Duality

The Trap of Duality

Every "right" thought is born in the shadow of a "wrong" one. We crave the positive because we fear the negative. We chase good thoughts because bad ones haunt us.

But here lies the paradox: By giving energy only to the positive, we are unknowingly feeding the negative. Greed for one is just the flip side of fear of the other.

We don’t want to look at the negative side—it frightens us, overwhelms us, triggers avoidance. So we cling to the positive. But that very clinging creates imbalance. It divides us. It splits our being into good and bad, acceptable and unacceptable, light and shadow.

What if we did something radically simple? What if we watched both thoughts—positive and negative—without choosing, without resisting, without clinging?

Not feeding one, not fearing the other. Just watching. Then something beautiful begins to happen: The inner tug-of-war starts dissolving. The pendulum slows. And in that stillness, clarity emerges.

Beyond Thought, Into Presence

The mind loves labeling things: this is good, this is bad; this is spiritual, this is not. But if we act in this moment with totality—not for gain, not out of fear—we go beyond duality. We move from thought to presence. From judgment to action. From outcome to experience.

In that space, what we do becomes our offering, not our strategy. And whatever the result is—it carries the fragrance of our wholeness.

The goal, then, is not to become more "positive" and avoid the negative. The goal is to step out of the loop entirely.

To act, to live, to love—from presence, not polarity.
