Trapped into Polarised Thinking Notice also that this way of looking at the world also contains very
strong judgemental elements. The essential energy behind each polarised thought is that
one idea, one person or one side is good or powerful and the other is wrong or
powerless. So what is going on that locks us in to this limited way of looking at life
and robs us of our freedom of choice? This way of seeing the world (polarised thinking) is not only common,
it is often emphasised during childhood and teenage years, by our parents, (you are a good
child or a bad child; if you don’t tell the truth you are lying) our teachers (If you
know the ‘right’ answer or do your exercise the ‘correct’ way you
pass; if you can’t do it correctly you fail) and our spiritual leaders (until you are
‘saved’ you are not a true believer; this is the only ‘true’ faith, no
other faith can get you into heaven). It is the very essence of our legal system (either
you are innocent or guilty, if you can prove it you win the case, if you don’t have
the evidence you lose it). Our government and our political parties operate very much within the
limits of polarised thinking, which effectively rules out most opportunities for
compromise or consensus. Most wars are between two sides, each stuck in the same kind of
restricted thinking but polarised in opposing positions with no room to move. (We are
right, they are wrong and we must kill them to prove it). Sports such as football
encourage the same approach to life. Inner Selves Think and Work in Polarity Polarised thinking restricts your freedom RETURN TO

How many times a day do you find yourself thinking,
feeling or talking about something
as if there must be only one or two possible choices or ways to go? For example - Either
I’m a winner or I’m a loser; I can prove I was right, so that proves you are
wrong; to take care of your needs I have to give up on mine; if you can’t be open and
spontaneous (like me) then you are inhibited; I only have two choices, fight or give up;
you are controlled by your feelings and he is controlled by his mind. As you work with
your inner selves and your aware adult, you quickly become conscious that polarised acting
and thinking are sure signs that your vulnerability has been triggered and that some very
powerful inner selves are in charge and ‘driving your bus’ for you.
