We all exist in a world and a body and mind filled with opposites, one minute we experience happiness and the next anger and despair. Principle of polarity is the cause of that because it pushes for opposites to balance each other.
What is it?
States that everything has an opposite, similar to Enantiodromia except that Enantiodromia is more about something eventually turning into it's opposite. It says that although two things, such as (in this case, for this website) insane and sane, fat and lean,beautiful/handsome and ugly are seen as opposite each other they come from the same concept. The principle of polarity states that even though two things may seen as though they are complete opposite of each other, such as love and hate, they are working together to bring unity. Opposites are on the same vibration as each other, just on different sides of the spectrum which is why we need to stop fearing our bodies and minds no matter what state they are in.
How does it relate?
Beautiful and ugly are both related to looks, fat and lean are both related to body size, insane and sane are both related to our mental state. There is no reason to want to banish "negative," or "positive" feelings because we need both to balance the other one out. Law of polarity states that since opposites are on the same vibration, we can not point exactly where one begins and one ends. Negativity can teach us about positivity and even negative people have positive aspects to them. Psychopaths make great surgeons and lawyers, while an empath may want to stay clear of stressful situations where they may need to make a life damaging decision as a surgeon may need to face.
Mental States
For every high we must have a low therefore when we are sad we must remember we will become happy again. However, this is also true for when we are happy, we will experience sadness as well.
For some of us, this is one extreme to another than we experience all of the time. Understand that it is the law of polarity and the universe shifts you back and forth because it is one of the laws of the universe that everything must be balanced. We may want to stop feeling a certain emotion in favor of another "positive" emotions but remind yourself it will eventually happen on its own and those two emotions share the same vibrations as each other. Some of us just are more in tune with the ourselves and the universe so we experience it more dramatically. Moreso, we are not taught how to allow ourselves to experience these shifts within ourselves that is the cause of the universe's need for balance. We are taught we must fight our "negative" emotions and see them as "bad" or be ashamed of them or try to fix them because we are taught there is something wrong with us. Instead, allow yourself to be manic, or depressed instead of attempting to fight it because then your emotions and feelings will come out eventually but will be more extreme which can lead to harmful situations.
*Reminder to stay within reason and if you need to, divert feelings into a healthier way. If you want to fight, join a boxing team, release feelings and needs in the form of artwork, videos for youtube,songs, writings.etc.
Eating
We eat because we are hungry and in doing so we feel satisfied. We will remain hungry, even if we eat food, if we are not satisfied and if it does not provide us with fullness. This is why eating a banana when you are hungry for ice cream will not work because you are not giving yourself the food to fulfill yourself. You will remain hungry until you eat what your body is telling you to eat so you can relive yourself of hunger. If you don't listen to your body's cravings and hunger correctly by substituting foods, or denying yourself food because of calories, fat content,etc. you will not be practicing the law of polarity as you will not be able to fulfill yourself. Only by satisfying yourself with the food your body is telling you to eat will you become the opposite of hungry. This is why diets do not work, they do not fulfill the body will fulfillment, only a false sense of achieving weight loss by substituting foods our body wants, craves and is telling you it needs with foods it doesn't.
(Self) love & (Self) hate
If love and hate are opposites, one can not exist without the other therefore, we must have one without the other. without hating ourselves we can not experience self love, and love for others as well this is why we must allow ourselves to hate others, but understand we will love them again, so don't make any decisions in the moment. We all have moments of self-hatred but we should not act upon them, if you think you are too fat, or too ugly don't try to change yourself. Allow yourself to feel hatred, but know that self-love will come soon as well. If we attempt to change as soon as we experience self-hatred we won't be able to experience the laws of polarity in a natural way, and we must allow ourselves to experience some self-hatred sometimes because it will balance out self-love and vice versa. If we continuously try to change ourselves at any moment of self-hatred it will never end because we are not allowing ourselves to experience the opposite of self-love. We just want to fix it instead of allowing ourselves to experience it and go through it to get to the other side.
