Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I just resolve my internal conflicts and be done with it?
Because "Conflict Is a Structural Feature," not a bug. "Recognizing Conflict Without Attempting Resolution" is a High-Level Integrative Skill. Some conflicts are simply the result of being a complex human in a complex world. By stopping the frantic "attempt at resolution," you save the energy you were wasting on internal friction. You learn to live with the conflict. This "Peaceful Tension" is the hallmark of a mature, high-density identity.
What happens if I just let the conflict stay there?
It loses its "Threat Velocity." Most internal conflict only feels "bad" because we think we have to fix it. When you decide "It’s okay for this conflict to exist," the Threat system deactivates. The conflict may remain, but it becomes "quiet data" rather than a "crisis." This is the Recovered Meaning Era, where you are no longer a "problem to be solved," but a "life to be lived."
