Let Us Transcend Duality

Both/And.
That’s the song of my soul.
A song that soars beyond the limitations…
and the outright lies…
of the “either/or” paradigm.

Both/And.
It’s the truth of things.
It’s the natural order of things.

For reality is layered, nuanced, complex, and paradoxical.
And by extension…
so is the song of my soul.

The song of my soul is written in the key of mixing.
Of blending, blurring, and breaking through boundaries.

The song of my soul has a consistent theme…
Of reconciling differences.
Of weaving disparate elements.
Of braiding.
Of bridging.

My soul sings on repeat a song…
Of *Integration*.
Personal… Individual…
Cultural… Collective.

The background music of my life is…
a song sung in harmonic, resonant notes of *Interconnectivity*.
A glorious, pleasing melody of *Oneness*.

Let us write, speak, and sing…
powerful, soul-stirring lyrics…
that usher in the transcendence of duality.

Our words have incredible power.
With our words we create.
And so… let us do just that.
Let us create with our words.

The lyrics emblazoned across my soul…
herald the overcoming of division.

The words my inner compass is set to…
MOVE us.
Touch us.
Inspire us…
To *move* us beyond seeing in black or white.

Ensconced as we are within a black/white paradigm, the natural question to arise is:
HOW.
HOW do we transform our thinking to account for the both/and?
HOW do we attune to the ever-present paradoxes?
HOW do we account for the very real complexities at the root of things?

Well let’s start by acknowledging the problem lives within us.
And will be resolved within us.

Through mastering our thinking and our inner game, we will BE THE CHANGE and thereby change the game.

It does require being taught how… taught how to think differently… fruitfully… truthfully.
And once we know how, it takes practice.

But with those things in place, anyone can learn to think in both/and, at least proficiently.

Overcoming division comes naturally for some, but not all.
And yet, we can all learn.

And as we learn…
We can be more “difference-positive”…
More loving with one another.
More compassionate.
More understanding.
More patient.
With our varying skill levels.
With our varying talent levels.
At singing the One Song.

Love + Oneness,

Naomi
