Polarity is central to the human condition. To us reality is polar. And polarities is just a part of the natural order of things (yes/no, up/down, left/right, on/off, hot/cold, true/false, good/ bad, light/dark). These patterns help us understand our reality. Without shadows even vision would have no details It has long been understood that any value, quality, or attribute exists in relation to its opposite. So, “up” has meaning in relation to “down”, and “dry” has meaning in relation to “wet”, and so on. The ancient symbol of the Yin/Yang visually depicts a “whole” which is composed of the joining of opposites. There are two sides to everything. However, nothing around you is as it seems. Nothing exists until we percieve it — at least according to physics. In 2022, Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that upended one of our most fundamental beliefs: the universe is not locally real. All matter is purely energy in vibration. The Fourth Hermetic Principle (the Principle of Polarity) embodies the truth that all manifested things have "two sides"; "two aspects"; "two poles"; a "pair of opposites," with manifold degrees between the two extremes. It is all a matter of higher or lower vibrations. Heat and Cold are identical in nature, the differences being merely a matter of degrees. There is no place on the thermometer where heat ceases and cold begins. The very terms "high" and "low," which we are compelled to use, are but poles of the same thing — the terms are relative. So with "East and West" — travel around the world in an eastward direction, and you reach a point which is called west at your starting point, and you return from that westward point. Travel far enough North, and you will find yourself traveling South, or vice versa. So polarities simply demark boundaries of interdependent pairs that constitute the basic structure of being. Paradox is both the primal and the final truth. Life, whether we approve of it or not, is like that. Things are dual and so is man's nature a pairing of negative and positive. Polarities need each other and are interdependent. Polarities are all about managing relationships. Duality is a fact, and is a governing factor of the world and everything within it including ourselves. But the higher truths are embedded in pairs of things as nonduality. When “either‐or” answers aren’t clear, the choices may actually be polarities. Once you understand the concept of polarities and you begin to see interconnected pairs you are able to use these insights to clarify and address important issues, to make better decisions and to take more decisive action. We get into trouble when we try to define ourselves or others rigidly with one polarity to the complete exclusion of the other. In doing this, we restrict our range of possibility, and we actually empower the opposite polarity. The cognitive processes is multiple polarities which are at play at the same time, and they interact to make things even more complicated. Rarely do you operate at either extreme end of any pair. The basic animal motivations (including humans) are approach and avoidance. The brain has two halves correspondng to logic and emotion. The mind seeks to simplify experiences in order to make sense of them. Brain processes rely on habitual thinking to save on time and energy. There are choices and actions that lead us in different directions, and it is through those choices and actions that we create our realities. Sometimes we choose or do something that takes us in the opposite direction of the reality we want to create for ourselves. If you view all problems as opportunities, and then you think about ways to improve a process, then I think you find opportunity is absolutely everywhere. According to the Law of Attraction you attract more of whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether negative or positive. People who radiate positivity tend to attract people with the same level of energy and drive. We assume that there is a separation between self and others but here again it is a question of degree. Several monistic philosophies exist that differ in how it is that all is one, the Universal One. There is but one source, and so we can refer to it as Source, All That Is, God, Allah, whatever name you wish to use. Religion has always been an integral aspect of the human condition. Several philosophies describe a kind of "oneness" behind ordinary reality. Dualists in the philosophy of mind emphasize the radical difference between mind and matter. They all deny that the mind is the same as the brain, and some deny that the mind is wholly a product of the brain. Moral dualism refers to the opposition of good and evil in the mind of mankind. The Christian view that this is a good world that has gone wrong, but still retains the memory of what it ought to have been. In the modern world “dualism” most often refers to “mind-body dualism,” or the idea that the mind is separate from the body. Some say this is pathological dualism that is destructive, crippling —because you cannot be two things that are radically opposed. In Judaism and most Christianity there is a strict and vengeful God, while Buddhist and Hindu philosophies, reject the narrow monism and dualism of the Western tradition. Gregg Braden and others claim humans have been genetically altered to be more obedient. The New Age movement, movement spread through the occult and metaphysical religious communities in the 1970s and ʾ80s. It looked forward to a "New Age" of love and light and offered a foretaste of the coming era through personal transformation and healing. This New Age often involves a belief in a universal, spiritual energy influencing all aspects of life, guiding and connecting everything with "oneness." Our brains don’t exist in isolation – they’re constantly bathed in electromagnetic fields from our environment. From the Earth’s natural magnetic field to the artificial fields generated by our electronic devices and energies of the sun and planets. There is much talk about the earth having an upgrade at the molecular level, of higher rates of vibration at the physical level. And that humans are expericing a corresponding vibrational boost from 3D to 5D consciousness which is activating or awakening dormant spiritual possibilities. This is apparently partially due to solar flairs
