I’ve been thinking about us, Tom. Look how binary is the form, the nature of things. Ones and zeros. Light and dark. Choice and its absence. Anderson and Smith.
~Agent Smith, Matrix Resurrections
This quote from the newest Matrix film reminded me that in New Thought, we often talk around duality in lieu of Oneness. And while it is very often this is for good reason; it causes us to forget that there is power in understanding and harnessing the energy of duality. Taoists, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong practitioners understand this power; balancing Yin/Yang. They know it is not “either-or” but “both-and” that generates healing and manifestation. The computer programmer understands that the two-symbol system of "0" and "1” referred to as Binary code, is the very thing that allows them to create anything virtually!
In all meditation resources, the breath is vital in the process. Breathing/respiration consists of both inhalation and exhalation. Two parts of one whole breath are the necessary interconnected aspects of our meditative practices.
Love and Law are not two separate powers or forces even though many argue that “Science of Mind” is more Law than Love and “Unity” is more Love than Law. Both/And invites us to find (temet nosche “know thyself”) and embody this singular dual energy.
“For the only God you and I will ever know is the One we embody. Never forget that.” ~Ernest Holmes
Within our Centers, there is a great amount of unaddressed and unhealed trauma. There exists an abundant amount of “toxic positivity,” people-pleasing, codependency, projection, othering, and ultimately a greater reliance on fear than faith. Our Centers, pulpits, and communities are made up of people who are vastly complex individuals at various points along the healing spectrum.
Just like any hospital, right?
Many medical professionals have various health challenges themselves. Physicians needing healing. Our invitation is to take a very serious look at what we desire to experience (a world that works for all) and to then put Principal to work, embodying our Spiritual Imperative, and live it as a daily activity. We needn’t deny the human over the divine but rather embrace Both And!
From something as simple as a “0” and a “1” the complexity and diversity of all that can exist is created. Infinite creative potential found in understanding and mastering 2 symbols, 2 expressions of one Power.
