Can Polarization Help Us?

The polarization between people is crazy lately. In my whole life as a Gen. Xer, I have never seen anything like it. Us vs. them. Me vs. him. Freedom vs. safety. Mask vs. no mask. And so on and so on. And 2020 has been so strange, I wouldn’t be surprised if the seas part in opposite directions at some point too.

As a student of the universe, I have done a lot of wondering about this. Could polarization actually be helping us in some way? Could it have a higher purpose? I think we live in a truly benevolent universe and things are here to serve us. So how can something as seemingly destructive as polarization bring us to a better place?

You may have heard that Earth is moving from 3rd Dimensional to 5th Dimensional consciousness (to a state of multi-dimensionality). If you haven’t heard about this, you are probably wondering what the heck I am talking about. This is a huge topic, but to give you the gist--just as people strive to grow and improve, Gaia is growing too. And she is doing this at an accelerated rate, which means we are moving from the strong duality of 3D into higher states of being and unity at 5D, though it will take a number of years. This means living in a higher vibratory frequency, where some of the insufferable agony of Earth just can’t exist anymore. It means that instead of having to really focus and practice getting in touch with your higher self and your higher knowing and intuition, you will be able to do so much more readily because you will be embodying your higher self. 5D means higher consciousness, freedom, openness, wisdom, love and unity.

You may be thinking, “What a big jump from 3D to 5D. How do we possibly make that kind of leap?” There may be many factors, and it will likely take decades, but I think that polarization is actually a component of it.

How does this work on a practical level? So let’s say someone you know, a family member or a friend you bump into at the supermarket, starts ranting about current events and you disagree with them completely. It may be hard for you to bite your tongue (though easier to hide your annoyed expression behind your mask, LOL). As you hear what they say and feel invaded by their opinions, you amplify your desire like never before for what it is that you do want. Whether they talk about COVID, politics, lockdowns or more, your desires (whatever they are) are at an all time high.

As they talk, you internally expand with even greater knowing of who you are at a soul level and what you want. Some of these desires may include truth, freedom, safety, unity, love and kindness. At the same time--these are qualities of 5th Dimensional consciousness! Imagine that. Without the “helpful” prodding of your friend or family member, you may not be moving in those directions internally, the direction of Earth’s expansion.

At the same time, this expansion is happening at a greater level than we have ever seen before. Think of it--we have people on opposite ends of the spectrum with desires and knowing awakened at the highest levels possible. The fact that the polarization feels so wide only allows for even greater expansion! To use the analogy of a bow and arrow, the arrow is pulled so far back so that we can soar like never before once it’s set free.

Not only is it helping us to expand, it is helping us to heal old wounds. How? Perhaps the universe is delivering people who trigger you so much so you can finally process those blocks within you around how you handle conflict, anger, fear and more. Perhaps the “subject” does not matter as much as the healing you do around being triggered. Can you breathe deeply through the interaction and just observe? Can you speak your truth from your heart center instead of from the emotional center or the ego? Can you remain neutral? Can you forgive them? Can you let them be with their own beliefs without the need to make them change? If not, have you always felt you had to change people? Why?

So perhaps that person who tests you is “God in drag,” to quote Ram Dass, stimulating you to become the best version of yourself by awakening within you the qualities of 5D consciousness and helping you to heal old wounds around conflict, anger, fear and more.

This election week, we especially have the opportunity to breathe, witness, forgive and choose peaceful reactions that come from our healed selves.
