How The Duality Of Life Works

Life is the result of the struggle between dynamic opposites.

Form and chaos. Substance and oblivion. Light and dark.

All the infinite variations of yin and yang.

When the pendulum swings in favor of one, it eventually swings in favor of its opposite.

Thus, the balance of the universe is maintained.

– Jeru

How does the duality of life affect you?

Life is a kaleidoscope of variety.

Male and Female.
Beast and Spirit.
Night and Day.
Hot and Cold.

Neither of these energies is “better” than its opposite.

Everything Has Its Equal Purpose

There are gradations in between extremes, but this does not negate the existence of separate polarities.

Some might ask, “where is the cut-off point?”

The answer to this question is extremely complex and difficult to answer.

Think about the spectrum of color.

Red is definitely red.

At what point does it become:

Pink?
Orange?
Purple?

The spectrum itself is infinite.

It’s not so simple to categorize the in-betweens.

You are simultaneously your best friend and your worst enemy.

It’s your choice which side you channel.

Negative thought patterns / self-esteem will sabotage all your efforts at becoming an improved person.

It’s Crucial To Control Your Emotions

Unstable emotions tend to bring out the more undesirable aspects of your personality.

You’re capable of greatness as well as committing unspeakable horrors.

Sometimes we allow ourselves to be overcome with self-loathing.

However, you must understand there’s nothing wrong with you.

The only thing that is wrong is ineffective thought patterns and the actions that follow.

Learn to love the part of yourself that you have disdain for.

Forgive your imperfections.

Strive to understand the dual nature of your inner universe and the flow of energy that governs it.

There’s No Such Thing As A “Double Standard” For Things That Aren’t The Same

It’s insane to push the defining traits of one polarity onto the other.

The drive of each sphere is not innate to the nature of the complementary side.

Example: men and women.

It’s still possible for women to achieve great success in masculine arenas, but in order to do so they must become pseudo-men by losing a great portion (if not all) of their femininity.

At the same time, men are encouraged to openly share weak emotions just like women.

Is it any surprise that women lose all attraction towards such a male?

Emasculated males allow their inner droplet of femininity to become dominant over their true polarity.
