SWITCHING POLARITY OR HOW TO BEGIN PLAYING FOR THE “OTHER TEAM”
The ancient teachings state that an enlightened man should be negative to god, positive to everything else. Stated another way, it means that he should receive from god and then give to everything and everyone else from within himself. According to the oldest teachings, this is the only proper action of an enlightened man, the only way to be. It is this state of being on his part that attracts by polarity all other beings who desire to receive what he has to give. Also, those who desire to find god within themselves especially attracted to the radiations coming from the enlightened man.
In an enlightened man, this attractive power is an automatic process. He is constantly giving off positive radiations. He is like a lighthouse, always giving forth his light, attracting all who seek the light unto himself. An enlightened soul is always beaming forth divine light, which is recognizable only by those other souls who desire to have that light within themselves, because it is they and they alone who recognize divine light for what it is. To all others, the enlightened man appears like a charlatan or trickster. In this way, Nature hides her secrets from those unworthy enough to recognize it.
The process is also similar to a divine farmer who is sowing seeds of energy and divine radiation. The more he gives of himself, like a giant fruit tree, the more highly regarded he is. The more he serves in this way, the more divinity he manifests, the more selfless he is, the more people will praise him, although the goal of the enlightened is not to receive accolades.
From a hermetic point of view, all reciprocal action of the electric and magnetic fluids is the action of Love. All actions that take place in the world of form, the physical world are really just the result of love. God is love is constant action and interaction. The only real love that is absolutely divine and does not require a requital from something else is a love that stems from the thing-no-thing called akasha, which is felt in meditation as a feeling of pulling out from the center, which indicates to the spiritual aspirant the direction all his actions should take—sending out instead of trying to attract to oneself from the world of form. Again, this is a natural and automatic process of enlightened people. This is also perfectly attainable for the ordinary person.
One way to begin doing this is to just BE oneself, to do what comes naturally, to do what one is best suited for, to be as you are, be what you are, which is a part of god living in a soul, living in a physical body, existing in the world of form, also called the physical world. Just remember that the real source of all things is THE Source, or God. It is found inside oneself. All things come from within.
Even when things or experiences seem to appear outside of oneself, one should not be fooled into thinking that the thing seemingly coming from “out there” has its origin from “out there”. Nothing could be more false. Everything that comes into existence has its origin from the Source, which is invisible. Funny how stage magicians are known for seemingly making things appear as if from nowhere, because that is exactly how human beings draw experiences to themselves, by appealing to the Source from within themselves to create an experience or draw to oneself a thing which has its origin from an invisible Source.
To constantly try to get what you need by ripping it from out of the physical world, or coaxing it from “out there” to “come here” is to operate in the wrong direction, spiritually speaking. This is the way of selfishness, of constantly trying to attract to oneself what one wants and desires.
The proper way to live is to appeal to the Source found within for all you need. If this is done, all that you need and ask for will appear as if by a miracle “out there” without you having to try to make it happen from the reverse direction.
Billions of humans on this earth right now think that the only way to live is to lie, cheat, and steal everything they want straight from the physical world with no regard as to where it really comes from, or if someone else needs that thing more then they do at that particular moment in time. Everyone is trying to get what they want by ripping it out of the physical world, totally oblivious to the fact that there is an easier way, not to mention a more divine way of getting what you need for your life.
Since few people ever see how the divine process works, most simply keep doing the same thing over and over, staying right where they are, and getting no more out of life than what they are used to at the current moment. This explains the tremendous inequity we see everywhere we look. It is reflected in the old statement, “The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.” Those who learn the best ways to selfishly get what they want from the 3d world get adept at it and the result is worldly success. Those who never learn such techniques usually stay at their current level of success or failure.
