Polarity and Unity

[Fool]

can anything be observable; if there is no contrast?

can anything come up; if nothing came down?

No.

The ability to observe one's self must then be through contrast.
It must also follow that this contrast is created through the interacting of a mortal and immortal consciousness.

so that contrast could also be us reflecting, mirroring.

reminds me of the george berkley quote: "to be is to be perceived"

and the line from cloud atlas.

I think for example that light can be observed without contrast.

Depends on what you are observing, ... mri scans are done with or without contrast depending on the the technicians preference. (Contrast in mri scans is a substance administered to the patient to enhance the image)

Up and down are relative

Light cannot be seen, its frequency range is far too high for the human eye to see.

What you do see is different intensities of colour on an object the light hits.

light is contrast to dark. if it was all darkness, or all light, would you even know it as light?

By my observations, light can be known without anything else. Darkness is really same as nothing, can nothing be known?

psalm 139:12

even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

Not quite. We can perceive light in a certain range of frequencies. What we see from objects is reflected light.

Experiment. Shine a laser across a vacuum, look at it from the side, can the light beam be seen? No.

Add dust to the vacuum, can the light beam be seen? Yes.
