The Law of the Paradox

Day Twenty-Three is an IN day, and it is the mystery day of this season. Yesterday she went out and learned to meet a person level. Today she comes back in and learns that everything level has two sides. Before a woman can understand a plus she has to understand an opposite, because you cannot add to a thing until you know what it is not.

The Adventure CEO becomes conscientious — the knowing-with, the inner witness that will not let her call a thing good when she has seen otherwise. She equates: she sets the two sides beside each other and reads them honestly. What she has to work with is opposites, and that is the perfection of this day. Every stick has two ends. Every coin has a face you can flip.

The Architect becomes careful in the old full sense — watchful, full of care, keeping guard over what she is and what she is becoming, because whatever she does not guard grows up as her opposite. And she educates: ex ducere, to draw out and lead out. Equating shows her there are two; educating leads out which is right and which is wrong, which is truth and which is error. What she is, in that place, is the opposite — one side of the coin, hers, kept whole.

In the Sovereign she becomes complete: nothing missing, both sides accounted for. What she does is exact — to draw out from, to require the precise measure with nothing lost. And what she increases are omegas, the finished ends of everything she began. A woman who can hold opposites can carry a thing all the way to its end, because she is no longer afraid of the other end.
