Neutrality doesn’t require people to not have opinions, to be indifferent, or to not be energetically involved in issues
This is a very good time to reflect on neutrality, what it is and isn’t and how to develop and apply it in our daily lives. In our recent study group meeting we discussed this article and Anthony suggested that we open the discussion to blog members, a very good idea indeed.
We can consider also that the spiritual teaching and this element of it comes to us from Billy Meier, a man who lives in Switzerland, often referred to as the country of neutrality, although that has been eroded over the years, largely unnoticed by many Swiss.
Neutrality doesn’t require people to not have opinions, to be indifferent or to not be energetically involved in issues, etc. A good example is to watch Meier discuss some of the most intense issues and dangers of our time, as he does in The Spiritual Teaching in Everyday Life, and videos on my channel.
To see things as they actually are, unfiltered by political, religious or social beliefs, and influences, etc., we benefit from being in a neutral frame of mind. To decide what to do about things in the clearest, most effective way also requires that we maintain that neutrality. As you’ll see from the article there are many aspects to this.
Applying neutrality to analyzing ourselves is essential. That requires complete self-honesty as an integral part of the process. Semjase expressed it in the Introduction to the Spiritual Teaching:
97. Therefore a self analysis, in detail, is one of the most essential methods to human beings, in order to find the truth and to walk the path of the consciousness-related and spiritual evolution.
98. Therefore, it is necessary that the human being, without interruption, checks his/her thoughts and sees of what kind they really are.
A helpful tool for doing this is the Consciousness Awareness Workshop that Meier recommended that I teach after each live presentation, which unfortunately was rarely possible. This type of process helps one to stay focused as they progress in a stepwise matter through issues using neutral positive thinking, self-analysis, etc. I sometimes call it emotional T’ai Chi because the “opponent” is within us, not an external one. (For external opponents, things like this seminar are also very good tools, since the mindset is also one of relaxation, awareness, etc.)
An absolutely indispensable guide to this entire process of self-honesty and self-knowledge, using neutral positive thinking is to be found in the Seven Principles. Returning to what Semjase had to say:
Semjase:
For what is a human being?
He/She is only a figure and a name.
If one takes the name and the figure away, what is then left of him/her?
What remains is the fundamental essence, the existence – the spirit and the overall consciousness-block.
…
The human external nature though is full of limitations, because it is not himself/herself, but rather only his/her exterior, his/her material body, a limitation, a matter leading into delusion, the wellspring of tribulation and suffering, limited in cognition and will, in readiness to make sacrifices, in freedom, love and happiness.
…
However, the question is, how shall the human being identify himself/herself with everything, if he/she does not know the way of the spirit.
Generally he/she tends to identify himself/herself with his/her body.
(Also: 176. – 184.)
…
“I am a part of the Creation, which as a part-piece enlivens me as spirit.”
…
Truth never needs to be adapted to some other or new age, because it is permanent for all times.
I’ll also include the lyrics to a song of mine from 1970:
Brother River
We are man and woman seeking for the way to get along
with all the trees and seas and animals before our light is gone
we’ll stay here for our lifetime we’ll go the way we came
and the only thing we’ll leave this earth is our body and our name
Now there’re mountains of aluminum where forests used to stand
and the acres of used papers try to suffocate our land
we’ll stay here for our lifetime we’ll go the way we came
and the only thing we’ll leave this earth is our body and our name
I am one with brother river mother earth and sister air
I am spirit can you hear it my voice is everywhere
So father guide your little ones with strong but tender hands
that they may see the morning sun rise on the newborn land
they’ll stay here for their lifetime they’ll go the way they came
and the only thing they’ll leave this earth is their body and their name
I am one with brother river mother earth and sister air
I am spirit can you hear it my voice is everywhere
…and close out with an invitation for your comments to focus on this element of the spiritual teaching and your own experiences in developing neutrality in your life.
Eternally Youthful
Neutrality of Emotions, to not react in the face of facts with fear or anger (negative) but to be neutral in the face of the truth and to further choose a response that is neutral (positive).
