Without the ups and downs, it would be a flat line.

The absolute is where the complexities and details cancel out. The zero between 1 and -1. Reality is not to much a state, as it is the tension and balance of opposites. No good, without bad. No up, without down. No left, without right.

Materialism assumes some basic physical state, but what’s actually being experienced is a tension and friction of conflicting forces.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as form gravitates in. As mobile organisms, we have the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems driving us on, along with the central nervous system processing the information being expressed, in order to navigate.

Being mobile, we think are going somewhere, but it is process. Change turns future to past. Potential, actual, residual. We are focused on the details in front of us, rather than the overall cycles.

The price we pay to feel, is that much of it is pain.