To live this way, in reverse divine direction, is to constantly live by one’s wits, always scheming to get what one desires. It is the way of the insane, the restless, the unhappy and miserable people of the world. It is a hopeless cycle from which there is no escape because it reflects the inner psychosis of the individual who truly believes that what is “out there” is the only reality. If this belief never changes, neither does the inner torment felt by the individual. They go round and round endlessly, never truly knowing their mistakes are causing their own hell, and they stay right where they are—in hell. Hell is not a place to go to after death, it is a place one lives in here and now. Selfishness is hell. Vanity in the soul is the evil that amplifies all evil.
The answer to this eternal dilemma is simple. Switch polarity.
If one wants to end such a hellish cycle of never-ending self-caused torment and despair, one must change the inner polarity from what one can get from “out there”, to what can one contribute from “in here” to “out there”.
This is the way of selflessness, the way of the adepts, the enlightened, the true human beings of the earth.
The way to stop being selfish and be more selfless is really not so profound as one might think. The way is easily explained this way. Stop thinking of yourself! Think of others instead. It harkens back to the old Golden Rule, doesn’t it? Do for others what you would have them do for you.
Of course the first question to arise from desiring to follow the Golden Rule is likely to be…what should I do for others in the first place? This is not difficult to answer. You need not look to anyone else but yourself for the answer.
Simply begin by adopting a basic suggestion based on the perspective I mentioned above; to look “out there” and ask how can I best contribute to improve what I see. Just look within and see where your best abilities lie, and use them. See where your inspiration lies and follow it. Look within and see what activity excites you and just do it. But do not make the mistake of thinking that this means just doing whatever the hell once chooses, irregardless of the consequences. Remember to keep in mind that you are to do something that is of use and assistance “out there” and not to attract attention or reward to yourself.
This can certainly be a tricky thing to accomplish. It is not in the Ego’s best interest to spend its energy doing things that will not benefit itself. This incredibly strong tendency must be fought with all of one’s strength and cunning.
If you can discover an activity that most excites you and offers help and assistance to others with no regard for yourself, then you are doing the right thing for you. In other words we call this, doing what you are meant to do.
This action of doing what you are meant to do is called doing your duty, or as it is sometimes referred to in eastern terminology, dharma.
And the action of doing your dharma is called karma yoga. Karma is translated as “action”. Yoga means “union”. When you are doing what you are meant to do, you are doing your dharma which is a union to the action you are meant to do, which is Karma Yoga. Explained another way, it is the work that comes naturally to you in this life, the work that you don’t mind doing for little monetary reward, or none. Doing what you love.
Doing your dharma or what you love goes a long way in offering liberation from the cycle of reincarnation into the 3d physical world, which according to yoga philosophy is the goal of every yogi, to earn release from this physical world. To reverse one’s polarity means perhaps more than anything, to not be attached in any way to the 3d world we live in. To be attached in any way assures one will be reincarnated so as to re-experience what one loves to experience by way of attachment to something in the 3d physical reality, which is anything but real. Do you see the endless cycle?
Reversing polarity is the fastest way to end the cycle of hell one normally experiences by trying to lie, cheat and steal from “out there”. Reversing polarity to selflessness is the way of divine fulfillment and liberation. It is the way of bringing Heaven down to Earth in that you are busy doing a thing which is changing the 3d world in a way that was impossible by trying to rip something out of it thru selfishness.
Reversing polarity is doing one’s True Will, doing exactly what God wants you to do with your life. When one does what God wants for us, happiness follows. Life is a joy because you are busy doing your dharma, what comes naturally. The thought of trying to attract to oneself something from the 3d world becomes laughable because you know that truthfully, the spirit of God that lives inside of you is the true source of everything you need.
Reversing polarity is the way of Divine Liberation from existence here in 3d reality (which is truly only a virtual reality).
The way of selfishness leads to death and rebirth, again and again, endlessly.
The way of selflessness leads to true life, and liberation from the endless cycle.
Isn’t it time to change? Isn’t it time to get out of “here”?
Do you really want to hang around here forever?
