To consciously apply any virtue or quality of our Inner Being, we need to take into account the duality inside the virtue and the duality of the virtue, that is, its two sides.
We are interested in consciously applying the virtue because that is what we need to do die within ourselves. On one hand we need to dissolve the ego and on the other, we need to bring the virtue to fully replace the ego and educate the essence that is freed as we work on the ego.
For example to consciously apply justice we need to know about mercy and rigour as they are the two columns of the law and we need to know about the two extremes of justice. That is unjust because of being too lenient and injustice because of being too harsh.
When we know the two sides then we need to balance the two sides and we will apply the virtue correctly - that is consciously.
Love, patience, trust, chastity, wisdom etc. have their two sides.
Some virtues must be applied with another virtue. For example, wisdom and must be applied with love present.
Within love there is remedy and correction.
Within chastity there is transmutation and then the two sides of losing the energy and the other side of retaining it but not transmuting it.
Use this formula for any virtue that you need to apply. It will save you lots of time in working out how to best and most correctly apply the virtue in the circumstances of your life and path.
