Literally EVERY THING we know, or experience and can imagine only exists due to contrast. This life is one of relativity and contrast. That means all things are intrinsically connected and have polar opposites. Up does not exist without down. Dark gives meaning to light, and inside is not even a concept unless the perspective of outside is a possibility. Just like the physical law of gravity, there is also a law of opposites. There is no experience without this law, therefore there can be no existence.

 The fact that a 1200 Harley Sportster can do a quarter mile in 12 seconds, or hit a top speed of 160 PH on the open road is meaningless if everything we know moves at this same rate.  The meaning is relative to other things that move at different rates. We can say this is a fast bike comparative to millions of bikes that move at slower rates. Therefore, speed is relative to the lack of speed. When Patrick Mahomes tossed the pigskin 80 yards during his Pro Day with Texas Tech in 2017, would be just another day if everyone could throw everything 80 yards. The gravity and drag that prevents this, along with the fact that practically no one else can do such a thing, is what makes it a measurement. I assume we can agree that nothing is anything without the opposite of it.

 As far as goals, desires, dreams, wishes, plans and intentions are concerned, before they can exist, the antithesis of them needs to be a prevalent consideration in our mind.  In almost all cases it is the opposing condition being part of our awareness that gives birth to our desire. We NEED these contrasts to be real or whatever we are attempting would not be a consideration. Without the opposing conditions we would have nothing to do, no hopes, no dreams, no experiences, so we need to be grateful for all that which we do NOT want, so we can have desires. This is actually how our universe has expanded.  This is how God experiences God, through us. Realty unfolding in form is due to contrast.

 When most of us have a desire and set a goal, the first thing in our point of focus is the opposite of what we want. This is necessary for us to be able to define our desire.

 I have written here many times about our focus and feeling creating the vibration that draws the similar vibration in the point of our desire to us, currently referred to as The Law of Attraction. Knowing this, we need to focus on our desired condition, but too often all we see is the contrasting situation and we continue to focus on this causing us to be aware of more of this contrast inadvertently drawing repetitive representations of it into our experience. At this point most of us throw in the towel and abandon our dream believing there are too many obstacles and that our attempt is futile.

 However, true intentional creation uses the Law of Contrast, The Law of Attraction, and the Law of Wisdom and Discipline. Contrast and attraction function unconsciously. To be intentional requires wisdom and discipline.  While acknowledging the contrast that was the catalyst for our desire, we need to be wise enough to know that we have to focus our thoughts and feelings on the end result of our desire, NOT the contrast that created it, in order to give it life. Anything else would be like noticing a pothole in the road that could cause harm and digging more holes around it. We need to focus on the opposing condition of the opposing condition that launched our rocket of desire, not the cause, but the desired effect.

 My message for today is that all things good and bad have a place. Each gives rise to other. This is the foundation of creation, without which the life we know would cease to exist. The Creator set this dance in motion as a means for self expression to which we are the leading edge of the process of Divine Experience. Do not judge, hate or dismiss. We should all be grateful for all conditions and use our wisdom to discern where to point our focus, as that is the steering wheel of what we will manifest.
