THE TRUTH: We all have multiple personalities. That’s the normal. Personality Tests only prove that we prefer one personality over the others most of the time. Unfortunately, they make us believe that multiple personalities is abnormal

15Laertis

Man/Male and Woman/Female are basically the same thing. The differences between them are just for reproduction purposes only. But nature has shown us that reproduction can happen without the Male-Female distinctions. In other words, Male-Female is just a descriptor for certain species, not a universal condition.

Is there a universal definition of these:• Beauty• Justice• Success• Love• Marriage• God• Happiness• Leisure• Life

The tension between opposites is reflected in the human brain, which is divided into right and left hemispheres that mirror that same dual structure, a state called brain lateralization. The two hemispheres are generally unbalanced to varying degrees. The greater the lateralization in the brain, the greater the feelings of separation. The greater the feelings of separation, the greater the presence of fear, stress, anxiety, and isolation

21Laertis

We know that when one practices Tai Chi, s/he forces brain synchronization that increases personal resilience and balance. That, in turn, allows the person to deal more clearly, more calmly, and more resourcefully with whatever confronts her/him. Tai Chi (a form of moving meditation) encourages peaceful internal feelings while projecting a happier and brighter outlook about life

23Laertis

Reality itself is full of paradoxes --- that go well beyond duality

Reality is so dependent on our brains, senses, and feelings

It is so easily manipulated

It is so easily misinterpreted

It is so easily misunderstood

… and today is basically Human & Earth based

At some level everything makes sense

and nothing makes sense

24Laertis

25Laertis

26Laertis

Yes and No!

That by itself is a paradox

Yes

No

27Laertis

28Laertis

Coming or Going?

29Laertis

30Laertis

The Mobius loop can be seen as the symbol for infinity. Infinity by its

very nature is a paradox

39Laertis

There is NO right and wrong

There is NO moral or ethical law

There is NO such thing as good or bad behavior

There is NO sin (original or otherwise)

There is NO purgatory or eternal damnation

There is NO hell or heaven

There is NO good and bad/evil

There is NO acceptable and unacceptable

40Laertis

There is right and wrong

There is moral or ethical law

There is good and bad behavior

There is good and bad/evil

There are things, people, behaviors and actions that are acceptable and unacceptable

There is a dichotomy

41Laertis

Because we need all of these to

survive and co-exist

If you believe in God, then there is God

If you don’t believe in God , there isn’t one

If you believe in an invisible world, then there is one

If you don’t then there is no such thing

If you believe in duality, then you will find it everywhere

If you don’t believe in duality, then it disappears

42Laertis

In other words, everything is and it isn’t

Everything exists and it doesn’t

Everything is right and it is not

Everything is acceptable and it is also unacceptable

Everything is OK and nothing is OK

Everything has a start and an end and there is no such thing as a start or an end

We are all One and yet we are all individuals

43Laertis

Well, there is no explanation. It is the same thing as The Double Slit Experiment

Yes, it is a paradox

You give purpose and meaning to the world around you. You create your own reality
