The idea I’ve been playing with the last couple of days and especially in this morning’s journaling is the pairs of opposites. It came up in two different books I’m reading, and the idea certainly isn’t new to me by any stretch but there’s something that I think is finally sinking in.
Every idea seems to have opposite polarities so to speak. Acceptance/rejection, love/disdain, peace/conflict, control/chaos, faith/fear, etc, etc. We tend to resist one polarity while embracing the other, but each idea actually contains both. What I’m just starting to realize is that in order to experience wholeness, I can no longer reject either polarity but rather I need to learn to live more in the tension between the two even while I am focusing on one. It’s like the indigenous two wolf analogy. Both wolves live within us but it’s the one we feed that wins out. It isn’t about fighting the idea we do not want but rather not feeding it our energy through our resistance to it which, by the way, is usually quite unconscious. So, it’s more about begin curious when I find myself polarized about what it is I have been rejecting and to embrace it all while keeping my focus and giving my energy to the one I choose to manifest.
I’m having fun just hanging out with this and seeing where it wants to take me.
Namaste
