Simplicity & Complexity

Existence is beyond and embraces all polarities, so when we bring one into awareness - it allows the other to unfold as well.

When we simplify our lives, it allows for natural complexity to arise without resistance. When we live a complex life, it brings simplicity. (This is of course an odd phrasing - it all depends on what we mean by simplicity and complexity in this context.)

The ultimate simplicity is the nature of our mind - spacious awareness, stainless, beyond existence and nonexistence. And when we awaken to the nature of our mind, it allows all experiences to unfold without resistance - all the immense complexity of all phenomena. The ultimate (?) simplicity allows for ultimate (?) complexity.
