Opposite Sides of the Same Coin

Yesterday's love fortune. "I love the fire in your eyes". Half hour later someone was a little less then considerate and boy was there fire in my eyes. Tee hee, not what I think was meant. Opposite side of same coin. Guess I have tonight's blog topic. But even better on the look out for a hot stud to pass it on to. This could be a great pick up trick. This really is the gift that keeps on giggling. Actually laughing out loud.  

I actually posted this in FB already so I feel like I'm cheating but I'll enhance.  A lot of us like to focus on one end of the pendulum and that can leave us out of whack.  And life isn't black and white and many of us fall within a spectrum between Saint and Devil and few hit the extremes.  However, it is important to recognize that we all have the ability to experience both.  And in order to really be free of the power that any of it has over any of us we need to own that.  Having it in you, doesn't mean you can't be responsible for how your express it.

As a child of a rager, I denied or shoved down the angry parts within me.  And ironically (well maybe not but I'll keep going) as part of my Polarity studies where we are talking about healing and we were doing a major completion practice, somebody says something to me which pushed one of my buttons. I reacted a little there but did I steam afterwords.  I was so pissed I wanted emasculate the person.  And I was sobbing because I was so pissed.  That is my internal fire suppression system under extreme angry.  (That being said I cry from joy and sadness too...but if you realize I'm crying from being pissed off, run for the hills.)  I actually acted more responsibly to the person than I felt inside and the part inside me scared the shit out of me at first and then I found it incredibly empowering.  I learned what a force it can be and I can control it or it can control me.

It's also been my experience if you can withstand the uncomfortability that happens when you hold two opposite extremes taught like a rubber band  magic can happen.  If you can get past the belief that you have two disparate thoughts and allow yourself to be creative, a whole new possibility can come about.  As Einstein says, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that caused it."  Sounds obvious, yet....
