metaphor is the energy that breathes life into perceptual reality

Of all those qualities that exert their influence and surround the source of our inner wholeness, some are at the same time also qualities that belongs to the companion of our inner person. The crazy impulsive and irrational other half and adversary, and the one that unites us with nature and travels through all psychic layers between the personal whole and its context in the greater unity it is part of between the earth and the sky. He is the one who leads us toward the greater self-organizing and ordering whole as our own personal part of the source of which all things are a part, and which unites all opposites. It doesn’t matter how much we toss and turn between his various opposing qualities, it is still the spark of the energy coming from the greater whole that formulates an image of itself in our consciousness as our personal whole that is our guide. It is the one that causes our inner potentiality to grow as we are constantly driven by its energy to connect with its timeless interpersonal origin, which is the singularity from which everything comes. A singularity within us that we simultaneously find ourselves being part of as the center of a psychic totality in its final state of being understood as matter in a metaphorical sense, with cosmos as its background. But both our inner person and his unruly sibling taken together, is about balance, not about a devil of some kind, whatever that is, be it in me or in others. If we exaggerate our rational side, we become corrective and bloody boring, and if we exaggerate our impulsiveness, we become reckless and incoherent. Still I think our relation to them is the moral battle we must follow to its conclusion within us. On our own, in the space of our oneness, and its center of a greater evolving singularity.
