Text: Self Definition and Beyond Polarity Q: The point came up in a previous question about the dual nature of personality. If I have two sides to my personality, and one of them I like, and one of them I don't likeŠ B: One is positive, one is negative. Q: Okay. But let's say the negative side wants to eat too many twinkies, and he has all kinds of urgesŠ B: All right. Q: If I don't satisfy those urges, I feel discomfort. If however, I do satisfy those urges, I feel remorse. How do you resolve this dualness of human personality? B: By simply recognizing first and foremost that all polarity exists as one thing -- outside of the physical reality in your whole nature - - and that you do not have to continue seeing yourself as a dichotomy. You do not have to continue to see yourself as a struggle against, or between, this and that. Simply recognize that you have at any given moment, freewill of preference. If you recognize that the idea of the ingestion of those substances does not vibrate with the being that you prefer to be, then if you act like that being, you will find you do not have the urge -- because you are not of the vibration that would contain the idea "I have the urge to eat this." Define yourself. Q: Could that be called willpower orŠ B: Not will power; recognition. Ceasing of judgment of yourself; ceasing of the belief, the changing of the belief that changing is difficult. The changing of the belief that having the concept of what you would prefer to be is not the same thing as being it -- when it is. The changing of the belief that having the concept still implies you have to do something to become the concept you have imagined -- when imagining it is becoming the concept. Believing that, is what will make the change. Q: So what is my so-called bad side showing me? B: That you have the opportunity to prefer something else, and to recognize that as soon as you conceive of what that something else is, you're it. Q: So the concept I have of my so-called good side, which I prefer to be, is not really what I want to be, otherwise I would be it? B: You are simply assuming that the concept itself, when you have it, is not being it; but it is. You are assuming that the concept of the good side -- to have the concept is not being it. But having the concept is being at the vibratory level of that good side; otherwise you wouldn't be able to conceive of it. Again, you have to be attuned to the program to hear it coming through the radio. So if you find that you have the ability to even conceive of what the so-called good side, or positive side is all about, you're at that moment tuned to that frequency -- or that notion could never have occurred to you. Q: But why does this tremendous interference keep coming inŠ B: Because you assume that when you conceive of it, it is not real. You assume that you have to do something special in order to make it real. Q: To stay on the station you mean. B: Yes. You are the one that is flipping the dial. When you have flipped the dial to the point where you can perceive what this so- called positive side is like, leave the dial there. Q: What if I'm sitting there, and suddenly a twinkie switches on. B: You're missing the point. The station that you will be tuned to does not advertise twinkies. So it will never occur to you -- the urge won't be there. Understand you are contradicting yourself. Q: Yes, all right. B: You're thinking that one being contains both of these urges. No. When you are the vibration of the positive side, you only contain what is relevant to that you. If you're finding yourselves experiencing the urges of the twinkie, you are no longer the other you. You are the you that can experience the urge of the twinkie. Q: Yes. How do you hold that? I find it difficult to hold that. B: That is your belief. To say -- this is the concept, understand this -- your statement, "I find it difficult to hold that," is a belief. So it is its own reality. So that is what you get: a reality in which you are a being that finds it difficult to hold a concept. Q: So you merely assume the viewpoint and...? B: Yes. Act like it. Assume that if you can conceive of it, at the moment of conception that is how you are born. You give birth to that being. And that is the only being that exists. Now understand: you may use the idea again that we have shared with some of you -- the library analogy. As an integrated being, you have the ability to be cognizantly aware of -- while still being the concept that you are -- of all the other probable realities that exist. You can have the definition, "My realty in what I am, and it contains the ability to be what I know myself to be -- while at the same time being aware of all of the other probable realities I know I am not." You follow me? Q: Yes. B: Therefore, the idea of the analogy is: you go into a library and you can read every book on the shelf; the one about twinkies, the one positive, and the one negative. Only the one you make the conscious choice to check out of the library becomes your reality. Otherwise it is not a matter of having to fight against the urge. You simply have the type of reality that says you can think about the idea that such a probable reality exists; but