Hmmmm...

I've a fan of Unificationist thought, which outlines a clear and logical explanation of the dual nature of existence and the cosmos, as well as the relationship dynamic between these dual aspects.

e.g.

• The cosmos exists as the creation of the Creator (the Source, the pre-singularity, God, etc), embodying both internal character and external form, like 2 sides of the same coin
• On the cosmic level, that equates to a spiritual world (higher frequency) and material world (physical universe) (lower frequency)
• on the individual level, that equates to one's mind (spirit) and one's body (flesh)
• all created beings exhibit this duality - internal (invisible) character that directs, and external (visible) form that responds and acts accordingly : laws of physics - particles, atoms, etc = mineral forms : plant nature - plant forms = plant species : animal instincts - animal bodies = animals : mind - body = humans
• These two dual aspects of existence relate together as: invisible - visible; internal - external; initiator - responder; governing ruler - responding partner (i.e. leader - follower)
• all energy for existence, action, multiplication derives from a reciprocal relationship of give & receive action between 2+ partners, and in the above cases, the two dual aspects relate together which equals LIFE and existence ('death' occurs when the mind (spirit) and the body (flesh) part ways)
• in unity, the two aspects, derived from the Creator's own nature, become united into a new whole, in a 3 step process which can be labeled as Origin - Division - Union process

Origin: The Source (God) has both an inner nature (consciousness) and an 'external' (or responsive) form (a sort of pre-energy, that underlies all energy within the cosmos)

Division: In the Creation process, the Creator manifests these dual aspects as divided partners: e.g. as mind and body in humans

Union: the divided dual aspects engage in a giving and receiving relationship (e.g. instructions/directions + response/action) which results in a union: e.g. a living human being

The Union thereby reflects the original unity of the Creator (God) and thus, now a reciprocal relationship is created between the Creator and the Created, as internal/external, character and form. All humans were originally created to manifest God's full nature, so that God's spirit and consciousness (internal character) would manifest through human beings (the external form or expression of God's being).

Thus, all human beings were created as divine children, as the manifestation of the Source or Origin of the universe.

This perfect, ideal structure and design was thrown into chaos when the original human ancestors deviated from the Creator's guidelines, and became corrupted (fell). That's the reality behind the story in the Bible of the Garden of Eden.

Anyway, there are many other dimensions to this framework (how energy is exchanged, how growth occurs, what is responsibility and what role does it play, etc) but personally, I've found the explanation and clarification of the dual nature of the cosmos to fit extremely well with the observed reality I live in everyday.
