All of Life is in Polarity

All of Life is in Polarity
By Alisa Battaglia

All of life is in polarity-that is, in relationship to its opposite or polar energy and our level of connectivity in relation to it. For instance, our relationship in opposition to the social structures set into place. The disconnection or division comes from having to labor our living at the expense of our creative soul urge. Life demands that we work and pay taxes for our keep and yet this causes a drain on our life force creating exhaustion, dis-ease and aberrations. The balance, of course, between the two polarities would be to find right livelihood…in so many terms, to “Live our Bliss.”

The second opposition that we struggle with is our relationship to our environment. With the first opposition in concretization, there is little time for connection with nature outside office buildings. In cars, we come and go to the workplace, the mall, grocery stores and so on. We pass by what is left of nature around us. We are disconnected because there is no real connection to the environment. This lack of connectivity to nature causes us to disengage from vital life preserving forces that through connection would align us by default to the greater rhythm of our planetary body and the Kosmic circuit in which it resides. Harmonizing with nature whether by walking through a park, gardening, or even honoring the moons monthly cycles puts us in touch with the greater rhythm that has become so elusive in our busy lives.

The polarity continues as we move within because what we see that is not right in society is actually a reflection of the collective mindset in a particular area. This points us in the direction of looking at that which is not right within us. Inner conflict runs between extremes. On one end of the polarity spectrum there is total withdrawal expressed as narcissism in the personality complex. The narcissistic defense mechanism is one that detaches emotions from intimate forms of connectivity with a need to control life, people and circumstances. Functioning from the head, the focus is most often on material gain or position while the emotions are withdrawn from the needs of self and others. Sensitivity and inner sight of the authentic nature is lost and life is superficial and myopic. However, for every control freak there is a counterpart to play out the role of victimhood or supplicant. This is best expressed in the co-dependent and addictive mindset whose intense emotional grasping to things, people and circumstances causes them to lose sight of their deepest needs and desires as a human being. Again with the focus powered onto the object of ones attention-things, people, drugs and alcohol, money and gambling, clothes and glamour, thoughts, and so on, the fulfillment of the immediate need causes the mind to skim only the surface of self, others and life. Both expressions, one overly mental and one emotional, produce disjointed human beings. When time is not taken to examine what is right and not right within us, we live miserable, lonely and loveless lives. Passion for life’s gifts, mysteries or energy to investigate them is lost, as life energy is disconnected from the Kosmos, nature and self…and slowly the spirit within is asphyxiated from lack of connection to the wellspring of life. The spirit within is the nexus of our existence – it is the force that animates our body, the Promethian Spark that gives life and substance to an otherwise lifeless body.

The next polarity and perhaps the most vital, as it moves to the very core of our existence is between the human being in relation to spirit – the polarity between resistance to living our inner light and fully embracing our divinity. The question is “Who are you in relationship to this borrowed body whose name you call yourself?” “Are you the body or the dweller within the body?” This apparent disconnection to the source of our being is the very peril that binds us from liberation. Our mental constraints take the lead setting parameters when the soul is timeless and without human boundary. The soul’s limitless space reflects the potential of our human capacity. Our connection to the source of our divinity is the stuff that all of life is made. In this space or void, the boundaryless fairway of existence is the opposite spectrum of our human struggle – the brain that divides, bifurcates, separates and sections off with an attachment to ways of perceiving and living. Finally, the polarity of the soul in relation to Spirit – between the souls urge to immerse back into Sources spiraling well of energy as One Life or attachment to the souls sheath.

In all these levels of connectivity and separateness are layers and layers of differentiation between them. The balance point always meets at the neutral middle – the center path of heart where there is acceptance in the reflection of the other. It is the point of light within us that is wise, creative, joyful and loving. This sacred point of light that is the true self within is the initiator between extremes, the conjoiner of opposites – the multitude of polarities that exists on this plane. When we arise from the heart of neutrality, the true center of reality we act as the center point between Heaven and Earth.

 

We Are How We Vibrate ~ Whole-Self Wellbeing

We Are How We Vibrate
Whole-Self Wellbeing

 By Alisa Battaglia

 “Spirituality is a lens through which we view life and a gauge by which we evaluate it.” ~Elder Dallin H. Oaks

Master your senses, what you taste and smell, what you see, what you hear. In all things be a master of what you do and say and think. Be free. Are you quiet? Quieten your body. Quieten your mind. By your own efforts Waken yourself, watch yourself, And live joyfully. Follow the truth of the way. Reflect upon it. Make it your own. Live it. It will always sustain you. ~From the Dhammapada

 Whole-self wellbeing (the Body-Heart-Mind-Spirit organism) is essentially the result of a harmonious flow of energy with the Source within—the pure positive energy of our Eternal Nature. As non-physical energy beings, we abide in kosmic flow that is out of time. We feel the living stream of Spirit flow through us when we are present, focused in the ever unfolding Now. Yet, in the physical manifest self, we are locked into structural frames of time. These frames are of things past, the known, and also of future events that are unknown. These frames of time orient our minds and lock us into limitation. The words “letting go” and “flow” are keys to increasing vibrational resonance because they allow us to expand. Expansion is who we are.

