"One Mind there is; but under it two principles contend."
Dick, Philip K. (1981). Valis
This forms the very basis of the Chian doctrine. One mind, two principles. How can one mind contend against itself? How can one mind house two principles in contention with one another?
Chians are abnormally aware of the infinite Improbability of any one principle being the right one, or the true one. A Chians mind is never at rest. Constant arguing with yourself is to be expected, and while losing may be unimaginable, you will.
"One mind there is..." The mind in question here is the mind of a Chian. Those who are unenlightened can never truly understand the twisted reality of a Chian practitioner. Constant Probability shifts which constantly thwart a Chians ability to enrich his or her Good Times Quotient are the mainstay of a Chians day.
"...but under it two principles contend." This is of course a metaphorical "two". The two here signifies multiplicity, more than mere duality. In the realm of the Highly Improbable, nothing is dualistic. There is never a right and wrong, a true and false, a good and bad. If the world were that simple, you wouldn't be reading this.
Many non-Chians find more than enough satisfaction in grappling with a common-worldly duality, the same simplistic lifestyle perpetuated by mass media and Western politics, but look around you and revel in the multitudinous facets of life; explore, probe, seek and learn. Enjoy. |
