Love
The search for our complementary opposite
May 23rd 2018
We have seen princes relinquish their kingdom for the love of a woman. What was it about this woman that made a whole nation of people pale in comparison? It fact, a man does not really seek out a woman, but a principle that is complementary to him and without which he cannot live. And a woman will do the same: she will stand up to her entire family, the whole world, to follow the man she loves. Is she wrong to do so? Not at all. The Lord and Mother Nature have inscribed this in the heart of all human beings – ‘You will leave your father and mother and you will follow your wife (or husband).’
The masculine principle seeks out the feminine principle, and the feminine principle seeks out the masculine principle, because on their own, they feel incomplete and crippled. Humans are not always aware of this, because this search takes on such diverse forms. Mystics say that they are searching for God. In reality, what they call God is this complementary part of themselves with which they seek to unite, to merge, in order to become one complete and perfect whole.
