Summary

The text reflects on the philosophical journey of understanding the coexistence of opposites, a realization that has been reached by many divine humans like Hercules.

Abstract

The narrative describes an individual's struggle with the concept of opposites, such as despair and hope, inaction and action, and darkness and light. This person initially perceives these opposing forces as sequential, with one ending before the other begins. However, over time, through subconscious awareness and moments of expanded consciousness, the individual begins to receive messages that hint at a deeper truth. The text suggests that the seed of this awareness is present from the moment of embodiment and grows within. Ultimately, the protagonist is expected to recognize the perpetual coexistence of opposites, a realization that aligns with the enlightenment achieved by mythical figures like Hercules, contributing to a greater purpose.

Opinions

  • The author posits that the conventional view of opposites as sequential is an illusion that obscures the true nature of their relationship.
  • Awareness of the true nature of opposites is inherent and grows progressively from the beginning of one's life.
  • Moments of heightened consciousness provide glimpses into the understanding of the coexistence of opposites.
  • The realization of the constant coexistence of opposites is presented as a significant step in personal or spiritual development, akin to the achievements of legendary heroes.
  • The text implies that this realization is not just a personal revelation but also a contribution to a collective or universal purpose.

Battle With The Opposites

In the footsteps of Hercules

He sees the despair as something that happens when his hope is over.

He treats his inaction as something appearing when his action is absent.

He thinks that the bad’s ending is the prerequisite of the good’s start.

His perception catches the light as what comes when the dark is gone.

Days, months, and years pass with this illusion, and “the opposites’ paradox” remains unsolved.

But, underneath, awareness processes are taking place, sending him messages in many ways.

From time to time, his consciousness is momently widening, and he captures the signals.

The seed is already planted from the beginning of the embodiment and its growth is in progress.

So, on the round path of successive labours, he will realize the permanent coexistence of the opposites, such as many divine humans like Hercules have already done, contributing to the Purpose.
