Trimurthi in Nature

Hi folks,

I have compiled a list of the Trimurthi in nature: that is a theme of one central element along with 2 opposing elements. I was interested in doing so after a personal spiritual experience. However the list has practically no religious element. It does have some links with yin yang. The link to the Excel file is below. You can preview through the link without downloading:

I realize some of the categories are too simple but the scientific ones are more interesting. The opposing factors there may not be readily apparent but post in here and I'll explain. I am looking for those interested in helping me add and build the list over time if possible so your suggestions and ideas are welcome. Thanks....

No time even to say hello?

Hi folks I'm a guy with a computer

What argument is there that red and blue are extremes in opposition, but green is neutral?

or XYZ dimensions, for that matter?

Hi Flappy

one central element with two opposing elements

in the wavelengths of light, red is at a higher wavelength, blue is at a lower and green is more centered. There is some overlap though. XYZ is just based on the direction of the planes. I'll agree its somewhat weak though.....

What about YYZ

*shreds amazing drum solo*

what on earth

science, like nature, must also be tamed with a view towards its preservation

what on earth

Why not say Orange Violet Indigo then? If you're talking wavelengths then the ends of the visible spectrum would make better extremes. But then you wouldn't have a clear third color.

Sweet Dreams, Status Jim.

Excretion: Penis / Rectum / Urethra

if the female of a species expels urine through the urethra, then so does the male. it just so happens that in male mammals (and some other animals?), the urethra runs through the penis.

Sex3: Gay / Heterosexual / Lesbian

how can "lesbian" be opposed to "gay" if lesbians are gay? it would make a little more sense if you replaced "gay" with "gay man", but even then I don't see how gay men and gay women are at the opposite end of a continuum with straight people in the middle.

these, and a lot of the other entries on your list, are less "one central element with two opposing elements" and more "three items that belong to the same category, arranged in no particular order to fit into your theory".

The opposite extreme of the rectum is really the mouth.

The wavelengths of light visible to the human eye cover a small part of the spectrum. The two ends of that limited scope are somewhat arbitrary. Other creatures see more of the spectrum than we do, others less. Plus, the wavelength spectrum continues past the points that any creature can detect using its unaided senses.

The opposite extreme of the rectum is really the mouth.

They run on a spectrum of ass to mouth, if you will.

damn near killed em

Folks, I picked Red, green, blue because I thought the human retinal cones matched those wavelengths more closely. I'm no scientist and I picked what I wrote based one day of thought and scanning wikipedia. If you think it is too inaccurate I can remove it. In fact, I already removed about half of the list to get rid of semantic opposites and stuff I wasn't sure about. For example Directions and Seasons are gone even though I think it valid and interesting that the category exists in a triad in that manner. That still leaves about 25 elements.

As for rectum, the category is Excretion so I don't think mouth would fit in there unless your mouth is throwing up or something. Anyway, rectum is a central category so it doesn't need an opposing element. Also, I chose Penis and Urethra because those are the names of frontal male/female excretory organs. No one calls the male excretory organ an urethra except maybe in medical situations with a medical problem. Anyway, I removed this too.

But thank you for all this input. When I posted this link on other forums I got mostly zero input.

can you provide a link to those other forum posts?

i have compiled a list of all the chicks i've banged, y'all wanna see it?

dylann, why would you want that? its word for word the same post.

iglesias, sure it would be cool but do you list the number of times or were they all one-nighters?

Don't be mean to Julio Iglesias.

I'm not being mean.....merely curious....guy could be a swinger for all I know. 8-)

i want to keep an eye on the competition, buddy.

dylann, there is NO competition. yer safe and sound...

Me too interested in these other forums. Links?

Well, if you folks want links so bad:

i agree with jayaram, i think the list would be more interesting if there was more consistency in how you picked your extremes, otherwise a lot of your oppositions seem totally arbitrary

coming from a math point of view i can't agree w/ x-y-z as being two extremes and a neutral, makes no sense

Perhaps i shouldn't have picked neutral as the definition. Central would have been more apt.
Even in the Trimurthi, which is what the list is based, Vishnu is central not neutral. Also, like I said, I've removed about 25 elements from the list where people might only see word opposites. Even in XYZ, Z is a more central plane than X and Y. If you folks are interested you can check out the new list.

When I was picking 'central' for the list, my criteria was either elements from either opposite or no elements from either opposite. The latter criteria was how neutral cropped up.

sorry "elements from either opposite" should be "elements from both opposites"

currently watching The Bourne Identity....whoo, awesome film, book would prolly have been even better.....got the whole trilogy on my hard drive.

are you going to join us on the other threads on ilx?

BOURNE - C/D

slock1 entered that thread late to share his thoughts about another bourne movie. he said it reminded him of a pepsi commercial. i welcome you to share your thoughts about bourne identity there.

thanks, dylann. will check it out....not much of a chatter though, more of an introvert. It's just that this triad thing has really caught my imagination.

can you give us a brief timeline of your developing interest in 2 opposing elements, one central element triads?

when did it come to you? do you know the story of murakami spontaneously deciding he could write a novel after watching a child being run down and crushed by a cement truck?

are you into music? we have also have a forum called I LOVE MUSIC, where you can discuss music. some popular threads this week are about rock t-shirts, kelis in 2013, zen arcade, and record stores in los angeles

Satsujin - there's a book you may be interested to see called 'The Two Hands of God: the myths of polarity' by Alan Watts which is a collection of essays around a central theme that explicit opposition (e.g. light/dark, good/evil) conceals implicit unity, with examples from Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, Iranian, and Christian sources.

What kind of reminded me of it was your mention of a spiritual experience. He felt motivated to put this book together - it's like an annotated/commented anthology- in the early 60s after his own spiritual experiences (partly of a psychedelic origin though) in the late 50s.

(Bob Six), found the book online and will give it a looksee. However, the preface seems to mention the Trinity a lot and the google reviews seem to be base it on the duality of Eastern religions which I have already looked into to some great extent. Like reading about Taoism and yin yang.

dylann, my spiritual experience was caused by recovery from my last psychosis. I have had 3 psychoses in my life, all based on hell but have only been conscious for the last one. That was my worst experience in life and I will say no more about it than I thought I was dead and in hell and being punished in a disgusting way. I slipped in a deep depression, lost self-esteem and confidence. Then, one day, maybe about a half-year ago, while I was recuperating in an Ayurvedic hospital, a voice began speaking in my head saying it was the voice of God. It told me that God had a dual nature in the world, two opposites but also complementary e.g. Death is necessary for life to continue. I couldn't get my head around the concept that two spirits had begun existing at once so adopted the concept that these two 'Gods' must have split off from a central one who just observes. The voice was always benign and helped me come out of my depression and left me with messages and values that helped me change my life. I realize I sound crazy for listening to voices but the experience felt very real at the time. I used to be an agnostic leaning towards atheism but am now an agnostic leaning towards theism.
