Treatment by Ed Preston, RScP
Synthesis
Prelude
I’m giving a talk next Sunday on “Synthesis” which came from an Angel Card drawn from a deck of Angel Cards.
One definition of “Synthesis” in Philosophy is the third stage of argument in Hegelian dialectic, which reconciles the mutually contradictory first two propositions, thesis andantithesis. So,
Thesis: I want to think about “Synthesis” tonight for my talk preparation.
Antithesis: I want to completely forget about “Synthesis” tonight and relax.
Synthesis: I want to completely forget about thinking about “Synthesis” tonight, or something like that.
Treatment
I come into my quietness and become still. I accept the peace of this stillness as the antithesis of the busy day that I have had. The peace brings a sense of gratitude for all the wonderful things I have gotten done in this busy day with its noise and movement and occasional stress. I blend the peace and the gratitude into a joyful synthesis of each thesis and each antithesis describing my day. I now divinely accept something I’ve said all my life, “There are two sides to every question.” I simply allow the goods and the bads, the ups and downs, the rights and wrongs, the this way and that ways of my life to become divine in my life as I synthesize them all into a feeling of Oneness. We are all one in the contrasts of life as we synthesis each moment, finding the broader view which makes us One with One another.
I realize that my world of opposites is also a world of Oneness. There are two sides to every coin. Even Oneness depends on Manyness for its own meaning. They require each in the synthesis of life as we know it. So, I celebrate the power we each have to synthesize our contrasts and conflicts and opposites into a celebration of life as it is, a life of Oneness that comes from our own power. I know each of us can know the peace that comes from synthesis in our lives. We rise above the opposites and see the bigger picture, knowing that Oneness and Manyness are our ultimate Synthesis. We accept and know.
For this sense of peace and gratitude I give great thanks. I accept my life, and the lives of everyone reading this, just as they are: full of theses and antitheses and syntheses. We have the power to synthesize joy from all that is. So, in great thanksgiving, I release and let it be, peacefully synthesized.
And so it is. Amen.
