Perhaps there is some fundamental difference between the polarities of love vs. fear and the polarities of attraction vs. separation (or even the polarity of giving vs. recieving)? They seem like they might all be the same thing, but perhaps they are not?

For example, giving and recieving can both be elements of love, and they can also be elements of fear. Similarly, one can be alone (separation) and together (attraction) in a loving way or in a fearful way (flight and fight, respectively).

So maybe it would be clearer to say that it's good (effective) to alternate between the polarity of giving and recieving, and it's good to alternate between the polarity of attraction and separation, but it's not so good (effective) to alternate between the polarity of love and fear. (It may be clearer, but it's also more of a mouthful!)

Oh, and remember, the whole point of George Lucas's epic myth was to show that love wins out in the end! Luke and Vader's love for each other saves the Galaxy and Vader himself, and you'll note that only the ghosts of the guys who died while they were embracing the light side of the force got to stick around for the celebratory campfire...

Peace, Love, and Bicycles,
Turtle
