Construction presupposes destruction. Destruction implies construction. Construction/destruction are not two things but one. Yin and Yang are not two things, but one. Light and dark. Right and wrong, Good and bad. All dualities are unities, combos, partnerships. It’s all one big mutuality seeking its partner in the dance of life and being.
What help do we need to be who we are? I need silence for reflection and examination. I look for ways opposition is also assistance, remembering Mike Stanley saying, “Jim, the only way I can be quiet is by playing the drums.” Playing the drums is a way of engaging the art of a self-induced trance state, which is the essential element in all silent reflections. How can I take noise and find silence? By allowing it to disappear into the background and become the essential element in here, now. It is only a matter of focus and concentration and I can enter into contemplation wherever I am.
I see this is an aspect of what Jesus may have had in mind when he said ”Pray always.” And can “drop into silence anywhere, just by shifting from opposition to cooperation, “Letting be what is,” “Going with the flow,” “Being here, now,” “Peacefully abiding, here, now,” and “Seeing where it goes.”
