Are the concepts 'right' and 'wrong' subjective? Well, the simple answer is yes. But a more telling answer is yes and no. Humanity has a subjective view of what is right and wrong, but this is influenced by a higher purpose or higher understanding of the nature of Truth. What is right is closest to Truth/Reality. What is wrong is further away. But the reality is that there is nothing other than Truth/Reality, so what appears to be wrong or untrue is not what it seems.

That may take some explaining. When it's understood that Reality is a Singularity, then what appears to be separate, divided or in opposition is understood to be incorrect or unreal. So opposites are useful, but not correct. There are no real opposites, only the Singularity seeming to be divided into what is like it and what is not like it. For example, a shining star in space expresses the life, light and clarity of the Singularity in contrast to the lifeless darkness around it. Yet it is all still the Singularity.

So it is with right and wrong. This is the appearance of what is like the Singularity and what is unlike the Singularity. What Is appears as what is and what is not. But the opposites are themselves inaccurate. There is only ever What Is. So even though 'right' appears closest to Truth and 'wrong' seems to be further away, they are both nothing other than Truth. The unreal and the untrue cannot exist, only conceptually.

Although things in the world may appear to be right and wrong, it is only from a narrowed perspective that this apparent duality is observed. The whole, complete picture is that there is never anything wrong. There is only Truth, Rightness and Reality. It is the same with all apparent opposites. Good and bad, alive and dead, love and hate, clarity and confusion, near and far, peace and war, freedom and restriction, one and many - these are all expressions of what is like the Singularity and what is unlike it. Yet there is only ever the Singularity. No matter how many there appear to be, there is only ever One.

We can go a step further with Rightness. Although 'right' is closer to Truth than 'wrong', pure Rightness is just What Is. It's neither right nor wrong really. We only know the quality of Rightness from the contrast of its opposite. Rightness, Truth, Reality, Love, Clarity, Complete, One, Unlimited are the basic qualities of just being. So there is a point to be made that they are not qualities at all.

We're all familiar with space and time. We perceive distance that gives the appearance of space, and we notice the continual flowing change of what appears and we call this time. You may also be familiar with the Big Bang theory, where it is reasonably suggested that the universe began with an explosion into this multiplicity of interacting elements. With this explosion space and time were created.

So far so good, and there's evidence in the movement of the universe that suggests this to be the case. Then comes the brain boggler, "What was before the Big Bang? What was before time?" Before time there was obviously no time. Before space there was no space. But it's difficult to imagine time suddenly beginning from no time.

It helps to understand about the Singularity. Before time and space there is no appearance of the universe. There is no separation into changing moving forms. It's an unmanifest Singularity. It's like zero before -1 and +1 appear. The Singularity contains everything, locked up as one. It's not even a number. There are no numbers in a Singularity, no limits, and no division. There is no inside and outside of the Singularity. There is no appearance of form and there are no opposites. It's neither big nor small, neither here nor there. It's infinity.

And it's from this state of unmanifest Singularity that the Big Bang happens. Space and time appear as if the Singularity is split in two, changing from unmanifest potential into an explosion of energy, outwards from the centre. It's the start of the world of opposites, where attraction and repulsion plays out between the separated parts that have fallen out of the state of Singularity. Zero has become -1 and +1. They are blown apart but essentially connected, and it is this force between the separation of a singularity into opposites that becomes the energy of the universe. Opposite forces become the building blocks of the universe that we see now. Those forces continue to operate in the push and pull of the universe.

But let's not forget the Singularity. It still seems odd that there was no time, and now there is time. The reality is that the Singularity remains timeless. The Singularity cannot really explode into a multiplicity through space and time. It is beyond time. It doesn't change. It cannot really divide itself. The Singularity remains Here and Now, where here is nowhere and now is no time. Wherever the universe appears to go and whatever time seems to have passed, within the Singularity it is always Here and Now.

You see, the explosion of time and space appears within the unchanging formless Singularity. There isn't really a before or after. Reality is timeless and formless, but within this the universe appears as a world of opposites as if it has fallen out of the perfect balance of a Singularity. The Singularity remains throughout. To put it in simple mathematical terms, -1 + 1 = 0, or -144 +144 = 0. The universe of space and time appears as if the Singularity is being stretched out into a multiplicity, but the underlying reality is that it remains timelessly complete and whole as it is.

The way that the unmanifest Singularity can seem to become manifest is through the apparent separating out into opposites. But what separates connects. The sum total of the imbalance of the universe equals the perfect balance of the Singularity. The forces that appear between opposites in this world of opposites are the forces of unity. The apparent separation and division is the play of the Singularity, whilst it remains timelessly as it is.

