The Law of Polarity

The Law of Polarity states that all things exist in a continuum of presence between polar opposites.

Under the the Law of Energy Transmutation , we determined that what we think we perceive is actually an illusion. Nothing is ever truly what it seems to be.

However, if you had to constantly contemplate whether or not to rely upon the illusion of a floor, your trip from bed to the bathroom each morning could be a really terrifying experience. In order to avoid such problems, we live our lives in reliance upon the illusions that we perceive.

But, when we take the time to reflect, or make use of various technologies, we determine, for instance, that a single ray of light is more than what we perceive it to be. It contains a full spectrum of colors. In fact, the “presence” of any form is actually a continuum or spectrum. Its presence is non-detectable here, then barely detectable here, then clearly present, then less apparent there, and non-detectable over there. And, at the opposite ends of any detectable state are opposing properties (remember the Law of Gender ?)

For instance, men and women are made of basically the same “stuff’. They are comprised of basically the same substances. It is the slight variation in proportions that makes all the difference. They each have male hormones (like testosterone) and female hormones (like estrogen). What determines their classification as male or female is where along the spectrum of human gender they can be placed. Those closer to the male pole of the spectrum are considered “males”. Those closer to the female pole are said to be “female”. Those closer to the mid-point are harder to classify.

However, what is more important, and useful, to understand about The Law of Polarity is the empowerment that we derive from the understanding of this concept.

Take for example, love and fear. Under the Law of Love , we determined that love is the binding force that holds together what is intended to be together. “Fear” is its polar opposite.

Fear is the repelling force that keeps apart what is not intended to be together.

Each of us mentally places everything that we perceive in a specific location on a mental continuum between love and fear. That which we appreciate is placed closer to love. That which we appreciate less is placed closer to fear. “Indifference” occurs at the mid-point in the continuum.

The more we fear something, the less strong is our bond to it, because fear repels the love that might otherwise bring us closer to it. The less we fear something, the greater our bond to it, because love allows us to draw benefit from what we do not fear.

The greater our bond to a thing, the more appreciative we are of it; and the greater we perceive its usefulness to us.

Here, again, is reason why we should practice unconditional love and acceptance toward all things. THAT WHICH WE DO NOT FEAR IS MORE USEFUL TO US. When you love unconditionally all things around you, you draw benefit from all things.

Hate appears on the spectrum as we travel passed indifference toward fear. Passed hate is horror, and passed horror is terror which is about as close as we come to pure fear.

Understanding the Law of Polarity is crucial to our manifestation success.

Let’s look at a very simplified example. Suppose you are alone and stranded in the woods, five miles from a hospital, with a broken leg, bone protruding through your pierced and bleeding skin. The terrain between you and the hospital is steep, overgrown and rocky. What you want to manifest at that moment is quick access to help.

You notice that there is a river just feet away that flows directly pass the hospital. The problem is, you cannot swim and are terrified of the water. If you retain your fear of the water and keep the idea of getting into the water at the far end of your love/fear continuum, trying to cross just five miles in your condition could likely result in death. But if you shift your perspective, and mentally place the water closer to love, you could make use of floating debris, like driftwood, to latch onto and allow the water to carry you to help. In fact, when you shift your perspective and see yourself floating to help, and begin looking for debris, you will actually attract it.

Now clearly, very few of us would shun the water if we were in such dire straits. And yet, everyday we shun people, things, ideas and circumstances that could be just as useful, simply because we have placed them too far down the continuum toward the polar opposite of love. When we practice unconditional love, we move things on our continuum; we open ourselves to acceptance, and in so doing clear many more paths for the delivery of what we want.

To establish a bond with what we attract, we must overcome our fear of it.

Even as we attract what we desire, our fear of it (if present) is also repelling it. But, as we practice unconditional love and acceptance toward all things, we overcome our fear of all things. As a result, we can then attract what we desire with ease and quickness, and when it arrives we are less likely to lose it before we can benefit from it.

Remember, everything in existence wants fulfillment of its potential. We attract that which can help us to fulfill a perceived potential (including the potential to overcome fears upon which we focus), and we repel that which might be an obstacle to fulfillment. Our instinct to repel obstacles to fulfillment is what is being expressed through fear. In other words, we dislike, hate, are horrified by, or terror filled by that which we imagine will keep us from having the experience that we want to have; whether that experience is safety, satisfaction, pleasure, etc.

However, acceptance of the things that we fear, allow them to become useful. An understanding of the Law of Polarity, instructs you to look for, in every person, animal, object and circumstance, the willing support of your cause. Some will contribute little, others will contribute more.

Analyze what you dislike, and you will find fear.

Consider for a moment, things that you do not like. Something about those things stirs a fear in you. For instance, I don’t like very sugary sweet scents. I literally feel ill in the presence of certain perfumes and cotton candy. I have come to realize that this is because doctors used “sweet gas” to knock me out for oral surgery when I was a child, and that was a very scary moment for me.

Even people that you don’t like represent some type of fear that you have, just as you represent some type of fear to those who don’t like you. People who, for instance, don’t like heavy people were often heavy themselves in the past and fear that it could happen again; or were told that they would become “fat” if they continued to eat the foods they loved; or had a bad experience with someone considered overweight.

The good news is, when you successfully analyze those things that you do not like, you can often find strategies to overcome your fear and gain new paths of delivery for the things you want.

Also, the Law of Polarity provides that when you know what you don’t like, you also know what you do like, it’s the polar opposite. So, if you are uncertain about what you would consider an ideal life, make a list of the things that you do not like. Then, for each item consider carefully what its polar opposite is. When you have done this, your list of opposites will provide an excellent beginning for what you should be trying to attract into your life. But, don’t let this be a substitute for overcoming your fears. That too will be immensely helpful.
