The universal law of duality
expresses the fact that literally everything in this universe has two distinct
ways of being expressed. Right verses wrong, good verse evil, up in
relationship to down, forward to reverse. Duality shows us that no matter what
mishap in life might occur, there is always another course of action available
to us.
In the Bible we read in
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven..." The writer goes on to describe the duality to
virtually everything.
Duality has been with each one of
us since birth. When we were born into this world we were totally innocent and
without blame. We didn't know anything about duality and yet, we would learn
all about it in the years to come.
It seemed that our parents were
constantly correcting us by saying, "Don't do that," whatever that
might have been. When we got older and beginning to understand a little
logic, maybe our parents changed their way of corrected us. Maybe our parents would
ask us if we understood what could happen by our actions towards the other
person.
Wouldn't it be great to start all
over again knowing what we know today? Starting over with a clear and
uncluttered mind, being totally innocent by having our past mistake erased
forever. How great it would be if our actions would have been the right ones
from the beginning. In fact, is there anyone in this world who can say that
they are totally free of doing any kind of wrongs? Can we say that we
are not involved in the duality of life?
We have all made mistakes in our
lives and we provably always will. That doesn't mean that we cannot change.
Doing right all the time is the ideal, however, by just knowing that duality
exist and we can't get away from it, may make the difference between doing
right and avoiding the wrong; correcting the duality of the situation. We do
wish we could be totally free of all negativity in our past and regaining our
innocents. Wishing that we could place the positive and negative of duality in
their rightful place.
