Contemplation Day35

40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God

From Release to Embrace

Rule 35

In this World, it is not similarities or regularities that take us a step forward, but blunt opposites. And all the opposites in the universe are present within each and every one of us. Therefore the believer needs to meet the unbeliever residing within. And the nonbeliever should get to know the silent faithful in him. Until the day one reaches the stage of Insane-I Kamil, the perfect human being, faith is a gradual process and one that necessitates its seeming opposite: disbelief.

Today we affirm: I replace bitterness with betterment

And all the opposites in the universe are present within each and every one of us. Therefore the believer needs to meet the unbeliever residing within. And the nonbeliever should get to know the silent faithful in him. Rule 35

It is the same with everything. There is two side to each coin. Where there is bitterness, there is betterment as well. The believer must meet both. We live in a world of duality and until we reach stage of Insane-I Kamil, the perfect human being, we are evolving through realizing and embracing it all.

When we say in Unity, that we release something, it does not mean that we reject it. Though we use the word ‘denial’, we do not mean that we deny the existence of something. We simply state there there is another side to the coin that we want to bring forward and we release ‘experiencing’ what does not serve us. 

Everything, night and day, good or bad, health and illness exist in our world of duality. We simply strive to move higher into greater Oneness with the Divine, leaving duality behind.

Please note that though I may use ‘him’ or ‘his’ pronouns to talk about God/the Divine, it is only because the English language does not have a gender neutral pronoun. ‘They’ sounds odd to me to use and ‘it’ sounds lifeless.
