Emotional polarization is one of the main causes of internal oscillation, when a person is tossed between opposing states. Why this happens, how the collective field affects us, and how to return to a state of inner balance — we’ll explore in this article.
We usually say that emotions are our past. When you’ve accepted your past and yourself in the past, you stop experiencing emotions and shift into feeling.
But there are still states when a wave of powerlessness washes over you, a victim state, a desire to give up everything and run away. It’s as if you’re swinging between these two poles.
This is especially noticeable when there are no triggering situations in your life. Everything is fine in your relationships, everything is fine at work, yet you keep oscillating.
As one of our course participants wrote: “I hadn’t been in this state for years, and suddenly it surfaced from nowhere.” And here you need to be very careful, because many people confuse the cause with the fact that something happened afterward, trying to connect things that don’t belong together.
Why mental and emotional polarization occurs
Shifting the assembly point and finding inner balance
Who among you has gone through a shift in the assembly point?
I remember it well — I was 30, going through some series of Michelle Eloff activations. I remember how that assembly point, the inner center, was located in the solar plexus, where it is for most people. It was pleasant to read in the channelings that the center of power was moving to the heart center.
At that time, I lost my sense of physical balance, and this process lasted about 10 years, even though I’d never had balance issues before.
And now we’re going through a search for inner balance, and it can go in two directions: either in the realm of emotions or in the realm of thoughts.
And since the new balance hasn’t been found yet, you’re swinging like a pendulum from side to side.
Emotions are always about duality. You can enter a state of unity — or what’s called unified consciousness — only when you’ve balanced the two extremes, essentially achieving equilibrium where you’re being tossed around.
Examples of polarization
In the Telegram channel, I notice massive intensifications around the topic of polarization.
Some people take what’s written in a book they’ve read far too personally, to the point where they’re ready to go into battle if they see a differing opinion. Someone else’s opinion that differs from theirs is perceived as a threat, as hostility.
But it’s just information. Here it’s written one way, and here — another way. Everyone is assembling their own worldview. But why identify with some information you read somewhere, whose author you’re not?
This is how this oscillation, this polarization, manifests — so that you can finally arrive at a sense of balance.
It matters what you believe, what you read, what you know, but clinging to it to the very end is impossible. In the end, you’ll still have to admit that you don’t know what you don’t know, and there’s an enormous amount of that.
For some, this division, this split, this duality exists between duty and personal desires. For others, it’s between career and family. These are serious matters — here I love, here I hate.
How do we find our own center of balance? How do we bring it into equilibrium? We all crave simple answers, yet we live in such a complex world.
And because these answers aren’t tied to anyone else, that’s precisely where the immense complexity and difficulty lie. No answer from another person will ever satisfy you, no matter how long you search. We are all different.
The Transition Between Levels of Consciousness
The Emotional Trap — Connecting to the Collective Field
Many of you are in the midst of transitioning from one level of consciousness to another. This requires letting go of a lot, making adjustments, and it all comes down to this balance that isn’t present everywhere.
And where it’s absent, all these polarities rise up so that you can see them, become aware of them, and hopefully do something about them.
It’s easy to fall into a trap here. You’ve probably noticed that when you’re emotionally unbalanced, your solar plexus churns intensely.
In that moment, you connect to the collective field of consciousness of people whose emotions dominate and drive them.
Any state can be a trigger here: for some it’s aggression, for others it’s fear, for others it’s anxiety. It doesn’t matter which form it takes — in that moment, it’s as if you fall into this pool of emotions that people are swimming in.
The only way out is to find your own point of equilibrium, to acknowledge the duality — that everything has two poles.
Most of the time, we focus on just one option. But here, we need to expand these spectrums and imagine a vast number of possibilities.
Or, at the very least, start acknowledging: “Right now I only see two options, but I’m open to the possibility that there could be a dozen more — I just can’t see them yet.” This alone helps you expand, to step beyond the confines of the world picture, the little cup you’re living in.

Mindfulness and Emotional Management
At first, everyone experiences emotional ups and downs. Then there’s a shift to the mind, the mental realm, and you begin to manage your emotions. This is one of the outcomes of mindfulness or self-development.
You understand that this emotion — negative, destructive — will have consequences. And it’s the mind’s function to see the consequences of your choices, your decisions, and the steps you didn’t take. You start to see the cause-and-effect connection.
We encounter this in everyday life, plain and simple.
If you’re the only one in your household and you don’t stock the fridge, you’ll come home from work in the evening to find it empty, with nothing to eat. Through daily life, especially when children come along, we arrive at this — the functions of analysis and reflection kick in.
Even if it’s not required at work at all, it still kicks in, and as a result you try to choose: react or not react, engage or not engage. In this way, you use your analytical abilities to manage your states.
Ideally, you’ve found the root cause of all triggers and untangled everything, but even if you haven’t untangled it, at least you already have some control.
But when the reins of control are in the hands of the mind, it has one tricky pitfall — you need to understand the “why.” The mind doesn’t know how to operate in a state of not understanding.
And you dive into reflections and interpretations, where all our deviations and logical fallacies appear, when we try to connect the unconnectable, instead of switching to synthesis.

How to Step Out of the Collective Emotional and Mental Field
The main thing is to find a center of balance within yourself. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re seeking it in emotions, trying to balance them out, or wanting to see the causes.
There is a passive way to step out of the collective emotional field — visit your personal Pyramid of Light and Power to cleanse your emotional and mental bodies. You can do this at night until you feel that it has “let go.”
Here, you don’t even need to look for causes.
If your polarization is happening on a mental level, where you’re ready to fight almost to the death over every thought, it means the stage of disidentification from others’ ideas and opinions lies ahead.
This stage is powerful and difficult, when you disidentify from your own personality and lose all your familiar reference points. And it’s better to enter it consciously, rather than when the urge strikes.
The practice of creating your personal Pyramid of Light and Power is included in the free introductory course “Basic Tools of Transformation.” Log in with your username in the Keys of Mastery Learning Center. And if you don’t have an account yet, create one.
