OPPOSITES : The Root Cause of All Problems
There is only one cause of all problems and that one cause is embodied in one particular natural law.
That law is the law of OPPOSITES.
Webster defines “opposites” as:
“Elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable; extreme divergence; in clear and unequivocal diametric opposition”.
Look around you, take an objective view at the world; at your every activity, everything you do and everything that comprises the world in which you live and do business. Notice how opposites abound everywhere.
- Up and down
- Left and right
- Profit and loss
- Freedom and bondage
- Positive and negative
- Assets and liabilities
- Love and hate
- True and false
- And on and on and on.
We could go on forever. It would be difficult to imagine anything that does not have an implied opposite.
We live in a world of duality where every situation and circumstance is challenged by some implied opposite; a world where “twoness” prevails, where one side is always pulling against another or pushing up against a wall that will not yield. We live in a world of constant struggle between opposing “forces”, ideologies, values and false teaching where even the “experts” don’t agree. People are being torn apart trying to find stability by justifying two opposites that, by their very nature and definition, cannot possibly be justified one to the other. The net result is anxieties, pressures, worries and fears.
Adherence to the law of opposites is the cause of all problems.
If we could somehow prevent this law from operating in our individual experiences, we would no longer suffer from its devastating effects and we would be living in a world where problems would have no influence over us. It would be a world of stability where we would enjoy unopposed harmonious personal and professional success, prosperity and freedom.
Problems are negative and the answers or solutions are positive. They are opposites and cannot coexist. A negative problem cannot exist without there being an existing positive answer or solution to be negative about.
The universe is controlled and maintained by universal, irreversible, natural laws and principles. These positive natural laws and principles are defined by Webster, as “the creative and controlling forces of the universe” which, by their very nature, cannot abide anything unlike itself.
If negative problems were supported by “the creative and controlling forces of the universe,” they would be fixed and permanent and could never be resolved. A problem and its solution can no more coexist than light can coexist with darkness. We must see that any “problem” is not a real condition to be overcome but is simply the UNawareness of the answer or solution, which already exists in the infinitude of “the creative and controlling forces of the universe”.
When faced with a problem, ANY problem, we must learn to resist the temptation to treat it as a real “something” with which we must do battle. This is the commonly accepted confrontational approach to problem solving that produces more frustrations than solutions. It is the cause of all pressures, anxieties and conflict.
The only way to invoke the “creative and controlling forces of the universe” in your personal and professional experience is to totally embrace them to the exclusion of all else. This includes all the pictures the world is exposing us to. What appears “out there” in the material world is simply the effect of your mindset and is completely subservient to it. When diligently applied, this positive mindset, which Webster defines as, “a fixed way of thinking that determines and influences events and circumstances”, will dissolve problems as surely as light destroys darkness.
How can this affect the “tangible” world environment in which we live and do business? We can only experience that which is in our individual consciousness. As difficult as it may seem, we must invoke Webster’s definition of opposites and realize that what appears as an external world does not reflect the “creative and controlling forces of the universe” and is therefore without substance, power or authority.
This is a radical departure from traditionally accepted methods but for more than 50 years as a creative consultant, with particular expertise in problem solving, I have proven its validity in my own personal life and to the benefit of a widely diverse client base that has included many of the giants of American business.
Full details of this unique scientific approach to problem solving can be found in my book, “The Science of LIVING BETTER FOREVER“. It is available from Amazon or through bookstores everywhere.
