Polarizing brings more decisions to conscious awareness -- you begin to ask, "Which option aligns with my polarity?" This makes it possible to align more of those decisions in a consistent direction (the direction of choice), such that a strong current begins to build.

Before polarizing, people invariably make lots of decisions that cancel each other out. As soon as they start building some momentum, they turn around and erase it. They try to be selfish, but as soon as it starts working, they hold back. They try to be giving, but as soon as that starts working, they pull back again. They live like yo-yos, thinking that balance between the extremes is the correct choice. It isn't. Balance means no current.

Although I have a problem with the labels of Lightworker and Darkworker what you are saying about aligning polarity is sooo true.

This yo-yo behavior really does keep most people from succeeding.

I can see a lot of people knocking your recent posts. Even if you never created another post in your entire life you have already created so much value. I think that we all go through phases in our lives....

The problem that most people have with LW and DW is that its hard to keep the context while discussing the subject. The context of intent versus life course versus specific action... With the intensity that people are for or against the concept you have to know that you are on to something...

I think you are brave and I admire your courage and your ability to deal with the spotlight.
