A grid is a framework, network, or even a matrix. A grid is also a choice, not a fact. On Earth, we tend to think of the idea of a grid in relational or physical terms, i.e., the economic system, the energy grid. Applying non-duality, however, we know immediately that the relational or physical is always effect, so any and all grids naturally have a thought precursor or cause. A grid, then, is a thought or even a collection of thoughts with some common themes. You might consider that the common themes are consciousness or awareness boundaries.
You might then see each grid line as a specific idea or identity parameter. Any of these parameters may manifest experientially. For example, if one of the grid lines is the idea of presumed scarcity, then an experiential grid line seen in a relationship between two people may be possessiveness. Accompanying possessiveness could be various emotions like jealousy or envy. In turn, experiential relational scarcity between nations seems to lead to competition, xenophobia, protectionism, an arms race, and even war.
Within the grid, intersections (or collisions of thoughts) of various angles may represent the degree of harmony or opposition between the ideas at play. One might presume that if a circle defines the macrocosmic conceptual unit, a one-hundred and eighty degree distance between points may represent completely oppositional ideas – two polarities of one spectrum.
You may be discerning that interpreting the implications of a grid can be quite the lengthy and laborious pursuit. The point here, however, is not to go on that trek right now but simply to point out that the seeming complexity that appears in any experienced reality can always be reverse-engineered to the original core thought assumptions. And, those assumptions, in every case without fail, are about identity – the identity definition of self and of the relationship of apparent others to self.
Some of you might be detecting that if thought constellations are as common as a set of toy kaleidoscopes, the mind is, in fact, unbounded in reality – or its magnitude is simply not recognizable through perception’s lens – which is the ego’s universal divining rod. An acknowledgment of this alone is enough to open any mind to knowledge.
