To be honest I find the idea of polarity a bit odd. I walk the path of both. I serve others to serve myself and I serve myself to serve others. Its ironic that I refer to the yin yang symbol and yet I do believe it has some elements of truth to it. Both are necessary and both are unique. Its in the unmelded vision of the darkwalker and lightwalker combined that we find the wholeness of this concept.
At the heart of it I suppose I would still be a lightwalker. Yet... If my life is a cup of water then I can only give till I run out of water. If I take until I personally overflow and do not share back what I received then I waste that water and drain others. So I choose to give out as much as I receive. I keep my cup full and share back the excess with others.
So why go to one extreme or the other? I see all of this as one giant circle with the directions of North, East, South, West. We all start mixed and a blur at the West side. To the North you find the lightwalker syndrome. To the South, the darkwalker syndrome. To the East is the perfect blend of giving and receiving. The road down the path that is neither north nor south is a difficult road to be sure. And yet I believe that by walking east and adjusting my give and take as I learn will be a better, more wholesome path than the one that heads for northeast (lightwalker syndrome) first and then southeast to reach due east and the one that heads for southeast (darkwalker syndrome) first and then northeast to reach due east.
