Use Polarity To Create High Energy Manifestations

Polarity is a key concept to understanding how to create high-energy intentions. Thoughts have content and energy, and polarity is a property of the energy component. When you consider the energy of a thought, you are really talking about the energy flow. But in order to have a flow, we need a direction and that is what polarity is all about.

Keep an open mind as you read this article. The concepts are what are important, so try not to get hung up on the particular words used to describe them. If you can do this you will gain a valuable insight of how to use the Law of Attraction in ways to achieve your dreams and aspirations.

Defining polarity

In order to define polarity, we need to understand some concepts first, and explore the nature of thought.

As a conscious being, you have the ability to create thoughts. If you decide to think of a book, you can obviously easily do that.

Every thought consists of two primary components: the content and the energy. These are defined as:

Thought content

The content of a thought is the raw information it contains. If you think of an book, the content is your internal representation of the book. If you form an intention to have a million dollars, the content is the request for a million dollars.

The content portion of a thought contains no emotion itself. Content is what you get when you reduce a thought to something that could be stored in some media. Even if the original thought is highly emotional, the content portion is the emotionless representation of that thought, such as the sentence “I am angry” to represent the real-life emotion of anger holds no essence of anger.

This definition of content is simply an abstraction to help us better understand the energy component. There is no suggestion that your thoughts actually separate themselves into separate components. The suggestion is that this model will be helpful to you in creating thoughts that have more power to manifest what you desire.

Thought energy

Energy is the non-content portion of a thought. This concept is very difficult to explain in words because as soon as we reduce it to words, we end up with content, not energy. Words can never do the concept justice, just as the word “happy” can never convey the actual experience of being happy.

Intuitively you already have a grasp of the energy component of your thoughts, so the best way to define energy is to allow you to experience it subjectively right now. Here is a simple exercise you can do in about one minute to demonstrate thought energy This exercise should be very familiar to anyone who has studied NLP.

Try holding the thought “I am happy” in your mind right now for a few seconds. Notice how you feel when you hold this thought.

Now hold that same thought (identical content), but with more energy this time. Do whatever you think is necessary to make the “I am happy” thought more intense in your mind , smile, change your position, breathe more deeply, stand up, stick your chest out, look up or move around. Whatever intensifies the thought is good. Hold the thought at that new energy level for a few more seconds. Notice the difference in how this thought feels compared to the first thought. Can you perceive the increased energy even as the pure content of the thought remains unchanged?

Now lower the intensity, and bring the energy of the “I am happy” thought back down. Strip the thought of all its energy, and reduce it in your mind to pure content. It is nothing but a boring sentence you could be reading dispassionately from a boring book. That is the contrasting level you need to bring it down to. Hold the thought as pure content for a few more seconds. Notice how that feels compared to the first two thoughts. Can you sense the energetic difference?

Even though the content is the same in the situations, your subjective experience of these thoughts will be totally different. Objectively speaking, your breathing, physiology, and movement will change to reflect the energy of the thought you are holding. If someone else were doing this exercise in front of you, you would be able to perceive the differences. It isn’t difficult to gauge the intensity of someone’s thought energy by observing their physiology. This is especially easy to do with children who are less apt to disguise their emotional state and let the world see their state.

Energy and emotion

At this stage you might be thinking that energy and emotion are the same thing. They are related, but they are definitely not the same. Emotion is to energy as heat is to fire. The flow of thought energy creates emotion, just as fire produces heat. If you hold a thought with strong energy, you will feel strong emotion. If you hold a thought with weak energy, you will feel little or no emotion.

Energy is not something you can create or destroy. It simply exists in whatever form always has and always will. It is ever-present and always available. What makes you feel strong emotion is not the energy itself, which is ever-present, but rather the flow of the energy flowing through you.

There is a school of thought that you can increase your ability to manifest your desires by injecting more emotion into your thoughts. That advice is probably misguided. It is like saying you can make a fire burn hotter by turning up the heat in the room where the fire is. Technically that may true, as heat transmission is from the hotter item to the cooler item. It is a highly inefficient strategy, and you will end up investing more energy than you gain. If you want your fire (intention) to burn hotter, you should add more fuel (energy), and you’ll generate more heat (emotion) as a natural consequence.

Once you fully understand energy and begin to experiment with it, especially combined with polarity, you will find it a lot easier to generate intense emotional states simply by visualizing the energy flow.

Contrary to popular belief, an intense emotion like passion does not fuel or motivate activity. Passion is not the real source of drive and motivation. Passion itself is a by product of high thought energy. The reason you see passion and motivated action together is that they’re both outcomes of the flow of thought energy. Without thought energy, there is no passion, no activity, and no manifesting. So the process of generating results works like this:

INTENTION (CONTENT + THOUGHT ENERGY)

|

PASSION + DIRECT ACTION + PASSIVE MANIFESTING

|

RESULT

In every situation the particular mixture of passion, action, and manifesting will be different, but the ultimate cause of the whole chain of events is the original intention. Direct action and passive manifesting is basically the same thing because when passion is high, action becomes fun and effortless anyway.

