The Choice

[abstrktion]

Here is an example. Pick any one place and time on the earth is it wet or dry? It is going to be either one or the other, right? But now zoom out to include the entire planet in one's consciousness. Now, is it wet or dry? It is both. Some parts are wet, some parts are dry. Simultaneously.

Now imagine that we picked one place, but looked at it from a vast perspective of time, say over ten thousand years. Is it wet or is it dry? The question doesn't even make any sense! It is both wet and dry.

Growth all comes down to the contextual field. Am I thinking only of myself, and my immediate needs and desires? Am I considering my family? My colleagues? My nation? My planet? What is the contextual field in which we are making these decisions? And which contextual field is most relevant to which types of decisions?

Duality is a useful tool for growth. But it is a tool, not the growth itself. Eventually, one outgrows the need for tools.

I see polarity in the archetypes a bit like that--are certain ones active or dynamic? Well, it depends on the perspective, or relationship between the archetype and that with which it is interacting.

@Shin'Ar -- yes, I know you only agree with #1 in my list; I included #1 to represent what you had shared. I included #2 and #3 because others have those views.
