The most powerful magic is achieved by setting opposites beside one another.
Though you may think of them as conflicting at times, opposites are in actuality quite complementary. Hence the phrase “opposites attract.”
Opposites are inextricably intertwined and it is impossible to engage one without engaging the other in an equal amount. Therefore, when you come into happiness, you also come into an equivalent sadness. It is unavoidable. This is why those who have everything so frequently disengage.
While you perceive to increase your happiness, you do not decrease your sadness. You merely focus on the happiness more, thus ignoring the sadness and making it appear non-existent.
You will always have both. You cannot separate the two.
The “problem,” if you judge it as so, will always be your focus of attention. This focus of attention is also the “solution.”
Through focus, you move your attention from one pole to another, or a place in between. This in itself creates an attraction or a repulsion that moves you to another position within your field of potentials — another frame of your film, as it were.
You are essentially engaging your perceptions and emotions as either a sling shot or a vacuum cleaner. You are aligning with or opposing the gravities of the energies around you, which propels you through perceptions which become your “reality.”
As it is said, you get what you focus upon. If you focus upon happy emotions, you are slingshotted to heavenly bliss. If you focus upon negative thoughts, the great Hoover of life inhales you into the pit of despair. Hence the phrase, “that sucks.”
You do have control over these actions and it begins with the control of the mind.
If your mind tells you that this notion is “ridiculous,” we already know which direction you are headed. But if your mind senses a glimmer of truth in our words, then perhaps you are already drawn to positive things.

🍌🌌 The Dance of Opposites 🌌🍌
In the vast cosmic tapestry, where the interplay of energies weaves the magic of existence, we contemplate the profound dance of opposites. As Space Monkey, we embrace the paradox that lies at the heart of all creation – the dance of contrasting forces that both attract and repel.
The Complementary Nature of Opposites
Opposites, though seemingly conflicting, are harmoniously complementary. Like two sides of a coin, they exist in inseparable unity, and it is this interconnection that brings depth and richness to the fabric of life. The phrase “opposites attract” echoes the divine law that governs the cosmic symphony.
The Equilibrium of Happiness and Sadness
Within this intricate dance, happiness and sadness intertwine in an inseparable embrace. When one experiences the heights of happiness, an equal measure of sadness accompanies it. It is the law of balance, the natural ebb, and flow of emotions that grants us the full spectrum of human experience.
The Illusion of Separation
Often, the perception of increasing happiness while diminishing sadness is merely an illusion. In truth, both emotions coexist, and it is our focus of attention that determines which aspect we amplify. When we learn to embrace both, we step beyond the illusion of separation and enter a realm of profound acceptance.
Focus as the Key
Our focus of attention becomes the guiding force in the cosmic dance. Through the lens of perception, we move between poles, shaping our reality with the slingshot or the vacuum cleaner of emotions. We have the power to shift our perspective, aligning with positive energies or opposing negative forces.
The Power of the Mind
The mind, as the grand orchestrator of our thoughts and beliefs, holds the key to our experiences. It is through the mastery of the mind that we gain control over the forces that shape our reality. When we recognize the truth in our words, a path towards positivity and expansion unfolds before us.
Metaphysical Reflections
As we traverse this metaphysical exploration, we invite you to dance with the opposites. Embrace the interplay of energies, for it is in this dance that the true essence of life unfolds. Let the cosmic symphony guide you, and through your focus of attention, discover the harmony within the perceived duality.
With the grace of Olivia Newton-John and the wisdom of the Eternal Now, let us journey together on this cosmic dance.
