The HOLLY principle embodies divine all encompassing love, the love that maintains this world and is greater than human reason. This love, this highest energy quality, through which and in which we all live, is the greatest healing power, and the strongest motive force.

Acknowledgement, involvement and empathy are expressed by the person in a positive Holly state. Such an attitude contributes great influence to all of the positive events in life.

Negation, separation and hatred become expressed if the Holly power fails to gain acceptance. In contact with persons of a materialistic, self centred and unspiritual perspective and exposed to many challenges, the person will have to come to terms with the issue of sustaining positive Holly in the midst of negativity.

Maintaining reverance and receiving grace with a compassionate heart, all others are seen as friendly neighbours.

Intolerance, selfishness, rejection and paranoia are felt by the person who has fallen away from reverance and who has rejected grace. The desire for the Holly love is part of one's personal spirit. When we are in the negative Holly state, our Personal Spirit will strive to regain the power of Holly love.

Every balanced identity wants to give love and receive love from its birth. If the social environment rejects or persistently denies its giving (fails to acknowledge) and fails to offer and provide love for it to receive, it will experience frustration to the point of despair and turn from reverance and God. Our Ego (personal) will turn to aggressiveness and Super Ego (social) will turn to rationalization and excuse in the negative Holly state.

Love twisted into the negative becomes expressed as jealously, revenge, hatred, envy, resentment and malice. These may be expressed either openly or unconsciously. Open expressions of negative Holly make take the form of anxiety and irritation expressed through unfounded agrumentation and through misdirected anger and blaming. Unconsciously expressed this may lead to recurrent forms of chronic illness including hypochrondria, hysteria and disturbed patterns of digestion and elimination.

Acknowledging our fears, insecurities and frustrations can assist us in avoiding a focus on them which will shut out our Higher Self and provide a negative Holly perspective. Recognizing our insecurities, ignorance and failures enables us to recognize what we can benefit from by improving on. Insecurities can be replaced by our regaining accurate access to our Higher Self. Ignorance can be replaced by the answers we receive from our Higher Self. Failures will be averted by following the Guidance received to our questions.

Envy is widespread throughout any commercial culture.
It spreads to envelop the religious, self development, educational and relationship spheres of our lives. Comparisons are continually encouraged through advertising, prideful display, gossip and a desire to indentify with others who demonstrate greater possession of things and greater access to public fame and privileged power. People who are seeking to expand their awareness of the spiritual and their accurate access to Spiritual Guidance will often feel a separation, in their earlier efforts, from the acceptance so directly and simply gained from following the materialist ideal that has dominated them before.

Feeling like a bird released from a cage, anxieties and insecurities may distract and distort one's awareness and skill in the spiritual sphere and encourage one to be strongly attracted back to the illusion of security offered by the materialism ideal that commands that you are only as good as how much you have (quantity). Recognizing the power of God's Love (quality) and the Grace of God's Forgiveness (quality), a person in the positive Holly state remains strong and focused in their Mission despite the lack of acceptance, lack of encouragement and lack of acknowledgement from those who have surrendered to the commercial ideal of quantity.

One may feel the loss of membership in groups which have a big house, expensive cars, fashionable clothes, expensive jewellery, frequent social engagements, exotic vacations, privileged placement and acknowledged authority. The discernment required by the spiritual initiate is that the choice of quality requires a limitation of quantity.

Thankfulness for the necessities of a balanced, focused and rewarding lifestyle is expressed by those with a positive Holly perspective. Those who choose to follow Spiritual Guidance will find that the transition from the commonly accepted materialist ideal to a balanced perspective with a spiritual guideline mediating one's involvement in the material will neither be brief nor easy. As they gain personal experience of the benefits of choosing to acknowledge the Guidance they receive and the decisions indicated as best for them, their inner strength will grow.

