Summary
In this episode, Chloe Pedalino discusses duality and the hermetic universal principle of polarity. She explains that everything in the universe has its pair of opposites and that opposites are identical in nature but different in degree. Chloe explores how the concept of duality developed, its evolutionary purpose, and also why and how it can be harmful. She discusses how duality can lead to maladaptive thought patterns as described by the evidenced-based therapy modality, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and how the principle of polarity challenges our black and white thinking and the negative effects of categorizing things as either good or bad. She emphasizes the importance of seeing things on a spectrum and reframing our perspectives to avoid harmful all-or-nothing thinking. Chloe also discusses the coexistence of spirituality and religion and the need for acceptance and understanding that people can have their own opinions, rather than conflict being created to attempt to force opinions or beliefs.