Neutrality is something folks like to sweep under the rug nowadays… they would rather be a disturbing element, espousing media rhetoric not their own… than to actually think by first clearing their minds (consciousness) and going from there… understanding the positive… understanding the negative and being neutral… but slightly… positive. I’ve notices Putin has called upon the world to fight ISIL together, he’s saying… let’f forget our double standard and fight the IS together… nice. Too many are financially motivated in wartime… they make money bombing IS or incarcerating folks (US is #1 in that I understand)… but if we thought a little by first clearing our minds of what is negative and positive and neutralizing this for the good of us all… and dam few have that ability to think within… to actually turn over a problem within their own consciousness to find an answer and even fewer pay attention to that sense or senses (two that I know of) by being truly sensitive to whatever issue you set you mind too… Thank you for your wise words my friend.
Perfect timing Michael! I have only just read for the first time, in the last week, The Three Golden Rules and am still in the process of thinking through it, having my cognitions about them and putting them into practice. I’m 4 ½ pages from the end, and then a re-study is in order. I apologise to any who have not read The Psyche and do not understand fully what I am talking about, which indicates the importance of you obtaining said book and the subsequent study thereof.
My new neighbour is a young 28yr old bible-bashing/self-responsibility-bashing christainist. I was talking with her over a few quiet ones which soon became a few noisy ones, from her side of the coffee table. I just sat there knowing both sides of the coin and mostly listened with the odd interjection of truth, if one could get a word in edgewise, and then simply listened again without entering into an argument about the age old non-argument; a lot of smiling, nodding and raised eyebrows. Inside voice Andrew, inside voice.
This is the first time, that I can remember, that I have been able to accomplish this feat this lifetime and it has shown me a new way of life that certainly does lead to making everyday life easier; she is still talking to me! And an added bonus would be the fact that she has since admitted to a poor lifestyle (lest I judge, as I have been there in the past myself) and her desire to change, indicating a thought process has been entered into by her; plus there has been less raised voices between herself and her 9yr old daughter, of late.
Salome.
I think the Swiss are losing their neutrality because of NATO and the EU.
I think a neutral positive drive will actually get you someplace far quicker than neutral can because you can move forward rather than just growing roots.
Achieving the consciousness state of neutral positive equalised balance with intentful and controlled concentration without the mind and self being distracted by automatic uncontrolled thoughts and emotions is never easy.
It doesn’t get any easier living in major towns and cities brimming with people.
Work at it people may effortfully need to do but it’ll always be a process of two step forward and three steps back like it always is with most things.
Sometime being neutral positive and balanced in a world where reciprocation of base emotions gets things rolling works to people’s disadvantage.
Sometimes when you need to shout you do need to shout at people.
Sometimes when you have to get angry in the right dose you do need to let it out.
Living in this era with the current state of collective psychological and psychical degeneration you’ve got to play by the law of the jungle in order to survive.
This is the way it is right now and nobody can change this fact with or without neutral positive equalised balance.
Don’t confuse neutrality with not shouting, getting “angry”, etc. Inwardly one can remain quite neutral and peaceful while expressing oneself in a variety of ways.
Yes Matt, I hear you , however the Gewalt part is the shouting and lashing out and that part is not easy to control because Gewalt needs to be studied and researched further more in the Spirit Teachings so we can grasp hold of those reigns and pull them back before we allow them to run away like an out of control stage coach in a western movie.
G’Day Darcy,
On page 206 of The Psyche, Billy writes: “The greater the consciousness of the human being is, in the knowledge and in the wisdom, the greater his/her creational love will be towards everything and everybody – a love which one must designate as universal love, for want of another term. But in reality, it is the primal Gewalt of the Creation which first makes the life possible.”
And the Glossary of FIGU terms from the same book includes: “Gewalt” exists in different and relative forms, … When human beings possess or carry out acts of Gewalt and it is not based in logic, then this usually involves violence, brutality, degradation and is terribly destructive.