The vibrational evolution of the Kosmos, of humanity, of ourselves all expands, but when we stand apart from that expanded vibration—negative emotion, ideas and selfish desires are born, because the physical and non-physical self are not in the same space time continuum.

Our eternal non-physical self is always in high vibration and since the Soul is the human standard of our inner striving we must align and keep steady to that signal of the expanded version of ourselves. This is how we deliberately create our reality—the law of attraction brings to us what we think and then brings more of it. We either manufacture positive or negative streams of vibration to magnetize those thoughts into manifestation. It is really that simple!

To strive toward the standard of the Soul, we must have a self-loving willingness to align with Source Creator. The motivation is about caring how we feel in our bodies. How feeling states always serve as our vibrational barometer to the quality of alignment with our Source within. For instance, negative mood states tell us that we are off track—that we are holding vibrational discord and have disconnected from the greater stream of wellbeing.

When this occurs, we must orient ourselves back to center— toward the Soul’s range of vibration of pure positive energy. The more we practice aligning to our inner Source, the easier it gets and flow becomes our natural state of being. Until then we need lots of practice because our high vibrational inner being will not join us by dropping down into negative vibration or move toward us. Instead, we must hold willingness and use our feeling center to move closer to our inner stream for alignment. The closer our vibrational stream aligns to the vibrational flow of the Source within, the more positive our stream of consciousness and the less resistant we are to life.

 While there are no good or bad forces, just a stream of wellbeing, we either allow alignment with pure positive energy or we do not. Deviation from our inner stream of Beingness is what makes emotions feel bad and we enter negative mood states because we are drawn away from our true nature.  Holding ourselves vibrationally hostage to negative emotion pinches us off from higher vibrational feelings such as balance, peace, clarity, and joy. Negative emotions such as friction, fragmentation, worry, anxiety and divisive thinking, always produces inner turbulence which is a clear indication that our thoughts are out of range or don’t match with the fast streams of our positive expanding vibration.  Negative thoughts always have emotional tags attached, which is a clear indication that we are out of integrity with the vibrational range of our expanding self. Those same negative thoughts held for too long a time creates distortion in our stream of wellbeing that invites dis-ease because dis-ease blocks the light from beaming into our experiences.

Inner healing means that we have to practice ourselves into alignment, as the Source within us knows what it wants, while the physical part of us is in gridlock because it is focused on what it does not want and therefore, cannot expand.  The perspective of the Soul sees things in the expanded version, while the physical self has not caught up. For guidance, we ask, “Inner Being, how do you feel about this? What do you think? Inner being, how am I tuning myself?” And then we listen for first response!

The inner dimension of our expanding Higher Self always seeks fusion between the opposites giving birth to multidimensional realities. The matrix reality and the Spiritual reality become holistic partners for fusion into the physical. As we focus on the expanded reality of what is possible, rather than what is garnered by our conditioning projected as actual, the steady stream of pure positive energy activates our natural feeling guidance system and we tap into the conscious inner knowing of the heart. Expansion begins, and we create from the inside out.

When we are attuned to force, our relationships are healthy, occupation fulfilling, creativity is positively channeled and regular physical nutrition and activity is a commitment. A stream of well-being pervades us and our hunger for living is satisfied through a constant expansion of being and greater congruency between what we think, feel, say and do. We experience joy,  simplicity and ease.

Living in the stream helps us to drop old patterns and attachments. As we resonate higher, we attract new experiences and relate with an expanding awareness. Old attachments to food and needs to insulate to feel good, dissolves. What we eat becomes “secondary” because we feel full with excitement, have fun, feel love, and passion for life. When these areas are out of balance or we are in disconnect with vibrational flow of the Source within, our body wisdom sends us messages to get our attention as to what it needs to fill the vacancy or hunger void of unexpressed potential.

Messages come in the form of cravings, addictions, body pain, negative mood states, or things that appear as problems overwhelming our lives. Other insights about ourselves come through dreams, synchronicity, Nature, and intuition if we pay close enough attention.

