Personal notes on consciousness, beliefs, and daily practice—what I’m testing, learning, and keeping.

Planetary Polarity Attunement

By Curtis Matthews

This planetary polarity attunement is inspired by a visualization exercise described in the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, a metaphysical text that explores human consciousness and planetary energy.

The intention of this practice is to align more consciously with the Earth’s energy field, tuning the body and mind to its natural rhythm. Some people report a sense of grounding, calm, and inner balance from doing it regularly. I treat it as a spiritual practice and a way of reconnecting with the planet beneath my feet.

Steps to Practice Planetary Polarity Attunement

1. Find your orientation

Use a compass (the one on your phone is fine) to locate the exact north–south direction. Lie flat on your back with your body aligned north–south and your head pointing toward the south.

2. Relax and connect

Allow your body to relax completely. Let your breathing settle into a natural rhythm.

Imagine yourself sinking into oneness with the surface beneath you. Let that feeling extend deeper and deeper, until you sense yourself as part of the Earth itself—supported, held, and connected.

3. Visualize the planet

Now picture the Earth as a vast sphere floating in space, slowly spinning on its axis.

See your body resting on the surface as the planet turns, and feel yourself gently rotating with it. There’s no strain or effort—just an easy awareness that you and the Earth are moving together.

4. Energize the lower body (head to the south)

With your head still pointing south and your feet pointing north, bring your attention to the lower part of your body.

Imagine the lower half of your body energizing like the magnetized end of a compass needle pointing north. Feel the energy building from your feet up through your legs, hips, and into your lower torso.

Focus on your lower chakras—root, sacral, solar plexus, and heart—allowing them to awaken, strengthen, and balance. Stay in this position for about five minutes, or longer if it feels comfortable.

5. Reverse your position (head to the north)

After about five minutes, slowly roll to your side and turn your body so that your head now faces north and your feet face south.

Once you’re settled, bring your awareness to the upper half of your body—from the heart up through the throat, third eye, and crown.

Visualize this upper region energizing, clearing, and aligning, as if your awareness is now the magnetized end of the compass pointing north. Remain here for another five minutes, or longer if that feels right.

6. Integrate and close

When you feel complete, roll gently onto your side and sit up slowly. Take a few breaths with your feet planted on the ground.

Notice any changes in your body—maybe more calm, more grounded, or more “plugged in” to the Earth beneath you. There’s no right or wrong; the practice is simply an invitation to deepen your connection with the planet and your own energy field.

Over time, returning to this attunement can support a steadier inner balance and a stronger sense of being in sync with the world around you.

Note: This is a personal spiritual exercise inspired by esoteric texts, not a medical treatment. Always listen to your body, move within your limits, and consult a medical professional for any health concerns.

  • Abraham Hicks: Emotional checks, gratitude, visualizations.
  • Emerald Tablets: Reflection on maxims, study of Hermetic texts.

Shared Themes

  • Consciousness as foundation of reality
  • Spiritual evolution over lifetimes
  • Nonphysical wisdom and guidance
  • Free will and self-empowerment
  • Inner alignment for external change

Notable Differences

  • Law of One: Cosmic unity, spiritual densities, polarity (service to others/self).
  • Seth: Psychological empowerment and belief-centered creation.
  • Abraham Hicks: Practical law of attraction, focus on feeling good.
  • Emerald Tablets: Hermetic mysteries, symbolic language, ancient wisdom.

Practical Applications

For Beginners:

  • Start with Abraham Hicks for accessible motivation.
  • Explore Seth Material for deeper insight into beliefs and reality creation.
  • Law of One offers a structured cosmic cosmology.
  • Emerald Tablets provide mythic and Hermetic wisdom context.

Reflection Questions

  • Which teaching resonates most: cosmic unity, personal responsibility, or law of attraction?
  • Do you prefer structured spiritual frameworks or open symbolic guidance?
  • How can these teachings empower your current spiritual growth?

Conclusion

Each work opens a unique window into mystery and consciousness, but all converge on the importance of self-awareness,
spiritual evolution, and personal empowerment. Whether drawn to cosmic metaphysics, psychological creation, practical manifestation, or ancient wisdom,
these teachings offer complementary paths for seekers today.

Rasta climbing a coconut tree in Trinidad

Rasta Wisdom: Life Lessons from Trinidad’s Coconut Trees

A Lesson from a Rasta in Trinidad

When I was young in Trinidad, a Rasta stepped onto our property. He wore nothing but a loincloth, his long dreadlocks and beard flowing as he carried a cutlass in hand. I was terrified and hid behind my father. The Rasta approached one of our coconut trees and climbed it with ease. He picked a few coconuts, letting them drop to the ground at the base of the tree.

Once he descended, he took his cutlass and sliced open a coconut, drinking the fresh water inside. He handed one to my father and offered me one too, but I was too scared to accept. After my father finished drinking the coconut water, he returned it to the Rasta. With skill, the Rasta split the coconut open and fashioned a scoop from part of the shell, allowing my father to eat the soft jelly inside. When he was done, the Rasta took a few coconuts for himself and left a couple behind for us.

I turned to my father, confused and upset. “How can this Rasta just come onto our property and take our coconuts?” I asked. My father looked at me and said, “Curtis, the Rastas believe God put everything on this earth for everyone. We couldn’t climb that tree to get the coconuts, but he could—and he shared them with us.”

That moment taught me a profound lesson: God didn’t create borders. God made this world abundant, with more than enough for everyone. It’s man who changed the rules.

The Takeaway: This encounter with the Rasta, rooted in my Trinidadian upbringing, challenged my young mind’s ideas about property and borders. My father’s words offered a gentle yet profound shift in perspective—one that resonates far beyond that moment. Whether you see it as God’s design or nature’s gift, the world was made abundant, and it’s human rules that draw lines and create scarcity. This simple story carries a big heart, inviting us to rethink sharing, community, and what truly belongs to us all.