This to me; in my opinion; from what I gather, Gewalt can be used Positively, Negatively and Neutrally.
Is this your understanding too?
Salome.
Andrew this Gewalt that Billy talks about is best answered by that teacher or perhaps Marianne Uehiln could also could explain Gewalt. Your comment intrigues me to think that the Big Bang is Gewalt explosion that creates the life.
Darcy, I took your advice and consulted Billy and found this from Goblet of the Truth:
Chapter 3
1) The prophets have brought you on Earth the teaching of the truth, the teaching of the spirit, the teaching of
the life as fulfilment of what preceded it through Nokodemion’s teaching; and before this he himself taught
his teaching to his peoples as a guideline (sign posting/leading thought) to distinguish between being fair and
unfair, between right and unright and between truth and lie as well as between honesty and unhonesty and
also between respect and slander (calumny).
2) And it is certain that those who deny the truth and the teaching of the prophets do not possess the Gewalt
of forgiveness, so they cannot forgive those who do terrible things to them; the measure of forgiveness is only
given to the fair ones (responsible ones) and the knowing ones who forgive those who do terrible things to
them.
Salome.
OK, now I too am intrigued by where this is taking me.
I was over at http://au.figu.org/wealth_gewaltlosigkeit.html and read Wealth of the Non-Gewalt and Profound Spiritual Teaching Interpretations by Billy. (which is how I found the reference in GOTT; hovering your mouse over the first instance of Gewalt brings up a definition box with examples at the bottom, there is also an example of evil Gewalt)
Apparently it’s more beneficial for our survival to not be Gewaltsam at all.
“The human being must experience hell in order to be able to understand heaven.” – Mehrauli, India, June 1964 Billy – The Psyche. pg 182.
Maybe we need to evolve to a point where no Gewalt is needed among us. The true Love, Peace, Freedom, Harmony and Feeling for Others would surely have no need for it.
Could it be that what is needed is a Neutral-Positive-Equalisation of that which has the might and power to Create & Destroy; Neutral only being possible when there is the existence of two opposing poles, the Positive (Love) is the factor that is required for a continuance of creation as opposed to the Negative (Hatred) which destroys, and the Equalisation is required to keep the motion of creating in motion, a continuance of potential.
Salome.
A beautiful blog MH. Back in 1970 my father and I were listening to the Apollo Moon flights in the car radio back then when suddenly I thought there must be better worlds than this one. In 1997 I discovered Billy Meier and his plejaren friends who said we MUST become more spiritual,learn about the arts,music and so on OTHER than war whch could KILL US ALL. Now I only WISH we could ALL be just like our Plejaren friends and live life as they do with joy and happiness and neutral positive thinking and a neutral positive attitude. Salome Friend.:)))
It starts with each one of us. Simply stated, live as you imagine the Plejaren to live and let it radiate out to others without force or concern.
Thanks MH I really NEED that so much.
Practice making it happen.
Remeer I ended the blog with “an invitation for your comments to focus on this element of the spiritual teaching and your own experiences in developing neutrality in your life.”
This means also that instead of us looking outward, worrying or complaining about how the world doesn’t practice neutrality and neutral positive thinking, it’s about how we go about doing it.
Sometimes I’ve noticed that I start out the day feeling well-balanced and positive and mentally all right in my thinking, but then as I go through the day and enter into relationships with other people and negative energies I end up feeling wasted and drained by the end of the day. If you are out working every day I think it’s harder to maintain a neutral-positive energy in your body, because you get inundated by other peoples’ negative energies. So then at the end of the day I first have to go home and either sit back in a comfy chair or actually lie down for an hour to let those negative energies leave me. I can actually feel them like a heavy cloud around my head, also in my body and they cause my heart to race and beat irregularly. . .. .
