The work of the International School of Spiritual Psychology is rooted in the teachings of the Danish Spiritual Healer Bob Moore. Here, we extract parts of the book Conversations with Bob Moore, to share his insights on the difference
How does male/female polarity actually work, as a background for creation, for growth between people and for growth within people?
WE CAN FIND that the movement of energy in the negative structure, – and I am using this term ‘negative’ now analogous to how it is used in electricity, where we have the movement of energy back to the source through the negative pole – can clearly be seen as the movement in the female. And I repeat: I am using the word negative here, not as a description of something of lesser worth, but as a description of a structure necessary for allowing the positive, the male structure, to be expressed. In courses when I use electricity as an example, I try to have people understand that the negative cable is not connected to the switch, it is going right to the source, it is for the return of energy which is not used. Whereas the positive cable is only functioning and light is only coming

These structures show themselves in so many ways connected to life. When we look at the negative and positive structures in life – again taking this out of the ‘no-good’ and ‘good’ sense – we have the chance to learn something important: The negative structure forms the necessary connection to depth or to life-force or God-force – whichever term you wish to use – and is established through the female. In connecting to the female, the male structure is bringing in the aspects of creating or expressing. You really cannot look at this combination as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but you can look at it as a complementary situation, which is needed in all sort of areas. I mean, you are not going to say that an electric installation is ‘negative’ in the sense of being worthless or of no use, if you do not use the switch to turn on the light. The installation is still there, it still can be used.
We are talking about things here, where we use energy as the common denominator. But energy – as it seems to me – is becoming an escape word for many things, which people cannot explain otherwise. I think we have got to start to reach a depth of appreciating what life is. We can use what we see around people to try to understand this, where, if we look at energy or what we are calling energy around people, we can learn a tremendous lot from it. But one big problem up to the present is – as to my feeling – that people are too involved with their own ego, too involved in wanting to create sensational things, using words which are often meaning nothing. So it is necessary to understand what we are talking about when we talk about energy in connection with development, what it consists of, how we get into it as a reality, and what we do with it if we get into it, what its purpose is. Many people want something for themselves and are not really concerned with the sharing aspect. They may talk a lot about sharing, and many do that nowadays, but the question is: How many people really do wish to share, how many wish to connect to create an atmosphere from which they can experience and learn about energy, which really means learning about themselves. You know, people always want to go outside to look at another person or to see or try to understand another person. They do not want to come back to understand themselves. I believe this is where many problems lie. The Pope was saying on TV when I watched him: People cannot escape. And here I fully agree with him. People cannot escape from themselves. They try to do it in all sorts of ways, but they will never succeed.
Next: Can you give more examples of the difference between man-made and natural polarity?
