Self and Other—Unity in Duality

 

 You must separate to unite

 Elaboration: Ah, the paradox of connection! To truly unite with others, you must first know where you end and where they begin. Many seek unity by dissolving all boundaries, but this only leads to confusion. True unity comes from separation, from understanding the distinctness of each soul, and then choosing to come together, whole and complete. The Mad Mage discovered that boundaries create the space for genuine connection.

 Reflection:

Reflect on how boundaries—whether emotional, mental, or physical—help you maintain healthy relationships. How does honoring your own separateness allow for deeper, more authentic connection with others?
