Luckily there's an infinite amount of intelligence out there to know what is best for us. We just won't "know" conceptually.

Polarization seems to massively oversimplify life into two categories - is this best for me or everybody else? In every situation we can never know which is best, or what balance of each is best. No matter how we "define" best we will never know what best is. Its like defining God. Minds can't comprehend it.

Polarization seems like an attempt for your intellect to create system of thought to govern your life. Maybe it's time to ask whether your mind has taken you as far as it can take you?
You're absolutely right. The reason I know this is because I've been working with a spiritual coach on exactly this point. Intellect only takes you so far (Level of Reason). Now comes the time to start trusting your feelings and your spirit Steve, not just your intellect.

I've been making really good progress with my coach over the last 2 months and that's basically what we've been working on - teaching me to really trust my true self, my spirit and my feelings.

On the path towards enlightenment, there comes a time where the intellect has to be left at the door. It doesn't happen overnight, but it is the process of starting to really trust "source" to guide you, even if you don't intellectually understand what's happening yet.
