It is a mechanical law of Nature and acts forming an equilibrium through which a third force can exist and that arises from the uniting of the other two.

To understand the Law of Opposites we can name some cases: the high and the low; white and black, the big and the small; the light and the dark, etc., etc. But the worst of all that has been created in man and his fractioning by the Ego and which feeds our spirit and forms us psychologically causing disequilibrium are those phrases "the good and the bad".

Since the mind has to answer many psychological aggregates or external situations from moment to moment that have an intimate relationship to our interior states, this places us in the good and the bad.

It is very rare for a person to ask, "What is the good?", "What is the bad?" We have rarely seen a person through respect for free expression of thought or others' sentiments, who didn't show partiality for either of these extremes.

The result of those who have achieved impartiality at those moments have had a third force rise in them which we can call equilibrium as an expression of comprehension for those who have captured that moment, showing in a clear and precise way that the truth is not in either of those extremes; they don't show partiality with any event internal nor external nor do they want to situate themselves under any circumstance for the good or the bad.

V. M. Samael illustrates this aspect when he says the following: "A person who is trying to do the WORK of THE FATHER, indisputably, must get out of the mechanicity of the Opposites." We don't want to be exaggerated with our appreciations, dear reader. We simply want to illustrate these aspects with the analysis.

If we say that some lady is pretty; we are affirming that she isn't ugly; if we say that so and so is dark-skinned, we are affirming that he isn't white; if we say, "I like this!" we are affirming that there is something that we don't like.

For the wiseman these things have an answer: don't affirm anything so as not to negate the opposite.

It might seem incomprehensible for any reader what we are saying here but as we have already said: "The law of the Opposites exists to sustain an equilibrium which is mechanical of Nature." That law originated the affirmation and the negation.

Every person who wants to get out of that mechanicity must learn to produce within himself in a voluntary and conscious way, that third force which is the comprehension of internal and external events.

As we have said, this third force is the conciliate; it does not impose itself for either of the two.

Every event in life tends to situate us in opposition of any of these laws and if we are attentive, we would discover our psychological aggregates; so that we would discover why we go for the white, the black, the pretty or the ugly. We would also discover why the human being has no centre of gravity in a permanent way with a relation to time and life.

It is said in every Gnostic text that God is the Truth; God is not a question of concepts, nor of opinions nor a hypothesis. If God is the truth and consciousness is a function of God, then the person who is trying to fuse himself with consciousness, should not be in any extreme nor much less be partial to opinions or concepts since through what is "a fact and correct" has nothing to do with the Consciousness nor with reality.

Equilibrium in relation to what we are saying here is what is going to permit us to walk the "vertical" in our Work without the thesis nor the antithesis of time and life; therefore we can direct our destiny toward the opposition of natural and mechanical laws that, as we have said, arose in man and in the Universe so that through the wise situation between these two, we could develop consciousness harmoniously extracting it from the events of life.

If we investigate the characteristics of God as the Father, as the Son and as the Holy Spirit, we find that the Father is the Holy Affirmation, the Holy Spirit is the Holy Negation and the Christ is the Holy Conciliator.

It is only through the Son, or our Internal Christ that we can balance in equivalent proportions in each one of us, these two originating forces of life.

If we have studied Gnosis and above all the logic of things, then we can analyse the axiom: "As it is above, it is below." We can find that in the home, the man represents the Holy Affirmation; the woman represents the Holy Negation and the son, the Holy Conciliator.

The Law of Opposites, as we have said, acts in everything; but not in the Consciousnesss nor the comprehension of the walkers of the vertical path.

Dear reader, perhaps you are one of those who thirsts for wisdom. Don't situate yourself in pro nor in contra of the good nor the bad, because this will move you away from the conciliator element of the WORK you are doing.
