Apathy vs. Neutrality

Some would say these two words mean the same….but do they?

In war….one would give you life….the other would result in death.

If you want to end a war then both sides must surrender and agree upon a peaceful state of neutrality. If you are apathetic about it then war could continue and you could eventually become a victim of war yourself.

Some would say the word “Neutrality” represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction. On the surface it may appear that way but I say neutrality are NOT the same. Neutrality is NOT indifferent…for it’s aware of the battle and it cares. Apathy sees the battle but it does not care nor does it hold any convictions. Neutrality conviction is to learn how to accept “What Is” and not react out of fear or aggression. Apathy is motivated by fear. Therefore it chooses denial and indifference to protect itself.

To be Neutral requires one to awaken….to be courageous…to raise your consciousness and open you heart and accept the truth. To do so…you must turn all the fear within your heart into the wisdom of love.

Neutrality recognizes the positive and negative force…it sees and understands how each plays their role. But Neutrality’s conviction is to hold onto peace and yet NOT judge or take sides with in the battle…instead let the battle fulfill its purpose….knowing that the end will result in peace.

How do you know the battle will end in peace? All of creation emanates from peace.

Therefore Neutrality puts its trust in the divine order of all things.

Neutrality’s intention is to bring about peace. It sees the big picture. Its purpose is to bring balance in the tension between the two opposing polls of positive and negative. If you choose to fight against the negative then you are giving power to it. The battle rages within the tension brought about when the two forces oppose one another.

But by holding on to the consciousness of peace through neutrality you will send forth vibrations into the universe which will bring about peace. You do this by recognizing the oneness of all things…then you produce healing by asking for forgiveness on behalf of the battle and give thanks for it. Forgiveness and gratitude is the key to Neutrality.

Jesus said, “May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.” John 14:27
