Best, based not on some intellectual model, but best based on whatever fills you up with joy from spirit in that moment. If you trully connect to true self, it's not difficult to know what "best" is in that moment, without even having to engage your intellectual (ego) self. |
"surrender and serve" sounds like love-polarized. "Joy from spirit" also sounds like a description of a feeling of love.
I've discovered that the feelings of the two polarities tell me more than my intellect. For example, when I first tried imagining myself as darkworker, intellectually, I had darkworker syndrome. So I didn't understand why I felt motivated as darkworker to share my ideas, to tell others how to become good darkworkers, and why I liked seeing power in others. The intellectual understanding came later - they more power they have, the greater I make them, the more they can give to me. Think business partners.
Love-polarized works with inner feelings of gratitude, love, and a kind of humbleness. When someone leaning towards love fills themselves up with those feelings, and act and think in accordance with them and in what makes them stronger, they are being more and more givingly loving, giving to themselves too. Filling themselves up with Spirit and service.
It's true, when you are connected, you don't need to use your intellect - the mind *is* smaller. You naturally feel motivated *and* guided, beyond what your intellect now comprehends, as I gave an example of with my darkworker motivation. Both polarities have this, it just feels different.
