Polarization is the process by which you come to understand what "best" truly means.

How do we define best? Best for whom? For you personally? For me? For your immediate family? For your comany? For your country? For all human beings? For all life? For consciousness itself?

And best from what positional perspective? From your own perspective? From mine? From that of an impartial observer? From God's?

And best from what time perspective? Best for this moment? For today? For this year? For this lifetime? For a millenium? For all human existence? For eternity?

And best from what state? From a depressed state? From a calm and rational state? From a loving state? From an angry state? From a generous state?

And best from what level of consciousness? From fear? From courage? From neutrality? From reason? From peace? From enlightenment?

And surrender to what? To your present emotional state? To your current impulse? To your parents' expectations? To your boss' demands? To higher reason? To the collective will? To your current conditioning? To your beliefs? To your religion? To God?

Try to define what best really is -- I mean really make a serious effort of it -- and you'll run smack dab into the heart of the issues that polarization deals with.

How can we possibly do what is best until we've defined what best really means?
