30 IMMEDIATE REALITY AND CYCLICAL REALITY

THE CYCLICAL REALITY

In reality, the universe is divided into two dimensions, one vertical and the other horizontal, the rigid vertical, cold and blue, and the variable horizontal, warm and red, both dimensions seem opposite but in reality they act coordinated and on different planes, that is why it is not a contradiction. The cyclical nature of the universe can be deduced from everything that is repeated such as days, months, or years, and at the end of time everything will start again from the beginning and all beings will end up living the experiences of others. It is as if all beings in the universe were actually the same being but at different times, because the lives and experiences of others are also our own experiences of the past or future.

That means that with all certainty, everything that happens to others will also happen to us when we have to live our own experiences. In the beginning, when we were only a single particle and a single being, then there was no difference between us, the fact that this being was divided into multiple particles which in turn gave rise to the appearance of multiple beings only represents a temporary situation and Apparent because with the separation it was determined that each life can only be lived at different times. That means that in the horizontal dimension that governs the present, the universe has multiple different beings physically separated from each other, although all have arisen from the same being. But in the vertical dimension that governs the past and the future, we are all connected by the wheel of time, because everything that happens to others will also happen to us, because their lives now are also the lives that we have lived in the past, or will we live in the future.

This initial being was divided into multiple physically separated beings in the present, but with that division, what was determined is that the feelings and experiences of each one are actually our own experiences but that we will live in different times of the past and future therefore, when the universe completes all possible combinations, then all beings will have lived through all the experiences of the universe as if the initial being had never been divided. This means that the horizontal separation in space has caused a vertical separation in time, but in the end, all beings and all particles will be connected again at the same instant of time and the same place in space, because at that moment, the two dimensions will be canceled until a new cosmic cycle begins again. This means that if we only took into account the cyclical reality of the universe, then the most appropriate behavior to follow in our behavior towards others would be total justice and without exceptions.

THE IMMEDIATE REALITY

If instead we look at the world that surrounds us in the immediate plane, that is, on a short time scale and of the present, then it seems that there is only the personal interest of each individual being. This happens, because the world is currently in a situation of backwardness and ignorance, therefore, animals or people believe that their only life is that of their body, but they forget the life of their immortal spirit. This means that only simple and close concepts are taken into account, making it easy for selfish behaviors to arise in this situation. This behavior is common in animals since they cannot think about the afterlife or life after death, but people do have the ability to think about it and adapt their behavior to this circumstance. In this situation, only brute force and self-defense act as moderators of personal interest. The existence of these two realities seems to be in contradiction, because if we only take into account the immediate reality, then we can think that we can only be affected by those events that happen to us in the present, because in theory, the success or the suffering of the others do not necessarily have to cause our own success or suffering, that is to say that if we only consider the immediate reality we could think that the lives of different beings have no connection to each other.

This means that when only immediate reality is taken into account, then we can think that our physical life is the only important thing, therefore, only when we think transcendentally can we understand that there is something more in the universe. In reality, all beings in the universe seek their own benefit, the difference is in the method they use to obtain it, because some consider that the benefit of others can also be their own benefit, when they understand that the cyclical nature of the universe unites us to everyone at the time, then, they make the decision to always be fair. Others may think that the cyclical nature does not exist or does not imply always being fair, in this case they act in accordance with legitimate defense and justice derived from the law and police action, because that is what acts as a coordinator of the different beings and is responsible for creating justice among all.

The truth is, when only the facts are taken into account on a short time scale, personal interest seems to be the only truth. For this reason, those materialistic people who deny life after death are more exposed to suffer the consequences of seeing life as if only the present existed and without taking into account the consequences that their actions may have in the future. The masculine material part in us drives us to take into account only the immediate, and the feminine spiritual part drives us to value the future, therefore, it is difficult to know what to expect when both realities seem to contradict each other on the surface.

In the universe, everything is full of circles that represent the renewal and cyclical repetition of things, but at the same time there is the straight line that seems to be in opposition to the circle. Actually, a straight line is only a small part of a circle, but at the same time it represents its opposite side. Symbolically, the straight line is blue and feminine and the circle is red and masculine, even in our own body we can see both symbols represented, because the head by its round shape represents the masculine circle and the body by its elongated shape represents the straight line feminine, therefore, women who want to claim their feminine nature grow their hair long. However, when young women cut their hair short what they are indicating is that they have a cold and nervous personality, because they are wearing an inverted haircut that is more representative of their sex, which indicates a rejection of their own nature. Long hair in women represents femininity and sensuality, but if worn by men it represents rebellion and aggressiveness, because, as in the previous example, it is not in line with the symbolism of their sex. Curly hair can be associated with combativeness or fighting, because the circular shape it takes is symbolically related to the male sex and fire. That determines, for example, that the black race is more inclined towards the positive or masculine pole and the yellow race is more inclined towards the negative or feminine pole, therefore, the white race is in the intermediate or ideal point. The fact that there is a connection between the male sex and fire or combativeness does not mean that for this reason men have to be aggressive necessarily, but they are more prepared than women for physical fight, either as an aggressor or in legitimate defending.

The fact that the immediate dimension of value only to the present over the future or matter over the spirit favors selfish behaviors in those societies that, because they are primitive, only see the present and lack the necessary intuition to understand the cyclical concepts of the cosmos. A primitive society lacks intuition, having completed only one stage of those it needs to complete its development as a civilization, this makes it have a partial and immediate vision of events. On the other hand, a world that has already finished this process gives the same value to the present as to the future or to matter as to spirit. In other words, in a backward society, the excessive weight of matter creates confusion and makes it difficult to see spiritual concepts, pushing people to overvalue the present to the detriment of the future. An evolved society, on the other hand, can understand spiritual values and see events with perspective and from a distance, because by rising above the confusion that ignorance creates, it can better understand universal cyclical values. This is so, because the process of evolution goes from heat to cold and from chaos to order, therefore, at the beginning matter and the immediate have a greater weight in the human mind until technological progress is completed and man passes from assessing the circumstances in the immediate aspect to assessing them globally. 

