***LIFE IS DIALECTICAL, NOT LOGICAL*** EXISTENCE IS PARADOXICAL; paradox is its very core. It exists through opposites, it is a balance in the opposites. And one who learns how to balance becomes capable of knowing what life is, what existence is, what God is. The secret key is balance.... We have been trained in Aristotelian logic -- which is linear, one-dimensional. LIFE IS NOT ARISTOTELIAN AT ALL, IT IS HEGELIAN. Logic is not linear, logic is dialectical. The very process of life is dialectic, a meeting of the opposites -- a conflict between the opposites and yet a meeting of the opposites. And life goes through this dialectical process: from thesis to antithesis, from antithesis to synthesis -- and then again the synthesis becomes a thesis. The whole process starts again. If Aristotle is true then there will be only men and no women, or, only women and no men. If the world was made according to Aristotle then there will be only light and no darkness, or, only darkness and no light. That would be logical. There would be either life or death but not both. But life is not based on Aristotles logic, life has both. And life is really possible only because of both, because of the opposites: man and woman, yin and yang, day and night, birth and death, love and hate. Life consists of both. This is the first thing you have to allow to sink deep into your heart -- because Aristotle is in everybodys head. THE WHOLE EDUCATION SYSTEM OF THE WORLD BELIEVES IN ARISTOTLE -- although for the very advanced scientific minds Aristotle is out of date. HE NO LONGER APPLIES. Science has gone beyond Aristotle because science has come closer to existence. And now science understands that LIFE IS DIALECTICAL, NOT LOGICAL.
