Move It! Move It! Move It!

Polarity is the universal stressor.  If nothing is happening in your life and you seem to be experiencing the same day over and over, you are not using the power of polarity.  If you find that your dreams are not manifesting, you are not utilizing one of your greatest creative tools, the power of polarity. The deliberate application of  this Principle to your life will enhance and energize you and your experiences beyond your wildest dreams..

 Einstein said, “nothing happens until it moves.”  He was referring to the idea that you are surrounded by an unlimited potential that lies dormant until it has a reason to move. Although I am not being presumptuous when I say that this possibility is waiting for you to move it, the question is, “how do you move this possibility into your life?” The means for this migration is given to you in Genesis when God separated the light from the darkness because this was the act that created the Principle of Polarity. The prevalent thought is, that God created night and day in this stage of  creation. Rather than night and day, He created the polarization of energy necessary for light to happen—the  Principle of  Polarity upon which the idea of light, or illumination, is founded. Without this Principle of Polarity, there would be no light, no new understanding.  Without polarity, nothing happens; nothing moves.  

This separation of light from the darkness is a metaphor describing the polarization of energy necessary for the movement of a passive potential into the world of expression  As we said, nothing moves until some kind of force or stress moves it.

You can get an idea of how  polarity works  by a cursory look at how a car battery works. Basically, all car batteries have two terminals, a positive and a negative. In a fully charged battery, the negative terminal has an excess of energy units called electrons, and the positive terminal has a deficiency of these electrons.  Because the universe dislikes imbalance, the drive is for the excess electrons on the negative terminal to flow to the deficiency on the positive terminal to achieve equilibrium. If you have had the unfortunate experience of being the connecting link between these two terminals,  you have experienced first hand the energizing flow of electrons from one terminal to the other.

This deficiency of electrons on one side and excess on the other creates a pressure, or polarity, measured in volts.  Electrical engineers designed the battery so no direct flow through the base of the battery can achieve this balance. What they did is electronically place the car and all its electrical devices between the two terminals. As  electrons flow (through the car) from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, they energize the motor, air conditioner, radio, CD player and all the other paraphernalia in cars these days. The car's alternator, when the engine is running, pumps electrons to the negative side of the battery so that balance is never achieved and the full 12 volts of polarity is maintained so you can continue to burn up all that over-priced gas. 

Okay, so how do you get  polarity to work in your life? Remember that polarity is created because of contrast or imbalance. If  the most exciting thing you do is watch the screen saver on your PC, there is a pretty good chance you need some polarity in your life. Watching the so-called reality shows on television puts money in the  producer's pocket but does nothing for putting polarity in your life.  

You add the power of polarity in your life with ideas—ideas that challenge you and create contrast between where you are and where you want to be or what you want to experience. We live in a world that has emerged out of the polarity created by ideas. If you look around the room that you are in, you will see that everything in it came from an idea. The pen, the computer as well as the software, the clock on the wall, the pictures, television, cell phone, and the watch on your wrist all came from ideas. The building you are in emerged from the idea being put into a blueprint. Even you are an idea that was initiated in the Mind of God.

Every idea knows how to complete itself. Just like any seed, it will grow into maturity if put into the right environment. Ideas mature through your use of the Creative Process.

Who Are You?

7/2/2015

 
“The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions.”  – Henry David Thoreau

The question arises – just what are you asking for? Are you asking for things or are you asking for understanding?

Do you accept that as your understanding grows, so does your consciousness, and that the nature of what you see as possibilities for your life experiences expands?

Do you believe that there are possibilities for you that you can’t see at this moment? Do you believe that it is only through examining the knowledge you have acquired about yourself and life that Your Truth emerges for you? Are you willing to access the love, courage, and wisdom that resides within you so that you can see who you really are and all that you are capable of expressing?

Doing this will change your conception of who you are and what you desire, as well as how you approach bringing it into expression.


Releasing Your Imprisoned Splendor 

5/30/2015

The philosopher Gurdjieff once said to his students, “All of you are in prison, and all you can wish for, if you are sensible people, is to escape…if a man in prison is to have at any time the chance of escape, he must realize first of all that he is in prison. So long as he fails to realize this, so long as he thinks he is free, he has no chance whatever.”

Gurdjieff was referring to the prison of mechanicalness that pervades the existence of most of us. That mechanicalness – that reacting to life in the same old ways as your conditioning dictates or as others expect you to – keeps you from realizing that you do not have to be at the mercy of life. You have the power to create your own life.

