This past Wednesday was the 24th anniversary of the day I was born. As I was born on the 2nd of May I wanted to take the time and write about the spiritual meaning of 2.
Balance. Truth. Duality.
In life we have many dualities. Most things that we interact with are split into two categories, or two extremes. Good vs. Evil. Conservative vs. Liberal. Winner vs. Loser. Pass vs. Fail. The list goes on and on. In Christianity, our classic thoughts of duality is the notion of the separation of God and man; and in Taoism it’s the ying and the yang. In modern day culture we look to the ying and yang (yin=darkness, receiving, softness; yan= light giving, forcefulness) The truth is that duality/balance is not about giving both sides equal pay. It’s about understanding the nature of the duality, understand where each is coming from. Merging the viewpoints of the other side is duality, attaining unity in your thoughts.
When we think of duality we often think “I vs. them”, or “self vs. other”. Duality is a testimony, it’s exchanges, its partnerships. Two is to unite with like minds, like ideals.
