An old teacher of mine told me that awareness seemed to work in stages or levels. Like grades or more esotericaly- degrees.
At one level or degree of awareness, we see the universe as dualistic or polar. That all things comprise one pole of a set. Good for example is the polar opposite of evil. Light/dark, etc.
At another level of awareness we begin to notice that these sets really each only describe a single thing. All they are doing is defining the thing according to it's aspects of opposite. One pole relative to the other.
Once we learn new things, we can take that awareness with us to filter ALL of the things that we have learned previously and applying that filter come to even more awarenesses about the worlds/universes around us. To gain deeper understandings and knowledge.
Some awarenesses act as keys. All do in fact, it is just that some keys are a little more master (open a few more doors) than others.
Many of my teachers have been talking about keys of knowledge and embedded trip codes in text and transmissions that create subtle connections in our processes bringing realizations. I could know and hear these words but until I came to write the forgoing, I didn't really feel them. They are not very fancy but once noticed, a deeper understanding is possible. (to describe a physical sensation, my heart races a little and an inner energy builds, almost like shivers down my back)
An example of a key would be all of the pretty orange mushrooms with white dots that prevail in childrens' literature. Once we realize that these mushrooms open doorways to other worlds or universes, then the childhood tale does not seem like a tale at all but profound wisdom embedded with a wink and a nod to the great mystery.
So as we assimilate keys and trip codes and grow in awareness, we really begin to see the world as a better place. We see the negative poles become one with the positive ones in a dance of mystery and wonderment.
The interesting thing about Aspectics is that it works to process the differences between the poles and after a while the true oneness of all that becomes apparent.
It just came to me that Aspectics isn't the only way. H'Oponopono (cleans the space in between the poles), years of koan based meditations, and yoga too. (After all yoga means union (of the poles) into oneness. A system is a system but in these days of hurry up, hurry up systems can still bring us to and help hang on to the truth.
