The illogicality of the parable – Why the dual world is breaking apart / Series: Man finds himself

Man finds himself – A poetic-philosophical series about memory, attitude and silence.

This series unfolds an inner movement – from memory to posture and resonance to openness and silence. Not a step-by-step path, but a condensation of presence. A space in which people can find themselves.

The parable begins where the world divides. Not because it is divided, but because the word demands it. Every form that seeks to reveal something casts a shadow over that which cannot be revealed. And in this shadow, duality arises: image and origin, meaning and carrier, inside and outside.

But the parable is illogical. It points without guiding. It explains without knowing. It opens up a direction that dissolves again at the same moment. The separation it creates is only an echo of its own movement.

Human beings move within this echo. They believe they are making choices, while something within them has long since decided. Impulses arise like the weather: hunger, desire, protection, closeness, defence. Thinking comes later, like a chronicler who only writes history once it is over. The world appears divided in two because perception is divided in two.

But sometimes something accumulates. A force that does not immediately burst outwards. An energy that does not follow the impulse, but turns inwards, becomes denser, clearer. Not as renunciation, but as redirection. Not as morality, but as movement.

In this condensation, duality loses its sharpness. The low and the high, the instinctual and the spiritual, the will and the becoming – they dissolve like lines in the fog. What remains is not unity, but a space without direction. A space in which energy no longer reacts, but shapes.

The subconscious speaks in images that are older than thought. Those who do not recognise them are guided by them. Those who recognise them are opened up by them. The boundary between ‘I act’ and ‘It acts in me’ becomes permeable until it disappears.

The inner architecture begins to respond. Not in words, but in shifts. In clarity. In silence. The outer world follows, because it was never separate.

This is how the dual world breaks down: not through violence, but through insight. Not because it is wrong, but because it was only a tool. A scaffold that is discarded as soon as one sees that it no longer supports anything.

What remains is not a new parable. It is the end of the need to use one.
