What You See Is What You Get 
As Long As What You See Is What Is There

Dualism - Yin-Yang - The Dance of Chaos and Order.
Creation and The Universe have been described 
with concepts such as these, expressed as existential border states,
the inviolate limiting factors inherent in how it all works.

But pesky weirdness thrives throughout all of this.
Or so it seems when what we see is what we get.
Behind it all, what is there? We can't help but wonder.

We detect hidden order in chaos 
and masked chaos in the appearance of any order.
The Dance of Shiva at once is balanced 
and precariously unpredictable 
in ways that can't be explained 
while remaining consistent enough to be a known constant. 

The Pendulum of Opposites, 
The Pendulum of Time appearing to advance,
Even The Pendulum of Persistent On-Off Tension, 
the very pull between Certainty and Doubt within us - 

Perhaps these are subject to yet another, deeper principle,
an expanding interplay of connections and probabilities, 
a more involved form of Dualism/Yin-Yang/Chaos and Order,
a second/third/fourth/most likely unlimited progression 
of coupled cause and effect states always at play within the nature 
and expression of what appears to us to be existential border states.

Perhaps the interactive cascade among all of these 
only appears to be difficult to grasp because these are systems 
less like Plain Dualism and more like the motions of 
Multivarious Dual Pendulums, and as we go into it, we find
a Multitude of Multivarious Pendulums,
each dual in aspect, yet all aspects in turn logarithmically dual.

If we don't see deeper, progressing secondary principles at work,
then all we witness is the surface Dance of Shiva that results.
Attempting to grasp it all would entail extending all principles 
to the infinite vanishing points of creative potential,
then fathoming The Logos of the Wholly Unknowable,
the still point of the turning wheel where All is contained.

But what if the real magic is far simpler and entirely up to us.

Regardless how big or infinite or complex 
the systems and principles of existence may appear to be,
it seems each moment presents us with an opportunity
to set the energy of the initial state, 
and that initial state determines the prime input 
to the system of all systems. 

Depending on the slightest impulse from us,
the dominoes of existential principles are set in motion.
And from moment to moment those motions become our lives,
a road created in front of us by us as we traverse it.
