Rising Above Negativity

As I was re-arranging and re-organizing my home office space, I discovered an early paper I had written and presented as part of a graduation presentation for a Mediumship course I had participated in many years ago.

What caught my attention was the title:  “RISING ABOVE NEGATIVITY”.   I remember now so clearly my teacher, Jovita, reiterating over and over to “rise above negativity”.

I could hear her words… yet the “how to” eluded me in the beginning.   I wondered “just exactly, how do you rise above negativity?   

And so I began my presentation from definition…. 

WHAT IS NEGATIVITY?

Negativity: state of denial, refusal, withholding

What are we denying?   Refusing?  Witholding?

We are denying LOVE: the essence of our very being; a positive energy that sustains life.

We are actually refusing our own LIFE Force when we remain in negativity.

We are withholding who we really are…. which is LOVE, a positive energy force.

*Pure unconditional love; not the addictive love that is based on need and a sense of lack.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN WE ARE NEGATIVE?

We feel it!       What does it feel like?

How would we describe negativity?  (guilt,  jealousy, hate, despair, envy, etc.)

These are all emotions…. and emotions are energized thoughts!

When we allow negative thoughts to dwell within us we are actually energizing them and allowing them to be our focus of attention, thus depressing and destabilizing our own energy field which can lead to pain, illness, and disease.   

  (Positivity opens allowing energy to move through)           ( Negativity closes/leaving stagnation-blocks)

                                                          

HOW DO WE RISE ABOVE NEGATIVITY?

We can become familiar with the two laws below and utilize them daily.

Law of Attraction 

“We attract to ourselves that which is likened to our own thoughts and deed.”

This law suggests that we can carefully monitor our thoughts, words, and actions to mitigate any occurrence of negativity in our everyday lives.

Law of Control

“We actively shape our decisions, circumstances, and outcomes guided by our own values and beliefs.”

This law suggests that we cannot let ourselves react with anger, jealousy, or any of the other negative emotions or we will attract the same back to us through life influences or spirit entities.  Also… we can ask our doorkeeper to protect us.  Through mental control our Chemist or Main Control (doorkeeper) will see to it that the highest and best will be manifested through us and for us.  

THE KEY IS KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING

It’s not always easy to control our emotions.   We live within a world of duality/ polarity.  A polarity is one thing or concept that is “stretched” in two opposing directions; usually called the positive and negative poles.  This creates a range of gradient possibilities of experience between two poles.

Emotions operate according to the law of polarity,  for example love and hate are varying intensities of the same energy.

You must have both poles and both sides of the spectrum, both positive and negative for either side to exist.  It is impossible to have one side of the polarity without the other also existing.  It is impossible to have love without having experienced some degree of hate.  It is impossible to have physical pleasure without having experienced physical pain.  It is impossible to have happiness without having experienced unhappiness.  It is impossible to have love with having experienced hate.   

What does this mean?  

To the degree that you experience the emotion of love you, will experience hate.  In using the yin/yang symbol we can see that yin/ dark has the same equality as yang/light.

It is possible to accept any situation, circumstance, or event and become non-reactive to the negative influences in your life.  In learning to control your emotions and assume a non-judgmental attitude, you can learn to remain neutral and non-reactive in emotional situations and acquire a forgiving and compassionate stance due to personal experience and understanding.

Here are a few TECHNIQUES to use when a negativity arises….

• As you find yourself having a negative thought be conscious of any emotion that comes with it.     

        Be still…. listen…. and feel the emotion…. an insight will come, whether in thought or images,                that  will give you greater understanding and the capacity to express unconditional love.

• As you become aware of a negative emotion…. pay attention to it…. allow yourself to really feel           it.  Ask yourself  “what experience created this emotion?”  and  “what is the greater lesson?”                  

        This will take you out of negativity and bring you into a neutral (middle or core essence of                        yourself) and then you can allow a positive feeling or thought to come in.

This will take practice, but eventually you will learn to rise above negativity!
