You remove the conflict of the opposite at one stroke if you live with the fact and, therefore, liberate the energy to face the fact. For most of us, contradiction is an extraordinary field in which the mind is caught. I want to do this, and I do something entirely different; but if I face the fact of wanting to do this, there is no contradiction; and, therefore, at one stroke, I abolish altogether all sense of the opposite, and my mind then is completely concerned with what is, and with the understanding of what is.
