LAW OF THREE (5) In the world of duality the third force is the Ego

LAW OF THREE (5)

The only viable alternative to reactional behaviour -attraction-repulsion- is Love.  

A. Blake

THE WORLD OF DUALITY

Newton's third law of motion states that " for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Like-dislike, good-bad, attraction-repulsion dominate the everyday activity of the ordinary world.  If we consider that the action-reaction movements in the dual world would be cancelled (the result being 0) according to Newton's third law of motion, what keeps the activities of the world moving?

A new force coming from a different plane must be present and active to maintain the automatic and repetitive pendular activity of every moment of time.  The nature of this new force must be capable of reconciling and giving direction (or finding use) to the otherwise contrary forces.  A comparison can be made to the accelerator-breaks-steering wheel functions in a car.  The accelerator-brakes are necessary forces in the direction of the car (steering wheel).  

In the aw of Three we can discern evolutionary triads and involutionary ones.  Conscious and automatic triads depending on who is in the driving seat.   The driver can be the Ego, the False or Memory-Self, or the True Self.

It may surprise that the ego can seat in the driving seat of our lives.  But although the Ego is not an a true independent force, but it is still a force, except that it can only operate through the affirming (+) or though the denying or resisting force (-). In other words the ego can only take sides or seek its own advantage by taking sides. It cannot be an independent or neutralising force because its view is dual (or partial) and can only operate by lending its force to a yes or no, like or dislike. or to the thought, feeling or sensation with which it is identified.

The Ego or False Self cannot love friends and enemies at the same time and become a true neutralising force. The ego can take sides,  but a true third force like love or justice cannot take sides. The ego, although it can control or suppress the emotions (and serve egoism), cannot serve a universal purpose (forgive enemies or show mercy).
