Alexius uses the standard colour theory to illustrate that opposites cancel out each other when they meet, thus bringing you into a state of not-knowing. From that state, you return to the conscious experience with the slate wiped clean or leave it forever.
Duality Hack #4.5 in Alexius’ Duality Hacks.
According to science, two worlds were about to evolve milliseconds after the Big Bang: one of matter and another of antimatter. But matter and antimatter cannot coexist. As in the above illustration, they release an incredible amount of energy if they meet, making them disappear in one big flash. Consequently, the brain excludes antimatter from our awareness to make way for the experience of a tangible universe.
But since antimatter is hidden, it cannot define an experience of matter. Hence, the brain divides our experience of matter into contrasts that, unlike matter and antimatter, coexist as two sides of a coin to explain each other. Below, we explore the brain’s duality world using the standard complementary colour model.
The brain automatically
neutralises contrasts
Cancelling out contrast, thus duality can be compared to complementary colours cancelling out each other when combined. For example, if you perceive something as red, the brain generates its complementary colour inside you. You can also see it outside if you stare at red for thirty seconds to a minute and quickly look at a white surface.
The complementary colour of red depends on which colour model you have conditioned yourself to use. In the case of RYB, the complementary colour of red is green, but it is cyan in the RGB model (see the colour wheel illustration).
The older generation has adapted to RYB and CMYK (the colours of darkness), the basis for painting and printing. However, the new generation and those who have had glimpses of Enlightenment use RGB (the colours of light), which is used in television and electronic media. Check out this site for more info about the colour wheel.
As already said, it takes about thirty seconds to see the complementary colour of red outside you. But inside you, the brain immediately equals the amount of red with its contrast. Hence, red and its complementary colour cancel out each other, and neutral grey takes their place (see the complementary colours illustration), making you feel empty, thus in the bliss of nothing.

The blue around this image contrasts the photo’s average colour, brownish orange. Hence, you can experience the completeness of duality without the brain producing it. However, the amount of two contrasting colours is equal saturation-wise, so they quickly cancel out each other. Therefore, you are in the bliss of nothing since you see something you do not perceive as specific. [Colour calculation per RGB: Alexius]
Relative or definitive
First, the brain creates a duality experience via contrasting elements defining each other. If you do not interfere, the opposing parts cancel themselves out when they meet. They are replaced by neutral grey, which wipes your slate clean. Then, the brain starts all over, making dual experiences with new contrasts defining each other. Hence, you explore new ones with an unconditioned mind.
However, most do not want their slate wiped clean. They hang onto their conditioned ways of perceiving the world distinctly. So, in the context of the colour models, they prevent complementary colours from meeting and being replaced by neutral grey. For example, they perceive red as a singular colour by excluding its contrast, cyan, from their awareness.
If you want to undo duality, you must comply with it to make its opposing sides meet and thus cancel duality.
But by doing that, they miss neutral grey’s relaxation (a state of not knowing). Instead, they get stressed from holding on to something specific. The same applies to any other duality pair where you prevent the opposing elements, such as love and hate, from meeting.
If the opposing sides of a contrast meet, like these RGB colours, they disappear in neutral grey. Hence, duality does not seem to hide there is nothing but non-duality since it is formless, thus endless.
In a world of duality, everything is twofold, not singular
In non-duality, there is no completeness because it requires more than one. But in duality, everything is divided into opposing elements. Hence, you feel complete when you are in sync with the constant interaction between opposites,
However, being in the duality flow feels wrong if you look for a specific experience of love or something else you want to uphold as singular, not dual. Therefore, in the case of love, you sidestep the interaction of love and hate to visualise unconditional love.
Nevertheless, all experiences are conditioned by their complement. So when you exclude your hatred from your awareness, you have nothing to define your love. Hence, love becomes empty until you do not override duality with conditioned ideas of singularity.
In a world of duality, every experience is built by a pair of contrasting elements. Therefore, you feel incomplete if you split the duality pairs into singular elements to have a love experience excluded from its complementary part, hate.
Fortunately, you quickly solve the struggle between duality and singularity. In the context of the colour theory, you include the colour you have excluded to perceive its complementary colour as singular. Therefore, since the complementary colours meet they cancel out each other, and you reach a state of not-knowing.
In a world of duality, every experience comes in pairs of opposing elements to define each other, such as black defining white and vice versa or hate defining love and vice versa. However, non-duality has no contrasts, thus nothing to be or see. Luckily, that is unnecessary because non-duality is formless, thus endless. Hence, you are everything when not being and seeing something.
Exploring duality’s contrasts or undoing them
Please be aware that you should not remain in a state of not-knowing unless you want to leave duality permanently. When it has wiped your slate clean, you return to the conscious experience of duality to have fun exploring it.
You automatically stop exploring duality when you have had enough of more than one. Then, you do not see anything since that requires more than one. No worries. When not seeing something, there is nothing to hide that which is you is the formlessness of non-duality
