In this short video I will be talking about this contrast and how it links to the deeper concept of Duality...
Are you Contrast Bound
This week I want to talk to you about whether you are bound by contrast.
Your energy has the potential to shape your entire life.
How you manage the conversation between yourself and the outside world, and the universe, dictates how happy, abundant and successful you'll be, and what you magnetize towards you, at any given time.
At the center of all this is your capacity to tolerate contrast, otherwise known as duality.
Because it's everywhere. It's life as we know it. And life is not linear, and neither are we.
Since feelings are at the core of everything, it makes sense that if you expand your capacity to tolerate contrast in your body, while still working towards a higher vibration and getting things done, you become the calm amidst the storm, right?
At any given moment, we all have three things to contend with - the internal, the external, and the universal. How you think, feel behave, believe is the internal piece. How the outside physical world and other people impact you, or influence you, is the external piece. Your level of connection to the universe and the collective consciousness is obviously the universal piece.
In my experience, most people believe that they have to clear a block, or work something through, before they can even raise their vibration.
Not only is this not the case, but it can often lead to slow, protracted and painful journeys that cause a lot of stress.
Can you imagine how cool it would be, if you could expand your energetic capacity to hold both the light and the dark, and everything in between, and still maintain a healthy positive vibration? Instead of letting your energy get caught in a downward cycle of contraction that leaves you clambering back up to neutral and starting again?
It's a bit like snakes and ladders - what if you could remove the snakes and turn the ladders into beautiful glass elevators that not only get you there faster, but show you a beautiful view on the way?
The thing is, this isn't a destination, it's a journey - and it's a cyclical one.
Imagine a vortex going up and down, like Abraham Hicks's emotional vibration scale. At the bottom are all the dense, negative emotions and it goes up through vortex to the top where the highest emotional vibrations that we can carry live - like love and bliss and joy, and gratitude and compassion.
The thing is, we're either ascending up that beautiful vortex or staircase of vibrational frequency, or we're sliding back down the banister to where we came from.
The thing is, when we get these feelings of duality, we experience a kind of a clench, or an emotional charge in the body. For example, if you have an opinion, and somebody shares an opinion that is completely opposite to yours, and maybe somebody even contradicts your opinion, or criticizes it, there's that charge - that feeling of, of duality. It's uncomfortable, for lots of reasons. Mainly it's just that feeling that these things don't match, they don't agree, they are not in energetic harmony with each other, let's say.
It comes up a lot of the time in relationships when you want to do one thing your partner wants to do another. Does this mean it's the end of the world and you're not made for each other? Not necessarily, it just means it's two different opinions, two different feelings, two different sets of emotions and programming.
Now if you could expand your capacity to not just tolerate, but embrace, that duality, can you imagine how resilient you would be? How calm you could be no matter what was going on around you?
How good would it feel to know that it doesn't mean anything about you that someone thinks something different thank you, that they don't like what you said, or that maybe someone disagreed with you on your social media posts?
It doesn't mean anything other than they have a different vibration about whatever subject you are talking about than you, it's a simple as that.
When you look through that lens at life, things get a lot easier. The exhaustion of comparisonitis and "what if they don't like me, and what if I do the wrong thing" kind of just goes away.
As long as you're tuning into your inner navigation system, and your intuition in terms of what's the right, next move for you know, that's really all you need to be concerned with.
There are a few questions I run things through before I say or do things - "is it true? Is it necessary? And is it kind?"
If you look through those filters at the action that you want to take, it doesn't really matter if anybody agrees with you or not, as long as you're not causing any harm. It literally stops meaning anything about you.
When a lot of people hear this, they think "oh, yeah, but doesn't that mean I always have to be emotionally neutral like a robot?"
The answer is No, not at all. Far from it actually. It means that you are balancing between two energetic states in the middle, balanced.
It doesn't mean you can't have a difference of opinion because there's room for everything. The point is, if, if we can cope with that feeling it brings it up for us, then we don't go into a stress response about it or make it mean anything about us, and we stay clear headed.
Then we can make clear decisions, we can think more clearly, we can still be connected to our intuition to get that guidance about what's right and wrong for us.
Once you can master this, I promise you, your life will just expand beyond what you could ever possibly imagine.
Because it just feels so much lighter. It's so much easier, right? Things don't impact you like they did. And you have a lot more energy for the things that you want to do.
So I'm gonna leave you with this quote, from Sengcan - Pursue not the outer entanglements; Dwell not in the inner void; Be serene in the oneness of things; And dualism vanishes by itself.
Hope that you liked that and I'll see you next time.
