In this ancient wisdom podcast, Grandmother Medicine Song talks of the Rule of the Opposites. In the Hopi view there are 7 Life Lessons regarding the rule of opposites.  If you take a linear “either or view” you are limited to choosing one extreme or the other rather than seeing that what appears to be opposites exist in a circle that has no beginning or end.

In the old ways, terms such as good and bad were seldom used in their pure or extreme sense, but rather they are given a relative value since it was believed that one naturally implies the other.  Truth lies somewhere between the two poles, rather than at one or the other of the two poles.  This concept is known as the Rule of Opposites.

The Rule of Opposites helps us understand our Medicine by helping us understand our assumptions and our intentions. Rather than seeking the right answer, look at what choice, what action, will move you toward calmness and understanding.

Grandmother Medicine Song asks, can you look beyond the surface value, such as good and bad, in order to seek what is true?
