The Fools Journey Part 12 Copyright 07/04/2014 19:05

We need negative things in our life to learn. There are some things that can only be proved by contradiction. Things that involve infinity for instance. Is that the only criteria? That they involve infinity? George did not know. But the fact remained that some things can only be proved by contradiction. Thus we need negativity. We should welcome it. Does that mean that one engages in negativity? No. One externalises negativity and allows oneself to learn from it. One should keep the internal positive. The core positive. And expand it. In fact this is what we always do anyway. The core of all things is positive. Negativity, the anti-thesis is created to expand the core. What did this have to do with George having sex? What did it have to do with healing his aunt? Healing America? Healing Britain? Scotland? His mum? His dad? His brother? George had been to outer reaches of negativity. Now he was siding with right-wing individualists. But what did that have to do with economics. He was siding with the right on moral issues. But what did that have to do with work. He had started working voluntarily, and for the first time in a long time he was running out of money. He was pestering Kikis, he felt better, but his friends had stopped responding to his calls. Negativity. It was needed to learn. What was work? Service? What was karma yoga? Physical work? It all contributed to keeping the physical being alive. But what was the physical? Was it negative in itself? Isn't negative relative? Proof by contradiction. One was contradicting ones initial assumptions. Change the assumptions and what appears to be negative would be positive. Except one cannot do finite maths. Not without a smallest element. One could assume the world was finite. That it was digital. George had lived in that world. There was no miracle in that world. There were strict laws. Physical laws. God was a contradiction. God was negative. Change the assumptions. The world is infinite. God was no longer negative. Negative things could become positive things. There is a greatest number. This could become positive in the absence of infinity. This positive thing could become negative in the presence of infinity. We need negative things in our life to learn. But to change assumptions? That did not require negativity, that required free will. When we are bored with one set of assumptions we simply change them. And in doing so we change what is negative and positive. Thus negative and positive are illusions. Free will is the ultimate decider.
