One Area of Practice of Unity is in Our Dealings with People - (2197)

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.
