Lee's Paradox...

you bet ! ;-) ...I love it !

So it is our outer body is the shadow and our inner soul which casts the light?

The world is full of short phrase Gurus. Life and light is what we make it. Life, the quality of, is how we take it.

xox

Light comes from a source
Source may be obscured by darkness before it shines
Source may even be obscured by it own light when it shines

Bonjour ! You Know ! I like you very much and i like to say it , because it’s nice to say it when you feel it …la la la la ….andre

But if black hole in heart sucks the Light right out of you,
how should you follow your heart…
when there’s no escaping The Void?

I like this very much 8))) great play on words and concepts…. perhaps the shadow is our higher self / consciousness that is always there, casting the light in the moments of darkness… ;)

yes definitely…. it is nice to hold that awareness that we are not alone, even though it may feel that way sometimes…. that’s why i like the play of words shadow / light, because one can never be without the other, even though each one of them may feel like they are the only one….

graet way to put it realy makes you think

Never thought of it that way!!! Hugs, Sally xxxxoooo

i believe the light makes the shadows and when we are perfectly pure and have shaken off all the dust then no more shadow ;)

but what do i know ;)
xoxox

beautifully said.

peace & light to you :))

A few small words, a universe of inspiration…...

we need them both…..there would be no light without darkness to offset it.

Lee…
“Existing man”... :)

But what “if light doesnt come from darkness” ??

cool one mq

This got me chasing my tail…..spin time. I have to unthink how I first took this in….this is a paradox to me. ?

therefore you should not have to pay the power bill

I have to add my bit…you say
‘If light came from darkness…
then light is a creation of darkness/ Nothingness…
therefore… light requires Nothing/ darkness to exist…
whereas Nothing/ darkness requires nothing.’
and I add my bit…but black/darkness absorbs light so perhaps they need aech other.

sure they need each other.. without darkness we would never truly understand the light. xx

Well thought!

yes, and how long is a piece of light?

funny thing about “no thing” the most incomprehensible “reality” (if reality is the right word), a total annihilation of thought/existence. I’ve also pondered that for many hours. I think that “state” is what separates existence and deity… for deity’s protection?. I’ve wondered that “god” might be a constant child, in absolute pure awareness, no thought, no body, nothing but the energy of awareness, every time we die we add to “it’s” awareness.

I’m getting confused…
all these people have different thoughts, but when i read it, i thought this:
ok, so darkness is like innocence, oblivion, ignorance, and light is the understanding.
or maybe, it’s pondering something and finally getting the answer, like a light getting switched on.
maybe you were explaining the significance behind the comprehension light bulb in cartoons! =D

you know, like Loony Tunes or whatever,
the little light bulb that flashes on over their heads whenever they have an epiphany or something.
you honestly didn’t pick up on that?

I read it yesterday. It made me thinking. It made me thinking so much that I had to write something about it today, lol! Hope you like it!
Great thought! Thank you! :)

Darkness cannot penetrate light, but light cannot exist without darkness.

Thanks!
That theory requires some further contemplation, but perhaps it is one of those things we cannot grasp.

How can no-thing create something?

This I have to think about….........S

Light is a word…Dark is another…created by us…so we don’t have to shudder…
: { )}

I think theres something off about the paradox itself… darkness comes from the lack of light, light doesnt come from the lack of darkness… so i think that the shadows of the light are casting the darkness not the other way around…

good thoughts here p. lee !

Shadow is from hiding from the light, if there is no light there is no shadow, if there is no good or happyness to attain there is no regret for not achieveing them. It all depends on what you think light is I suppose.

You sure did get them worked up on this one, me too, for that matter. I find it interesting that you choose to invoke the “literal” source of light, the sun, to back up your metaphysical supposition. Ultimately, however, could it be that this is no more than an especially clever instance of begging the question? In fact, it must be, for the specter of the infinite regress looms as large over this metaphysical word play than it does over all others. Nonetheless, clearly a piece which darkened the brow of many a reader. Come back: RBG

jees lee, phew! i was doing ok til i read through all these comments, now i’m trapped in a locked-on paradoxical love bullet, nothing (darkness) created something (me) and something (me) will never create anything if i dont get off this page immediately, you’re wonderful x

wonderful and inspiring. I read some notes last night from a course I did a 2 years ago. Blackness is the male componate of God’s identity. White is the feminine

i love paradoxes-so interesting..

A lovely play….a dance of shadows casting light….from the dark came light…..good to know that there is light within the darkness awaiting manifestation.

If its the shadow that casts the light..
Where does that put us in respect towards our shadows?
Do we dare personify our inanimate self?