So, what does this have to do with writing? Everything. In order to write in an authentic way, we must not let ourselves be trapped behind the walls of convention. We must let our spirits be free to express in ways that resonate with the vibrations of our souls. We cannot limit ourselves by trying to express ourselves artistically according to the expectations of others. As writers, being aware of the danger if we choose to work from within this prison of convention is the only way in which the “imprisoned spendour” within us, as Browning describes it, is able to express creatively in the world.

PARACELSUS

Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things, whate’er you may believe.
There is an inmost centre in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness; and around,
Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in.
This perfect, clear perception – which is truth.
A baffling and perverting carnal mesh
Binds it, and makes all error: and to know
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence the imprisoned splendour may escape,
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without.

- Robert Browning

Spirituality vs. Dogma

3/31/2015

 
Strict religious dogma is the formatory mind in action. It defines spirituality through the perspective of man asleep, caught in the throes of his fears and sub-personalities. It separates everything into opposites, yes or no, black or white.  Religion clings to literal interpretations because the formatory mind functions from a consciousness of security, sensation, and power. These are considered the three lower levels of man’s experiences and reflect a man asleep.  Security and power create an “us vs. them” mentality, and sensation creates the opposites of boredom vs. thrills. 

The religious formatory mind does not have the capacity to understand the intricacies necessary for spiritual thought. Spiritual thought requires the ability to blend those opposites into a new understanding and to think from a place which is free of negative emotions and preconceived notions.  Spirituality requires a mind open to ideas that have never been considered before, ideas that carry you into new levels of experience, understanding, and love.

You Have A Right Not To Flip Out!

3/5/2015

I knew this guy once who was always angry. If I carried on a conversation with him, I would find myself getting angry. I finally had to admit that I enjoyed being around him because he made me feel angry. It felt really good to be angry; it made me feel more alive. 

So, here’s the deal, anger has a certain attracting power because it needs it to survive. Outer circumstances that can stir up feelings of anger are actually feeding it if we give in to the feelings. Like anything else that is alive, the anger within us needs food.   

Anger, like all emotions, knows how to survive. It has an innate intelligence. It defends itself by using our intellect to rationalize that anger doesn't harm us, that anger is just a natural reaction when someone crosses us. When we succumb to this brainwashing, anger would do a happy dance if it could because we have just given it a “shot in the arm,” so to speak. We have diverted our energies to support it. 

There are no accidents. Anger does serve a purpose, but it is not to attack the people or circumstances out there. Instead, we need to separate from the world of experience and take a hard look at this borrowed emotion called anger. As I said, it is what is drawing those outer circumstances to us that are supposedly making us angry. In the Bible, it says to “love those whom you hate or do you harm.” Why do you suppose that is? It is because these persons give us the opportunity to pull anger out into the light and take a good look at it. 

I am no different than anyone else on this planet, but I do want to make the best use of the time while I am here. One of the things I can do is recognize that anger is an emotion that I borrowed from the example of those around me when I was young and accepted as part of who I am. In truth, it blocks my ability to create a better life, whether that is emotionally, mentally, or physically.

So what would you be like if no person, place, or experience could make you angry? I don’t know, but don’t you think it would be an interesting experience? Just the idea that you could decide what person, place, or experience has the power to make you angry would be a MindSlap! Would you be the same person you currently see in the mirror? 

None of us has a full knowledge of the power of choice, but wouldn't it be interesting to see what would happen if you lived your life expressing this power? Rather than flipping out, you would more likely demonstrate the message in the song “Don’t Worry. Be Happy!”


Shuck The Voices In Your Head

Our minds have so much power. They can shift our mood in a nanosecond from happy to sad and just as quickly send us down the rabbit hole into feeling morose. It can convince us that we are not qualified to be writers or painters or mechanics or technicians or doctors or physicists. How does this happen? Are we not in charge of our minds? 

Of course, we are! The problem is that we don't seem to realize it. We let ourselves be convinced that the random thoughts created by past experiences have more power than we do. So we give in to them. We think it's some spirit whispering in our ear or our intuition. It is in fact a bunch of baloney! 

If we want to do something, AND if we move our feet to accomplish the things or the training necessary in the physical world, AND if we don't let the "voices in our heads" get in the way of our rational thought processes, AND if we don't give up, we can take charge of our minds and accomplish wondrous things. In that process, we are changed because we now know we have the power within us to reach for the goals we desire in our lives. 

Looking at the picture accompanying this post, I have to say that, in reality, our minds have more power than our hands because our mind directs our hands.

    Life can become so twisted
    at times that we lose the balance in our lives and don't even know it until we land face down in the garbage we've accumulated.
