Two Faced is not Unity
We usually present others with an agreeable face but behind
their back we treat them with another face which is disagreeable.
It is really our pride on both accounts that does this.
The agreeable face of pride wants to be thought of
positively and wants to receive agreeable impressions and so it presents with
an agreeable face.
One the other hand pride and the ego in general likes
division, factions, conflicts and opposition so it presents this face behind
the back of the person we are duplicitous with.
For unity we need to bring both faces together and when we
do that we do away with the pride there involved. Unity dissolves pride!
Bring Both Faces Together into One Face
That is easy to do actually. We just stop complaining
against the person behind their back and bring the negative yet valid points
about the person into the open and present them respectfully to the person. We
don’t even have to present them directly we can present in general as long as
though they are presented and addressed.
Integrate your negative face with the positive face and presents
as one. Separate out the egoic components from the negative and positive faces.
Work on them. Focus on the valid negative and valid positive and present as
one. This is also how we reconcile duality.
End (2197).
