Polarity
THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee (Exodus 20:12).
We should respect our parents just because they are our parents, but that teaching is just the very outer layer of this commandment. Underneath it is instruction in divine metaphysics because your real father and mother is God. When this commandment says, “Honour thy father and thy mother,” it brings in the two poles, the male and the female, and, of course, polarity is the motive power of the universe.
In the bible, mother means the feeling nature, and the father is the knowledge nature. Most people have one side or the other more developed. When our prayers fail and we do not demonstrate, we fail because we are not honoring our father and our mother.
Both our feeling and knowing selves need to be balanced in a way as to be most useful to a loving and peaceful life. It is the same with a mother and father’s influence on their children who need both discipline and nurturing, strength and tenderness, courage and caution.
Balance in all things is, in fact, is one of the most efficient ways to progress spiritually and materially. Balance enables order, growth, harmony and development because it tends to create stability. For balance to exist, their must be polarity; light and dark; up and down, in and out; good and bad. It could be argued that existence itself depends on polarity. Could we have up without down? Good without bad? Could that be one of the reasons the Bible tells us to the thankful for all things?
This can be tested easily. Today, let us seek balance in all things, and at the end of the day let us determine how it worked. The results should yield a sufficient answer.
