The Duality between Construction and Destruction

[Philipp]

I have heard a few time that pursuing enlightenment is a destructive process. It's believing nothing. But you can realize that believing nothing is also a constructive process. Going from All to Nothing is the same as going from Nothing to All. 

What are your thoughts?

I like this frame. We need to construct a thing called a "belief" and a thing called "nothing" to believe in. Yet we can deconstruct this to Nothing. What comes prior to the construct of belief of Nothing? Poof! Nothing.  

As well, we can construct to Everything. We can construct an infinite number of connections between things that there are no longer things. One Everything. 

Through full deconstruction or construction we arrive at Nothing = Everything. . . We are in a balance of deconstruction and construction. Two sides of the same coin. For me, the subjective  experience of deconstruction and construction has similar, yet also distinct feelings. For example, imagine we have an idea we are very attached and identified with. Something like "I am a human being". We could ask "what is a human being". We can further create complex structures of human-ness. For example, we could and nuances of human-ness or see inter-connections between humans and other life forms. Or we could deconstruct and examine the idea of human-ness itself. We might ask "What was I before I thought I was a human. Where did the idea of "human" come from?" 

In terms of transcending the personal construct, I've found deconstruction to be key. In terms of existential questions like "what is intelligence", I've found both deconstruction and construction to be of value. And there is also re-construction. Formless can have an infinite number of forms such that Formless = Form.

Yes they collapse into One.

Construction = destruction.

Destructing something is constructing nothing, and constructing something is destructing nothing.

But the highest understanding is to realize it's all happening within Oneness, within THIS... there's nothing happening outside of THIS.

There is only THIS and it is YOU!!

That's Non-Duality ❤

Inspect beliefs, identify & reality. Directly experience you are “everything & nothing”. Short of that, like you mentioned, you’re constructing beliefs.
