Integration
The conflict is in man. Unless it is resolved there, it cannot be resolved anywhere else. The politics is within you; it is between the two parts of the mind. A very small bridge exists. If that bridge is broken through some accident, through some physiological defect or something else, the person becomes split, the person becomes two persons and the phenomenon of schizophrenia or split personality happens.
If the bridge is broken - and the bridge is very fragile - then you become two, you behave like two persons. In the morning you are very loving, very beautiful; in the evening you are very angry, absolutely different. You don't remember your morning...how can you remember? Another mind was functioning - and the person becomes two persons. If this bridge is strengthened so much that the two minds disappear as two and become one, then integration, then crystallization, arises.
What George Gurdjieff used to call the crystallization of being is nothing but these two minds becoming one, the meeting of the male and the female within, the meeting of yin and yang, the meeting of the left and right, the meeting of logic and illogic, the meeting of Plato and Aristotle.

Commentary:
The image of integration is the unio mystica, the fusion of opposites. This is a time of communication between the previously experienced dualities of life. Rather than night opposing day, dark suppressing light, they work together to create a unified whole, turning endlessly one into the other, each containing in its deepest core the seed of the opposite.
The eagle and the swan are both beings of flight and majesty. The eagle is the embodiment of power and aloneness. The swan is the embodiment of space and purity, gently floating and diving, upon and within the element of the emotions, entirely content and complete within her perfection and beauty.
We are the union of eagle and swan: male and female, fire and water, life and death. The card of integration is the symbol of self-creation, new life, and mystical union; otherwise known as alchemy.
那個衝突是在人裡面,除非它在裡面被解決,否則它無法在其他任何地方被解決。那個鬥爭是在你裡面,它存在於頭腦的兩個部份之間。那裡有一個小小的橋樑存在,如果那個橋樑因為某一個意外事件,或是因為某一種生理上的瑕疵,或其他原因而斷掉,那個人就變成分裂的,那個人就變成了兩個人,然後就會有人格分裂的現象發生。
如果那個橋樑斷掉了,因為那個橋樑非常脆弱,那麼你就會變成「二」,你就好像是兩個人在行動。在早上的時候,你非常具有愛心而且非常的美;到了晚上,你變得非常生氣,完全判若兩人。你不記得你的早上……你怎麼會記得呢?那是另一個頭腦在運作,因此那個人變成了兩人。如果這個橋樑被增強很多,使得兩個頭腦可以融合成一個,那麼就會有「整合」和「結晶」的產生。
戈齊福常常在說的「結晶」就是把兩個頭腦合而為一,內在的男性和內在的女性會合,陰和陽會合,左邊和右邊會合,邏輯和非邏輯會合以及柏拉圖和亞里斯多德會合。
整合的形象就是「神秘的一」,是相反兩極的融合。這是先前在生命中經驗到的相反兩極之間所溝通的時間。夜晚不反對白天,黑暗不壓抑光,它們一起運作來創造出一個統一的整體,永無止境地,由一個蛻變成另外一個,每一個在它最深處的核心都包含了相反的那一個的種子。
老鷹和天鵝都是會飛而且莊嚴的。老鷹是力量和單獨的化身。天鵝是空間和純潔的化身,她很溫和地飄在情感因素的上面或是潛入她裡面,在她的完美和優美裡面是完全滿足和完整的。
我們都是老鷹和天鵝的結合:男性和女性,火和水,生命和死亡。這張「整合」的卡是自我創造、新生命和神秘的結合的象徵,它也可以被視為一種煉金術。
