Duality


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.