that's not the idea you are. You know the library is there, but you don't check out that book. Q: So the fixidity of the human condition, as I see it to be fixedŠ I see that most people areŠ B: What you consider to be the fix-edness is something that you believe to be real. That is the only reason you experience the human condition as fixed -- because of the definition that it is. You follow me? Q: But what isŠ at what point do we go off the rails though? B: Never. Q: ButŠ B: Never. Q: Let'sŠ B: Never, never, never! Q: Never. Okay. B: You are never off your path, because you are never on a path. A path is what you are! You can't be off yourself. You are not on a path; a path is what you are. You can't be off yourself. Everything you do -- everything, everything! -- is an opportunity to decide what you prefer. Everything! You can learn from everything. Every situation is fundamentally neutral. Your attitude towards the neutral situation will determine the effect that you create in your life. The idea that you can have an urge to eat a twinkie is a neutral situation. It does not come with any power other than what you put into it. It is simply a string of words, if you wish to look at it that way. You empower it -- you power it up. "Oh, yes. The concept of that -- that concept `twinkie' -- that creates urges that I cannot fight." You have just written the script and decided to act it out -- by imposing definitions into a fundamentally neutral series of props. Q: What is theŠ how does birth and death fit into this concept though? Let's say my next-door neighbor doesn't have this urge. B: So? Knowing that your next-door neighbor never has the urge is an indication for you of a reality that you can also choose for yourself. That may be why that neighbor is there reflecting that reality to you. Perhaps you are reflecting the same thing back: that he can choose to have an urge if he wants to. Q: They may make good neighborsŠ but I guess my question really is: has it anything to do with a particular lifetime? B: Only in the most general of senses -- certainly not with the degree of specificity of whether you eat a twinkie or not. Q: No, well that's a ridiculous example. But I just see people whoŠ B: It's not a ridiculous example. But in this way, simply the overall idea of any predestination is only expressed in physical life in the most general of terms. In other words, let us say, the idea of what you are discussing falls under the general category that you are predestined to explore self-empowerment, and the creation of what you prefer. Q: I see. B: So you are using twinkies as your prop. Somebody else will use alcohol, somebody else will use drugs, somebody else will useŠ Q: Ice cream! B: Š ice cream. Q: Do you have dual persona yourselves? Dual personalities? Do youŠ B: Because we have a degree of physical manifestation, then by definition we do express that portion of ourselves in some polarity. But in this way, it is a type of polarity that recognizes the validity of each other's side, and so functions as a balanced unit. Q: So as you go up the scale, you checkŠ you lose polarity. B: In a sense, yes. Polarity is only a third-density, fourth-density perspective of a wholeness that exists. Q: I see. Okay. So you're saying that individuals in the third or fourth density that have that experience of polarity... they're experiencing positive and negative as if they were two sides of a coin? B: Yes. Q: But as we move on to theŠ B: You only experience the coin, the idea of the oneness of the coin, and do not so much see it as two sides. But recognize that you need the whole coin in order to buy your twinkie. Q: Both the positive and the negative are in harmony. B: Yes. Blended into one concept. Male/female: one thing. A soul is not both male and female; it is neither. It is one thing. It can express itself in that polarity in physical reality, but it is not that it becomes a blended thing separated. The male/female polarities simply only exist from a physiological reference point of view, and do not exist within the combined soul. The soul to itself is one thing -- neither male nor female. One thing. You follow me? Q: So you're saying that neither negative nor positiveŠ B: The concept of negative and positive polarity is one of the defining terms of physical reality. It only comes into existence as physical reality does -- or as different levels that contain that idea -- come into existence. The idea of the unbroken oneness is not so much literally that it contains an actual side by side cohesive interaction with the polarities you experience; it is simply one thing that can create itself to become different things. For there are many different universes that express the unbroken wholeness of the soul when it chooses to differentiate itself in many other ways other than the idea of simply positive and negative polarity. Q: Like what? AUD: Yes. B: This will really have no frame of reference for you; it almost does not have a frame of reference for us. Sharing! Q2: There is something I want to discuss with you. But also it's break time. So could we take a break and I'll discuss it with you after the break? B: All right! You may all take a short break. Q: Thank you.
