The purpose of this blog is to free the reader from all vexation and suffering.

1. If there is a fundamental desire, it is to be free of vexation and suffering.

Consider all of humanity's endeavors to lessen vexation and suffering: Religion, philosophy, science, psychology, the legal system, medicine. Given the vast expanse of human knowledge contained within the above systems of thought:

Looking at the current condition of the human species, does it appear as though there is less physical and mental suffering than there ever has been, at any given point throughout the entire history of humanity?

Has it not been the case for every single human who has ever lived, that everything we have ever done has been to lessen vexation and suffering for both ourselves and our children? Again:

Does it appear as though there is less physical and mental suffering than there ever has been, at any given point throughout the entire history of humanity?

2. Despite all of human endeavor, the level of vexation and suffering experienced by humanity has remained unaffected.

We are are not recognizing the true source of vexation and suffering. Somehow we keep missing it. Over and over and over...

3. If there is a fundamental assumption, it is that Self is physical.

The singular function of the fundamental formula is to bring an end to all vexation and suffering. 

The fundamental formula is:

1 = 0

0 ≠ 1

Where:

0 represents You (Self/Reality)

1 represents any/every thing and any/every non-thing

_____________________________________________________________________________

Imagine that you are looking into a mirror.

This scenario represents the 1 = 0 of the equation. The 0 is you; your reflection is the 1. The recognition you have of that being your image in the mirror is the = .

In this scenario there is also a simultaneous intuition that the image is not you. That intuition is the ≠ of the formula.

Now imagine that you become so entranced with your own image that you begin believing that it actually is you. In relation to the formula, this state can be expressed as:

= 1

This is the equivalent of looking out from the mirror and not seeing anything. However, the intuition (≠) is always in operation at the fundamental level. This intuition instantly “tells” you that you still exist, even though you can't see yourself.

Having felt this intuition, you immediately seek out your true Self. If you are able to recognize yourself, consciousness will shift back into/as Self/Reality. This is reintegration of the formula back to:

1 = 0

0 ≠ 1

You are back to knowing that the image in the mirror is you and you are not the image in the mirror.

If, on the other hand, are so entranced into believing that the mirror image is your true Self/Reality that you don't recognize yourself, you will see nothingness. You will see nothingness because your reality is now the mirror reality, and all that you will recognize as being “real” is that which exhibits mirror reality qualities. All that you experience as real is the two-dimensional reality of the mirror world. The hypnotic trance you are in makes you not recognize the three-dimensional reality.

Knowing intuitively that you exist, but not seeing anything existing, your consciousness does the only thing it can – project another reality. However, all your current level of conscious knows is the mirror realm, so the best it can do is project another mirror.

You now are looking into a mirror facing a mirror. The result is an instantaneous (actually at the speed of light) propagation of infinite copies of yourself. This can be expressed as:

0 = 1

Now one might assume that, upon seeing infinite copies of yourself, this would surely remind you of your true Self/Reality, but what actually happens is the very crux of the matter.

Being that you are the reality, you can never be outside of the system. This means that you are, and always will be, between the two mirrors. The result, therefore, is an image of your back in the second mirror.*

* Keep in mind that, even though you are actually still there, in your deluded state of accepting the two-dimensional mirror realm as reality, you are unable to see your true three-dimensional Self/Reality.

Having already lost awareness of Self/Reality and feeling the intuition that something was wrong, your consciousness projected the only reality it knew at the time. Expecting to see something familiar, it sees instead a part of you that is rarely paid attention to and relatively unfamiliar.

This can plunge your consciousness into a black hole of delusion.

Before we enter the black hole, however, let us come back to “reality.” The above scenario has incorporated the following metaphors:

The you that is referred to as “the true Self/Reality” has been the physical body. The reflection in the mirror has been the entranced self/two dimensional reality.

However, in order to gain insight of the fundamental formula, we need to take this metaphoric scenario one level deeper. This deeper level is to look at the scenario from the perspective of your body representing the 0 of the formula, and the image representing the 1 of the formula. Now, if 1 is any/everything and any/every non-thing, then the literal interpretation of the fundamental formula is that the physical body is not the true Self.

In other words,

Just as the image in the mirror is a representation of your body, so is your body a representation of your true Self. This means that the acceptance of this very realm as being real, is actually a delusion.

You are in the black hole.
