"When you make the two one, when you make the inner as outer
and the outer as inner ... then shall you enter the kingdom."
Jesus
There are two sides to every coin meaning opposites can co-exist. Individuals have both light and dark sides. A split personality can be compared to two parts of the self: the nature we project out into the world and the emotional temperament we repress within ourselves.
When we tone down the search outside of ourselves, we can begin to hear our inner voice calling us into awareness of our full intention. The focus falls upon developing what we have to offer to ourselves, community, and the world. Once we embrace our self-worth, we can use our outer selves to carry out our intentions.
The importance, of course, is alignment. We do not strive to eliminate one side of the coin, but rather to balance the light and the dark, to embrace the presence of two sides. When we are able to blend the inner with the outer, we discover a peace ... no longer fighting oppositions, tolerating constant imbalance, and living in a hell. At long last, we sense the kingdom.
