Aligned with Source Energy or Not - It's Your Choice



Bald Eagle
Charcoal Sketch by Beverly Blanchard
This is an excerpt from my unpublished manuscript entitled, Is this Happiness?  Alexis has just asked her Spirit Guide Bald Eagle about the dark beings she saw earlier in the day at work.
 
 “I know you find this hard to believe, but, there are lots of different beings operating in your world.  When you begin to recognize that there is more than what you see, feel and hear with your physical apparatus you open yourself to new dimensions and worlds.  You will begin to see things which may lead to you questioning your sanity,” he said.

She nervously gave off a laugh and added, “Question my sanity?  I was beginning to think that perhaps I should check myself in for psychiatric testing.”

Bald Eagle roared, “Alexis, sometimes you are so melodramatic.  Let us continue because this subject can get really confusing for you humans.  There is no such thing as evil.  There is no right and wrong.  There is only energy that is aligned with Source Energy and that which is not.  Energy that is aligned with Source vibrates at a higher frequency.  Energy that vibrates at a lower frequency and that what you as humans consider evil is that which is unaligned with Source Energy.  There are varying degrees of vibration; however they are still part of the whole.  There is no separation.  In other words, they are two sides of the same coin.  The darkness and the light cannot be separated.  In some cases the darkness is part of your experience to reflect back your vibration.  It tells you what is going on inside of you.  Sometimes the darkness is there to provide you with contrast because without contrast you would not be able to expand.  Your only purpose in this earth walk is to evolve and to do this one must align with Source Energy.  The dark beings and gargoyles you saw this afternoon are of a lower vibration and as such are not of loving intent. You must understand

Contrast Makes the World Go Around

You can look at contrast like the channels on your television set.  There is a wide selection of programs that you can watch.  You watch something new.  You can watch only the programs you like.  You can watch those programs you loath.  You can flip to other shows during the commercial breaks.  You can mute it.  You can turn off the television.  You can leave the room.  You are the controller of what you watch and don’t watch.

Unfortunately with life, many of us do not see ourselves of being the holder of the remote control.  Often in the middle of a bad situation we neglect to realize we have options.  Instead we see ourselves as stuck with whatever program is playing out in our life and our only alternative is to complain about it.  So we rant about it.  We tell everyone we know about it.  The problem is the more you talk about that one bugaboo in your life; the more you set yourself up for similar situations.  It becomes your vibrational rendezvous point.

Recently a client called who was experiencing a problem at work.  She ranted on about the issue and was slightly perturbed when I suggested she think about something else.  I had given her the suggestion of thinking about how it would feel to be enjoying an afternoon on an outdoor terrace in Tuscany... wonderful sunshine, nice glass of red wine, plate of antipasto, good friends, laughter...She angrily retorted back, “I have to face reality!”  To which I replied, “Yes and you have a choice in the reality you want to face.  The reality you are facing right now is making you extremely angry and you are going to end up with more angry situations.  Change the channel and think about something that is going to give you a better feeling thought.  Think about all the things that are going right in your life.” 

So if your life has brought you a situation that is giving you some negative contrast here is what you can do:

1.         Change the channel in your mind.  Go back through your memory banks and find a thought or a situation that makes you feel good.  Focus on it.  Build it up in your imagination.  Your imagination is a powerful tool; use it to your advantage.
2.         Get off the subject.  The more you talk or think about it the more you lock into that vibration.  Life is like a variety show.  There may be one thing in your life that is going wrong but there are usually other things that are going right.  Focus on what is going right.

3.         Contrast lets you know what it is you don’t want.  Turn in the direction of what it is you do want.  Talk about what it is you want because talking about what it is you don’t want will only bring you more of what you don’t want.
 
4.         You can recognize as Bill Hicks says in the following video says, "It's Just A Ride."

The Law of Duality


Dancing Dolphins
Colored Pencil Sketch by Beverly Blanchard
One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions. -- Horace

The Law of Duality basically states that everything is on a continuum and has a complementary opposite within the whole.  To use an old adage, there may be two sides of a coin but there is only one coin. In other words, things that appear as opposites are in fact only two extremes of the same thing. For instance, heat and cold may appear to be opposites at first glance, but in truth they are simply varying degrees of the same thing.

On the physical level the law of duality is easy to understand.  We can make comparisons with physical eye.  For instance, there is life and death, day and night, short and tall, masculine and feminine, near and far, and so forth.  

What becomes problematic with the Law of Duality is when we start thinking that one aspect of the spectrum is better than the other aspect of spectrum. We get into labeling things as right or wrong.  Unlike mankind’s laws and morals, there is no right or wrong.  For example, in America they drive on the right side of the road.  In England they drive on the left side of the road.  Who is right and who is wrong?  Similarly there are no good or bad experiences.  Experiences are just experiences nothing more, nothing less.  What one learns from the experience is all that counts.  We have all had experiences that initially proved unpleasant but they became the greatest thing that happened to us.

Seeing things from only one perspective is a trap that keeps you locked into one aspect of a condition.   In every situation in life, under the Law of Duality you are simply seeking to balance the duality.  It is not about operating in either extreme.  It is about keeping to the middle path.  One does not however deny the moment.  To learn how live the moment all one needs to do is watch a child’s behaviour.  They get angry with someone and in the next moment they forget it.  They move on.  No stress.

Currently there are many who like to label the darkness as evil.  There is not a source of evil.  In this universe, there is only a source of love. There is however negative thought forms as every thought that has ever been thought is still in existence.  If you attune to these thought forms then you are attuning to that which is not Source Energy. 

It is also important to understand that in order to be for something; you must be against something.  For and against still indicates you are operating on the same continuum.  It is the reason most of our War Against (drugs, cancer, poverty, homelessness, etc.) campaigns do not work.  What we are essentially doing is focusing our energies on that which we do not want and in doing so we neglect to define what it is we do want.  As Einstein said, ‘you cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.’  

When working with this law you may find that when attempting to balance the duality you will end up attracting the opposite of what you want.  For the moment you call in that which you are seeking to balance, everything in its opposite will come tumbling into your life.  If you are seeking more clarity, confusion will seem to reign supreme.  Nothing will seem to be clear anymore, and you will wonder why you ever started on this journey.  Yet, if you continue to work on changing your thinking and your belief patterns you will reach the balance point.  This is what the Law of Duality is all about.  It is about reaching a balance point.  It is not about operating at either extreme.  It is about remaining at your centre even when the hurricane of life is swirling around you.

In the next post I will discuss how to deal with contrast.
