it's eternal process of BECOMING balanced with BEING. like the concept of an asymptote, you're always approaching the Platonic Form of yourSelf.

You're always in the process of being perfected.

What about Sufism?

Spiritual liberation can thus be seen as a four step, sequential, duality-bridging process. The female aspect first liberates the male spiritually (integration of the anima), the male liberates the female materially (the slaying of the dragon), the female liberates the male materially (the holy marriage), the male liberates the female spiritually (the integration of the animus) – this final step is hinted at by Andromeda’s very name, which means “to be mindful of man.” In Jungian terms, the result is a quaternio hieros gamos – a holy marriage between the four aspects of the two individuals.

In every corner of the universe, you can find your lover. If you tap into this, you become aware that the universe is founded on this interplay between male and female, the one verse, "I love you."

It's about Being and Becoming and striking a balance between the two:

These two pictures demonstrate the same dualistic principle: Being / Becoming; Prana / Kundalini (the snake)

Geb, the father of snakes on the bottom, represents the Becoming force, the serpent, satan, the drive for evolution, novelty. Nut, the sky mother, represents the source of the divine spark of conscioussness, pure Being. Both forces are in balance in this picture.

In the other picture, the genders are interestingly reversed, but Shiva represents eternal consciousness that the shakti enegy (Kali) overwhelms. In this picture, the forces are out of balance, Kali (the Becoming, serpent, shakti) is trampling on her counterpart, Shiva (Being, consciousness). Sometimes the shakti overpowers conscioussness (in this case, to destroy evil).

This is the higher aspects of mind and spirit (the connection to source, i.e. holy spirit, the eternal atman) vs. the vitality of matter (the serpent, kundalini, dragon, i.e. the magnetic base that attempts to climb it’s way back to source through the novelty generation);

In other words: the steadfast sustaining life force (Being) vs. the chaotic evolutionary force (Becoming)
