two state oscillator

one is down it is all dark
one is up it is all light

the flame ignites
and the switch is a fact

is it light by itself?
the walls of demands shielding the light to appear

opposing your own ego
and let go

use the ego's weapon of dualism to the non-self advantage
when both dualism and non-dualism take each other out
what is left?
