The thing that we should have learned Before we learned one two three And ABC but somehow was overlooked This lesson is quite simple Any experience that we have through our senses Whether of sounds or of light or of touch Is a vibration And the vibration has two aspects one called on and the other called off Vibration it seems to be propagated in waves And every wave system has crests and it has troughs And so life is a system now you see it These two aspects always go together For example sound is not pure sound it is a rapid alternation of sound and sound And that's simply the way things are Only you must remember that the crest and the trough of a wave are inseparable Nobody ever sees crests without troughs or troughs without crests Just as you don't encounter in life people with fronts but no backs Just as you don't encounter a coin that has a head and no tails And although the heads and the tails the fronts and the backs the positives and the Negatives are different they're at the same time one And one has to get fundamentally to the notion that different things can be inseparable That what is explicitly two can at the same time be implicitly one If you forget that therefore we forget you see that black and white are inseparable And that existence is constituted equivalently by being and non-being Then we get scared And we have to play a game called uh-oh black might win And once we get into the fear that black the negative side might win we are compelled To play the game but white must win And from that start all our troubles And from that start all our troubles Because you see the human awareness is a very odd mechanism That is to say we have as a species specialized In a certain kind of awareness which we call Conscious attention Which we call conscious attention Which we call conscious attention Which we call conscious attention
