In an earlier article, I discussed why everything in the universe is subject to asymmetric duality. Simply put, everything exists in pairs—just as many scriptures suggest—and within each pair, one element influences or dominates the other. For example, think of our two hands: both function, but usually one is dominant.
Though that example is straightforward, the concept is not always so simple. Pairs and their priorities can take many forms, far more complex than just two arms or two legs.
So, what does it mean when one element in a pair dominates? It reveals a tendency toward singularity within duality. But does that singularity sustain itself? No. Instead, it eventually merges with another singular element from a different pair, forming a new pair. Then, just as before, one element of that new pair dominates or emerges, pushing the process forward to the next level of pairing.
This continual drive toward singularity is what propels each pair into becoming the next. It’s the force that sustains the universe—a kind of progression or motion that can’t be measured by simply dividing distance by time.
The pull toward singularity destabilizes each pair, creating asymmetry within duality. This very asymmetry becomes the catalyst for forming the next pair. Spiritually speaking, while duality gives us life and structure, our essence tends to move toward oneness.
Could this be a universal law—one that applies to all things?
