LAW OF THREE (21) Absolutism-Relativism

LAW OF THREE (21) 

"Like ball batted back and forth a human being is batted by two forces within."

Yoga Upanishad

ACTION-REACTION

According to the principle of equilibrium between two opposing forces, the stronger the impulse of the initiating force the stronger the reaction of the opposing force.

The movement intended by the initiator of the first impulse often finds itself opposed by such an unexpected and powerful response that it finds itself pushed back beyond its original point of departure.  This is almost always the case with political doctrines.

If we examine the two powerful forces of Relativism-Fundamentalism from the perspective of the pendular law of action-reaction we will observe that the stronger the original impulse of Relativism the stronger reaction of Fundamentalism and vice-versa.

Relativism-Fundamentalism- are two absolute principles of incompatible natures with no dialogue between them. Their natures are absolute and paradoxically perfect. In human history these two forces live together in a permanent state of war. Each unsuccessfully trying to eliminate the other because the annihilation of one would signify the destruction of both.

Authoritarism, dictatorships and religious dogmatisms belong to Fundamentalism principle while democracies and liberalisms belong to the Relativism principle. The two opposing forces are simply referred to as the Right and the Left or the conflict between East and West.

The two forces coexist by the reactional power of Life which regularly breaks the equilibrium or impasse of the two opposing forces to prevent Life coming to a standstill

Human beings are carriers of the third or neutralising force. We experience within ourselves the tension between these two opposing forces and may succeed for a while to keep them apart. However inner tension may be too strong and feel tempted to surrender our power to one of the two opposing forces.
