Understanding Duality in Spirituality

Duality has always been the foundation of our universe, which is why it’s a place of polarity. Without duality, there would be no contrast. There would be no diversity. Everything would be the same which means you wouldn’t exist. Well… not in this form anyway.

Everything has a shadow, for the laws of physics depend on it. Light does not exist without darkness. Happiness does not exist without suffering. Life does not exist without death. Everything in our universe has an opposite which creates space for contrast. This is why so much happens here — from bizarre, to beautiful, to horrific, and everything in between.

After all, that’s just how the universe works, but have you ever questioned why our universe works this way?

The concept of duality extends into every aspect of life as we learn to understand it. That’s why we will do a deep dive into this concept so that you can better navigate yourself within this bizarre realm of polarity.

Duality meaning

Duality is a mechanism of the universe where every extreme has an opposite extreme — facilitating contrast, polarity, and diversity of experience. We exist as separate beings that go through individual experiences, which are facilitated by opposites. We live in the middle of these opposites. This is why narrative exists.
