The Law of Polarities
As with everything in nature, the Law of Polarities manages and balances the good of the whole. This is the Law of Karma as organized by the interdependence of all things.
The habit of the mind that we have now is to ignore and avoid what we call "bad" and to crave or chase what we call "good." So the vast majority of humanity spends all their energy chasing their desires, obsessively pursuing what we call "good." This phenomenon happens on every level in ourselves.
It is simple: when we go to a restaurant, what do we order? What we crave. When we watch TV what do we look for? What we desire. When we interact with other people what do we look for? What we crave.
We avoid anything that creates what we would call suffering, pain, discomfort, humiliation, fear, insecurity, death. We spend a great majority of our time avoiding things we don't want to deal with.
So as we travel this line of life pursuing all of our desires and avoiding whatever we cannot face, we are ignoring certain principles. It is the consciousness.
