Following a discussion I had a while ago, the whole putty ideal has come back to me with increased vigour, and therefore I feel the need to post about it. So here goes.
A friend of mine posted a bulletin about what to do about a certain situation, and I replied with something like "do what you think is right". Then it got me thinking, - "hang on - ive been here before." So, I'll explain the whole power of decision making for you, and I hope you take from it what you need.
Now we talk about energy quite frequently, and incorporate such things into our daily lives quite effectively. We talk about how it affects us, and sometimes even talk about positive and negative energy. But is there anything else?
We know that energy cannot be created or destroyed, just transmuted, and its form will change according to what happens to it. So in that respect it is infinite, and more to the point, indestructible.
But talking about positive and negative approaches, we can also see that, in this respect that positive and negative (back to the duality issue) are just values, points marked on a grid like a graph. they may have their own set of co-ordinates according to their position, but they will be positive or negative according to their value.
Interestingly enough, we know that numbers also go on to infinty; they have no end, whether positive or negative, and so much like energy, they maintain this interesting relationship. Ideally, we have used numbers to indicate a unit of measurement, but the use of numbers and numerical values goes much further in the pursuit of the energy mystery. I'll go on to explain this at some other point.
What i want to talk about though (now I have primed your mind) is the bit in the middle. The point of origin.
As humans, we have always strived to understand the origin of everything, where stuff came from, where it began, where we came from, how we got here etc. For many, to know the destination, we must need to know the point of origin. It all goes back to our path of experience, and to understanding what we're here to do. To do this we would need to go back to the beginning, to view and understand the plan we have laid for ourselves.
So where did we all come from? I mean, the only constant we have in this discussion is energy, as it can not be destroyed, and therefore must continue to transmute, and change according to our experiences.
But thats the thing, when something is positive, it (in theory) would need more negative than
