Does the “dead” log have less energy than the growing seedling?
Are they separate? Inherently positive or negative?
Yet on our relative plane, one is “dying” and one is newly born!

Floating Nonduality: continued. From 95.02.09 p.c. Barbara and Karen
Aaron: I believe contraction or non-contraction of energy is the best basis for determining positive or negative polarity. No being is totally positively- or negatively-polarized, so we do not have a totally contracted or open energy field. Relative bias toward positivity or negativity may be measured by the degree of contraction.
Remember that negative polarity is a distortion of positive polarity. For a simple image, liquid will flow smoothly through the uncongested pipe. The pipe that is clogged with debris reminds one of a contracted state, yet no matter how clogged the pipe is, it has the potential to open. The water pushes against that congestion just as light touches darkness, asking it to open, receive and share. Openness is the true nature of the pipe or of any vehicle. It is the true nature of the soul.
What is the perfectly polished and clean pipe? Can it reach a stage where it cannot get cleaner? Would one polish away all the material of the pipe itself? Then what would shape the water’s flow? We are always moving toward perfect positive polarity, which state is perhaps reached in eighth density but I do not know this for certain.

A bit of vacation time this week with a friend visiting. Here are 2 photos that speak to me. No duality anywhere!

Odo at 5627 feet (Nelson’s Peak, from Mike) Mt Washington peak in right background, 6288 feet. This 17 lb Jack Russell Terrier, a rescue Mike adopted last spring, has bagged more peaks than most humans I know, following Mike with love, and is all heart! What if we were all so doubt-free?
