How to respond to dualism in spiritual terms?
We all realize we live in a world where dualism plays a major part in our lives, don't we? As we are aware of the way dark and light are holding each other in balance, sometimes out of balance, yet we all say without dark there is no light, without cold, there is no hot, or is it just about sensations we feel with our senses? As there is a difference between being rich or poor, or is it about the perspective we look at those terms?
When do we decide whether we experience our lives as being poor or rich? Is it when we are wealthy and have a lot of money to spend to buy anything we want? Or is it when we are in good health and enjoy life to the max, not necessarily with a lot of money to spend? Being in the company of people we love and sharing joy and laughter whenever we meet.
What about the judgments that are being created over all the eons of time as well as consciousness and ignorance, power and humiliation, or abuse and physical ill-treatment between men and women, manhood has created a place where dualism has been creating a major gap caused by the way we need to treat each other or even our self for that matter.
History shows how people have been fighting against each other for a piece of land to own, for mastery to enslave others, for power to abuse against any rights we were given at birth in the first place on this planet. So, here we are in the year 2022. Where we can see all the excesses that are confronting us every day, with all the aggression against each other.
All the power people are fighting for to hold on to just feed the greed. How people all over the world are dealing with dictatorship, slavery, bad living conditions, no schooling, poverty, and lack of health and any kind of care.
Can we change the world on our own? Do we have to change the world on our own? We hear and see more and more communities rise against oppression. We read more and more through the internet and social media about people who are willing to change and create changes for others as well for the benefit of the greater good.
Furthermore, we see all those messages about the way energy is part of our own physical system and how we can learn what impacts all the emotions, imbalances and psychology is also part of the balance of our own health and physical well-being.
Yet only those who are able to read, have the ability to learn, access books, libraries, schools, and universities, and have an internet connection. Or is this also part of the dualism? To hold the imbalance between right and wrong in place.
Not able to close the gap between right and wrong, so to speak? We know of many cultures, not necessarily equipped with all the modern technologies, who are perfectly capable to thrive in good health, and wealth and are in a maybe even deeper connection with the planet we inhabit as humanity.
There is also this tendency now to still be judgmental depending on the perspective of course and thus creating a new form of duality in itself. People who believe they are more awakened and spiritual than others, as they believe they are.
This weird tendency within us as human beings mirrors each other. There still must be a right or wrong, better, or less, that is being played in the field of spirituality as well as in modern society.
And no doubt in any society we come across. There is no continent in the world that is not being affected or infected with this judgmental perception and perspective if we look at someone else, and they need to put a label on them, for better or for worse...
How can we step out of this spiral of negativity as long as we perceive each other less or better, even in the world of conscious awareness and spirituality? When we talk about those who are awakened and those who are not, or not yet.
How can we release ourselves from the old ways of perception that say one way is better than another way? One path leads to, and is the only path that leads to? To what, we might ask ourselves, don't we? What do we really want? And what do we really need?
I got asked today how I could "let" my husband follow chemotherapy when I am so spiritual, and you know what? It felt like we didn't get anywhere along the line if people still judged each other. Or look at each other in a way that isn't balanced. What scared me most, was the sincerity in the eyes of the one questioning this decision within the health care and healing department.
It showed me today it isn't about saving souls from ignorance. It isn't about the right or the wrong way. Furthermore, it all is about the balance we can find within ourselves in dealing with the normal issues on a daily basis with a heartfelt and loving intention towards ourselves as well as others without judging, not even our own steps we take along the way.
I truly feel that we can end the internal wars we fight within ourselves and the power games. As well as the need to feel better than someone else. When we can look at ourselves with love and compassion. Sure, we make decisions, but not always the best. Yet we learn from them, and now we will not make that choice the next time. Not because someone told us so.
Just because we learned through our own experience and when advice is offered in a free and compassionate way, there will be no boundaries or resistance to acceptance. For that is what we as humans tend to do. We will not bow easily to authority unless it comes from Love.
So, how do we respond to dualism in the terms of spirituality? We do the same way we respond to it all the time, spiritual or not. The difference we can make is making the intention to let every choice and step we take in our encounters, and relationships with others.
And evenly important to ourselves from a place of love, compassion, and understanding. And before I close my argument, it all starts within. The gap between inner and outer will be closed when we make the changes within our hearts and set our minds to do so.
And so, it will be
