You’re Here Because You’re Ready to Alchemize Polarity

Me:  My masculine won’t engage.  Wont’ get in the fight.

Higher Mind (HM):  Okay.  We allow this.  Let it be okay.

Me:  It doesn’t feel okay, I want it to change.

HM:  That’s the quickest way to keep it the same.

Me:  How do you mean? 

HM:  Resistance ensures polarity.  Polarity ensures you oppose it.  Anything you oppose you will be fighting against, by definition.

Me:  Makes sense.  So I befriend it?

HM:  Y’all don’t have to be best friends.  But remember – and this is key in ANY feeling, situation, or circumstance you think you want to change – whatever you resist has value.

Me:  It has value?

HM:  It has value.  Or else you wouldn’t be perceiving it.  One effective way to “befriend” it is to simply ask what it’s here to teach you… what ‘value’ it has for you.  In this way, it feels welcome because you are now engaged.

Me:  I see.

HM:  Always remember:  you are in relationship to all things.  If you shun, ignore, resent, or find inconvenience in something, Infinite Intelligence returns it back to you.

Me:  Okay why are you telling me this; why would I care about that?

HM:  Because as you make the choice to embody this as a way of life, every negative emotion loses its charge.

Me:  Whoa, how so?

HM:  Nothing feels unwelcome around you.  Replace your resistance with curiosity.

Me:  Curiosity?

HM:  Curiosity is the cure-all.

Me:  How so?

HM:  You cannot be in resistance to something you are curious about.  And when you understand that that which you resist has value for you, suddenly you are curious about everything around you, especially the things that are cause for pause.

Me:  Cause for pause?

HM:  Our clever way of saying something you feel that you might not accept right away… something you resist.  Think of it this way:  there is “Team Joshua”.  This is an exclusive club.  And Joshua has a number of doorways to his club because it’s such a big club.  And each door has a bouncer standing guard.  These bouncers are coded with Joshua’s instructions for who to let in.  The ‘people’ in this scenario could be feelings, emotions, experiences… and quite often they show up as, you guessed it, other people!  More particularly, other people’s actions.  So Joshua has his body guard check these emotions, feelings, or people at the door.  Each one of these people are teachers.  Because they NEED to get inside for Joshua to experience an expansion of his soul – sort of like a soul remembering (more on that another time).

Me:  I get it.  I’d like to give my bouncers new instructions.

HM:  We like this.  Keep going…

Me:  We’d like to tell the bouncers that first of all, they’re doing a great job with the instructions I previously gave them.  However, moving forward, I want them to treat every person that comes to their doors with love and respect.  And if they seem kooky or off in any way, I’d like them to bring me in for a little dialogue.

HM:  This is done.  Your bouncers are hearing you now.

Me:  Good. 

HM:  And what will you be dialoguing with them about?

Me:  I will ask them first to identify themselves.  And then I will ask them why they are here.  Other examples of the same question would be, what are they here to show me.  What is their value (or what is the value of how I feel about them).  And any other information they have to share with me.  I’d like them to have an open door to give the unique information they carry.  Each one will be different.  I want to hear from them all.  I want full expansion in this club – full responsible expansion.

HM:  Why is the responsible part important?

Me:  Because we have boundaries.  This club is for everyone.  But the code to get in is to share the knowledge and wisdom they have that will make Club Joshua more whole.

HM:  Yes.  And they can only share if they are first asked.

Me:  Ah yes, that is huge.  All I need to do is ask.

HM:  What do you really want to get out of all this?

Me:  I just don’t want to feel stuck, or blocked, or like I don’t know, or like I can’t

HM:  What is your perspective after this dialogue today?

Me:  It’s never been easier to move the energy around once I get started.  The key for me is to fully engage with the energy as if it can speak and WANTS TO SPEAK.

HM:  Wants to speak?

Me:  Yes, I have had this feeling… perhaps not that I am blocked, but that it keeps things from me.

HM:  Go on…

Me:  But now I can see it actually wants to speak.  It actually wants to tell me things.  Every time.  It’s here to help me.  It WANTS to help me.  

HM:  …and…

Me:  And all I have to do is ask.  In fact, this is required.  And this is what I haven’t done a good job doing.  But the more I ask, the better I get at formulating the questions.  Better questions = better answers.

HM:  So what happens the next time you feel down, low, sad, angry, or resentful and it’s covered up by this wishy-washy-ness, this ambiguous cloud, this indistinct fuzzy feeling, and you don’t want to engage?

Me:  I ask it to identify itself.  I just ‘get in the fight’.  Not a good use of words – I know… that’s how it feels though when I start.  I don’t want to fight.  

HM:  Yes!  Do you realize what you just figured out?

Me:  Oh wow, I almost missed it.  Yea!  That’s what it is!  I don’t want to fight.  And it feels like a fight.  

HM:  Now how has your perspective changed?  

Me:  All I need to do is ask, and then suddenly, we’re not fighting.  We are dialoguing.  I ask.

HM:  And then wait for an answer

Me:  Yes, can’t forget that part

HM:  This is so important.  Any question you ask will get answered.  You might not like the answer, but it will get answered.  Remember this.  Do not forget about the space.

Me:  Well, then the rest is easy; the dialogue writes itself

HM:  And so it is

Me:  Thank you!
