MotD 24-301 Dualism — after. textured abstract background with varying colors of green, yellow, white, and a dab of pink. on top in black ink are two partially visible mandalas (circles)…one in the lower right and one in the upper left. lotus-like petals are drawn around the outside of each circle. vines of spirals protrude from the tips of each petal over to the other mandala, in between their petals and into their circle…making it challenging at first to determine which way they are going.

Dualism

“the belief that things are divided into two often very different or opposing parts”

Let’s face it…one of the rules of the game with being in human form on this planet is reality of dualism: light/dark, night/day, up/down, right/left, masculine/feminine, logic/creativity, apples/oranges, cats/dogs, rain/sunshine, wet/dry, black/white, good/bad, young/old, birth/death, and so on. I know the definition uses the term “belief”, but as far as I’m concerned, it needs to be changed to “acceptance”…the acceptance that the natural order of things is the fact of opposing parts.

Our challenge becomes creating a healthy balance, some give/take, in order to peacefully co-exist…and from this place, we can all, individually and collectively, grow and expand into higher potentials of ourselves. Who wouldn’t want that?

Until we accept that this is the way things are here, we’ll continue to be in a state of constant resistance. Who wants that? Along with acceptance, we also need a huge dose of being open and willing to find common ground with a dash of empathy and a lot of humor…all for the greater good, where we can co-exist together as one without sacrificing our individuality.

How about you? Is dualism a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
