How to Neutralize Polarities

Below are the purely technical aspects of working with polarities. The procedure for neutralizing polarities using the “Merge” processor is extremely simple.

Take any pair from the list of polarities. For example — “Love — Hate.” Sequentially say (either aloud or silently — it makes no fundamental difference) the word “Love,” then the word “Hate,” and then the word “Merge.” The cycle “Love — Hate — Merge” is repeated until a yawn occurs or up to ten times. After that, you can move on to the next pair of polarities or return to your normal activities.

At the initial stage of working with a specific pair, it can be useful not to limit yourself to mechanical repetition, but to briefly register the subjective content of each polarity. In this example, this means noticing what exactly “love” means to you: which emotions, thoughts, or bodily sensations are associated with it. Then do the same for “hate.” After that, say the word “Merge.”

This is not a required condition. The neutralization process will occur even with fully mechanical execution. However, initial awareness of the content of the polarities usually accelerates integration and increases overall effectiveness. At the same time, there are polarities — especially abstract or philosophical ones — that are difficult to “feel” clearly. If that is the case, it is not a problem; the work can still continue.

Some practitioners prefer to perform the “Merge” not until yawning or a fixed number of repetitions, but until a subjective sense of neutralization appears. This approach may take from a few minutes to significantly longer, or may not produce a noticeable effect at all — depending on individual differences. Possible sensations vary: sometimes there is an understanding that both polarities are conditional mental constructs; sometimes there is a sense of their functional unity.

It is important to emphasize that such subjective effects are neither required nor indicative. They do not accelerate the actual integration of changes and do not affect the final result. In practical terms, these are just side effects. Regardless of whether immediate subjective neutralization occurs or not, the process happens anyway — either quickly or with some delay. What matters in practice is not the immediate effect, but the cumulative result and changes in real behavior and perception, not internal “special effects.”

When working with polarities of the form “I and someone/something” (for example, “I and my mother”), the same principle is used. The phrase “I and my mother — Merge” is repeated until a yawn occurs or up to ten repetitions. More detailed aspects of using the “Merge” processor in the context of relationships with other people or objects will be covered in later chapters.

There is also a simpler option — an automatic polarity processor available after registering on the website. You can upload a list of polarities and run the process without direct involvement. However, it is strongly not recommended to use the automatic version until at least two-thirds of the list has been processed manually.

Manual work in the first phase is fundamentally important. It builds baseline sensitivity to the process and lays the foundation for further work. Neglecting this stage, especially at the beginning, often leads to reduced effectiveness in later phases.
