Polarity - Are You In?
spoken audio meditation and healing channeled songs
Dear
Friends, The
opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite
of one profound truth may very well be another
profound truth. - Niels Bohr
A short note to start:
Friday, May 6 is a New Moon and Supermoon. That means the
moon is at its closest for the lunar month, and typically at
its strongest. We have learned how to energetically approach
Full Moons that are also Supermoons. We have had a lot of
those in the past few years! But this is happening on a New
Moon. And you have probably noticed it in the past few
days...It feels disconcerting. People look (to my psychic
sight) to be very ungrounded. it is like we are each chess
pieces, and we have picked ourselves up off of the board and
are debating where to put ourselves down on the board. Of
course this means we are choosing to potentially change how
we relate to all the people and things in our life! And it
is not an understandable linear change that we are making.
For this reason many people are feeling stranded and unable
to move forward. Clearing out what was (energetically) will
help tremendously in seeing the next step. Please keep this
in mind as you read (or listen) to the information below.
And yes, I have Private
Sessions available this
weekend.
For the past few months I have been fascinated by the
obvious presentation of polarity in the world around us.
And, I know the external events that present seemingly
opposite extremes are assisting me to recognize Truth when
it is wrapped in ways that I enjoy and don't enjoy it! An
obvious example is playing out upon the stage of American
political theater. As bizarre as American political events
are, I know that the souls involved are doing all of us a
great service when they model behavior and beliefs that
reflect what we may be hiding from our own awareness.
What we judge in others usually relates to an unresolved
issue or experience that we feel arising within us. During
the time that we are actively giving our attention to
judging another, whatever is arising within us is squashed
down, safely held under the threshold of our awareness. So
with this in mind, I asked my guides what is being revealed
to us spiritually in this American political season, and how
does this help us to grow and mature, both individually and
as a society? Here is what I heard:

from Mary |
One of my mentor-teachers, John Friedlander, shared a concept from Niels Bohr, one of the first physicists to explore quantum mechanics. Niels Bohr was quoted as saying that the opposite of any Great Truth is also true. This, to me, implies that Great Truths, as Niels Bohr called them, express themselves into both sides of polarity. Simple truths, he pointed out, are merely facts, and can't do this. The opposite of a fact, such as 2 + 2 = 4 is merely a falsehood, such as 2 + 2 = 3. For this reason Great Truths demonstrate the very essence of polarity; that one side of a polarity is equally as true and strong as its opposite side.
This idea of both sides of Great Truths being true arose, it seems, during the time that Niels Bohr was researching the nature of the electron, a sub-atomic particle. Or was it a wave? Quantum mechanics was finding that electrons exhibited behaviors associated with both a particle and a wave. From what I can tell all sub-atomic materials are now considered neither particles nor waves, and both particles and waves. A perfect example of the fundamental nature of our reality as being built upon polarity.
Even the nature of light is considered to be both a wave and a particle.

So
if such basic components of our world exist
simultaneously as opposite versions of themselves,
why would we, living here in human bodies, exist on
only one side of this polarity? After all, we exist
here within a physical world built upon atoms whose
components exist in both polarities of particle and
wave simultaneously. |
To me, this is why mystics have always seen the nature of reality as being fluid. Not quite solid, not fully ether…a bit of both, and yet fully neither. Scientists are now coming into agreement with this vantage point. From a spiritual perspective, I interpret this as meaning that it is not about meditating our way to a different reality. It is about both BEING (meditating) and DOING (action) our way to a different reality.
I realize many people believe that they can change their life by thinking. Thinking a lot and thinking often! But we live in polarity, which means creation happens because both poles, Doing and Being, are fully engaged. Thinking is a small aspect of the Doing side. (I know, you probably anticipated that I would classify thinking within the Being side.) But thinking (or avoiding thinking certain thoughts) implies that an end goal has already been decided upon. Being, on the other hand, implies an open awareness of possibility. During times of Being there is observation without judgment. The experience of Being allows for the spiritual energies to flow into Doing.

How
wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we
have some hope of making progress. |
There is power in meeting opposing viewpoints. When we have to muster our energies and bring our beliefs into coherent thoughts, expressing ourselves through language and actions, then and only then are we impacting the external world. Here is a fundamental paradox; we must be insightful, and yet those insights only exist in the world if we act upon them. BEING and DOING dance together. Here is one of the most important Great Truths of our duality!
I offer several healing songs below, as well as a new spoken audio meditation, HEALING FROM WITH POLARITY; The Gift of Polarity, How and Why we use Polarity in Our Lives.
May you each be blessed, and offer that blessing to all in our shared world,
-Norma
