Thought for the Week: Presence

Alex Thomson reflects on Presence in a world of duality

by Alex Thomson 24th August 2018

We live in a world of duality, of opposites and extremes. I find myself moving between these, trying to be one thing to discover I am the other. I have my weaknesses, my darkness, though I prefer to live in the Light. All the past and present conditioning doesn’t just disappear, it requires a practice to bring it into the Light and be healed. Life seeks equilibrium, a balance, and so do I. If you cut a stick in half there is still a right side and a left side. One side cannot exist on its own and that is the reality of the world. We are all learning, we are all one, and all different – the opposites cannot be eliminated, they need to be embraced.
