I can appreciate what you are saying, and at one time I would have agreed with you.
However, and it is a big however, I do not believe that way any longer.
Defining things as separate—good/bad, negative/positive—creates a consciousness that recognizes the opposing or conflicting paradigms. With a conscious shift in perception, you can remove yourself from duality. Of course making this shift in perception is easier written than done.
What I’ve noticed, is even setting my intent every day to live with this shift in perception, and being self-aware enough that I can perceive when I am allowing my mindset to exist within duality or separated consciousness, that it makes the horrible things that happen in the world around us, less horrible. It makes the moments of trouble and the life road blocks learning experiences rather than negative ones.
Oh, you can still participate fully in life with all its road blocks and such without having to engage in a separated or dual consciousness that recognizes those instances as negative. Its about living in the world, but not of the world.
If you treat each moment as new and beautiful, no matter what is happening in that moment, then it truly liberates one from engaging in unbalancing dynamics or paradigms.
When independently conscious energetic entities (not separate, but independently conscious) interact with one another, it can create an unbalancing dynamic dependent upon how in tune one is with Ayni (reciprocal exchange) and Munay (dissolving the "I" into "ONE".) The only difference in these independently conscious energetic entities is whether your body can comfortably process them or not. If you cannot comfortably process them, then they can cause your energetic system (and thus your physical system) to become unbalanced.

Hi Thaak,
thank you for writing this...
I moved to a different part of Canada approximetly two years ago. Since that transition, I`ve had difficulty in living in the reality of what you have shared in these words. Nicely explained by the way...
Apparently the environmental influences here have caused a regression in my spiritual growth. I know that your words are true as I had for a period of time, lived this state of consciousness. Nothing threatened me in that time. Negativity can exist everywhere if one chooses to view/label experiences/environments, as negative. The question for me is...when truly living in oneness I became aware, or perceived a situation of isolation, as I felt that i, could not find common ground at times, with family and friends...I know that there must be an error in perception on my part in regard to this realization, but as of yet, I have not been able to define the error..still working on it.
Words and ideas are one thing, but a knowing, feeling, living a reality is another. I`m inclined to move back to where I was, create the same environment and return to the blissful state of oneness. Yet this seems to be lacking truth in an area that I have trouble expressing...Any thoughts Thaak?...

negative energies exist. feeling them or seeing them is believing.
the first time i encountered negative energy was in the house of my mother's tenant. the lady was not eating anything, doctors did not know what was wrong with her. she was not taking any medication also. when i went to see her at the request of her husband,i felt a strange push and i had to literally push myself in after applying dkm, and the hindu symbols of om and swastik and some divine reiki symbols.inside there was a smell of dampness and breathing whas difficult.
i started from the last room. first cleaned by applying ckr with shk on all walls, ceiling and floor, then the corners so as to remove the entire negative energies physically as well as emotionally and mentally. after that i pushed all the negtive energy outwards with a big ckr. did this in the next room also.
what a relief it was thereafter, i could breathe normally and the smell had gone. after that i gave reiki healing to the lady. next day her husband informed that she was passing blood in her urine and he was taking her to a big hospital about 250 km away. they came to see me in the evening and i put a charged green beeds necklace around her neck. she recovered, the doctors gave her some pills for strength and to feel hungry. she married off her son last year. However the green necklace is still around her neck, her husband does not let her remove it.
another time was when i was asked to remove negative energy in someone's house, slowly while doing so, i started having a cold and by the time i had finished, my cold was terible. when i came home and cleaned my nose, i had a slight nose bleed. i have never had this problem before,no high b.p. and it was not summer but winter. hence, other causes were ruled out.
negative energies do not exist till you encounter them, and when you you encounter them then they do definitely exist. the method i had used above is a good way of getting rid of the mild negative energies. if they do not leave then you will have to take the opinion/help of some professionals.

Each environment will have its own collective energy. Sometimes that energy will not be compatible with yours. There is a story that my teacher tells in her book, about a medicine person (forget if its male or female) who was traveling the altiplano (a flat plains about 15,000 feet in the Andes) and came across a village that had been in drought conditions for a long time. So long, in fact, that they were nearly out of water entirely. They were having trouble getting enough fluids themselves, let alone helping their meager crops grow. They asked the medicine person to make it rain. The medicine person requested a sweat tent where they could meditate. They meditated in the sweat tent for 3 days, and then came out. They told the people that it would rain that next day.
It did so, and the people rejoiced. They asked the medicine person why it took so long. The medicine person replied, that the land was so out of balance that he had become out of balance. It took him 3 days to bring himself back into balance. Because medicine people live in that state of oneness, when he brought himself back into balance, he was able to transmit that balance to the land around him. He was able to affect change around himself by becoming the change he wanted to see, through an act of non-doing. The land followed his lead and came into balance, and so it rained.

I was gonna throw this story in, but you beat me to it
however, i read this story in my study of Taoism, or so i thought.... Interesting if i do remember correctly, however i might have come across it while studying the shamanic path of the Inca... not sure hehe been a long time since i read the story.
slightly different wording from the story i remember but identical nonetheless.

Not to mention, before organized religion (and still after in many cultures) the medicine people would get together in the dream time and share despite being completely physically isolated from one another

I did find where i had heard the story, it was in both my reading of taoist material, and C.G.Jung... anyway i found a ref. on the web that is the story i read or almost - i do believe i remember the rain not snow... but then again ?? anyway, here are a few versions:
link1
link2
and also this one:
Carl Jung recounted the following story, told to him by Richard Wilhelm, who lived in China for many years:
p. 419-20 Mysterium Coniunctionis: an Inquiry into the Separation and Synthesis of Psychic Opposites in Alchemy, vol 14 Bollingen Series XX: The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, 2d edition, trans by R.F.C. Hull, Princeton University Press 1976
"There was a great drought where Wilhelm lived; for months there had not been a drop of rain and the situation became catastrophic. The Catholics made processions, the Protestants made prayers, and the Chinese burned joss-sticks and shot off guns to frighten away the demons of the drought, but with no result.
Finally the Chinese said, 'We will fetch the rain-maker.' And from another province a dried up old man appeared. The only thing he asked for was a quiet little house somewhere, and there he locked himself in for three days.
On the fourth day the clouds gathered and there was a great snow-storm at the time of the year when no snow was expected, an unusual amount, and the town was so full of rumours about the wonderful rain-maker that Wilhelm went to ask the man how he did it.
In true European fashion he said: 'They call you the rain-maker; will you tell me how you made the snow?'
And the little Chinese said: 'I did not make the snow; I am not responsible.'
'But what have you done these three days?'
'Oh, I can explain that. I come from another country where things are in order. Here they are out of order; they are not as they should be by the ordinance of heaven. Therefore the whole country is not in Tao, and I also am not in the natural order of things because I am in a disordered country. So I had to wait three days until I was back in Tao and then naturally the rain came.'”
