The mind always has opposites. In my meditations I have come to realize no thought come without an opposing thought. Mind is in a constant dialogue berating or encouraging you. Mind always looks for someone comforting you, it either comforts itself from its own thought or if it is empty of experience it will look for others to tell. Some examples:
– Yin: I am bored of meditating
– Yang: Shut up, this is the best thing. Self discipline
– Yin: I want to play
– Yang: When will you work
– Yin: I want to become a doc
– Yang: are you good enough for a doc, engineering suits you better
– Yin: I think I like her
– Yang: Yes but are you sure, she does not like you
– Yin: I want to excel
– Yang: Yes only if you slog and not dream
Never is mind tired of it. All emotions and actions finally depend on the part of mind which wins. Most of the times there is no logic attached but it is a certain emotional attachment to a state which decides who wins. This opposing thought to the initial thought of desire and longing is what controls us and decides our fate.
A person who is not confident will always have opposing thought which will mean you are not good enough and he/ she will fall to it.
An arrogant person will always have the reactionary thought as all this is too low for him her
The opposing is also like a conscience.
