The term 'polarity' has been mentioned several times and I kind of think this reaching for self-acceptance requires you to hike to your darker pole.
To some extent, I find that there is two of 'me' hovering around. My darling ego is still apt to throw a hissy fit from time to time - but there's another 'me' that is getting the knack of detaching, standing and watching and questioning what the hissy fit is all about
It sure is a long journey |
Yea, and this is what is happening on a global plane now. A great cleansing process. Many people resist it though, and most are unaware of it alltogether. All of the negativity will surface to be processed out. This happens naturally if allowed. By facing darkness/ignorance you transmute it into Light and understanding. It is the only way and it often seems like a long journey (so why bother is what many people think). But what else is there to do really? Live an inauthentic life aliented from who you really are and want to be? I think not. The Grace of God is such that you can be suddenly released after years of struggling that seemingly lead you nowhere. Eckhart Tolle is a perfect example of that as he was on the verge of suicide when he suddenly was released.
I am currently working on my master thesis in Comparative Literature writing about
Hamlet (they actually pay you to study in this country
). The Prince of Denmark is a perfect example of how this cleansing process works. He is driven to the verge of insanity and suicide by the catalyst of the "revenge mission" his massive warrior father figure and "social convention/conditioning" tries to push upon him. In the end he is suddenly "released" and returns from the sea in the last Act as a totally transformed being. This is the "hidden meaning" Shakespeare (in reality the freemason Sir Francis Bacon who calibrated in the higher 400s) tries to convey in his masterpiece. It sort of covertly depicts
real spirituality and evolution in action without ever stating it explicitly (probably would have led to prosecution at that time).
Hamlet more or less saved my life (at least he was my only comfort when the times were rough because at least he would adress something that felt
real. I also loved his very dark and morbid sense of humor. Still do.). Now I am simply "paying back my due" by bringing greater understanding to this masterpiece. The cleansing process in the end of the play where almost everyone dies is probably Shakespeares/Bacons way of giving a subtle "warning" to what an inauthentic life eventually brings and to the nature of the "cycle". The great irony is that all the characters in the play (except Hamlet) dies as a direct result of their own futile attempts to escape from their own mortality...