I should add that this Singularity is not lifeless. It is the Fullness of Life. It is that which all apparently separated forms long to return to, by the nature of the forces of apparent separation. There are no separate forms. There are no separate creatures or life forms. There is One Infinite Being that plays at being a multiplicity. We are the Singularity. The core of who we are is this same timeless, formless Being, from whom and in whom the universe seems to appear. Wherever we go and whatever time it may seem to be, we are always Here and Now.

A lot of people go through life not really questioning reality, life and the universe. That's fine. But humanity is evolving. Evolving to an increased awareness. There's has been a movement from animal nature to thinking. Thinking has developed and allows the human mind to consider mental concepts about the universe. Further still, thinking can also question what it is to be.

So the human mind progresses, developing theories and ideas about the world and humanity's place in it. Theories develop. Religions rise up. Spirituality is considered. Many people find themselves becoming interested in reality, life and the universe. People become spiritual seekers. They seek to find the answers to life's mysteries. They seek to find truth, the truth about the nature of reality, the universe and their place in it.

There are lots of answers out there. But the ardent seeker will come to realise that answers don't satisfy. We can accept answers and live our life by them, but that's not the true answer. The true answer for the seeker is in realising who the seeker is. We call it awakening, enlightenment, nirvana, and self realisation. What this really means is the unveiling of the mystery of being. What is this mystery? Well, if I tell it then that answer still won't satisfy. The real answer is in clearly knowing being. Being aware of being aware.

There are many ways to this Self Realisation. The many are one. Letting go of beliefs, ideas, theories and concepts will reveal what is always here. Surrendering to God, who is the Heart of Being, will give up all attachments and reveal that the nature of God is always present, and nothing else is needed; there is nothing else. Self Enquiry, or the seeking of the nature of 'I', will bring the seeker to find that there is no separate seeker, and what is sought is here all along.

So this is the goal of the spiritual seeker. The culmination of the seeker's search is in finding that there is no seeker. There is only This. We can call it God, What Is, The Self, Infinite Consciousness etc. It is the sense of being separate from This that gives rise to the seeking. The separate being seeks fulfilment, completion, peace. That peace and completion is in the dropping of the sense of separation. It is then that the Fullness of Life is realised, right here now.

Has anyone ever really seen you or heard you? If it is assumed you are the body, a limited human form, then this will seem an absurd question - of course people have seen you and heard you speak. But if it is recognised that you are not the human body, and the real you has a spiritual nature, then it shouldn't seem such an odd question. Even then, when it is known that I am not the body, the mind still associates with the body. So it's useful to shake the tree, as they say.

Nobody has ever seen you. You have no form. You are that in which the form appears and disappears. Nobody has ever heard you. You don't have a voice. You don't make a sound. You are the stillness in which sounds appear and disappear. You don't have arms and legs, a head and a brain. That's the human body. It is the body that is seen and heard, felt and known. You are not the apparently limited form.

We think of the human body as being made of matter. But matter isn't really what it appears to be. The solidity of the human body is only relative. Our usual understanding of 'solidity' is something stable, unchanging and impervious - nothing can get through it. But there is no substance that is truly stable, unchanging and impervious. Solid matter is not truly solid. It's only relatively solid compared to other levels of solidity. For example, ice is only relatively more solid and stable than water. Ice is not truly stable, but it appears more stable than its more fluid form.

The human body is only relatively stable. We know this. It is continually changing. It's not perceptible that the body changes within an hour, but the nails are slowly growing, hair is slowly growing, skin is slowly being replaced, air is entering the body system. The body is not a closed system that remains stable. So even if we did identify as the human body, we couldn't really say where its limits are. Although the body seems to be autonomous within the planet, it is really made of the planet substance and is continually flowing and changing with the planet.

It's quite a shift for the mind to turn from identifying as a human. Recognising the spiritual nature of oneself brings in another consideration. Is not the substance that the body is made of, namely matter, just a form of condensed spirit, as ice is a form of condensed water? And if it is thought that I am a soul, isn't the soul also unlimited in a similar way to how the body is unlimited? The soul would be one with its environment also, and not really a solid, limited unchanging form. And if there are no limits, then there cannot truly be many souls.

Some may argue against this in defence of the soul, and that's fine. It is a way of understanding how the spiritual world works: souls take on human form and experience life as a human on planet Earth. That's fine and a useful understanding. But if we closely examine it, it will be found that there are no limits to anything. Humans only appear separate by the air or space between them, yet they continually interact with the air and space. So humans aren't really separate from anything. They are more like interactive, flowing, evolving, forms that only appear dense, limited or solid relative to the environment in which they appear and of which they are made. It is similar with souls also.

The message here is that we are not human and we are not souls. There are no real limits between the human forms or soul forms. Our true nature is unlimited. The universe's true nature is unlimited. There is only What Is, the Infinite One appearing as though it is many. What seems to separate the many is nothing other than the Infinite One that is the substance of all.