Then he understands that not everything is matter, but that within him there is a spirit that is what actually animates that matter. Spirits, to progress, need to reincarnate in a material body because only when matter and spirit are in balance is happiness achieved, however, when a spirit reincarnates in a primitive society its ignorance prevents it from controlling matter, it even arrives to believe that the physical world is the only one that exists. As matter is denser than spirit, it hides what is in front of it, creating confusion, this causes beings reincarnated in matter to have difficulty understanding that not everything is matter and that there is also a spiritual world. This process will end when man discovers that matter and spirit have the same importance in the universe. It is as if the spirit, reincarnating in a primitive world, lost part of its knowledge by assuming the culture full of errors of primitive society as its own. This may seem like a contradiction, but it is necessary, because the human dimension is different from the spiritual one and the fact that as a spirit you have certain knowledge does not mean that as a man you have to remember them, because when reincarnation occurs it is necessary to forget the previous lives so as not to mix both planes and thus make human life more intense. In any case, this situation is only temporary, and will last only as long as it takes humanity to fully realize itself. When this process of learning and control of matter has been completed, people will be able to benefit from all the advantages of living in matter, but without giving up the values of the spirit, then both values will be in balance and people will give the same value to matter than to spirit or to the present than to the future. 

War is the most obvious example of a behavior that only takes into account the immediate reality, because in that situation one is willing to reach the last consequences for the possible benefits that derive exclusively from the present. It is a situation that is dominated only by the horizontal red dimension, energy, and chaos. During a war, it is as if the universe returns to a time dominated by fire and is characterized by brute force over reason, or in other words, the reason of force is put before the reason of logic, Therefore, those who only take into account the present or believe in the exceptions of justice, may think that those who only fight in self-defense are going to be at a disadvantage with respect to those who attack first and therefore, they may believe that in certain Conflicts taking initiative pays off.

In reality, all beings in the universe seek their own benefit for the simple reason that they are different beings and consequently do not suffer directly what happens to others. Therefore, the difference is in the method that each being considers to be the best to obtain that benefit, because those who believe in the cyclical nature of the universe consider that it is best to always be fair because due to that circumstance everything they do to others one day it will happen to them. That is to say that deep down the decision to be fair always occurs when understanding the cyclical nature of the cosmos, then the conclusion is drawn that it is best to act as if we were all the same person because, although in the present we are different beings, Someday time will connect us all On the other hand, those who believe in the exceptions of justice, consider that they should be fair as a rule but accepting injustices in an exceptional way, this is because they believe, that even though the cyclical nature is true, it can compensate them for not being fair sometimes, in this In this case, their room for maneuver will depend on the limits that self-defense and the law allow them. This difference is due to the fact that if you only act according to the cyclical nature, then there could be a disadvantage in the present that is worse than the possible cyclical profit. In any case, in my opinion, it is better to be guided by total justice and cyclical character because that way it is easier to organize psychologically by having only a moral position, in addition, with self-defense and science is enough to be happy.

In any case, in the future, wars will surely disappear, because they are the consequence of an unstable and changing situation that is in contradiction with a stable and solid future both politically and morally. It will be stable politically because the planet will be unified, and it will be stable morally because evil and ignorance will have been eradicated. Symbolically, war can be associated with the color red, the horizontal dimension and the circle as it is a situation characterized by energy, chaos, and disorder. Peace can be associated with the color blue, the vertical dimension and the straight line, because it represents stability and order. War is easy to happen, when ignorance is mixed with the constant and rapid change that is common in the planets that are evolving, because rapid change generates disorder and disorder favors confusion and misunderstandings, and if this is done add evil as an element that amplifies confusion, then it is very easy for confrontations to arise.

The continuous and chaotic change is typical of the red dimension that is also present in wars, on the other hand, stability and spirituality are typical of the blue dimension and favor peace. But, in the future, social and technological changes will take place at a slower rate than today when the world has finished completing its technological progress. When that happens, the warm and masculine symbolism that represents the war will be replaced by the one that comes from the technique that also has that same symbolism, then the world will achieve great stability. If to this we add the light that knowledge brings, together with the eradication of evil, then the world will be guaranteed peace forever.

The human mind needs to be stimulated by two different sources, one is solar, red, warm, material in the horizontal dimension, and another is crystalline, blue, cold, spiritual in the vertical dimension, these forms of stimulation can be obtained by different media. The stimulus of the red dimension can be found in war, but it can also be found in work, science, technology, politics, or even the salt of meals. The stimulus of the blue dimension can be found in philosophy, in music, or in the sugar in foods.

This means that in the future, the emotional stimulus derived from the red and solar part will be provided by technique and work, and the blue and sweet part will be provided by the philosophy that defends justice as the axis of moral conduct. This is so, because from an emotional point of view the mind needs to be stimulated from two different sources, one is the warm and masculine that can include war, but that can be replaced by the pleasure that technology provides. And then there is the cold, feminine and spiritual pleasure that comes from living in peace and according to justice. In this case, the pleasure that justice provides depends a lot on the capacity that each person has to know how to appreciate the value of small things and to live in harmony with nature, because when a person tries to live respecting others and adapting to your own limitations, then you have to learn to manage resources in the most balanced way to achieve maximum happiness. When humanity understands this, it will no longer use war as a source of profit and will try to be happy only with the fruit of its work, science, technique and having justice as the axis of moral conduct.
