This is an interesting article which bases itself on harmony between “apparent” opposing forces
Mindfulness
The practice of mindfulness is like a boat, and by practicing mindfulness, you offer yourself a boat. As long as you continue to practice, as long as you stay in the boat, you will not sink or drown in the river of suffering.
– Thich Nhat Hanh
Sub Conscience
Until you change the sub conscience mind, you cannot say that you have learned something. If something is worth learning, you should stick with it until you have changed your subconscious mind.

TRANSIENCY
“We should find perfect existence through imperfect existence.”
P91 Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind By Shunryu Suzuki
Paradox
Life is a paradox, so naturally this training we are doing is paradoxical. We have to learn to live with this. This is nature. It doesn’t get any better than this. This is it. So any effort to understand, and in so doing harmonize that which appears out of harmony, is going to be fruitless. Because the one who is looking to control things cannot understand by its own nature.
P407 Letting Go by Christopher Curtis
