A Polarity Of Energy

I have been pondering the nature of reality for who knows how long now. And the more I do, the simpler things become...

There is a tribe in Africa that has this practice: when a tribal member does something harmful, they circle around him and spend two days telling him how good he is, reminding him of all his acts of goodness. Instead of punishing him for his dark choice (which would only serve to make him darker), they bombard him with his own light that he has forgotten about. They enlighten him, so that he can make better choices from a more empowered place.

There is no such thing as morality. This is something we as humans created in an attempt to try to understand why people often do the wrong thing. (And to try to force them to do the 'right' thing but that's a whole other post.) There is only energy, and in this reality, a polarity of energy. On one side, a density, like gravity, that is dark, devoid of light, devoid of all aspects of light. On the other is light, made up of pure love, peace, forgiveness, joy, compassion, understanding, generosity, etc. In every moment we are faced with choices large and small. What determines our choices? How much energy we have. Do we have enough energy to supersede the density and pick the en-light-ened choice, that adds to us even more energy? For love, peace, gratitude, bliss, etc. increase us energetically. The more we choose them, the more we have the ability to continue choosing them. This is the concept the 12-step program is essentially built upon, which is why it works. If we do not have enough energy to supersede the density, we will choose from the dark end of the spectrum where judgement, fear, doubt, anger, hatred and the like reside. And these drain us of energy, so we will likely continue choosing them from sheer depletion.

How to supersede the dark end of the spectrum? Be conscious of your energy ‘bank’. As parents, we see this concept in our children all the time. If they get too tired, too hungry, they fall apart. They become too depleted to hold themselves together. We are the same albeit on a larger scale. We must always be watching which activities/thought forms/emotions, etc. deplete us and which add to us. Do more of the things that add to you, so that you can always be in positive territory. And the more you do this, the easier it is to give up the depleting things, for they no longer feel good. You don’t even have to try – they just fall away. Simple. (So get to it.)

And the next time you see someone making a choice (or living their entire lives) from the dark end of the polarity, see if you can view them through the eyes of compassion, as a person just like you, only with less energy. Perhaps they have had fewer opportunities to build their energy and maybe they don't even know they are energy. So they get buffeted by the density of this world, and fall into low energetic eddies that continually feed them dark choices. By your knowing the truth of them - that like you, they are eternal beings of light, unbesmirched emanations of God; by your holding this conscious awareness of them, you increase them. You actually add to them so that maybe their very next choice is brighter. Simply by your knowing you infuse light.

I know and hold each and every one of you as pure light, pure love, pure joy. May all beings know peace and happiness in this lifetime.
