Holding the Negative and the Positive

When J.G. Bennett said fifty years ago, “we will see the visible loss of trust in institutions” and that, “It will become evident a new social system will have to come.” He was talking then about the future that we are living now. He told us that the change that was needed, that was coming, “cannot come from polarity—from the passive majority who are governed, nor the active minority who possess power.” He said, “The transition from one system to another system can only come through the third force, from holding the negative and the positive together.”

Holding the negative and the positive.

            How do we do that? How can I work with this in my own life? This is the question I carry.
