With dual realities, or dimensions, in other words, any dimension that has a sense of existence as "I" that is separate from the environment or other "I"s, there is a very strict law of Energy Exchange.

This energy exchange is basically that when someone gives something that is part of themselves, such as time, a service, product or space, to someone else, the other person has to return the energy in the form which is useful to the first person in an equal amount of what was originally given.

So what happens if this energy exchange does not take place?

Duality is a dirty word in the circles of Enlightenment and  Oneness.  We strive to move past duality and into Oneness, integrating all without judgment.

However, the thought of integrating light and dark, "good" and "bad", male and female, is rather hard to conceive.  They are so different, so "opposite" to each other.  We tend to take sides.

Often when I speak to people about integrating "dark" into Oneness, they see it as an "absorption" of the darkness into the light.  But the reality of it is that this is not so.  Oneness doesn't have sides. It is not "light".  It is complete.  It doesn't have either light or dark, it is not non-duality.

I was working with Lucia Rene this weekend, leader of our time and author of Unplugging the Patriarchy, a book which, if you have not read it yet, I strongly suggest you get immediately.  If I could set a study course for this year, this book would certainly be an essential component of the curriculum.

In this book she explains the nature of the change which is happening right now and will anchor in 2012, including how roles have been reversed for the last 5000 years and how this has meant a huge shutting down of the Heart Chakra, which is where men are naturally centered.

Last week, I found myself in a rather painful place.   For the previous month, I had been getting very acute pain in my lower back, at the level of the Sacral Chakra.  Waking up like this, I would lie down, meditate, allow the pain to grow and engulf me, express to me, and the pain would pass, or sometimes be bearable.  At times it would disappear.  Almost like nothing every happened.
