Practice

Find a comfortable position, sitting or lying down. Close your eyes gently and take a few deep breaths. Inhale slowly, feeling your breath fill your abdomen. Exhale completely, releasing any tension.

Imagine yourself facing a situation where you feel divided – a conflict, a dilemma, a challenge. Notice the two opposing forces at play, the two sides seemingly locked in struggle.

Now, bring your awareness to a space beyond these opposing forces. This is where the Law of Three suggests a third force exists, a place of potential harmony waiting to emerge.

Can you feel the spaciousness required to hold both sides of the conflict without taking sides yourself? Imagine yourself expanding your consciousness to encompass both viewpoints.

Let go of the need for immediate resolution. Instead, cultivate a sense of openness, a willingness to witness the birth of something entirely new.

Focus on the stillness within you. This inner quietude is the fruit of dedicated contemplation, the fertile ground where the third force can take root.

Think of the biblical phrase, “put on the mind of Christ.” This embodies the nondual awareness we’re cultivating – the ability to see beyond rigid either/or thinking.

Embrace the sacred uncertainty. Allow yourself to dwell in the unknown, trusting that genuine possibilities can emerge from this space.

With patience, like a seed germinating in stillness, unforeseen options may begin to reveal themselves. Release your attachment to finding answers, and allow solutions to blossom organically.

Imagine the impact if we all engaged in this contemplative practice. How would our world shift if we moved beyond judgment and sidestepping, and approached conflicts with wisdom born from stillness?

See your actions – environmental, economic, political – flowing from a place of spacious presence, rather than reactionary impulses.

In this quietude, we can awaken to the generative harmony that underlies all surface tension. We become apprentices in the art of perceiving and embodying the transformative power of the third force.

Let the stillness cultivate a nondual awareness within you. See yourself embracing, embodying, and giving birth to a higher unity, a resolution that transcends the limitations of egoic conflict.

Take a few more deep breaths, integrating this experience. When you’re ready, gently open your eyes, carrying this sense of spacious presence and the potential for transformative solutions into your day.