Neutral-positive thinking is easiest if you’re not under stress. Stress creates anxiety and anxiety drives out those good feelings. If you have a work day without rest it can leave you feeling very bad even if emotionally and mentally there’s nothing wrong with you! I invite the Plejaren to incarnate as an earth person, and see how they do after a few years of living on the earth. . . . . .Abuse and coercion in the home, coercion and brainwashing in the schools, threats and coercion in the workplace and the list goes on. It’s very hard to be thoughtful, kind and positively “neutral” as we live life here from day today.
It’s when we’re most challenged that neutral-positive thinking is even more important. It isn’t necessarily about “good feelings”, as much as we prefer them.
I had a really severe sciatica-like condition for almost two weeks. So I practiced as much neutrality as possible. I even found the pain interesting from that perspective, while I was doing things to solve the problem.
Dear Carolyn,
You need neutral-positive thinking to give you balance, especially under stress. Life is not supposed to be all positive and good for the human being; we need to go through hard times in order to balance out the easy times. Billy has said that the best opportunity for spiritual growth is when we are confronted by hardship; when we fight our way back to a balanced mindset to be healthy.
I can relate to you Carolyn because my new workplace is over populated with employees and also over populated with customers who seem to cue up like balls on a pool table and they all expect service at the same time and they are always in a hurry and don’t know why like that song they sing on the radio.
Nice article MH! Like the article states, neutrality is necessary to master life’s challenges,with calm, and peace, setting in. 🙂 What has helped me, is the study of Billy’s books, for either 30, or 60 minutes a day, slowly making my way through the German, or English (if I’m reading a translation), and having my cognitions about what I read, as I live each day, trying my best to fulfill the laws and recommendations of Creation in my life, and neutrality naturally seeps in. As the years go by, I find myself changing for the positive, and neutral-positive (equalised), and my actual ways of thinking change and conform to the laws and recommendations of Creation. Hope this helps.
Billy writes in “Arahat Athersata” page 141 that the spirit possesses evolution-steps, and is like the primal-Creation, which is a balance of both positive, and negative forces, so (read this part in other books:) it is up to the consciousness of the human-being to connect with the equalised energies of the spirit-form, and this is done by the thoughts, and feelings of the human-being. Billy also writes on page 141 of “Arahat Athersata”, that if only one pole is present, either positive, or negative, (good or evil in average human terms), then the spirit, and the consciousness, will not develop. Since reading that some years ago, I have tried to be a balance of both poles, in my thoughts, and feelings, and when you do this, you can master your thoughts, feelings, and life’s challenges, and also neutrality naturally seeps in, as you conform your thoughts to the creational laws, and recommendations…
I am just like everyone else, with problems, and moments of unclarity, where only one pole is present, but I also have moments of neutrality, and neutral-positive-equalisedness (Ausgeglichenheit), when I strive for it, the trick is, I just have to strive for it. I suppose that is the point of Billy’s books, striving for the correct things for consciousness-related development, and evolution.
Whenever I overcome a problem, or challenge, I know my knowledge of the spiritual teaching, is getting stronger, as is my consciousness, and my knowledge is turning into wisdom, In OM, one of the passages from the former terrestrial prophet Henok, said something like “through death, let me be a wise, and sage one”, and I think he meant, through the reincarnation process, to let himself be more evolved in the next life, and the next life after that, consistently growing in wisdom, and sageness.
In this day and age, it is not always easy pursuing wisdom, and this takes effort, and time, but if you focus, 30-60 minutes a day to your study, plus other time throughout your day, whenever the inspiration of the subconsciousness hits you, or the thoughts hit you, impulses strike your material consciousness, regarding the spiritual teaching, make your cognitions, and try to let yourself soak up the truth for a few moments, each cognition allows your consciousness to develop a little more then before.
These things I listed are possible, if you just pursue them. 🙂
Thanks for that contribution Corey, it should be read number of times for all its meaning.
That is really good advice, Corey. I find myself wanting to banish negative energies from my personality. If I find them in me, I tend to want to kick them out, so I don’t really accept that negative energies should be in me at all. If I notice something that’s not right, I work at getting rid of it, much like you would exorcise a wart. .. . some people like to live with their warts and make no attempt to remove them. I’m for removing them.
