Balancing Positive and Negative Energies

I just scanned through some of the news blogs I try to follow.  You know what I found!  The failed Christmas Terrorism Attack, Police close N.Y. School after ..., parents killing children, children killing parents, new fronts in the Global War On Terrorism, just to start a short list.  It is enough to make even the perpetual optimist frown.  As I thought about the Headlines and the message in the Handbook about what is coming (the Oku Enia), my mind drifted to the message that runs like a thread through so many of the sacred teachings of the world.  The Holy Qur'an states that humans are born into toil and struggle in this world and that it is a place of trial.  The Buddha stated that this world is a place of suffering because of the attachments we form with things that are not permanent.  The Bible paints the picture of a demonic force that starts out as a serpent in the Garden and ends up as a Dragon that seeks to consume this world by influencing human choices.  Maybe we really should not be so surprised to see so much suffering in this world.  From a scientific perspective we know that the positive and negative do co-exist in the universe, and they are interrelated, interconnected, and interdependent.  What should concern us is the degree of negative energy as compared with the degree or amount of positive energy that we see manifest in our world.  The direction of things.  Are people getting healthier, wiser, more stable and productive?  Is life robust?  Or are we experiencing increased negative energies in our everyday lives?  Are you feeling more optimistic or more pessimistic as the days go by?

The Quantum Sociological Perspective that the Mysterious Dr. M. presents in the Handbook is a key to understanding how you and I can and do participate (wittingly and unwittingly) in shifting the balance between positive and negative energies and thereby creating cracks or sealing the cracks through which Negative Unpredictable Consequences can come into our lives.  Some negative consequences are predictable.  If you stick your hand on a hot plate, you will be burned.  But there are also Negative Unpredictable Consequences.  The experiences of sickness, loss, tragedy, obstacles, unforeseen evils, being overwhelmed, and death that can force their way into your life like a sudden and unanticipated wind.

What Dr. M. is pointing out in the message about Creating Peaceful Space is that the more you witness the manifestation of negative energies in your world, the more important it is for you to strive to Create Peaceful Space as a counterbalancing force.  It is all about energies!  Did you get this?
