Reconciling Opposites

An essential part of the spiritual journey is dealing with the fact that life is a friction of opposites, both inside and outside ourselves. Whether the polarities are good and evil, ease and resistance, or oneness and individuality, how do we relate to the constant influx of these experiences? Adyashanti invites us to discover what it means to reconcile opposites by accessing a wider container that can see, articulate, and hold opposing experiences.