Corey Müske, In the last comment you mentioned the OM passage by Henok, “through death, let me be a wise, and sage one”, did not Billy built upon this with in FIGU Bulletin 38. And if we go into death or near death with a positive natural state of being that we can do all the that are listed and if it is a near death experience pieces of the wisdom, and sageness will stay as a part of the current personality and pasted on unless we let it go.
Your response would be highly respected.
Peace.
Billy Wilson
Billy,
Since death and near death are not the same, it may not be exactly relevant to how go into death…unless we view it as a “practice run” …of sorts.
Michael, In the Talmud of Jmmanuel it was through the near death experience that Jmmanuel spoke of enlightenment. and it was though the loss of Billy;s arm that he was to be awaken greater knowledge. In FIGU Special Bulletin 38 it does not make a difference with death or near death if one is in a neutral positive state of being that full death must arise from FBS 38 “It is not so that the “consciousness sensor” factor, respectively “consciousness feeler” must first leave the brain in order to be active in the fine-material sense, because only when rational understanding is shut off, and the fine-material gains the upper hand, is the consciousness active and can send out its feeler, respectively, its sensor, which is able to make fine-matter sensory perceptions beyond the body.” And if we have mastered the psyche and have no GOD delusions and are balanced than as Jmmanuel stated we can move mountains, To become consciously active is the goal of evolving with mediation exercises and learning to move above the rational matter realm with the spiritual teachings. Death, near death and even trauma all can bring us to same point if we are ready and go into it with out fear.So far since many have found Billy’s teaching no one has the need or the words to explain what happen. I truly know the Billy;s words prove you wrong on this one. Men and woman have had parts of this knowledge for thousands upon thousands of years. But with out giving into the spiritual knowledge they will continually be misled. And as time runs it course more students will learn how much power feelings and thoughts can cause, changes will be fast after that happens point.
I don’t think that trauma and near death necessarily bring us to some same, prescribed point. Certainly anyone who consciously endures great trials, tragedies, including the very human fears that may accompany these, etc., can indeed benefit in their consciousness.
Meier describes what is commonly referred to as “leaving one’s body”, which he’s also made clear isn’t at all what happens. We have the opportunity, every day, moment-by-moment to practice and cultivate neutrality, neutral positive thinking, etc. The more we do so, the better prepared we may be to handle extreme events fro a place of greater equanimity.
I appreciated your post Corey which has refreshed my often dark and negative consciousness.
As for my own experience I got annoyed and I often do when my little fella wakes me and my misses in the wee hours of the morning after a wee wee.
I gave into my annoyance which culminated into anger then that anger turned into emotional outbursts and then I thought ‘gee he is not even 1 year old and only way for babies to express what they need is by crying, whinging, shouting, chucking a temper tantrum and so forth’ and besides he is my baby son for crying out loud.
After I have established these fact of truth and many other logical truths I calm down and achieve neutral balanced state free from negative and positive emotions after suffering from pangs of guilt, remorse and regret.
Hi Matt, I think the pangs of guilt, remorse and regret is called conscience, and I was studying conscience in the FIGU dictionary because I was unsure if it was real. I guess our conscience can call us to account and it could appear in the seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years later or even never if there is illness.
Ok Darcy as long as its not science of con I am always up for it anytime of the century.
Thanks a lot Michael! Just in time as I was pondering about neutral positive thinking and thought of asking about it on the forum, you post this article. Thanks for all you do.
You’re welcome Jessy.
What a wonderful way of expressing how it could be if we all lived in the moment with each other. Thanks to a wonderful chance within creation, my spiritform and my personality has given me all the steps needed to make a perfectly balanced hammer and has placed around me are all the others that are founding that just right spot within their current being to slowly rebuild. The spiritual teaching was given to the kings in the past to be spread to all earthlings, this time we are to be mindful of the fact it is going in other direction. And as we rebuilt ourselves we also have to rebuilt our connections to each other. So far it has been easier to watch the sun turn what I assume is lead from the contact reports into massive balls of high voltage, than finding ones sharing analogies, or even connecting all the dots with each other for internal and external barriers.
