Ah, what I had forgotten in the advantage in understanding the law of polarity is that of transmutation which is doable among 'like' opposites. Interesting read. https://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/kyb/kyb12.htm

consider the old computer developer's adage: "garbage in garbage out".
the mind accepts whatever you fill it with.
then it becomes part of mindset.

the question in your practice should be
"what shall I fill it with now?"

there is so much to choose from,
but I do not recommend concepts of defensiveness fear or protection, yes to healing, and yes to nature and discovery of new things...

That was a good read. Recently I have been mulling over polarity in a different way tho. I'm interested in your thoughts here.

If one can recognize polarity and see the way polarity is a continuum, and one can see the potential for transmutation or the changing nature of the polarity, then where is true stability? Is it in changing to a specific side of the polarity?

My musings have been this: the clearer one sees this, the more indifferent one becomes. Because difference is the birthing point of polarity. Indifference is the unification.

Difference will make one act. Indifference will let one rest.

Yes, so, it seems, everything has polarity, and not everything has polarity, or doesn't need to be seen as having it for the sake of transmutation, if no longer needed, as with contentment.

Yeah and fighting can only be judged with bad boy lenses. So be mindful of what it means to judge the fighting :lol:

It's a really great video IMO

vampires drink blood to live a high life.

Did God create that?

I agree with this, protection seems to be one people commonly focus on that causes more harm than good. Because it is making someone else' safety your own business.

I do wish it would be possible to somehow set protection as a goal - not as an obsession with others but as a principle to teach people so they learn mistakes and never make them.

but that is not in keeping with who or what we are.

mistakes happen due to lack of information, or incomplete sensory exposure, and mostly due to incorrect perceptive reflexes, and those are all we have. we have no way of not making mistakes, we can pause our responding and maybe be better attuned in our reflex to that, but never can there be certainty that our action is appropriate in all cases.

this means we have to continually improve how we recover from error with dignity.
and that is a fact.
this should be expected and probably also should be a bigger part of social interaction.

we are still so much like Klingons, ready to die in battle, to rejoice in Stovakor and be praised.

Is that because it's called God, and/or is it the unconditioned ground?
