Think of the earth that provides everything needed for life but that also resist and provide the catalyst of destruction when it is required. In my view it does not destroy for itself in a negative sense, but can provide negative catalysts.
Heh, you beat me to it. That "must needs take in each other" line can really only be interpreted as embracing a blending of the two polarities. Both the positive and the negative polarities are, in their own ways, trying to force their particular polarization onto the universe. But a one-sided polarization is impossible, because a polarity requires its opposite to exist. So Unity would require the complete abandonment of this effort, and the recognition of all acts as being divine, full stop.
Creation cannot happen without destruction also occurring. Like how Shiva in the Hindu canon is often called "The Transformer" because he embraces both paths, with transformation as the end result.
After all, the Earth has allowed/tolerated multiple planet-wide extinction events. Gaia undoubtedly loved and nurtured the Precambrian critters, yet they were ultimately sacrificed for the sake of creating new lifeforms with more developmental potential. Plus, of course, the spirits embodied in those critters remained eternal, and went on to experience new lives in new forms. Only those specific forms we call Precambrian were lost, because they were transformed.
I also really like this summary of Unity, which Ra provided in the very first session:
Quote:In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.
