Beyond the Dilemma: Being, Doing, and Becoming

Previously I wrote about the Being+Doing Dilemma. We feel as though we need to do and want to be. This is a closer look at how these two seemingly opposing forces can be reconciled. The expansive news: what allows for the alleviation of the tension can be brought to bear on most all instances involving diametrically opposing force. This is supported by The Law of Three which has been most widely spread through Gurdjieff’s work.

As a starting point it will help to name a few contextual and foundational aspects of the Law of Three and why it is important. As the name implies it involves three dimensions, each of these dimensions can be understood as an energy or animating force. The categories of these energies are: affirming, denying, and reconciling.
