Create or Die

(Linga)

The Finger points to the basic law of existence, and which is the primary driver (hence rule) of the life, namely, ‘Create or die’. If I don’t create I die. But in order to create I have to die first.

And it is difference (see The Ferryman’s End sculpture) that I have to create. For sameness creates no affect (i.e. is compressed out). At least that’s what scientists mean when they say: “Only random events carry instruction”.

In short, creating (i.e. touching with) difference (that is to say, with the unexpected, for instance, with ‘NO’) is spiritual, i.e. life giving. Abiding in sameness (in other words, in the given or expected, for instance, in ‘YES’) is un-spiritual, i.e. life denying, though very relaxing and pleasurable. It is ‘Difference that makes a difference’ and gives life.

But what kind of difference should I create? Well, any bit of difference is O.K. The bit of difference I want to be, hence the way I want to connect to the world and shape it with my differential touch and make it real, is my free choice.

Obviously, if I want to be different, by touching differently, and thereby made real and true, I have to stop being the same, and which is what I am right now.

O.K.?

Try the following proposition: saying ‘NO’ (or being contrary) is spiritual. Saying ‘YES’ (or being accepting) is un-spiritual, unless saying ‘YES’ permits the ‘other’ to say ‘NO’. At first this proposition appears stupid, counter-intuitive. Not so if you give it serious thought.
