I have a totally different view on polarization. In my view, a fear based approach accomplishes nothing but destruction. Self-Love and World-Love, in balance, is in my opinion the path towards enlightenment. Why? Because once you go up the levels of enlightenment, the lines blur as to where Self end and World begins. Meaning, on a large enough scale, you will realize that one day that in order to have your best interests at heart, you have to have the world's best interests at heart.

Meaning, every cause has an effect, and it always comes home. Indirectly, eventually, everything someone "out there" does affects you. If there is a nuclear explosion somewhere in the world, it affects me. If there is an oil spill, it affects me, etc. Just because we don't see the effects of something yet, doesn't mean they're not there.

Anyway... my suggestion is this....ignore Polarity.
