Overwhelming Negativity
Overwhelming negativity is due to a closed mind. The meaning of the word ‘negative’ is denial. This can become a cultural meme through the propaganda machine that sees to it that we stay trapped in the illusion of negativity. It’s an illusion, because negativity closes a natural, open mind of clarity.
Negativity creates a cultural dis-ease of living in an illusion of ever-changing ideas and concepts.
The very moment when we recognise this dis-ease, the mind opens to pure consciousness
– but just for that moment.
To stay focused and open, and be able to reason for ourselves, we need personal discipline of non-reaction, patience to allow space to occur and morality of knowing what is truly natural.
The more we notice our negativity, the more positive and naturally open-minded we become.
It stands to reason – it’s obvious.
Can we be overwhelmingly positive?
Being over-positive is having an obsession with ‘positive’ thinking, which becomes toxic when people put a spin on all experiences, in the belief that problems can be solved by dismissing negative emotions and focusing on the positive. This is just an antidote – a temporary measure – as negativity will return.
In truth, this is a negative approach as there is denial that the negative is present. In separating the extremes of positive and the negative, we will never see them as a unity.
In realising the connection between positive and negative,
we don’t become overwhelmed:
we see them as inseparable,
like dark and light or a mirror and its reflections.
Appearances and recognition are simultaneous.
