Through reflection, we discover that our life experiences are on a spectrum. From the raw and unprocessed nature of the instinctive and impulsive, to the insightful imaginative psychic life we express when we perceive all life as nature in a psychic sense, and that this nature as psyche creates vessels in everything, everywhere all the time by going within. At one end of our experiences we are completely identical to them, at the other they take on a separate existence. We suddenly discover at some point in our lives that they have an inner meaning to us and that we have to find a way to coexist with both extremes because we are torn between them. We can’t just replace one end of them with the other. It doesn’t work anymore. So we begin to reflect and try to connect them with each other. We discover that in our minds there is an invisible balance, a silent equilibrium that gives us access to ourselves and to the center that exists in this all-encompassing wholeness that unites all the opposites we struggle with in all parts of this spectrum. It also unites us with everyone else who is somewhere on this path between our direct experience and the unknown other that emerges by itself as we wrestle with our inner contradictions and reflect on what they mean to us. We can’t just live anymore, and follow along, it has to be real and feel authentic.
