"The attitude which I am outlining here is precisely in line with that of the Tao te Ching, where the movement must proceed through its own opposite if it is to arrive at its proper end—and here, returning to theodicy at last, we find that it is the refusal of this end, namely neglecting to leave the stage at the end of one’s scene, which constitutes a wrong."
Beautifully said. Exactly how it feels when the curtain call comes and the abyss demands sacrifice.
Geometry is a strange form of mathematics - being so easily visualised - and that Kepler viewed the dimensions between planets as nesting geometric shapes makes sense due to the specific and peculiar volume of the orbit of each.
Esoteric philosophers learn the planets, internalising them as gates or internal positions for navigation, and those internal dimensions are the biggest challenge; reconciliation to ones death is both philosophical and physical. But in that reconciliation one may jump in to the abyss in safety. Natural philosophers contemplate them more as an external phenomenon, but no true knowledge can be gained through pure objectivity.
"One, the other, and the tension between."
This is the Great Triad. Guénon wrote at length on it - throughout all versions of the perennial tradition there is always a great triad (he wrote a great deal on wu wei in that book too).
The metaphoric/metaphysic reality of this invisible concept aligns the anode and cathode with ion/electron potential in between, represented by man. This is seen in plasma cosmology as well.