Whole-Self Wellbeing involves continual learning and flexibility. To make a difference we have to do something different; we have to step out of the box of time that we were born into, change the way we are doing things and adjust aspects of our perspective lifestyle to experience something new. This requires making a choice and the willingness to follow through until the changes have become inherent within. Responsibility therein, is placed on the individual, where it becomes a matter of self-evaluation and self-assessment to make changes as necessary to enhance the state of wellness and to elevate consciousness.

Evolution of the Senses through Webstring Attractions

Evolution of the Senses through Webstring Attractions

By Alisa Battaglia

Each is a natural attraction string in the web of life, a webstring that helps to hold the world together, including people, through universal natural attraction communications, guidance and motivations. ~ Michael J. Cohen

Humanity is reaching a threshold where beyond that point is liberation from mind. What trails ahead beyond the threshold and how it all plays out actually depend on you. I know you hear it all the time, thought creates reality, true, but that is only half the quotient, the other is the sentient feeling factor that seems to be buried in the classroom of mechanistic thought and its ideals, social behaviors and declining mores, stoic relating, sex just to get off, addiction and aberration, to name a few and the crux of all woes being the mass disconnection from Nature. The answer to my question, “what trails ahead beyond the threshold” is the evolution of the senses contained in the ever present NOW. There is a way to regain them, your senses that is, and I will show you how through the Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP).

The senses are what lie beyond the threshold. They are like the guiding light as they are ever ahead of any action – they are the gel, the cohesive creation threads that guide us in unison with thought, word and movement. Together they form the ribbons of conscious co-creative relationship always in rhythm, in constant expression and expansion. The senses work together with these natural streams of intelligence that comprise the very fabric of our world, which makes common sense to connect with them.

So how does one move into rhythm with the Laws of the ever expanding Self as Nature? Reclaim the Self as part of the whole. “HUH?” you say “what’s that supposed to mean?” Nature baby, Nature! Connect with Nature! The more we ground and connect with Nature, the more we develop our natural senses into empathy that far supersedes the 5 or even the 7 acclaimed super senses because natural senses include all of us AS NATURE, not just a PART IN NATURE. The sentient Earth does not function in parts. She is a cohesive interactive regenerating whole in constant evolutionary expansion inclusive of every particle of existence. She is without word, but the vibration of her heartbeat dances in tune with cosmic symphony and your heart, if you let it.

For starters, the five to seven senses belong to the physical body, but since we actually are more ethereal than physical in total existence. We have at least 53 sensory attractions at our current disposal when we connect with Nature’s infinite loving intelligence. William Shakespeare’s quote could not be truer, “One touch of Nature makes the whole world kin.” This reveals great depth to the matters of multidimensionality because a multidimensional consciousness is about expanding the vector of perception from its fixed angle to one that is all at once, 360 degrees to produce gnosis or full knowing. This faculty of high vibrational sensory perception is our human birthright. It is the gift of Spirit to humanity from the Creator of Love. NOW is the moment to step into your I AM presence to activate these dormant faculties through communion with Nature.

 You do this through your feeling apparatus, not your mind. Your senses will reveal to you through natural “attractions” what feels good and is joyful and what is repugnant or harmful. Following the streams of positive sensory attractions with constancy produces indelible imprints or energy pathways of sensitive connection. These empathic wordless webstring attraction relationships are necessary to hold your vibration stable in order to interface with everything that meets your presence so that you may perceive with a wider vector and coherently assimilate streams of incoming information with greater clarity and sensitivity to the whole of life.

If your faculty of perception could step up in vibration you could see that these subtle filaments or webstrings form the entire web of life. Since these connections are invisible and can only be deciphered correctly through felt sense, it might be useful to imagine them as feelers or webstrings that reach out to you tickling and joyfully bonding in conscious awareness with all those open to partaking in life’s giving.

Today’s mechanistic society has conditioned your senses to dullness, to be apathetic and disconnected to your true Being as Nature. Don’t take this personally, it’s a planetary schema, but do take it to heart so that you learn to regain your sensitivity in order to interface more completely and authentically with life around you. It is up to only you to step out of the conditioned box, to unplug from the technological mechanistic Patrix mindset and reconnect to the regenerative power of Natures database upon which your forebears knew – that which you are remembering and with hope that your future generations will secure nature-wisdom as a cultural imperative upon which all life revolves.

Partake in Natures renewing powers to enliven your senses, feel joy, reduce stress and remove thought pollution that blocks clear knowing, heal and regenerate, relate more effectively and balance your life with authenticity and response-ability back into integrity with the whole of Nature’s grace.
