Hi Bagua,
I never said or meant that neutrality negates dual, if that’s what was understood.
I was talking about the 9th consciousness, or Krishna Consciousness, or Christ Consciousness, the achievement of nirvikalpa samadhi, beyond the beyond of the 8th jhana, enlightenment, or realization of immortality, whatever you call it as this non-dual state of awareness. This is the final goal of all spiritual paths, the achievementof this super-consciousness beyond all other 8.
I agree that we experience dualites, but don’t reside in them, we take the Middle Way as Buddha suggested. We find the neutral point with the Myriad things and experience the myriad as they are.

Hi Fajin:
I tend to be very practical and down to earth in my experience and cultivation. Being calm, peaceful and enjoying the moment allows life to enlighten us. Its tricky to talk about this level or that level, they may exist but it forces Yi to chase and try to understand something it cannot.
What drives Yi to want to understand?
Its interesting, if we look at the Five Phases one view is Earth in the center, I propose one reason is the Yi/Earth is guided by Zhi, Hun, Shen and Po, they shape how the Yi evolves, not the other way around.
Hope all is well.

Hi Bagua,
Yes, there are other elemental systems like placing space/ether in the center and earth as part of the other 3. The ether/space element always keeps one in balance as it is Wu Ji in Daoist terms, so they don’t need earth as the center since they use emptiness meditation as their backbone. I like 5 elements, with ether element within the 5 connecting them as one to make six as I am both an alchemist and samadhi cultivator.
What drives the yi to want to understand eh?
“Kill the Buddha” is a good koan for those with this desire. All I want to be understood is that all paths reach the root, which is one, only ONE, not more, not less.
All the Best,
