In taking responsibility for the manner in which we direct our energy, of being in awareness of what we give our energy to, both in our personal lives and within the collective matrix, I offer this for consideration.
Many wonderful well-meaning people choose to take an oppositional stand on an issue that in some way is not reflective of that which they desire to have in their own life or in the world yet their approach can often fuel the the exact issue they are trying to change.
When you focus on a situation and claim an oppositional stance you are creating a polarity and through projection are in fact adding your energy to the situation you do not wish to be a part of.
It is a better approach to first reclaim one’s energy from any situation that you may find yourself in opposition of then create a new situation or align to an established one which is a parallel situation to that which you have removed your energy from and is reflective of that which you do wish to experience within your reality.
First one must reclaim their energy from the situation by simply no longer allowing it to fuel them emotionally leading to a reactionary stance and projection of one’s energy.
By rescinding one’s energy from a situation the situation from which you have reclaimed your energy now weakens in exact proportion to the amount of energy you have rescinded.
If this ‘situation’ is one that only involves one other person lending their energy to said situation the result of your removing your energy is generally of immediate notice.
If the ‘situation’ is one in which many are involved, while the result may not be readily apparent in the beginning, you have weakened the situation nonetheless. If others whom also contribute energy to said situation choose to rescind their energy over a period of time the situation will weaken exponentially until it contains less than the original amount of energy from which it was created hence signifying collapse of said situation.
Now that you have reclaimed your energy from this situation you did not wish to be part of you are now able to direct the reclaimed energy to another avenue of your choosing.
If you so choose you can then create a new scenario that you desire or align yourself and participate within an already established parallel situation reflective of that which you do want within your reality with the energy you have reclaimed from that which you do not want in your reality.
A simple example:
Instead of protesting side-by-side with the advocates of a situation create a separate function to PRO-mote the situation that you wish to become manifest.
Scenario: If you consider yourself anti-war instead of protesting side by side with advocates of war create a PRO-motion for peace.
Hold an event that emphasizes the societies whom have thrived in times when there was peace.
There are innumerable ways to show the beauty of peaceful society.
Truth be told, you will receive much more attention to that of which you are promoting for more people will be drawn to a function that feels good to them(especially if they are not activists or even aware there is an issue) then to an event that feels bad or frictional in some manner.
This creates a wonderful opportunity to reach out and educate more people to the alternatives.
Mother Teresa was quoted as saying:
“I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations.
I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.”
When I first heard her quote a few years ago I knew immediately she understood the wisdom of energy utilization in relation to the Creatrix, and her simple statement, expresses the wisdom she embodied.

It has been a stretch of time since I’ve visited. I have been thinking of you and so … since time has put me here at a computer I found this post.
BEing Pro-something takes a lot more attending and sometimes its the journey space between being aware of something and accepting the whole of that awareness, BEFORE acting that has gotten me into that ‘polarity’ you write about. I love the reminder to be a PRO-PEACE activist. Time in the forrest is giving me that and reading your post during the summer of great challenge are helping with the process.
Much aloha,