Remember that we are talking energy here, not content. You can spend hours holding low-energy thoughts with great content, such as by reciting daily affirmations, and you will manifest virtually no passion, no activity, and no results. Similarly you can hold thoughts with really weak content but high energy, and you will feel a surge of motivation to passionately pursue them and generate results. You have probably had experiences with both of these extremes.

What is really fascinating  is that when you form a powerful intention, one Law of Attraction with thought energy, other people (especially those who are energetically sensitive) can begin to pick up on it long before the intention physically manifests. Possibly on some level, this thought energy is beginning to resonate with those who will eventually be involved in its manifesting. Even though these are intentions that may take a decade or more to fully manifest in physical form, on an energetic level the creation has already been set in motion.

Energy as a practical tool

Depending on your particular belief system, other terms you can use in place of energy. It does not matter what term you use. The concept is all that matters.

This is just a presentation tool you can use. The concept of thought energy is much like a mathematical construct. For example, consider the mathematical concept of imaginary numbers, based on taking the square root of -1. Imaginary number space does not exist in a real physical sense, but the concept can still be used to solve interesting problems and generate results with enormously practical applications.

Energy flow and skill

As a conscious being, you have the ability to direct the flow of universal energy. In fact the ability to do this is one of the most fundamental skills of consciousness. It is a skill because there are varying degrees of competency. Like any other skill, you will have some level of innate ability in this area, but you can also improve it with practice. However, expecting to master this skill overnight is an extremely naive view

Becoming skilful at directing energy flow takes dedication, practice, and perseverance.

Your ability to successfully apply the Law of Attraction depends on your ability to generate the correct energy flow. If you cannot achieve a strong flow, you will fail miserably and get no results. That is not the end of the world, but it does mean that you will spend far more time servicing other people’s intentions instead of enjoying the fulfilment of your own.

A pattern you will see repeatedly with newcomers to the Law of Attraction is that they form intentions that are all content and no energy. They tweak the content again and again, mistakenly thinking that better content is the answer, but they never manage to build sufficient intensity on the energy side.

Many people who achieve poor results when trying to apply the Law of Attraction simply lack the skill of creating and sustaining energy flow.

In all fairness to those who are struggling with the Law of Attraction and making these newbie mistakes, it is not really your fault. There is a tremendous amount of marketing hype, and money making, surrounding the Law of Attraction these days that vastly oversimplifies its true complexities and leaves people thinking they can expect instant results overnight. You think it and it drops in your lap – No. The something-for-nothing crowd is going to be disappointed as they always are, but those who look beneath the surface and probe its depths, study and practice will find something wonderful. Just do your best to ignore the marketing hype without feeling a need to attack or defend it.

Polarity

Now you are finally ready to explore the concept of polarity. This is a very key concept to understanding how to create high-energy intentions.

Thoughts have content and energy, and polarity is a property of the energy component. When you consider the energy of a thought, you are really talking about the energy flow. But in order to have a flow, we need a direction.

What are the possible directions of energy flow? With respect to your consciousness, there are only two directions that make sense: into your consciousness or out from your consciousness. Energy can flow towards you, or it can flow away from you.

The polarity of the energy flow is simply its direction. The in-flowing energy has one polarity, and the out-flowing energy has the opposite polarity.

So here are the two basic ways energy can flow through your consciousness:

  1. You direct energy from your consciousness out to the universe.
  2. You draw energy from the universe into your consciousness.

Number one is like breathing out, and two is like breathing in, except we are talking energy instead of air. This is not any kind of physical energy flowing through your physical body. It is best to treat this as a conceptual tool.

Choosing polarity

The polarity of every thought is either outward or inward but can never be both. A thought could be totally neutral as well, which would mean that it has content but no energy, and since it has no energy, it cannot be polarized. An example would be imagining a pencil or holding some other emotionless idea in your mind that you do not connect with an energy flow.

These two different energy polarities are incompatible with each other. When you have both polarities present at the same time and in the same magnitude, they cancel each other. In effect you are working against yourself.

Not understanding polarity is a source of tremendous frustration when applying the Law of Attraction, since it is entirely possible to inject lots of energy into your intentions but get very little or no results if you are mixing both polarities together. Unfortunately it is extremely easy to do this by default, as are many aspects of the Law of Attraction. If you want to manifest a particular desire, you will achieve the best results by picking a single polarity and using it consistently.

Polarizing your intentions

Based on the polarity concept, there are a couple things you can note about intentions:

  • An intention without a strong polarity is very weak and has little power to manifest
  • An intention with a strong polarity is very strong and has significant power to manifest

To polarize an intention, you must energize it with directional energy. The energy must either flow outward or inward, but not both.

