Polarity
Last week in the grocery store I couldn't help overhearing a loud
discussion two women were having about politics. I guess this is true
in other places also, but folks here in Wyoming love to discuss
politics. Or, more accurately, argue about politics. Anyway, one woman was describing to the other a heated political
argument she'd recently had with someone. She said she ended the
argument by hurling out what I guess she intended to be an insult:
"You liberals are all alike!" John Cali Anyone with any common sense knows such blanket statements are almost
always grossly inaccurate at best and inflammatorily hateful at worst.
Yet we hear them often. For example: "All Republicans are right-wing wackos." (If you're a Democrat.) "All Democrats are left-wing wackos." (If you're a Republican.) "All Germans in World War 2 were Nazis." (If you weren't German.) "All Muslims today are terrorists." (If you're not Muslim.) "All Protestants are going to hell." (If you're Catholic.) "All Catholics think they're the only ones going to heaven." (If
you're Protestant.) And on and on ad nauseam. Those attitudes only separate us further instead of uniting us. While everyone is free to say whatever he or she wants, this brand of
polarity contributes to the wounding of the world and does nothing to
promote the peace we all say we want. Here's Chief Joseph.
Chief Joseph
As John said, you all -- or most of you -- say you want world peace.
We do not doubt you sincerely do want peace on earth. But, from our
perspective, what many of you want is conditional peace. That is,
peace on your terms, not anyone else's. Herein lies the challenge for most humans. And it doesn't matter
whether we're talking about peace between two individuals, two
countries, two groups, or among all peoples on the planet. Each of you, individually and en masse, often think your path to peace
is the only path. Yet that is so contradictory to what real peace is. Real peace,
friends, is total acceptance and unconditional love for all with whom
you share your lives, all with whom you share your planet. To approach others (individuals, nations, ethnic groups, religions,
etc.) different from you with hatred and hostility will never produce
peace on earth. Yet this is what we see you often doing with your brothers and
sisters. You are polarizing the planet, not unifying it. Only in abandoning
polarity will you ever find peace. You abandon polarity first by remembering how to love yourselves
unconditionally. Abandon the polarity within yourselves. Each of you
individually have divided yourselves into "good" and "bad" parts. You
pit those parts against one another. For example, you talk about your
egos and your higher selves as if they are separate, polarized. They are not. You talk about other humans, other countries, other religions, etc.,
as if they are separate, polarized. They are not. See the oneness in yourselves. See the oneness in all humans. See the
oneness in all that is. Only then will polarity and separation wither and die. Only then will
peace and love thrive and live. =========================================================
Since 1992, John Cali has been communicating with a non-physical
entity called Joseph. In one of his many physical lifetimes, this spirit
was incarnated as the legendary Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe
in what is now the state of Oregon in the northwestern USA. These
messages are a blend of information from Joseph, other spirits in the
"Joseph group," and John.
