- onenes (the absolute)
- duality
- and the harmony between them?

3 of them?

What can be oneness when it doesn't contain duality???
Seems a lot as a katholic God "the creator" - outside of everything? "Something" on its own?
i don't know...

I like this question, Lake!
In my words: if you say “oneness” what more can you say there is to it without contradicting this “oneness”? Oneness seems to be the final word.
But if it is, what does it mean?

“I don’t know” seems to be the right thing to say.
At the other hand; all words are traps; even “I don’t know” is a trap.

When we practice close reading (close listening) the words become koans.
They don’t contain the truth; they are – at best – fingers pointing at the moon; attempts to clear our minds.

Oneness does not "contain" anything.

And yes, language is by nature limited (a "trap," in Ting's words).

That's why I suggest translating the words into a language that I do not know (Turkish, Swahili, Farsi...).

yes, you are right : "contain" is wrong - completely.

words are the lies we use to tell the truth
about a reality? that alienates us from life?
