15. Duality

PARADIGM SHIFT; CHOICES; EARTH LESSONS; EQUILIBRIUM; BALANCE; TEMPERANCE

I can see the beauty of the in-between. I am open to receive a whole new understanding.

Duality teaches us that opposites are often dancing in some form of sacred union. Opposing forces serve as pieces of the same complex puzzle, and their interplay is a paradox of life—without the dark void of outer space, we would never see the stars. Without true love, there may be no inevitable loss. Without death, there is no rebirth. These fundamental truths teach us the most valuable lessons of all. Within and without, above and below—every moving part is a function of the greater expression and whole.

We must also recognize that life exists on a spectrum of infinite possibilities and beautiful nuances. When we live in a perpetual state of division, where we are constantly aligned with separation or division, we may find ourselves looking through a binary lens that leaves out an incredible vista of life. When we soften our gaze and celebrate the diversity of this world, we find endless magic and soulful depths, beyond our imagination and dreams. Earth is a planet of total free will, and within each of us, we hold the keys to consistently unlocking love or fear.

This key encourages you to find a more neutral or open approach to a particular situation, or to the world around you. Living in opposition is no easy feat, and it will often find a way of bleeding into other areas of our life. If we can find a healthy balance, not attaching to particular extremes, we may uncover a more profound understanding of how to live more fully and authentically. By embracing the interconnectivity of all things, we can begin to see the beautiful tapestry of life.

Allow yourself to see the world with flexibility. Appreciate the full spectrum of creation, from light to the dark and all the in-between. Find the power in your shadow moments, too, and uncover the wisdom in the hard lessons you have learned. They are here to embolden your strength. Every experience is an opportunity for growth and change. In every moment of darkness, there is the promise of light. Through every life challenge, we can cultivate greater compassion and empathy for others who also move through similar waves.

Where can I seek out more equilibrium and balance? How can I learn to soften or strengthen more?
