On Being Neutral

I am a Libran and I am always looking to balance things out in my life. In exploring what was not in balance in my life presently, something very interesting emerged. I noticed that it was my 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 of how imbalanced things were that actually opened up a new relationship to 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

What if our judgements are showing us the 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝒃𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 toward neutrality?

Neutrality is that beautiful sweet spot where we can feel deeply present to whatever is happening in our reality without trying to balance things out. It is not about trying to see both sides. It is not about bypassing the judgement about either side. It is not about being OK with what is happening. Yet, it is coming to a place of Peace with what is in front of you.

Its an arrival point.

In my process of unravelling judgements about balance, I inquired into my freedom.

I want Freedom, not enslavement.

However, it is from acknowledging how enslaved I am, that I realised what I wanted was Freedom. Which brings some semblance of Balance to my life as a Libran.

𝗔𝗡𝗗 when I acknowledged how my judgement of Enslavement meant that Freedom would balance things out, I could see that Freedom and Enslavement were both part of the same spectrum in this case! This revelation created an opportunity for me to no longer seek Freedom 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 Enslavement. And this was where Neutrality emerged.

In that sweet neutral spot, a peaceful fluidity emerged that transcended both Freedom and Enslavement to a new experience of Liberation. For I truly could not experience liberation whilst holding a judgement about freedom over enslavement.

So for this Libran woman, my scales lead me to one beautiful sacred container of all experiences, the good the bad the ugly all held in reverence, held in Peace, in the sweet spot of Neutrality.
