"Paradox is Rhythm, Not Confusion," argues that paradoxical conflicts—such as those encountered on a spiritual path—should not be approached as problems requiring logical resolution. Instead, the text proposes that when the mind becomes overwhelmed by "catch-22s" like "surrender or control," the appropriate response is to treat the contradiction as a rhythm to be physically embraced rather than intellectually solved. Through a dialogue between a client and a therapist, the source suggests that engaging the body through movement, like dancing, allows one to surrender to the tension of two conflicting truths existing simultaneously. This perspective reframes paradox not as a source of madness or confusion, but as an invitation to stop arguing with the nature of life and instead move with its inherent contradictions. Ultimately, the piece concludes that true freedom comes from tolerating the existence of opposing realities without needing a final answer or resolution.
