To find the right balance, we need to experience the extremes, and know them. Because by knowing the extremes, it is possible to deduce the center. To map the entire landscape of human experience enabled by creation is to be able to live and pass through the deepest darkness in the brightest light. The experience of extremes allows us to identify the pivot of our being, to be able to locate and maintain balance, to inhabit the central point of our power from which the possibilities of elevations and expressions of our essence are the stronger. New situations, pushing our limits of what is known and what is comfortable, are important steps on the path to self-knowledge. Without a new situation, it is impossible to know ourselves better. It is then possible to find a higher accuracy because it encompasses a broader reality of experiences. The strength and persistence of our attitude will do the rest.