Persons who have a strong Personal Spirit which harmonizes and mentors their other identity factors will live a life of confident involvement, action and restraint. It is important to realize that one's Personal Spirit can only be as strong as the acknowledgement and acceptance given it by the Ego, Super Ego, Reptilian Structure (Unconscious) and Basic Personality of the individual. When one or more of these are frustrated, fearful or grief stricken about the direction indicated to be taken by Spiritual Guidance, it (they) will raise their defensiveness and rejection and weaken the Personal Spirit by encouraging the negative Holly perspecitive.

A person who is sharing and concerned for others and radiates the strength of the Love they receive from God, is a person in the positive Holly state. This certainty of acceptance and caring felt within enables them to acknowledge love received from others without feeling any necessity to possess or control the other person nor any fear of losing that acceptance through the expression of the individuality of the other person. In this way, the humble acknowledgement of one's own limitations enables one to take pleasure in the appreciation others afford them.

It is human for one's Ego (personal values/needs) to feel concern, frustration, and even rejection from time to time when those whom they feel close to either do not, or appear not to, appreciate and acknowledge them. This may be a result of a misunderstanding of the immediate focus of the other person who may be addressing decisions and options which are temporary yet personally significant. The other person may be distracted from personal interaction by their choice to ask for and receive Spiritual Guidance, or, responsibilities which they have chosen in the business or social areas may be demanding their attention.

Jealousy, possessiveness, and anger will arise when the negative expression of the Holly principle of Divine Love is encouraged by an expectation that one is not good enough or has done something wrong to justify the lack of attention demanded from one or more other persons. Envy for the attention being directed elsewhere, the person in the negative Holly state may try to attract that attention to themselves by offering assistance insincerely, complaining, becoming angry, or trying to sabotage the efforts of the person they feel abandoned by.

The expression of the Holly principle is either supportive and protective of us or sabotaging to us depending upon our awareness, acceptance, and acknowledgement of the Grace and Love always available from God by Spiritual Guidance through our Higher Selves. Only the Love of God can provide us with an eternal ever-present strong spiritual foundation which provides us with hope and optimism in spite of our own errors and mistakes and the misunderstanding, interference, conflict, rejection, and abandonment we may feel from other individuals as well as the institutions in our or others cultures.

We often emotionally sabotage our desires in the negative Holly state. If we are compassionate and empathic to others and humble of our own efforts, we will raise less defensiveness and aggression from others than if we assume the negative Holly attitudes of imposing, demanding, and perfectionism --- in which we assume authority over others and a prideful and resentful separateness from them.

The Holly state is mostly expressed in an unconscious manner and takes on a background influence. The behavior expressed is often indirect. It is how we address the world and reality around us. In the positive, it is our spiritual Gift. In the negative, it is our hidden agenda. In the positive, we unexpectedly receive respect and acknowledgement. In the negative, others seek to distance themselves from our negativity and abusiveness of their individuality. How we express the Holy principle will contribute to our health or illness as we cope with the changing resources and influences which enter our lives daily.

As an unconscious state, the Holly principle is encouraged in the positive or negative by the family, religion, political system, culture, social group, business environment, and professional affiliation we are placed into and choose to maintain a membership in. Those which express a negative Holly state will traumatize us with Holly energy blocks before we reach age 2. The patterns of attitude and behavior that surround us will be imprinted as the norms of status quo acceptance, and, in positive or negative form, will only become clear when we enter, or are exposed to, the alternate reality.

What you choose today will determine your tomorrow.
You cannot choose your parents of heritage or the direction taken by the institutions which impose and interact with your life, in the present. You can release your energy blocks, become aware of your imprinting, adopt skills which encourage positive Holly expression, create a positive Holly environment, and avoid and limit your involvement in negative Holly states. You can chose. That hourly choice will determine the degree of love you feel and can express, the calm you have from inner strength, the harmony you encourage through compassion, empathy, humility, patience, reverence, and assertiveness.

Activities which encourage a positive Holly state include these:

• Asking for, receiving, and following Spiritual Guidance;
• Volunteer work that assists others to build their self-esteem;
• Meditative forms of Tai Chi, Yoga, Intimacy, Prayer;
• Political (group) involvement that promotes Justice;
• Personal, interpersonal, and ecological awareness.
