BiPolar means two directions.
Bi signifies two and polarity determines direction. In a three dimensional reality, there are always opposing directions of polarity and there is always a choice of direction.
The paradox of this duality is that neither choice is ideal. The ideal choice in a three dimensional reality is the third way. The third way is always the balance between two extremes of emotional intensity.
BiPolar becomes a disorder when the intensity of opposing emotional states of being is extremely depressed or extremely euphoric. The feelings of emotion swing between extremely disempowered with underwhelming depression or extremely overpowering with either too positive overwhelm or too negative frustration.
This extreme control drama alternates between an intensely intimidating villain and the victim hood of being a poor me.
Depression is the experience of extremely unpleasant meekness and wrath is the intolerance & frustration of one’s own extreme anger. The duality of a biPolar condition can cause mood swings between depressed meekness and angry wrath. This is the same vibrational energy being expressed in opposing directions of polarity because of opposing genders of emotional power. The wrath of the Male intimidator is at war with the meekness of the Female poor me as an expression of our own inner conflict.
The irony of a biPolar condition is that both extremes are a negative tragedy with no perception of a positive comedy. The ability to laugh at this tragic situation is absent.
A biPolar condition can swing between positive & negative mental polarities, of feeling really high or feeling really low, or swing between two opposing emotional genders, which are believed to be really bad or really wrong.
Suppressing negative emotional power causes depression and expressing negative emotion forcefully, causes powerfully intolerant anger. Being trapped between the two is a debilitating scenario. Expressing anger in a controlled way is a third choice. Managing anger reduces its intensity to impatience. Fury is intense anger and impatience is less intense than anger. Reducing the intensity of fury to anger to impatience allows the possibility of developing positive patience. Negative Male impatience combined with positive Female patience creates a united balance of inner peace without inner conflict.
The third choice between wrath & meekness is the approval of our own self esteem that neutralises our inner conflict, so that we are no longer at war with ourself. With the value of my own confidence, I no longer need to control other people or be controlled by other people. In self control of my own chosen polarity, I approve of my own balanced choices.
Overcoming the duality of bi-polarity requires the mental cause to be individually identified. Anger, depression & euphoria are all an emotional effect of a mental cause. The cause of every emotional effect, or the negative affect of an emotional state of being, is a negative or limiting belief. An intensely negative conviction causes an intensely negative emotional feeling. Too many intensely negative beliefs cause depression. Anger is a sub-conscious reaction and euphoria is an ungrounded super-conscious response to that depression.
A balanced third way out of the duality of a biPolar condition is to give up the turmoil, trauma & tragedy of the drama of negative emotional states of being, caused by our own conflicting beliefs.
