In a world of duality, every experience is fabricated in pairs of opposites, like compassion and brutality. You feel complete if you accept this polarity but incomplete if you choose to suppress your psychological brutality to only appear compassionate.
From Duality Hack #6.1 in Alexius’ Duality Hacks.
If in sync with the brain’s script, you feel as entertained by going down as you do by going up. One confirms the other, like two sides of a coin. That is the way of duality. All experiences are made up of duality pairs with opposing elements.

The interplay of the opposing sides in the duality pairs is vitalising. However, since the special self excludes the dark side of a duality pair in its perception of itself, it does not feel enlivened by duality. Yet, it avoids correcting its mistake because it fears the darkness it has excluded will devour it. So even though exclusion makes it suffer, it prefers to keep splitting the duality pairs into distinct elements to keep its darkness away.

In a world of duality, there is no compassion without brutality and vice versa. But since they are interconnected, you neither have compassion nor brutality but their constant interplay, namely, the duality flow. That is unless you separate the opposing elements of this duality pair into distinct elements, not supporting but fighting each other.

The brain claims it processes our experiences based on sensory information. But the brain creates all our experiences from nothing, making them look like something. That is why, even with our eyes closed, the brain can produce images inside us of the world believed to be outside. Exposing the brain’s deception seems scary, as it reveals we are nobody. But accepting that our appearance is the brain’s fantasy, it becomes entertaining to experience being someone.
You think you are alive when the heart beats and dead when it stops, but you neither live nor die. What you believe in being consists of mechanics working together to maintain an image of someone in a world of duality. It is similar to appearing as someone in a computer game. The creator has set it so you feel like someone in its fantasy world when you live by it.
Since the brain is the creator of duality, going along with its game of twofoldness, you feel together. But you feel alone if you insist on having singular feelings and opinions. Fixing your loneliness with specific solutions enhances it.

The basic and special self progresses as scripted by the brain because nobody can change its script. Nevertheless, the special self fools itself into believing it has the power to create its life. It does that by assigning special meanings to events. For example, if somebody dies, the person is not done for but on a new journey. If others question that interpretation, they are condemned for attacking a higher truth. And if science proves it is wrong, the special self says their facts are a hoax.

Like in role-play, everything is make-believe. However, when you follow the instructions of the game master, you have fun in a made-up world. Likewise, appearing as someone in a world of duality is entertaining when you do not try to add or subtract something from the instructions you get from the brain.

By suppressing the feelings you dislike, you also conceal those you like because all experiences are coupled in good and bad a world of duality. Therefore, since you are not in touch with the present moment, you plan the next one to be better. But it makes you feel stressed, so you do not enjoy the planned moment. Thus, you start planning the following one. And on it goes.

The basic self does not get afterwards or before. However, it is not because it lives in the now. It does not get that either. All it gets is the flow of thoughts from the brain, and since it constitutes the world of duality that it experiences, everything is fine as it is. That does not mean the basic self does not help others. They are also in the flow of thoughts.

The happiness you feel when in sync with the brain’s script is comparable to the joy you feel when singing along with the music you like. Being out of sync is similar to feeling disturbed by the same music because you want to concentrate on something judged better. [Photo: Alexius]
Whether you deny or accept the brain’s script, you are in a relationship with it. And since that confirms the foundation of the script, namely that there is more than One, the brain is grateful. So, it rewards you with shots of happiness. However, you do not notice them if you fight the brain.

If you do not make up a perception that seems to alter the brain’s script, you confirm that the brain supplies you with everything needed to appear as someone, thus feeling safe.

For the special self, happiness comes from having the best, whereas it comes from having a perception in sync with the brain for the basic self.

Do not expect the basic self to have a merry-go-round life. If it had, it would not know that happiness does not come from a particular set-up but from a perception in sync with the brain’s script.

When you binge-watch a TV show, you end up so blown out that there are no perceptions left but those in sync with the show’s script – like when the basic self happily participates in each episode of the adventure the brain produces.

Being the basic self is like being in intensive care in a hospital, except you are not sick, but still, somebody watches out for you. Actually, it is the same for the special self, but contrary to the basic one, it avoids being taken care of by the brain because it perceives itself as independent. However, that perception is even more illusionary than believing to be someone definitive because, within that belief, everything experienced is a product of the brain, including the experience of independence.

Some confuse the basic self with being Enlightened. However, since the brain fabricates the experience of being someone, and the Enlightenment of that which is One erases all experiences, what you experience to be cannot be Enlightened.

Some think the basic self is without ego, lives in the now and comes from the heart. They are right to assume that it is not egoistic. However, the basic self does not know about living in the now, coming from the heart or anywhere other than the brain. Like a self-driving car accepts commands from the internet, the basic self follows the brain’s rules.
You do not appear in a physical world to realise something. The only purpose of your experiences, including those interpreted as spiritual, is to feel entertained by nothing twisted into something.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
Although the brain creates your experiences from nothing, you should address them as something because believing in something is the reason you appear as someone in a world of duality. Hence, you must acknowledge your belief if you want to undo duality.

You may ask, where are the facts behind Alexius’ Duality Hacks? But there are no facts in a world of duality because reality is non-duality, which is formless, thus endless. So, a world of duality is a mirage – including Alexius’ Duality Hacks. Nevertheless, they do not try to hide they are nothing. Instead, they expose it. That is why you can use them to realise what and where you believe in being is nothing disguised as something to hide reality.
