Either/Or, Both/And

Today I want to explore the difference between Either/Or and Both/And sets of perception. I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but we'll see how it goes. I want to write, but I don't know what, which means we're going to be channeling without any particular objective. (This is always interesting.)

One moment physicality wasn't. The next moment physicality was. Except it wasn't a moment. There wasn't such a thing as a moment. Just a state of being. Wasn't. Was. Instantaneously. But it's not as if energy becoming matter meant that energy ceased being energy. More like energy became matter as an expression of that same energy.

The best way to describe the sudden formation of the Local Universe is a splitting of states of being. The Universe at large went from being just energy to being matter AND energy. Both/And. From the lens of being a physically incarnated something, it feels like Either/Or. It's Both/And.

I am both matter and energy. I am both a physical being and a non-physical being. The Universe of duality is a Both/And scenario, though Third Density compresses that down to Either/Or for the sake of experience and being forced into the illusion of having to choose. You can be this OR that. When the truth is, you can be this AND that.

There's a reason for the Either/Or point-of-view in Third Density. Being forced into the illusion of having to choose forces you to experience a more concentrated trajectory of events. You exclude other potential parallel paths for the sake of "locking in" to a specific set of experiences, which leads to accelerated growth. It's increasing the energetic pressure the soul experiences in the same way you increase water pressure by constricting it into a pipe.

When you have a Both/And type of experience, there's less energetic pressure. There's still flow, and therefore growth, but it is slower growth. The difference between a shrub that has been pruned and a shrub that hasn't been pruned. When the growing season begins for the shrub that has been pruned, it focuses all of its energy into the areas that were pruned and increases the amount of branches growing from the pruned nodes. This makes it bushier and more compact. The shrub that has not been pruned grows evenly all over, and sometimes the growth is slower because there are too many old branches in the way. It tends to grow leggier, taller, with more open areas in the middle.

Third Density is like creating topiaries out of incarnated selves. That's how compact the growth is. Fifth Density is like growing your ordinary, neatly pruned shrub. It's not as compact, but it retains more of its natural shape. The higher in density ranges you go, the leggier your self gets until you've got a thicket of impossible to determine thickness, shape, or how even to prune such a thing.

(I think I'm having a little too much fun with the plant analogy here. I'll wrap it up.)

There are advantages to each type of experience. Sometimes, it's fun to experience life as a thicket. I think it's more fun to be the scraggly ass shrub on the side of the house sitting with its fellow scraggly shrubs. The topiary experience is just a little too constraining at this point.

Anyway, much of this writing today is coming from a discussion I had with my father recently. We were discussing the Big Bang Theory, something he believes is how the Universe started. The problem with that theory is it comes from an Either/Or mindset. It's a Both/And experience. Yes, there was an instantaneous manifestation of the Local Universe, but the "point of energy" that existed before didn't go anywhere! It's still there. The Universe is simultaneously expanding and contracting, existing physically and non-physically, accelerating and decelerating.

It's all happening all at the same time in both states of being.

The only thing deciding what you perceive at any time is...you! You're the only one here, after all. There's nobody else but you deciding your perceptions each and every moment. You are everyone else. You are me. I am everyone else. I am you. We're also that dude over there picking his nose on the corner. And the bumble bee in the flower. And the trash blowing in the street. And the lady you saw last Saturday who smelled like cats. And wouldn't you know it, we're also the entire galaxy and all the people in it.

No matter where you go, there you are. Literally.

I thank you for your time. Adiamas.
