Again, I'd recommend everyone to take my post with a grain of salt.
Well technically speaking, to the New Age philosophy, polarization *is* the biggest deal not just in personal development but in our existence here on this earth
As in, we come here to earth for one reason - to polarize. Our lives consist of stuff that gives us the opportunities to choose a polarity.
So according to certain people/systems, polarization is not just the most important aspect of personal development, it is literally _the_ reason we exist.
As far as you not hearing about it before, that isn't suprising since humans have very sophisticated brains that know how to block stuff out which the consious mind is not ready to believe. I mean we've all hear myriad crazy theories about all kinds of crazy things in our lives, and typically we dismiss them extremely quickly without any thought. This is just another crazy theory isn't it?
If you take a look at all major religions and keep an eye out for the distortions they've experienced, all religions also are about polarization. The "good" religions such as Christianity, Islam and Buddhism acting with positive polarity and then you have a few fairly secret ("occult") religions acting with negative polarity. You'll have heard of some of these - like Church of Satan by Anton LeVey - but many of these you'll probably never hear of since occult by definition means secret.
Anyway I'm just throwing these ideas out for you to grab onto if you like the sound of them. If you think long and hard enough you can consiously reach interesing (and related) logical conclusions, but most people who follow these paths tend to do it through intuitive approaches rather than logical, and so the world is not cognizant of its own behaviour. (And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, as far as I can tell.)