Understand that with respect to this model, everything is energy, so although the content of your intentions may seem to have nothing to do with energy, ultimately you can think of your intentions in terms of some kind of flow, and that flow is either coming into you or going out of you. An intention that does not align with one of these natural flows will have virtually no power to manifest.

Here are some examples of intentions that align well with outflow (from your consciousness out to the universe):

  • Write a book
  • Build a business
  • Compose a song
  • Draw a picture
  • Throw a party
  • Give a speech
  • Start a blog

And here are some examples of intentions that align well with inflow (from the universe into your consciousness):

  • Get a new car
  • Attract a new relationship
  • Receive a certain sum of money
  • Get a new job
  • Achieve a certain reputation
  • Win a contest

Technically these lists have no energy (or polarity) because as plain text they reduce intentions to mere content, but you can see there is a logical directional choice for the flow of energy for each example.

Outward flowing energy involves creation and giving. Inward flowing energy involves acquiring and receiving. Although these two energies may seem similar, they’re actually very distinct opposites.

It is possible to take the same content and apply either energetic polarity to it. For example, consider the intention of eating a nice dinner. You can imbue this intention with out-flowing energy by imagining it as a creative endeavor, focusing on the experience of preparing an interesting meal, concocting an original recipe, laying out the table, and perhaps sharing the food with others. You are adding to the substance of the universe. On the other hand, you can also fill this intention with in-flowing energy by focusing on appeasing your appetite, enjoying the taste and texture of the food, being served, and feeling satiated at the end of the meal. In this case you are receiving from the universe. Your dinner will turn out best if you pick one polarity or the other and stick with it. If you’ve never tried doing this consciously, I highly encourage you to do so.

To form a strong intention, think of that intention as either an inflow or an outflow of energy. Are you primarily creating or acquiring? It’s important to be crystal clear about which polarity you’re going to use.

If you can not clarify your intention in terms of the inflow or outflow of energy, you’ll end up with a very weak intention that is not likely to manifest. When you form a true intention, either you are giving something to the universe, or you are getting something from it. While you may in fact experience both results as your intention manifests (giving leads to getting and vice-versa), what is important here is that you focus your intentional energy on either one direction or the other but not both. Your attention must be concentrated either on sending energy out or on drawing energy in.

There is no right or wrong choice of polarity except not to choose one. If you load your intentions with energy of mixed polarity, you’re only wasting your efforts. The two energies will simply neutralize each other and you will achieve nothing.

Polarized emotional feedback

These concepts may be easier to understand if you look at them from another angle: the emotional output of polarized energy. If you apply highly polarized energy to your intentions, you will experience a strong surge of emotion. But that emotional surge will be totally different depending on your choice of polarity.

If you use the polarity of creation and giving (outflow), you will experience a surge of related emotions such as love, joy, and inspiration.

If you use the polarity of acquisition and receiving (inflow), you will experience a surge of related emotions such as greed, lust, and power.

These polarized emotional states are incompatible with each other, which is what we would expect as a result of the underlying energies being incompatible. However, a peak emotional state on either side can be labeled as a form of passion. On either side you will experience intense, highly motivating emotional states.

Based on the emotional consequences, your social conditioning, and your personality, you may have a bias towards one polarity or the other. And thus your upbringing and environment can have some influence within your ability to manifest the full range of expectations. As far as the universe is concerned, these polarities are equally acceptable. To say that one is better than the other is to say that breathing in is better than breathing out.

If you experience no surge of emotion when focusing on your intentions, you are not putting enough energy into them, or you’re injecting them with energy of mixed polarity.

Life experience has probably shown you by now that when you hold an intention with strong emotions, it is very likely to manifest. You will be extremely motivated to take action, and it may also seem like the universe is bending over backwards to help you get there. In those situations you were using polarized energy, intensely focusing on either the outward flow of creative expression (giving) or the inward flow of acquisition (receiving). Instead of mixing those two polarities together, you primarily focused on one side or the other. It was either “I want to give” or “I want to get.” And you felt an intense emotional surge as a natural consequence of using polarized energy correctly.

Understanding inflow and outflow

The polarities of inflow and outflow are not like the two sides of the same coin, like yin and yang. These polarities are not something you would want to balance. Saying that you should balance the polarities of outflow and inflow is like saying you should balance your good deeds with bad ones. In this case balance is not a desirable quality, unless you want to end up a very conflicted individual.

The confusion is in using terms like inflow and outflow is that they imply an inherent balance. How can you have inflow without outflow, and vice versa? The difference between polarities is more extreme though. Instead of inflow and outflow, try fear and love respectively. These terms are probably more accurate labels, since they imply fundamentally different ways of relating to life. They are polar opposites, but they are not the kind you would want to balance or blend together.

The only way you will truly understand the significance of polarity is by experiencing it for yourself. Whenever you observe yourself or someone else in an emotional state, stop and take notice of the energetic flow that’s present. What is its polarity? Is the focus on inflow or outflow?

Using this valuable insight into polarity will unlock a key concept to understanding how to create high-energy intentions.
