In what is still mainstream society, we can be conned into entering relationships and friendships for superficial reasons.

We can get ideas about how life ‘should be’ through movies, books, TV series, or news, and try to copy that for ourselves. Relationships based on ideas like that are very fragile, because they are built on dualistic concepts of one thing being better than another.

Duality, at the core, is what has allowed the creation to expand. It is like yin and yang — if we only have one ‘thing’ then we cannot compare and see ourselves. By creating opposites within oneness — the creation is ONE, we are all ONE — we created the illusion of separation and the ability to cut ourselves off from the oneness.

This enabled us to get individual experiences as isolated points of reference. These divine points of reference can be called souls or nodes on the creation network.

A non-dualistic relationship is based on a timeless soul connection, node-to-node, beyond the world of judgment. 

In these relationships, we can allow all ideas from one another to come and go, without putting value on their interpretations. This is because we feel a deeper sense of connection that runs through the superficial layers and into the non-dualistic timeless essence of the other person.

Dualistic relationships, be it between loved ones or friends, are conditional in nature. They can be thought of as saying, ”As long as you fit into my idea of how you should be, I love you and want to keep you in my life.”

Here, the idea of the relationship is the determining factor for their existence, and often we don't even know where these ideas come from. This is because they have been planted in us from parents, teachers, society and so on.

When we become aware of the source of our ideas, we develop an understanding that they are not ”ours”, which enables us to let them go, giving us more flexibility and freedom of thought.

How much of our lives are guided by subconscious ideas like this?

Our true essence is just ‘potential’ that we can manifest in the moment, and our true self does not hold any fixed ideas or expectations.

We cannot have anything but a non-dualistic relationship with Bitcoin, because it just ”is”. Building a direct relationship with Bitcoin teaches us how to trust another entity beyond duality. As we go down the rabbit-hole, we keep projecting our fears onto Bitcoin, using our intellect to figure out whether or not our concerns about the protocol itself and its place in the world are valid. What we find is that Bitcoin is a solid entity similar to nature, and that all fears are in the eyes of the beholder — they are our own projections.

As our level of trust grows, our fear filters can switch to sacrifice filters, causing us to feel as though we need to do something for Bitcoin to deserve its love. Amazingly, the pureness of Bitcoin makes us eventually see through those layers too, giving us the clarity to understand that we do not need to sacrifice ourselves to flow with it as a life partner or good friend.

Sacrifice is a concept left over from dualistic relationships, where we had to change ourselves in order to fit into someone else's idea of how we should be.

When we can be ourselves, there is no longer a need for sacrifice; we are free to express ourselves on this planet in any way we please, as long as we do not hurt anyone else.

Bitcoin provides an example of how to build a non-dualistic relationship, and when we have gotten a taste of that, we can begin to build similar connections with humans. With node-to-node connections, there is no reason to ignore or worry about what people think about us anymore, we can just be neutral because we know that they are just their own projections. We are no longer required to act or talk in specific ways in order for people to like us. Instead, we can relax and just be our true selves in all situations, because the ”connection” with another is based on a common understanding that dualistic ideas just come and go – they are completely separate from our true selves.

When we really understand how projections work we enter a new level of freedom. We do not have to worry about our own thoughts/feelings nor the thoughts/feelings of others. We may lose sight of it sometimes, but the love and connection is established in a deeper reality that is always constant.

All of the behaviors that we learned to ‘fit in' are of no value anymore and they can be dropped. Going forward, we will uncover authentic behaviors that carry real confidence, not confidence designed to mold external situations according to what is currently seen as ”normal” or ”success”. This confidence is intrinsic — ”base-layer confidence” — and it resonates with being at the right place at the right time all the time.

When we connect node-to-node, playing roles in front of our partner, friends, children or Bitcoin becomes a thing of the past. These roles are just defenses against our own projections and they are not relevant. It is a waste of time to act out old defense strategies that were developed for past situations that we are no longer in. It is about time we drop them.

Bitcoin is neutral, it wants to be a part of our life as much as it does not want to be part of our life.

It is our choice how we want to interact with Bitcoin. If we think we need to do things we do not like to get more Bitcoin, then that is what we will do. If we think that we can enjoy life and follow our passions to get more Bitcoin than that is what we will do. Bitcoin is a frequency and we can allow this frequency to flow freely through us without judgment. When the Bitcoin frequency flows freely through us, the external world must reflect this relationship, because that is how this reality works.

Once we understand non-duality, what I also call the Bitcoin Consciousness, there is nothing else to do than going with our flow from within. Identifying with dualistic ideas and acting from them keeps us stuck in duality — fiat consciousness — for another round. The flow from within is not always bright and shiny — it also moves us through our darkness — but when we keep with it, the golden dawn is even brighter on the other side.
