When we are in a dark room, we quickly realize it is easier to see with the lights on. If we've ever been imprisoned, oppressed, in bondage to anyone or anything, we develop a yearning desire for freedom. We learn to appreciate good health when we are sick. We respect wealth when we are in poverty. It seems quite natural to define one condition by what appears to be its opposite. Freedom and oppression, illness and good health, poverty and wealth, happiness and sorrow, peace and confusion, faith and fear, strength and weakness, male and female -- these are not opposing powers. They are the results of how the one power of life is used. The ancestors knew that everything comes from one source. They knew this source had the only power and everything else was a minor challenge. When we stay centered on the source, the power, we see that there are no opposites. Only light coming out of darkness to help us see where we want to go.
There is only one Power, one Source operating in my life.
