Spiritual Depth Perception

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Stereo vision is one of our more fascinating human abilities.  Our eyeballs capture 2D snapshots of our environment, and our brains and visual circuitry rapidly combine them into 3D images.  So even though our eyes are perceiving reality in two dimensions, by combining the data from both eyes in a specific way, we perceive our […]

Subjective Reality and Nonviolence

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

The perspective of subjective reality says the entire world — i.e. your seemingly objective physical reality — is a projection of your own consciousness.  This perspective suggests the only thing you can really change is yourself.  If you want to address the issue of violence in the world, you can only do so by turning within.  Go […]

For Love of Evil

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

I’d like to clarify a common question about polarity and love:  How does a darkworker experience love?
How lightworkers experience love
Lightworkers express love outwardly through forms such as giving and service.  Love is something that flows out of them and into the world.  This definition of love is fairly consistent with the social norm.  When you feel […]

Darkworkers, Lightworkers, and Levels of Consciousness

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

How can a darkworker experience higher levels of consciousness like unconditional love and peace? 
The original descriptions of the levels of consciousness are lightworker-biased.  For a darkworker the level of unconditional love is directed inwardly as love of self.  It’s like a highly concentrated form of arrogance.  It may not be expressed outwardly in the form of a smug attitude, but inwardly the […]

Polarity and Health

Friday, March 9th, 2007

What role does polarity play in health-oriented intentions such as the desire to lose weight?  Does polarity have a practical application to something like weight loss?
Let’s say you want to lose weight, so you form the following intention, where XXX represents your goal weight:
I weigh XXX pounds.
Now what is the polarity of this intention?  Is this a […]

Are You a Lightworker or a Darkworker?

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Asking this question is like asking whether you’re a black belt in karate or jujitsu.  Most likely you are neither, since most people never make such a commitment in their entire lives.  Lightworkers and darkworkers combined probably account for less than 1% of the population.
Becoming a lightworker or darkworker isn’t something that just happens to you.  It’s a […]

Polarity and Your Career

Monday, March 5th, 2007

As a follow-up to the Polarity and Polarization articles, let’s explore some practical applications of polarity-based thinking with respect to your career choices.
Better decision-making
The significance of polarity is that it can serve as a powerful decision-making tool.  It helps you cut through the fog of indecision to reach a new level of clarity.  When you look […]

Polarization

Monday, February 26th, 2007

This article continues our exploration of Polarity.  If you haven’t yet digested the first article, you’ll probably want to do so before reading this one, since now we’re going to extend those concepts even further.
A quick review
Every thought has two components:  content and energy.  Content is the data portion of a thought, and energy is the carrier […]

Polarity

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

In my last article on The #1 Mistake People Make When Using the Law of Attraction, I stated that every intention has a content component plus an energy component, and both are equally important when it comes to applying the Law of Attraction.  At the end of that article, I asserted that the energy component of every […]

The #1 Mistake People Make When Using the Law of Attraction

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Whenever you form an intention, that intention has two primary components.  The first component is the content of the intention.  The content is the information part of your desire.  It’s whatever you decide you want, such as a new career, a better relationship, or an extra $10,000.  That part is pretty straightforward.
The second component of an intention is the energy […]