Thanks Again Michael
Definition of neutrality in English: noun
[MASS NOUN]
1 The state of not supporting or helping either side in a conflict, disagreement, etc.; impartiality: during the war, Switzerland maintained its neutrality
Since 1567 Switzerland did in fact choose aside in a global conflict, Recruits to the guards must be Catholic, single males with Swiss citizenship who have completed basic training with the Swiss military and can obtain certificates of good conduct. Recruits must have a professional degree or high school diploma and must be between 19 and 30 years of age and at least 174 cm (5 ft 8.5 in) tall.[And these forces are maintained on foreign soil . From my point of view supporting the Vatican with the full support of the leaders of Switzerland is not being neutral.
Hello MH and participants,
Thank you for blogging about the spiritual teaching instead of just focusing on Meier critics, the doom and gloom prophecies, the breakdown of planet earth, and all the horrible things happening on planet Earth. I don’t want to read another rant from a blog participant about WW4, race wars, civil wars, the banksters, the politicians, the pope, the illuminati, the bafath, the dark order, or any other complaint on how bad it is to live on planet Earth. At least for a while. I get that planet Earth is a s*** hole to the greater overpopulation. But this blog needs to balance out all this doom and gloom with the good things happening. And that starts with exploring the basic concepts of the spiritual teaching. If you remember, my suggestion was to post a Figu article, and then have the participants discuss what can be learned. I see that you have a link to the Figu “Neutrality” article that we discussed as a group. In the future it would be great for you to give us your written intro or outro of course; but instead of just a link, also the complete Figu article or recent translation please. But to be balanced, thank you for the nice blog entry this time. It is good.
To all the doom and gloomers: I personally love living here on planet Earth, especially with all the diversity of ecosystems and lifeforms. I just love tigers and eagles. I just love the beach, especially ocean kayaking it. I love to recycle. I go out of my way to stretch my gas mileage on my already highly fuel efficient honda transport vehicle. I will not have any children this lifetime to not contribute to the monstrous overpopulation that is currently happening. I try to grow my own food to become more and more self sufficient and place less stress on the economy. It is not only religious, but downright asinine for people to say the little ole baby blue is the worst planet in the universe, let alone Universe. This place is paradise, if you recognize all the s***, yet try to find a way to make the world a better place to live and find your oasis. There are countless worlds out there in the greater Universe that are a helluva lot worse than this shining blue pearl, and countless that are better off. It is up to each and every one of us to not go off the ‘deep end’ no matter our location in the Universe, but rather stay balanced atop a surf board.
I agree with you Anthony on the need to balance out what is seemingly a blog filled with negative events which I am also guilty of partaking and adding too. BUT
Having said that the Theyflyblog without corroboration of Billy’s prophetic information just wouldn’t be the Theyflyblog would it.
All Michael has done is told the truth that the truth Billy and the Plejaren had told which to some could be quite mentally overwhelming.
It’s still a mystery to me why oh why if people wanted to focus on the spiritual aspect of the teaching they don’t do so at the FIGU forum.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too meaning participating at FIGU forum entails much patience as the turnover of responses are much slower there than it is here but pratising patience in itself is a spiritual exercise too isn’t it.
Why does it take Michael to start the ball rolling when you yourself can walk the talk and talk the walk over at FIGU forum?
Did anybody notice that despite the 4 odd years that this blog has been up and after so many words written during that time that not much of the world has changed for the better nor the amount of people seeing the truth to this case.
Thanks Anthony I think your comment is still on topic because the negative side and the positive side is real and the neutral is in the middle where we should try to be. That said I think I need to deal with both the negative and the positive things here on Earth in a Gewalt kind of way in order to create the neutral and a bit of positive contrary to the extreme positive or the extreme negative.
i’ve been working on this with my crude understanding of it(neutrality),i’ve noticed a small but positive change in my life,a more stable circumstance(emotionally,financially and otherwise).
