eal essence of falsehood exists in that<br />

which is truer than true. That small<br />

existence is what allows verity to be<br />

recognized, for without the yin, there can be no<br />

yang; there must be equilibrium. They are because<br />

the other is. I am because you are; therefore I am<br />

a necessary creation of balance. There is an equal<br />

and opposite force for everything. This force<br />

creates a never-ending chain reaction of causes<br />

and effects.<br />

Humans only realize they are alive because death<br />

has shown itself in a scientifically undeniable way.<br />

In all stories that depict one idea or way of life<br />

being unanimously accepted by humans, there<br />

is always a negative catalyst or some figure or<br />

force that opposes the consensus. In the Bible<br />

this necessary evil is represented by Lucifer.<br />

This represents the basic a well-known balance<br />

between good and evil. Humans will never<br />

see world peace. Humans will never see world<br />

destruction until the Sun destroys the Earth. Even<br />

the most powerful force known to man, nature,<br />

is controlled by balance. All hurricanes have<br />

constraints and inevitably lose strength and return<br />

to calm weather. All fires will eventually go out.<br />

he universe has a pattern in which it grows,<br />

prospers, and eventually terminates itself.<br />

Then it regenerates itself and the cycle<br />

continues infinitely. The nature of the world is<br />

to remain on this repetitive cycle. Humans are<br />

merely a temporary disease to the Earth; an<br />

annoying scratch on the Earth’s back.<br />

here have been many “beings” that have<br />

existed wherever they could survive in<br />

the universe. “Beings” must use time,<br />

which is a device of our own imagination, not<br />

of reality because “beings” are transitory and<br />

meaningless to the universe. Infinite is a concept<br />

that “beings” cannot understand because nothing<br />

we experience or have is infinite.<br />

he universe does not exist, it just is.<br />

“Beings” exist because we are not actually<br />

a part of the cycle of the universe. “Beings”<br />

aren’t actually permanent. “Beings” have souls<br />

or energy trapped inside the measurable limits<br />

of “being”. The planets and stars and moons<br />

and galaxies are all “beings” as well. They are<br />

eventually terminated by the cycle. The universe<br />

is like a wheel on a bicycle, beings latch onto it<br />

and experience the full cycle of the wheel. As the<br />

wheel spins forward, we move forward with it until<br />

we reach the top of the wheel and as the wheel<br />

continues spinning, we are lowered and lowered<br />

until we are crushed underneath the wheel. The<br />

wheel does not lose any speed as we ride to<br />

the top or as we are demolished underneath its<br />

force. The wheel doesn’t even recognize that any<br />

“beings” are on it or even there at all.<br />

have used the example of balance to explain<br />

everything thus far, and this example helps me<br />

to understand one question that I could never<br />

answer. According to the balance that holds all<br />

this together, there must be one constant holding<br />

everything together, a center. Every balance has<br />

a centerpiece that is the Balancer, the foundation,<br />

the origin. The center of a balance creates the<br />

equilibrium. In the center, there is no struggle<br />

to make anything better or worse, there is no<br />

need for help, it is perfect. A wheel has a center,<br />

a radius. The radius has radii that connect it to<br />

almost every part of the wheel. The radius is a<br />

point of balance and equilibrium.<br />

n the balance of all things, in the wheel of<br />

the universe’s cycle, there is the perfect origin<br />

and final destination at which all energy starts<br />

and returns. This brings me to my final point.<br />

Relating the yin and yang theory, for there to be<br />

life there must be death. Therefore, the energy<br />

and spirit that sent life from the perfect origin to<br />

the “beings”, the same equal and opposite force,<br />

must return us to the origin. Life does not end and<br />

then death begins; life transposes into death, and<br />

death is when we cease to exist and truly “are.”<br />

Emily Dickinson describes the soul of “beings” as<br />

“finite infinite.” As a “being,” we are trapped in a<br />

mere existence. When the balance tilts and rates<br />

are once again made equal, the finite part that<br />

makes one a “being” is negated by the origin, and<br />

all that is left is infinite, the infinite the origin has<br />

sacrificed for a soul.
