  Hmmm, neutrality sounds a bit dull to me! Maybe I am just addicted to drama... ; )
  
  I think we are here to experience life in all its shades, the full spectrum. In my view, it is actually a spectrum, rather than Light vs Dark. They are just the extreme ends of a continuum. Polarity is part of the 3D illusion.
  
  My mantra these days is 'integrate'. Instead of resisting the 'Dark", I aim to integrate and transmute it with my "Light" if that makes sense!
  
  Just my two cents : )

    Conducive - as in it conducts. Metals are conducive to electricity, long walks in the cold are conducive to deep thoughts.
    Embellish - to elaborate upon or decorate, modify.
    Distilled from my epiphany - gleaned from my musings.

    *applauds*
    
    This is a great response and I agree with you 100%!!
    I don't see the value in 'rejecting' the "dark" as we have lessons to learn from everywhere. Sometimes our teachers will be the people/experiences we least expect. By constantly resisting or rejecting an aspect of ourselves or others we are actually just prolonging the learning process and making our lessons harder and harder to learn.

      I think you might be misunderstanding a little. The Point of Neutrality does not necessarily involve 'resisting' the dark or the light, so much as realizing that they are the same thing and that they cannot have an effect on you if you do not allow them to.

        My reply was actually more in relation to what Merryn said about resisting the dark, and not actually in response to the OP.
        
        I have no opinion on the "point on neutrality"

        The point of neutrality is one wel known to me. I am most of he time in it. It does have the name of being dull but it is far from that. It is something i came back with after i had my first NDE, now i live almost constantely in neutrality as to events and opinions or dramas going on around me or in the world. There seems to be a knowing that alows me just to watch without getting involved or taking sides. That does not take away that i can have a opinion of something it just seems to transparent into something else as soon as i do have a opinion, and gives me a bigger picture of what is going on.On a deeper level i do understand the big picture but on the level of thoughts and words i can not find the right ones to explain it. So neutrality is far from boring it is a way of being that is more amazing than the drama either it be dark or light.

          And Cedric's is by far a better explanation than I could form, surely. A knowing of the bigger picture is something I'm quite familiar with. I have a strong resistance to using third dimensional terms for multi-dimensional subjects, but it really is a higher understanding. Would you say that your NDE took away your fear of death? Because after I came to peace (and even a whimsical anticipation) with the idea, neutrality started to make a lot more sense. I'm thinking that is the barrier that a lot of people are still operating under.

            Let's say i never feared death to begin with, this is one of the reasons i did get 2 NDE's. But now after the NDE's there is a knowing that is more profound, i say more profound because i had it already but it didn't make sense to me, especialy because of al the religious learnings i went through as a kid. After my first NDE the whole religious thing went to pieces, and started me on a quest to understand more. From this point on i had al kinds of experiences and read books at a rate of 5 a day for at least 8 years. I think the reading was just a kind of confirmation ritual for things i knew, because nothing i read was new to me at that point. The neutrality mode is something that came gradually and with a bit of help from Zen reading and the Dalai Lama. Things were shown to me on their level that is most interesting, and to long to write down in this discussion. As for dreams i agree that it is not important to know the whole dream but to get the message it brings.
