Episode 11 – Being For Rather Than Against

Introduction:

Welcome to Awareness for Everyone, A Podcast about Conscious Reality Creation, and living the best lives we can for ourselves.  I am MJ Blehart, writer, blogger, editor, and 21st century philosopher.  Welcome to Episode 11 – Being For Rather Than Against

 

Part 1: What Does it Mean to Be For Rather than Against?

Carl Jung said, “What you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.”  Consciousness creates reality.  Because of this truth, when we stand against a thing, since that is where all of our focus is going, we tend to make that thing get worse.

Yoda offered an explanation of the Dark Side of the Force that actually applies rather perfectly to being against rather than for.  “Quicker, easier, more seductive.”  It feels a lot easier and faster to take a stand against something rather than to stand up for something.

 

Part 2: Practicing Being For Rather than Against

It is important when you are standing up to something that you be standing up FOR rather than AGAINST a thing.  For is a proactive stand, and imminently more powerful.  Against is a reactive stand, and flimsy because it lacks conviction.

Standing up for a thing empowers that thing, be it justice, tolerance, acceptance or what-have-you.  Being against a thing is disempowering, and because it is a reaction to a situation it does not create an alternative nor a solution.

 

Part 3: How Being For Rather than Against Empowers

When we take a stand for something, we are asking for change.  In being for something, we are focusing on creation, which will help us to improve our lives, fix problems, and better our world.

This is positive vs negative energy.  When we raise our frequency by creating and fostering positivity, we have a far better change of improving the world around us.

The important thing to keep in mind is that resistance is not futile.  But the direction of our resistance matters.  Resist for, and you are creating movement to truly effect change.  Resist against, you are fighting the current and gaining no ground.
