When speaking of divine truths which are without limits we are casting them into frail imperfect moulds of an earthly terrestrial language. It is these limits and they will always be limits that have hamstrung what has been given to me as well as my imperfect intellect to convey this Truth. It is like pouring an ocean into a mere cup, and a very leaky cup at that. Therefore it is essential for your spirit to witness with my spirit what SPIRIT really is saying. You cannot turn to all those comfortable religious feelings you have had in the Past, for behold the Creative Spirit of God is making "All things New."
So therefore when I use words like: Illusion or tapestry, I am still functioning within the realm of the Tree of knowledge, which is unfortunately the very Tree from which human language and understanding comes from. I am not saying illusion has no source which may be the normal interpretation of things, but it is like a stick at dusk, that appears as a snake and one is overwhelmed by Fear when it is something entirely harmless.
You are right the reverse side of a Tapestry is absolutely necessary for the beauty of the otherside to appear and be cognised. These are not easy truths to comprehend, not because they are not simple but rather our carnal minds have had 6000 years of conditioning in believing into flesh and this world to be real, and that Spirit and Heaven are but airy fairy things mind cannot grasp as reality.The Mind of Christ is the reverse of this. But while this may be so, and all this appears as a dichotomy, a greater Truth lies before us which is as Scripture says is the "Restitution of All things."
Now we see the Positive as being like Heaven, goodness and love, yet all these things are maintained by their very opposites. We cannot know Goodness apart from the bad and so forth.So your questions are very valid, but I also have many asking questions on other sites which are difficult to explain and as I run four businesses I have little time, but I do try.
Take any object you may decide on......say a tree.... and let it represent Reality.If you then photograph it you then have a negative representation in Two Dimensions, a composition of light and shade. Now the Positive side gives us the clarity of the Tree as an image we can well cognise, as we actually see it, like those beautiful places you frequent, that appear as phenomenal forms and images as this world at large. Of course animals do not have this faculty, they did not eat from the Tree of Knowledge even though they suffer from the consequences of our actions of having done that.Now this is an analogy and not perfect in all it's illustrations but I think you will get my drift. This is the Beauty you were overwhelmed with when you gaze of the pristine nature of this world, where man has not defiled it. Of course man has created beauty too, when commercial judgements are sidelined, and the almighty dollar is put aside. That is not to say beauty is not rewarded by money either. But these things are not easy to convey like Spirit can to spirit. Words and analogies all fall short.
So while the positive image appears as the reality phenomenally speaking, it is entirely dependant on the Negative Background, like that of the Tapestry, from which the positive can derive it's reality. Therefore the void on the negative, the empty bit can form the image of the Tree when it is reversed. Looking at each individually that is the positive and negative they in themselves, in isolation are ILLUSORY, unrecognisable except by Beings who can use conceptual imagery to extend there illusory existence into that which is a dichotomy of both .
So it is with us, only Spirit within your breast can see what is largely illusory in this world and perishes with the use, even a Mountain, and then transform all those bits of light received and it's various intensities into a thing of Beauty that transfixes your own Spirit into Rapture. It was not the light waves out there doing that but God's Spirit witnessing with your spirit what is in Heaven, the Reality.
Now this mind we have seen as a sensorial photographic apparatus is the means by which we see, and by which the artist creates this apparent world that surrounds us on canvas.
So in conclusion to the above, the flesh is the objective form, it is form seeing only it's like form. Though it may seek to give subjectivity to form it always fails. It fails when it sees Spirit also as separate, though the background and sustainer of all, it requires a quantum leap of faith to see what is beyond the horizon. Only when as the Gospel of James quotes Christ saying "When the Two become One, the inner as the outer, the Male the female".
When the Positive and the Negative films are overlapped equally, then NOthing appears, except God as "ALL IN ALL."
I may add the Positive is the object, and the negative is the Subject the background of Being. Their REUNION is perceived only when we know the Truth lies in the absence and the negation of this DUAL POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE STATE. Only God's Spirit as Unconditional Love manifested in the Blood of Christ as the "Life of Man" free from identification of the Christ with the Polarity of the Cross, which is foolishness to man yet to God wisdom. The Ascended Christ as the mediator of these two polarities, can in his own Being transform both the negative and the positive to Universal Reconciliation. This last part is brief as I am constrained by time, and does not give this great subject the justice it deserves.Not even Paul could do this great subject justice in Ephesians 2 and how hard he prayed for this realisation in that epistle in us.
