An oxymoron is a self-contained contradiction. We have, from time to time, talked about the idea of paradox, which is an expression of a self-contained apparent contradiction.

When you discover paradox—when you are in a situation that is filled with it—we remind you that you are then capable of knowing that you are dealing with the core of your being, the center of yourself. You are standing at the crossroads of the manifestation of the experience you are having. Because all things originate through you, coming from the center, the gateway that is you, the conduit, the channel.

In that knowledge lies the understanding that anything you experience in life happens through you, not to you. Therefore, anything that appears to be paradoxical or oxymoronic is simply the polarized representations of what, at its heart, is one thing. When expressed through you into the world of three-dimensionality, it can manifest to appear as if it were diametrically opposing concepts.

In between every two diametrically opposed concepts is the center of the truth of the idea you are dealing with. By allowing yourself to remember the axiom that in life, reality is really composed of “this and that” rather than “this or that,” you begin to allow yourself to become comfortable with paradoxical occurrences and structures.

Oxymoronic life is reality. Reality is an oxymoron. As we have said, reality is only what you define it to be, only what you perceive it to be. As such, there is no reality—but that’s what reality is. This is an oxymoronic, paradoxical statement: There is no reality except your perception of it, but that is what reality is. This is a self-contained paradox.

Examples of Self-Contained Contradictions

The Word “Oxymoron” Even your term “oxymoron” is, in and of itself, an oxymoron—a self-contradictory statement. “Oxy” refers to the idea of intelligence, while “moronic” refers to the idea of the lack thereof. Thus, oxymoron is an oxymoron.

Random Patterns Consider the phrase “random patterns,” which is also oxymoronic. Randomness is chaotic and does not appear to contain patterns, whereas patterns are orderly, structured, and apparently unrandom. Yet, as many of your scientists and mathematicians have understood, in randomness there are patterns, and patterns will, through entropy, eventually break down into randomness, which will generate patterns all over again. It is a self-perpetuating cycle, a closed circle, a loop.

Embracing Dichotomy to Find Balance

Making Friends with Paradox This reinforces the concept that life itself, the experience of reality itself, is paradoxical and oxymoronic. By making a friend of paradox, by being willing to live in dichotomy and accepting both sides of the coin so that you can have the coin, you find balance. As we have said, without one side, there cannot be the other.

Relaxing Definitions Allow yourself to relax your definitions of life so that you can begin to experience more of the paradox. This will allow you to remember that you are squarely in the center of those apparently opposing definitions. By blending those definitions together and bringing them back into the center from whence they came, you will allow yourself to achieve, maintain, and remain in the balance of life.

The Source Within Know that all things stem through you from the infinite and can be expressed in a number of ways—black and white, day and night—yet together they make up the one reality that you do appear to experience. You know that without one, you do not have the other. That is the nature of your life experience, your experience of self-awareness, and your experience of your own consciousness.

Conclusion: The Third Point of View

Connecting Opposites Do not become confused by the apparent dichotomies. Accept them both as real. In doing so, learn how to see where they connect, where an association can be made between them. In so doing, you will find a third reality, a third point of view, and your center point of power responsible for creating the original polarity manifestation.

Final Reflection Remember, reality itself is an oxymoron, a paradox. You live in it every day, every night. Accept it for what it is and find that center point. You will find the source of life within yourself, within your consciousness, with you as a reflection of the infinite—the one that is all, the all that is one. Again, another paradox.

We thank you for allowing us to reflect and remind you of this concept and this principle. Put it into action; put it to use. It will open doorways you heretofore did not perceive were present within you.

Closing Exchange

Speaker: At this time, once again, in return for the gift that you are giving our civilization and allowing us to have this communication with you, I ask: In what way may I and my world be of service to you?

Listener: The shark. You and then…
