Neutrality Restores Peace and Peace starts from Within
We all want a better world. We all deeply long for peace, love, or at least “non-belligerent” realities to be part of our daily lives, but are we ready to comprehend and install in our cells the real meaning of love and peace? Do we all have the same perceptions? Do we all learn at the same pace? Am I sure that what I want for others is what they want for themselves?
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Belligerence is an aggressive or truculent attitude, atmosphere, or disposition; and a Neutral is a position of disengagement (as of gears); not engaged on either side.
As the social art of neutrality implies being above the two points of tension or resistance and being able to handle both without being any of them, belligerence starts when a single intention, which is usually unconscious, generates a ripple effect of resistance in the environment.
Whenever my intention, conscious or unconscious, is not aligned with someone else’s, and I try to impose mine to avoid feeling what I don’t know how to handle, I am in a belligerent position.
The “need to lecture” comes from a deep sense of fear, control, judgment, pride, defense, and beliefs like: “I know more”, “it is my responsibility to instruct you”, “it is my way, not yours”, “I need to save or protect you”, or “I need to make my point”, etc. Hence, the charge of my beliefs usually comes back to me as resistance, defensiveness, attacks, silence, frustration, or any type of reaction that feeds the power of war.
Training the zero point
It is ok not to know. But the openness to know and the deepening of knowing myself requires a voluntary decision. Sometimes we believe we are neutral because we don’t show our feelings but inside we are not. Whenever we use the power of neutrality to manipulate or control, the result won’t last forever. Sooner or later this intention will come to light. If we use it with a clear and real peaceful and conscious intention of love, the fruits will always be peace and love.
The divine is the source of unlimited information and creation of the universe, but it only provides to each one of us moment by moment, what is just and necessary for our evolution. It is always providing, without instructions, but with full respect for our free will and the recognition that our purpose here is to expand our vision, our potential, and the comprehension of the meaning of life.
The training is to dig deep within and find out what is the real intention that motivates our actions, is it fear? Or is it Love?
Neutrality Restores Peace and Peace starts from Within
Being neutral doesn’t require the “need to lecture” anybody because in neutrality we are able to honor and take responsibility for our own needs (especially the emotional ones); this is what maintains the state of neutrality permanently.
From this state of consciousness, a neutral is also able to recognize and honor the free will of others, and to identify, either by observation or by simply asking, if what they have to offer is what the other is open to receive for their own growth.
How do you feel when others “lecture” you? In my case, instinctively, I tend to shut down and create conversations of resistance in my mind. I feel tense and want either to run away or respond aggressively.
What does it take for you to attentively receive “a lecture” with enthusiasm and curiosity?
I started to reflect and make a list of possible answers on how to train my state of being towards remaining neutral for longer periods. I invite you to continue if you feel like it.
- Trust is my foundation. As long as there is belligerence there is no space for trust.
- Witness that the “lecturer” is an example of something I would like to experience or implement in my life.
- Respect for my rhythm. Patience and compassion open my willingness to learn.
- The invitation to reflect and find answers by myself.
- I welcome Teaching to fish instead of giving fish because whatever I learn to do by myself will stay with me forever and dissolves any dependency, which brings me to the next item on the list.
- I am open to receiving only when I ask for it, when I feel the need and when I am ready.
