91. Fight Or Flight
Fight or flight has been a concept/theme that I’ve been working through lately. For me, I feel I’m always in a constant state of “fight”. So what is fight, anyway? Since fight or flight can be chalked up tp duality, theoretically one or the other would be matched with “love or fear” or perhaps “expansion or contraction”. But is one or the other particularly bad or good? It’s hard to say. I think it’s simply a matter of context and situation.
We often times assume that fighting is an action, or even fighting words. But it can be anything which is resistant. Rejection, denial, etc. And flight is theoretically the opposite. Although we often times think that flight is simply running away, I would argue that it’s chalked up to a receptivity of “letting things happen”. Perhaps, theoretically, there’s some peace with “flight”. However, I think depending on your own unique perception value, and your experiences in this lifetime, you may make a case that either could be both. Since to me, fight feels like more of “contraction”, or in other words, tow parts coming together, then it would also be aligned with divine masculine energy. Which hypothetically makes sense, as war is primarily more involved with men’s thinking and actions. We could hypothetically imagine that divine feminine is wrapped up with flight.
So how do these actions really affect us? Consider quite literally anything that we do, or anything that affects us. Do we deal with it head on? Do we relinquish or release it? Do we go toe to toe in battle? What is essentially, our approach? Consider that fight means that we cling on to something for dear life, and hardly let it go, while flight is all letting go, and no clinging whatsoever. Perhaps this fight sentiment can actually create change from a contraction point of view (in other words, two things rearranging themselves to create change) while flight creates change from literally creating it out of nothing from the universe through forward motion and expansion. Just as in concepts of contraction and expansion, both are required to “create change”.
So are there specific times where fight or flight is better or worse? It depends. I would argue that if there is a serious unstable threat which needs resolving, fight is likely required in order to retain the energetic trajectory of the threat, or simply transmute it so that it remains unthreatening. However if the threat is insignificant or minor, it’s better to “flight”, so that more positive energy is created, thus sort of drowning out the negative vibration of said threat. Perhaps it’s the bigger or the lesser the threat. Perhaps it’s your ability to relinquish or stop the threat.
So how can you do this in your own life? Perhaps it’s intuition regarding perspective. If it’s something so great, it likely needs fighting. You would likely never want to flight from something which may overtake your own life or soul. But if it’s insignificant, giving in to the issue or demand is likely better for all people or things involved. Consider it like a singular stream of consciousness that you have. Would you disrupt it so severely or greatly, potentially poising yourself at a low vibration for another threat? Or do you simply retain your energetic source and save up that energy for much more of a threat?
The issue with our physical reality is that we may be conditioned to believe that certain things are threats, while others are not. This is why it’s really important to have life-cycle cognition and intuition. Understanding not only where you exist in the world of others, but also where you exist at a certain point and place in time. If you have big and grand dreams for the future, it’s likely that some things which seem like mountains, are actually mole hills. But if you feel that you are the best that you are and the best that you can be (which isn’t true of course, we all have ability to change), perhaps everything that happens to you is a huge deal.
It could be that those who put up “fights” for many things are nervous or insecure for their future, or again, are non-believers in their destiny. Or perhaps those who are constantly in flight are also disconnected, believing in something which may or may not happen. Always ladder up your problems and challenges to your “end result” to understand what is truly of value regarding fight or flight.
