Can You, and Should You, Avoid the Negative? 

Please check out the previous related stories in the Forum – “Attraction”, in the Questions section; “Express Awareness”, “Evolving Soul”, “After Death” and “HERE and THERE”, in the Life section. Feel free to add your comments and questions there.

Have you ever thought that it would be great if you could only remove all the negative people from your life? Avoid all the negative news and bad situations. Just have the Positive things. Wouldn’t that be better for everyone? It sounds like it, doesn’t it?

How would that work with the Law of Attraction and the Energy that we live in?

I’ve drawn some diagrams to try to help us see what is (might be) going on. The first one is the ideal situation. Think back to the Magnets in the “Attraction” story in the Forum. This shows that we have a vertical component that has its energy field with positive at the top and negative at the bottom. We also have a horizontal component, positive to the right and negative to the left. Where they CROSS is where YOU are, in the centre. When you use the centre and the cross to create a circle, you become the centre of both cross and circle. (Remember, this is all Symbology, but works really for me)

 

This would be the “target” situation. If you were able to line up all your energies and influences with the Unified Field, it could be represented like this and you would have immense power (magnetism).

A more realist representation of a well-adjusted aware person might look like our next image. Mostly there are positive symbols towards the top right and negative towards the bottom left, with some out-of-place. This is much better than the completely random option that exhibits no magnetism, or having all the symbols reversed and becoming rather “repulsive” J

What happens when another person approaches? We have an example that looks very similar to the first. The circle is smaller, it has less symbols and a couple are positioned differently.

They can co-exist very close to each other, with their field of energy overlapping. They have many things in common and the things that differ are not clashing much. If these two people stay together for a length of time they will become even more alike – or not. If not, they will tend to separate again.

To return to the question about getting away from negative influences. Let’s take another look at the “ideal” case and try to do what many people think they want to do – cut away the negative chunk. What? Sorry? That’s not what you want to do? You want to “move away, move to the top/right, encompass more of the positive, focus in that area and ignore the bottom left. After all, “what you focus on grows”.

Very good point – hit the guy with his own sayings! I like that.

Just for the sake of completeness, and because there is someone out there that would cut this negative influence away if they could – let’s take a look there. Remember the magnets (again). If you cut the magnet in half, you get two magnets that are identical in nature. The negative half now has its own positive side and the positive now has its negative side. And, the two halves are attracted back toward each other. You can’t loose your negative side, it’s part of who you are. That means, it’s part of who everyone is, everything is. It’s not bad, it’s negative energy – relatively.

The diagram shows that you make the cut (tell your negative friend to get lost and sort themselves out). What happens? You become smaller, you have less energy and some of the positive parts of you become negative. You now have a positive imbalance inside your field. You think that’s great, it will move you toward more positive people. Sorry, that would be nice, but, your imbalance moves your centre toward the shortage. You have to become rebalanced so, the positive influences in the top/right move away and your centre moves further left and down. You resettle in a tighter circle with less symbols and further down the scale.

Are you sure John? I don’t really want to surround myself with negative people and situations. If we can’t avoid them, what should we do? (Remember, don’t believe a word anybody says, think about it.)

Let me see if these following statements relate to this situation:

I want to grow in Consciousness and Spiritual Awareness.

I am One with All Life.

I Love everyone and everything.

I want to help.

You want to grow, and to do this, you would like to surround yourself with people that are more enlightened and aware than you are. This is normal. If you want to learn to play guitar, it’s best if you associate with a good guitar teacher. However, there is another saying – “Teach what you want to Learn”, or “Give what you want to Receive”. You find someone that is less capable than you and you help them. When you do this, you set up an imbalance in your field. It might look like an association with a “negative” energy, someone that lacks what you have, but there are no negative associations.

As you help others, you add them to your circle, which gets bigger. As it gets bigger, more positive energy pours in at the top. You can focus on the top positive side if you like, but you can’t avoid the negative appearing on the opposite side of the circle. You have to learn to embrace both – they are all YOU.

Remember this - if you seek a good quality guitar teacher to help You, what do You look like to him? 

There are 2 major goals (yes, you have goals, I know you don't like the idea).

1. Expand your Circle
2. Move the Centre of your Circle in the direction of the top/right quadrant

In the next Article, I’ll talk more about these circles, crosses, colours and symbols.

Happy Helping ...
