This is a Podcast from where I am getting good value insigths. And as Leo said somewhere, of course all perspectives are partial and there is always some bias involved. So perfect insigths may exist only in God Realization full balls to the wall. This topic of polarization is so close to home that I am feeling it ready in family and close friends. People are slowly losing their minds, even the ones that not so long ago looks so grounded. 

This times are not for the faint of heart.

Here is a description of the podcast so you may feel if is worth listen a bit.

People are becoming more extreme in their positions while projecting onto the other side, blaming them for everything that’s wrong with the world. But there is also, in the midst of this, a group of people who are not identifying with either side. These people, in Carl Jung’s words, are holding the tension of opposites.

In this podcast, Laura and Bernhard discuss how we can heal this polarized world by being the ones who can hold the tension of opposites. They talk about what it means to hold the tension of opposites, how it relates to shadow work and individuation, the dangers of identifying with one polarized side of the opposites, how it relates to the esoteric concept of igniting the alchemical fire within and more.

Show Notes Part 1:

• The polarization in the world seems to be increasing exponentially
• Extreme forms of tribal and group identifications on all sides
• Holding the tension of opposites is necessary on the path of individuation
• How holding the tension of opposites relates to Shadow Work
• Paradox has a profound spiritual meaning to it
• Most people in this world can’t hold paradoxes – instead, they revert to a one-sided position in order to feel more secure
• The alchemical Axiom of Maria and how a new state of consciousness emerges by holding the tension of opposites
• The point of the opposites is they temper and restore each other, rather than one overcoming the other
• The madness of trying to “get rid of the other side”
• It’s harder to hold the tension when we are emotionally invested in an issue
• Laura’s story of swinging between left and right (politically) to holding the tension of opposites
• How to hold the tension of opposites and how it relates to “conscious suffering”
• With a lack of sincere introspection, you don’t know who you really are
• The true Self lies beyond like and dislike, attraction and repulsion, preference and rejection
• The misconceptions about shadow work
• The difference between conscious suffering (necessary for spiritual work) and unconscious/mechanical suffering (keeping you “in the matrix”)
• The esoteric concept of igniting the alchemical fire within to “fuse the magnetic center within” [the real “I”] via holding the tension of opposites within
• Most people lack the capacity and attention span for true introspection
• The esoteric idea of different false “I’s” and IFS
• The Law of Chance/Accident and how to “exit the matrix”
• Holding the tension of opposites is a painful process hence, most people project externally
• According to Carl Jung, we need at least a “leading minority engaged in the inner work” to “avoid a global catastrophe

Ah, like the synergistic evolution of a homeostatic pendulum! To dissolve or evolve through polarity and unity.
