stretched upon the cross of all duality

In embodying as matter, we have freely taken on the reconciliation of opposites. We are stretched upon the cross of all duality. Our task is to reconcile, redeem, restore. We do this through our heart center, the exact location pointed to by the intersection of the cross's vertical and horizontal poles.

In the vertical realm, we unify the divine and the earthly. We are a conduit of energies connecting the above and the below, the supraconscious and the subconscious. Horizontally, we face this world and all its schisms, disputes and wranglings and separations. We drop all righteousness of stance, no longer looking to "give it to them" because they are us.

Stretched upon this cross of duality, we embody all opposites. We are "all things to all men." The war is over. We have ended it within ourselves.

  1. "...and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor..." (Isaiah 9:6).

    Counselor -> conciliate -> reconcile -> (etymology) "to bring together again"

    I see this hinting at the meaning of being "saved," i.e., a reconciliation for a return to our Source. Roll away the stone; behind this symbol of wholeness is kenosis.
