   %COPE DUALITY REJECT ACCEPT ALIENATE LOVE OBJECT 900220

     To cope wisely we must develop the skill to cope with
both  ends of each duality spectrum;  e.g.,  rejection and
acceptance,  alienation and love,  violence and affection,
repression and expression.  A  failure to deal wisely with
one end of such a duality spectrum may well be related  to
a  failure  to  deal  wisely with the  other  end  of  the
spectrum.  What may seem to be unrelated and  disconnected
dilemmas may be two poles of our failure to deal with such
a duality. We may oscillate back and forth between failure
at one end of the spectrum,  and failure at the other  end
of the spectrum. The oscillation may be a futile effort to
deal with a recent failure by running to the other extreme
of the spectrum.

     If   we  do  not  know  how  to  deal   wisely   with
unconditional acceptance, love,  affection and expression;
we  may  experience rejection,  alienation,  violence  and
repression as we fumble our creative opportunities.

     If  we  do  not  know how  to  deal  with  rejection,
alienation,  violence and repression;  we may not know how
to  accept  acceptance,  love,  affection and  expressions
which might heal our rejection,  alienation,  violence and
repression.
