A simple shift that turns Conflict into Understanding
I've been playing with polarities lately. Last week, I explored the dance between Being and Doing. This week, I'm leaning into contrast, extremes, the push and pull of perspectives, and what it takes to find center when the world feels split in two.
Because let’s be real - things are feeling a little crazy and divided. Like we’ve stumbled into a timeline that wasn’t on the map. And we’re left wondering - how do we find the way out?
When we encounter a perspective different from our own, the mind starts constructing a case. A point of view becomes a belief, which then becomes a judgment. We make ourselves right. We make the other wrong. And the more fixed those judgments become, the more we reinforce the illusion of separation - until the “other” feels like an enemy, an outsider, a force to push against. And before we know it, we’re lost in the churn of anger, grief, loneliness, the ache of disconnection.
So how do we disrupt the cycle before we slide into polarity’s extremes?
We shift. We move from judgment to discernment, belief to awareness, fixed positions to expanded consciousness.
When you sit in the middle of contrast, swinging between opposing forces, trying to grasp both sides, it’s disorienting and totally unsettling. Sometimes it leads to understanding, but often, it just wears you down. There is another way: rise. Change your vantage point. Move beyond the story and see it all with fresh eyes.
The unconscious mind resists this. It clings to stories that affirm identity, that keep us in our roles, keep us “right.” It loves the familiar, even when the familiar is suffering. But you have the power to move beyond it.
When you choose to elevate your perspective - to become the witness instead of the reactor - the noise falls away. And something else emerges: Compassion. Patience. Detachment. Honesty. Courage. Integrity. Understanding.
Try it now - Think of a conflict in your life, whether with another person, an institution, or within yourself. Feel into it. Let yourself oscillate between opposing views. Notice what rises in your body.
Then take a breath. A deep one.
Imagine yourself rising above the story. Lifting higher, until you can see all the moving pieces - the histories, the motivations, the fears, the desires. See the whole pattern, not just your place in it. Witness without attachment. Breathe into the space you’ve just created.
And now, ask yourself—or your higher self:
-
Without the fixed positions of this story, what is the highest truth here?
-
If I were no longer confused by this, what could I understand?
-
What is the most aligned action I could take right now?
-
What practices or awareness will help me hold this elevated perspective more often?
Conflict isn’t resolved from inside it. You have to rise above. Expand your awareness. Shift your energy. Align with the highest frequency available to you.
What have you been fighting that you can choose to resolve within yourself today?
Sending blessings for alignment, clarity, compassion, and love!
