Polarity as the Magnet of Life

real keynote of man's body. Without that stability of Mental Polarity action, man becomes a victim of every emotional wind that blows. Opinions, thoughts, ideas, ideals are as real factors in life as the food we eat. Wars are fought over ideas. Man resents that with which he cannot agree or assimilate into his mind. Polarity again is the final key.

Why do we behave in this manner? Mental suffering through indigestible ideas, orders or compulsion of thoughts through mind energy, may be repelled by the revulsion of the whole being. These are the real basic factors of indigestible parts of mind-matter and are more powerful in arousing Polarity than physical indigestibles.

Polarity is either attraction (pleasure - sensory in-going energy) or repulsion (pain - motor out-going centrifugal force action). The latter depends on effort and tension which are closely linked to pain. If this expelling centrifugal action cannot remove the unassimilable physical, emotional or mental material, then suffering begins through opposing forces in the energy fields. Old circuits are disrupted, tissues and fibres [fibers] are strained, and functions disturbed or neglected because of diversion of energy currents from this fight to expel the intruder. In this condition, as in war, all home fires are neglected. The issue is vital. It is Polarity as integrity which is at stake for the survival of the individual or the nation as a whole.

Principles of life are the same for all beings, and Polarity is the most neglected root-cause of them all in our physical, emotional or mental well-being. It sums itself up into Polarity Principles as the attraction of the Essence within to the substance without, necessary for the maintenance of health and life of the individual on this earth. This is the relationship of the individual to the cosmos.

When mankind has obtained physical security, then his real problem is, what can he do with it? Man must act in his own sphere or field of his three bodies - the physical, the emotional and the mental. Without these three dimensional functions, he is not man, the intelligent being. After he has conquered his environment for his physical needs, the problem of Polarity begins. How can he be happy except by expressing himself as a triune, integral being, the very purpose for which he was endowed with a human body and mind.

Man is creative by nature. He extends himself into his environment or world. He expresses his being by self-preservation, by perpetuating himself through offspring and by creative ideas or intellectual pursuits in any field of endeavor which expresses his Polar affinity of an ideal within. The former are purely animal qualities while the latter can be accomplished by human beings only, and tend to enrich the individual and his environment. Whether this creation be mental, emotional or mechanical, does not matter. No matter which way the consciousness (the soul) or the mind (which is the soul's agent) turns for expression of ideas, it is all Polarity in action as either centrifugal or centripetal motion of energy.

Since life in all its action is a triune Polarity function, and can be reduced to such simplicity, why do we go so far afield to solve our problems, and in theory only at that? We suffer if our difficulties or chaotic energy currents are not reduced to assimilable Polarities in any one of our three bodies or energy fields of action.

The idea of three bodies or fields of expression may seem new, but it is not an invention of mine. It is as old as mankind. The Trinity Principle of every religion bears evidence to this fact. If Deity is triune, man must be, since he is an exact image of his Creator. It is merely a
