So your goal is to forcibly combine two extremes, rather than seeking said middle ground on it's own?
not forcibly, from my understanding we are supposed to naturally be doing this how else are you supposed to integrate your soul back together?
By finding the midground through moderation?
Taking one extreme in place of the other strikes me as Black & White or Feast/Famine thinking, and falls into the pursuit of perfection struggles a lot find themselves trapped in.even all of the western therapies teach to heal disorders like multiple personality disorder with unconditional love and gentleness and compassion because otherwise those other parts are not going to agree to integrate
Ideas like Radical Empathy and all that isn't so much Therapy as much as Faith.
I personally follow practices of Harm Reduction and Self-Conditioning, both with the aim of reducing problem patterns without it having to be about faith at all.
think of it this way- if an animal poisons you and you are poisoned would you just want half of the poison out or all of it? I could see saving a tiny bit in there to encourage immunity, but just halfway getting it out of your system could still be fatal or you could lose an apendage depending on how potent the poison is
I do not understand what is so complicated about this concept lol if something is very heavily imbalanced in one direction you apply the opposite direction to bring it back to center
I suppose that one has to have the goal of bringing all into balance and integration though if not then maybe some of what you are talking about could happen
