ORIENTATION

(how we are map-makers)

Fire & Air = Activity

 

NOTE: Compare with the "Creature" & The Real: Primordial Relationships triangle.

 

The above, generic diagram is Not to be mistaken for what is commonly seen as the Hegelian Dialectic:

That is, merely: Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis  

However
Rather, it displays a process of the highly-complex experiences we each have in our daily imaginations.

As in Carl Jung's extensive research resulting from the synergy or union of any two categorical opposites. The Which he reconstituted from the ancient, alchemical process called, Coincidencia Oppositorum.

Meanwhile, for our purposes, it is entirely possible to do this ON PURPOSE.

​

Examples could be things like:

1) Woman + Man = Androgyne

2) Black + White = Gray

3) Positive + Negative = Neutral 

Or more elaborate and experimental and, therefore personal-choice/subjective, combinations like:

1) Heart-Intelligence + Head-Intellect = Consciousness (or Agency or 3rd Eye or Imagination, etc.).

All depending on how you, yourself look at it.

2) "Citizen" + Psychological-Self = Socio-Cultural Orientation

This triangle also displays how a Duplicity of any polarity, that is, interchangeable variables (Success//Failure; Feminine//Masculine or -1//+1), opens the heart-mind to the unknown realm for potent surprises and the unexpected journey. This renewed access to a certain Fertile Void (indicated here as a heart-shaped zero) is simply the sum and result of committed personal exploration, practical comparison and the Self-governance acquired in this process. By inserting one’s own variables, that is, in exploring one’s concepts, terms, sensate reactions and psychic adventures, and while protected from countervailing biases that second guess our findings, we refine or reconfigure our sense-ratios and eventually become self-reliant, self-determinate and exquisitely  beings. 

 

Remembering that perfect symmetry doesn’t occur in Nature and would, therefore, be diabolical, this triangle represents far more than it would seem.

For one, it is not static and unmoving, but rather variable and fluctuating.

Like scales, it is a moving symbol. It might, in appearance, seem an over-simple, unmovable symmetry. But, it is intended (as is Beauty & the Yin/Yang symbol) as a moving asymmetrical, swaying schematic of interplay and interweaving. Alternating between two specific sources, to be witnessed in real-time, embodied experience.

 

​​​​​​It has been said that Beauty cannot bring pleasure, be comprehended or enjoyed without the invisible, always imperfectly balancing symmetry innate to all forms in the universe. Only when a thing seduces through it’s mystery and truth, for the individual, does it signify an allocation of The Beautiful. Making this a habit or “practice” is often the part that gets forgotten.
