bjbjR Gold Nugget #3 Syzygy! The Union of Opposites Welcome to 24 Karat Gold Creative
Innovations Gold nugget #3 is Syzygy! This term from astronomy refers to an alignment
of things like the sun, earth, and moon. But it also applies to an alignment of opposites.
Last time I focused on the paradox of life--that a situation can put you in an either/or place
of forced choice like when either you are employed and that's good or you are not and
that's bad. And, it can also be viewed as "yes, it's bad", but it's also good because
it creates a new opportunity you hadn't seen before. Syzygy is about the union of opposites
like good and bad. When we line them up, we can see the shades of grey in between. Good
and bad become united by the grey areas. Hardly anything on earth is all bad or all good.
Recognizing the syzygy in your situation can open you up to the creative possibility of
opportunity you didn't see coming. Instead of, for example, believing that losing your
job is a sign of failure, feeling devastated over it, and collapsing into despair and immobility,
you have a choice to enact a very different response sequence. When life deals you lemons
you can respond out of the ground of paradox and syzygy and make pink lemonade. Syzygy!
