Holding the tension of the opposites means that when you’re pulled hard in two different directions, you don’t rush to choose or shut one side down—you keep both viewpoints in mind and let each be heard with equal rights, as if two people were debating inside you. If you can stand that pressure without fleeing, something new appears from the unconscious: a symbol or fresh idea that is a living, third thing that includes truth from both sides.
This is the transcendent function that produces a new attitude you couldn’t reach by willpower alone. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s how Psyche grows without discarding essential parts of itself. Today, we’ll teach you how to do this.
