I have thought of a paradox being a paradox. To hold a paradox it implies that you have a perception of wholeness, then it isn't paradox, it just is! That 's paradoxical. It kind of feels like looking at a work of Escher's. Good analogy; the moon and the human spirit, to know that when you are perceiving the dark aspect, the light aspect is just behind it. Thank you for your deep thoughts! May your day be filled with illumination! Cheers, Miruh Alexys, profound words my friend!

This reminds me of the moon, which in itself is a paradox. Sometimes it is illuminating and other times it is eclipsed, but it still emanates all that it is, even though it is seemingly covered. I view people in the same light. We are light, we are dark, always the twain shall meets. It is in our darkness that we are shown light and we realize that darkness is nothing but an illusion. :D Hi Miruh,

Your wise, loving words are a soothing balm to uplift the soul! I am with you there, it is the inability to deal with paradox and the fear of the unknown, that keeps us bound in finding a solution that we can hold on to, based on our concepts, and thereby, a false sense of freedom. May your day be filled with warm love and deep stillness! :-)) Maithri, thank you for your gracious presence here! Your wise, loving words are a soothing balm to uplift the soul!

I like what you said, "If we let go of the label of 'paradox'..." This is the heart of the healing journey; opening into what is; acceptance of duality without the compulsive need to make sense of it all, through the lens of our limited mind-sets. Loving what is, anyway! May your day be filled with Loving Kindness! :-)) Hi Liara,

I think it is the inability to deal with paradox that manifests as fear and dogmatic, rigid thinking.

Life is fluid, dynamic and yet eternally constant all at the same time…

To hold two seemingly diametrically opposed thoughts in our mind and find the harmony between them – is to learn the art of wholesome living.

My deep appreciation for your words and spirit,

With reverent love, Maithri

I have read books by Pema Chodron and respect how she juxtaposes key issues. Human beings have no need to fear what they do not choose to understand. We always have the choice to resist or let go to 'go with the flow.' That does not necessitate we ignore sources of conflict or quyandry within ourselves. Rather, it is an invitation to explore and release it so negative energy dissipates. If we let go of the label of 'paradox,' we might evolve to view this as the natural flow of energy toward love.
