Thank you for another great article, this one contributed to me and made me protest at the same time, which is good, but could be a sign of still being neutral and not yet polarized
.
The current metaphor that came to my mind to clarify the polarization idea is a "U"-shaped crater with one slope being white, one being black and a ball at the bottom (which can be one of your intentions or you yourself). With a final goal to push the ball as high as possible (reach the maximum potential), you can push it one direction or the other, but it's better to push it one way(without changing the direction), otherwise you take a risk to be always near the bottom. Work you are doing is a work against gravity, a force which already holds all the energy and potential and which itself doesn't have any color. The difference is that when you push along the white slope you always see under your feet "white" ground, no matter whether you are standing in one place, working hard to get higher or moving down, as a result of your reduced intention.
The question is: Is it our consciousness which should decide which polarity to choose (which way to move) or is there some innate or acquired disposition to one or another? It's obvious that no matter what, we can choose both, but if there is disposition and I choose the wrong one, wouldn't I feel incongruent with it and wouldn't it be harder to polarize for me then (is it harder to push the ball one way, than the other)?
I quite agree that most readers of this blog tend to choose the love, inflow side, I tend to believe myself that in World the disposition is also in favor of light side, but it's hard to confirm for sure because for example in WoW the number of people who choose light and dark races is pretty much the same. Well anyway my personal feeling is that modern society with its capitalistic and consumeristic ideals push people towards the dark/fear side: you get education, then you get your job/duty/responsibility, you get paid for this, for earned money you get goods and services, and you get, get and so on and so forth. Seems like the modern society eagerly needs these darkworkers and does it best to enforce basic masses to use the inflow pattern, making it easier to achieve and leaving the outflow pattern as a hard, long-term and more complicated goal.
