All levels of all existence occurs in duality and, that the relationship (with which most are familiar) between masculine and feminine is the basis of all existence.
All spiritual and mystical texts and philosophies make constant reference to the concept of a duality of existence, polarities of masculine and feminine in homeostasis, inter-dependant, inter-related and co-dependant.
The Christian Bible describes the first separation from the nonduality of Adam into Adam
and Eve representing the polarities of Masculine and Feminine;
The Tao adds to the Bible's nonduality of Life represented by the interaction of Heaven
(masculine) and Earth (feminine) and the Tai-Chi comprising the homeostasis of yin and yang
The recordings of what is called Tantra go back to the rock carvings of
the Sumerians - about 6000BCE. Now, the Sanskrit word Tantra transliterates as The Weft
and Warp (duality) of the Weave (nonduality) - as in the directions of the
threads that go to make up the cloth we wear.
if one of these subjective pairs (dualities) did not exist, neither would the cloth (nonduality).
A coin does not exist unless it has a two obverse sides - "head" and a "tail" and the same metal fills all dimensions and impressions.
Some difficulty in understanding the concepts arises because "one" is not singular,
but plural .. a collective, infinite one-ness, a field that contains all things but can be also called no-thing or nonduality.
As a starting point nonduality can be written as | 0 | which means it is an infinite field
whose sum of all positive and negative aspects is zero ... yet which may contain infinite pairs of positives and negatives.
"First there was the eternal Tao; From One came two .. "
Now, in the olden days, the only concepts man had which were familiar and could metaphorically describe these "opposite fields" were Male and Female .. masculine and feminine. But, neither of these dual pairs could exist singularly as an absolute nonduality.
Holy Trinity is nothing more than the complete nonduality or understanding of the expression that the
Absolute (god), Brahmin, Atman, Consciousness, Buddha Mind | 0 |is the interpenetration and homeostasis of
Masculine
all polarities biased towards the Masculine whose sum is |+A |
with Feminine
all polarities biased towards the Feminine whose sum is |-A |
