To try to return to oneness by serving others means your really trying to help yourself as much as serving others, your trying to fulfill your own need for oneness by giving. To speak of oneness and to say that using polarity is necessary to achieve it makes no sense to me. Giving up opposites or polarities is what oneness is. In either polarity the object is the self. |
I agree that both polarities are essentially helping all, since all is one.
However one polarity is consciously striving for unity while the other is consciously striving for separation.
Technically speaking positive polarity is the "one" polarity while negative polarity is a free-will distortion of the original thought. Both positive and negative polarity "work" as far as spiritual development is concerned, but eventually negatively polarized entities willingly convert to positive because they learn that All is One and One includes "others".
There may be "other" polarities that "work". I don't know. But the only two I've heard of that fit with me are negative and positive. There very well could be others, I'm hardly an expert.
