unity holds polarity

Unity holds Polarity
There is a wave of expansion that seems increasingly obvious and available, and just as subtle and profound for people of all ages. A movement from the small, grasping identities of the ego to the quiet warmth of the true and timeless Self. In this knowing as peace, as presence, there is no one identity to hold the beauty of experience or reject the horrors of life. There is simply the infinite, open, and love infused Awareness allowing these experiences to intimately rise and fall. The Self holds the mystery of the human experience with such spaciousness that the natural qualities we are, are free to rise in its wake. And a freedom to genuinely be whatever shows up in this new day.
This seems so important as we are exposed to the great, grave challenges for people on the planet as we FEEL their suffering. In horror, some of us can feel it as if it is our own, trauma memories ignited out of the past of our family lineages. While challenging, there is great freedom in first receiving the heart break that this information triggers from a body/somatic perspective. Meaning, allowing the felt sense of heart break with skillful means for it is infused with the inexhaustible nature of unconditional care.
The Earth world is a domain of duality, while pure consciousness itself is unified, expressing in polarity. When the unified consciousness of peace witnesses the human play of consciousness of war and surrender for example, we are not swayed into duality. The peace that I am sees the interplay of peace in the acts of war and surrender. Not one or the other, but as my Nonna used to say, ‘both three of you!”
And this both/three of you in turn allows for greater insight into acknowledging other plays of consciousness such as power, sovereignty, and a crisis of mercy. This knowledge, put into action, carries gravitas and wisdom.
As polarities increase in dramatic ways whether it be the weather, governments, or in families, there is an invitation to honor both the beauty and the beast as a play of consciousness begging for visibility. For example, if I am only beauty, then I benefit greatly from exploring the beast energy in my system to discover true authenticity. And, if I am only identified as the beast, then I benefit greatly from exploring the energy of beauty so to discover discernment.
This beast is most often self-loathing, self-blame, and often shame, guilt and the voice of condemnation, doubt, and critique. These expressions are not authentic to who we are truly, however they need to be seen and honored for they have a big, big role in the building of the identity project often from mother and father wounds experienced as a young child.
Now here is the interesting part. A child cannot ever recognize or blame a parent for unmet needs so from a survival perspective, they must blame themselves instead. It is my fault that my parents are getting divorced, therefore I am to blame, am bad, wrong, unlovable. I failed. Herein lies what is called innocent arrogance and a loyalty to holding ourselves in our unworthiness.
Unacknowledged this badness will project outwardly onto another as a blame for their unworthiness, their badness when, in fact, our own internal system is polarized.
So, circling back, when the essential Self welcomes the energy of badness – the beast – then the nervous and attachment systems relax. The inward and outward projections subside and finally it is possible to bear reality. Bearing reality starts within our own internal constructs. Clearly the more that our own polarized internal reality is allowed, then in turn we can allow and respond to the collective polarization with even greater compassion and expertise.
