Edward,
Do you really believe that it is efficient for energy to flow in both directions at the same time? Do you really believe that positive energy and negative energy do not neutralize each other to some degree?

What you are saying is that energy can flow in both directions at the same time. What Steve's point is "Even if it could, it would not be as efficient".

1. Try breathing in and out at the same time...
2. If someone's car is broken down offer assistance as a kind gesture but after you finish ask for $100.

I could give you tons of examples whereby the focus on outflow at a given time and the focus of inflow at a given time but when you cross the two its simply not as effective.

You mention martial arts. Are you thinking offense and defense? When you throw a blow (Positive) or block a blow (Negative) do you not switch between the two? Will your blow be equally as forceful while doing both?

If we look at nature the act of breathing or the tide of the ocean is a perfect example.

The force of the water washing on the shore cannot continue without the swelling back in of the water.

Why does it not rain much in deserts? Because there is not enough inflow of moisture to accumulate.

I am not spending the time to edit this post and I'm sure it could be worded better however, give some examples of where it is as efficient to focus on the negative and positive at the same time when it comes to polarity.

I want to see argument for the other side.
