Have you ever heard of energy vortices? Many people claim that such places exist on Earth and are considered to be magical places where people can not only capture the present energy, but also use it to empower their faculties, heal illnesses and open up to other realms of existence.
One aspect of the energy vortices that I do not fully understand, or at least find very difficult to believe, is the concept of the polarity of energy that becomes manifest in such places.
In my opinion, those who claim the existence of these invisible energetic vortices, want to give it a scientific and physical appearance since there are different physical manifestations where energy divergence occurs. For instance, in the magnetism there is always a positiv and negative pole. Equally, such an energetic difference can been seen in the electricity.
In addition, there is another argument from the hermetic tradition which is the law of polarity contained in the book of the Kybalion. This principle states that in everything that exists there are two opposites. Everything is double, everything has two poles; the opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree.
However, there is one point in the law of opposites that caught my attention. In the Kybalion it is stated that antagonists are identical but different in degree. For me this is very revealing, since it supports without apparent contradiction the Platonic thesis that evil does not exist. Evil is then a lack of good or the lowest possible degree of good.
It can be considered as in esoteric circles that this lack of good and therefore of reality, could be a form of powerful energy that can be dangerous and cause harm. From my point of view, we can agree on this, as long as we assume evil to be an appearance of reality. Otherwise, we will have to accept the idea of evil, which implies the destruction of the Platonic realm of ideas.
