What's been showing up a lot lately for me is the concept of polarity. I've known this concept for years, but it must be time for me to really comprehend it, because I continue to bump into it in my reading of various books, my thoughts, other teachers.
Polarity. Hot/cold, rich/poor, black/white, good/evil, bad/good, male/female, right/wrong, sinner/saint, fat/thin, diet/binge.......
At first glance, the remedy appears to be balance. But there's something a little off (har, har) about balance.
You can always lose it, and slide to one end of the spectrum to the other, landing you smack dab in polarities again.
How to stop the precarious pole dance? Get nuetral. Judge nothing. Be impartial to what you want to label as good or bad, pleasant or terrible. Just be and allow whatever you are observing the honor and the space to exist- even if you don't neccesarily like it.
Easier said than done! It's amazing how we are always looking, labeling, judging and filing. The more I tune into this the more I see how all pervasive it is.
