Thank you Hive account@imp.unity, I too have at one point or another found myself resonating in all three of these patterns. There is also another shape and it is a Triangle. I will touch on it a bit in my next post.

Resisting the inevitable is just plain silly, or futile. There will be ups and there will be downs. With each of them there are lessons to learn. We will repeat the cycle until we learn the lesson that we need to learn. There may even be many lessons to learn in the same cycle, but once we learn them we can be free from what ever burden we have placed on ourselves to force us to learn them.

The highs and lows cannot be done away with as nothing as can grow infinitely without repeating... These are the spiral-dynamics of evolving consciousness. We must always return to a previous point, but with a heightened view-point; then at each intersection and level we have already reached, we are given a new opportunity to put into practice all that we have learned.

That is more or less how I see it as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read my perspective, and for sharing yours.
