The hideousness of what we are, half angel half demon, glorious and shameful, hiding our monstrous self which we all of us face from others lest they judge us only when we are accepting of it within ourself are we balanced, accepting of it in others are we humane, empathic.
To draw a line on that which is too terrible to accept is to limit our humanity.
Hell is only hell to those who cannot accept the full spectrum of what our species is, of what our ecology contains, of what Life itself is.
Acceptance as a healing path rejects those who reject. At whatever level we level off by drawing the line, to shut a trapdoor down on the hideous nature we repress and alienate.
The maths shows how many ancestors we each individual commonly have. Within that hoard are a huge spectrum of behaviours and personalities of nature's good and evil, lawful and chaotic, all over the spectrum.
We have been abusers and abiders, heroes and whores, saviours and sadists, compassionate and cruel, stupid and ingenius, each of us all in our roots. It is all still there since we were monkeys, rodents, reptiles, fish, worms, gelatinous blobs, that very same seed.
We are not a species alone and unique among the stars because life exists wherever it can and it evolves to form ecologies within which specification to niches occurs.
We have witnessed it here on Earth, it will be the same cosmic law everywhere. Those other humans beyond our scopes reckoning are as close to us as dolphins to dogs or more so.
When we see the alien in the other we see a monster. When we see the monster within the self we see true or else we turn our eyes away and blind ourselves from truth.
When we see the self in the other we see one awareness shared through multiple forms of individuation. When we see the angel within any of those we feel comfort this experience is not all hell.
Yet we are both and they are both. Angel and demon combined in balance because of factors we comprehend as reactive hurt and as confused primal essence.
There is tenderness toward the beast when we understand it's striving to become earthed and balanced. It's potent, wild nature frightening where that tenderness is replaced by reactive fear and need to quell the danger.
All energy seeks to balance. The more powerfully it surges the more powerful a calm will be made ultimately by its wake.
