Divine Dichotomy

Q: If for every ‘good’ there is a ‘bad’ & if all things have a ‘balance,’ then is it fair to say that for every good i should expect a bad in order to maintain balance?
And if that is true then ultimately does everything become neutral?
A: It is true that in life there is a “balance” but looking at it as good vs. bad can get confusing.
Good & Bad are merely different perceptions of what could be the same situation. In spirituality we call this
Divine Dichotomy.
Neal Walsh writes about this extensively in Conversations With God. I suggest reading it to know more.
Mr. Walsh describes Divine Dichotomy as:
“two apparently contradictory truths can exist in the same space at the same time.”
In more common terms, “one man’s tragedy is another man’s miracle.”
We come to earth to EXPERIENCE…not to “learn” for in experiencing learning is automatic.
As far as your soul is concerned ALL experience is a miracle regardless of how unpleasant the ‘feeling’ that comes
with that experience is. As a matter of fact the “bad” stuff we may write into our life’s story is what your soul is most grateful for.
A Master knows this, so when catastrophe comes, a Master is un-phased by it where an average person would be devastated.
When I was in discernment I struggled with this concept….it seemed as though the universe was saying
“if your happy don’t feel happy, and if your sad, don’t be sad” but then what do you feel?
You feel it all! We all want joy but are afraid of hate…we all want happy but are afraid of sad.
The truth is, there is only one emotion PERIOD…only one…
that is love… love is a BIG frequency…THE frequency…..with a huge spectrum of frequencies inside it.
So love, fear, hate, bliss are all small bits of the same MASTER frequency-LOVE. A master is in a constant state of “balance”
–meaning is fully present in the MASTER frequency at ALL TIMES—therefore by-passing the annoying “bit frequency” in between.
Perspective:
Think of your emotions as a pendulum swinging back & forth. One direction is extreme overwhelming joy….the other side
extreme overwhelming pain. If you are much like this, with extreme up’s & downs you are far from a Master state.
It’s a sign that you are out of perspective with the reality of the illusion of this all.
Yes these experiences we are having in this life are real….the tragedies are real & they hurt….there is no denying that….
but the “bad” of that is an illusion…its our perspective that makes a thing bad…or even good.
We are eternal infinite beings that stretch out much farther than just the person you are in this time & space/dimension.
Therefore any experience is minute compared to your infinite wisdom & being & therefore nothing can shake you.
The Master is still. Also, negative energy only creates more negative experience—
better to be positive right away so as not to create more pain.

A personal example: My 79 year old Nonna (grandma) who raised me and is someone I truly cherish in this world just got diagnosed with breast cancer.
As soon as I read the words (got the news over email) my heart sunk at the thought of her being afraid & in pain and then almost
immediately that feeling was replaced by this rush of understanding…
I instantly & completely understood how her beliefs caused the cancer and why it hit her breast…
the opportunity of the clarity of vision she has to heal these issues now, made me happy for her.
Most people die never figuring this stuff out, but her body was kind enough
to give her a warning, so she can clean her spiritual closet before moving on. What an opportunity!
It would mean that her next life would be free of the ego-drama plagues she has suffered in this life.
Then I realized that my physical distance, our schedules and many of her guilt and fear ridden religious beliefs keep us
from connecting like we used to. Up until I was labeled “psychic” her and I were glued to the hip…
I have been sharing my visions with her since I could speak, and for much of my life she was my
only witness/confidant and spiritual protector. When I became an adult and people started to “find me out” she loved it!
Especially when that led me to wanting to be a nun.
A few years later when I realized that the catholic church was merely the front foyer of the ‘god’ experience for me & I began
to embrace all religions, it devastated her.
Then when people started to seek me out this time with the label “psychic” with no religion… it enraged her.
“Saint” yes—“Psychic” no …that’s my nonna! Personally speaking, “psychic” puts W-A-Y less pressure on me
and is just another cloak…i am daughter, i am woman, i am wife, i am psychic, i am artist, i am writer, i am a defender of children,
i am clumsy, i am…am…i am….
I realize that if she died, she’d see past all that crap & we can go back to the way we were prior to me leaving the church.
There would be no physical distance between us as she could appear any time she chooses,
we could spend more time together then we do now. She’s decided to have surgery and fight it…her call…
either way is fine by me. I’m neither happy or sad cause either way there are pro/cons so it all equals out in the wash…
I’m unmoved. Some can consider that unfeeling…
like I should be crying for days cause my nonna might die….but I UNDERSTAND what that TRULY means….so how could I cry?
I am still….
if she fights this thing and lives, I can be happy that she lives….if she chooses to die, then she lives in spirit, we can hang out
whenever she chooses to appear…so to me she’s alive either way. It’s the same.
It inspires me to elevate my frequency so that if she does die I can tap into her easier or if she lives I can send
her more potent distant healing. It’s all good. No matter the outcome-it inspires me to be better.
Its not that you walk around not feeling….its that you walk around in full understanding and therefore there is this sweet calm
that permeates every emotion your in….
what you are feeling is what you are feeling and its small compared to what you are understanding about
the bigger picture (in the Master frequency)
and so you are calm & chipper & inspired….no matter what’s happening….

it’s a calm chipper kind of vibe when the pendulum is still.
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
