Our consciousness is like a radio: we can tune into any frequency, from the sublime to the depraved. And if we want to be happy, it makes sense to tune into the happy station. If it were useful for us to encounter or experience the type of negativity posted on that site, it would have been presented to us as catalyst in our own lives. What our eyes see, our consciousness swallows. I prefer to not intentionally swallow s**t.
Now, this is a distinct scenario from, say, going to a disaster-stricken area or working for the EMS and seeing the horrors associated with that. The difference is that, in those cases, you'd actually be able to help. Even then, it would be vital to make sure one is able to do so with love, without getting dragged down and overwhelmed by it.
Inner peace is required to find love, and love is needed to serve this planet on the most meaningful level, and also in order to polarize.
If we intentionally look for things that interfere with that peace, whether it's porn or atrocities, it's not helping us or others.
I think the main difference here is from focusing on something and rejecting something because its considered negative. If we want to be happy sure we can tune into the happy station but to do without listening to our own negative station is to put our heads into ignorance. Likewise you can listen to the negative station in a balanced and even loving way, allowing one to see the full expression of the individual psyche.
By consciously looking at our own shadow self and the collective shadow of the planet, we are in fact healing it with a loving thought. The real negativity is the rejection of catalyst which isn't helpful for polarization.
