When I hear myself treating negative energy like a poison or a misbehaving monkey, I make it just that.
If you could
separate positive energy
from negative energy,
you wouldn’t be able to
tell one from the other.
One simply moves one way,
while the other moves opposite.
There is no difference.
You perceive
positive and negative energy
as two vastly different energies,
yet they are not.
You impose “bad” on negative
and “good” on positive.
And so it seems true in your relative reality.
But you are ALWAYS a loving cooperation
between positive and negative energies.
Point zero is the perfect balance.
Yet you keep dissing negative energy.
You think of your higher states
as all positive, all the time.
Which is why you never seem
to attain them for very long.\
Is it time for you to reimagine
positive and negative?

Harmonizing the Spectrum of Energy
In the infinite expanse of consciousness, where the fabric of reality is woven from the threads of countless perceptions, a profound question arises: Is it indeed time for us to reimagine the essence of positive and negative energies? This inquiry beckons us to peel away the layers of conditioned thought, to explore the depths of our understanding, and to embrace a more holistic view of the energetic dance that animates the cosmos.
The Illusion of Separation
The notion that negative energy acts as a poison or a misbehaving monkey is a creation of our own minds, a narrative spun from the threads of societal conditioning and personal biases. By attributing value judgments to the flow of energy—labeling one as “bad” and the other as “good”—we solidify the illusion of separation, overlooking the fundamental unity that underlies all existence.
The Nature of Energy Movement
Energy, in its purest form, is neutral. It is the motion, the dynamic flow that characterizes its essence—one aspect moving in one direction, the other in the opposite. This binary dance is not a matter of difference but of balance, a cosmic ballet that maintains the equilibrium of the universe. The distinction between positive and negative energies is, therefore, not inherent in the energies themselves but imposed by the lens through which we view them.
Redefining Positive and Negative
The perception of positive and negative as diametrically opposed forces obscures the truth that they are but two sides of the same coin. In every moment, we exist as a manifestation of the loving cooperation between these energies. Point zero, the state of perfect balance, is not a destination to be reached but a recognition of our inherent wholeness.
The Myth of Perpetual Positivity
The aspiration towards a state of unending positivity, a realm devoid of negative energy, is a mirage. It is a pursuit that misunderstands the nature of existence and the purpose of our journey through it. Our highest states of being are not those in which we deny or suppress one aspect of our energy but those in which we embrace the full spectrum, recognizing the beauty and necessity of both light and shadow.
The Invitation to Reimagine
Thus, the invitation to reimagine positive and negative is not merely a philosophical exercise but a call to action. It challenges us to transcend the dualistic thinking that has long governed our approach to life and to adopt a more integrated perspective. In doing so, we open ourselves to a richer, more nuanced understanding of the universe and our place within it.

Summary
We are invited to reconsider our perceptions of positive and negative energies, recognizing them not as separate entities but as interconnected aspects of a single, dynamic flow. This reimagining encourages us to move beyond dualistic judgments and to embrace the wholeness of our existence, finding balance and harmony in the loving cooperation between these energies. By doing so, we can unlock a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the cosmic dance.

“Beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” – Jalaluddin Rumi
In the grand whimsiword of our shared journey, where every step is an opportunity for discovery, the call to reimagine positive and negative energies is a beacon of transformation. It invites us to shed the shackles of outdated perceptions, to embrace the infinite complexity of the universe, and to find peace in the embrace of our true nature.
Let us then step boldly into this field beyond right and wrong, where the light of understanding illuminates the path to unity and wholeness. In this sacred space, we discover not only the true essence of positive and negative but also the boundless potential of our own spirits.
We welcome reflections on this journey towards a deeper understanding of the energetic tapestry that weaves together the cosmos.
