Yep. but when I (and most, I think) speak of motivation, we speak of that 'polarization coloring' itself. Motivation is not something else. The 'uncolored' is an action, a deed, an empty goal (such as getting money - that can be for improving power or service, money is an empty concept in itself.)

Am I trying to get ahead thinking, once I get it my life will be extra super amazing? Or that there's no way to say it since it's beyond words - usually I can get things that are beyond words. That mixing polarities produces difficulties to growth but meanwhile to understand how to be polarized is undescribable. |
I think you've just gotten too caught up in the smaller words, and in trying to reconcile the two sides. Maybe try feeling some extremes, something syndrome-like, to get a basic, lower-level, beginner's grasp on it - sadistic glee and people in deep submission to you, greed at hoarding a big fortune. Or be all humble and service and doing everything to give to others. Do these in your
imagination, mind you,
not in action
once you've grasped the basic feeling, you can begin to see the higher levels of it, and imagine how it acts in higher levels of consciousness, when it's very clear and aware and wise.
I hope you'll read my response to you in the other thread:
For Love of Evil (Blog)
When you're motivated about something, look within to see where that motivation comes from.
When you look at others to try and see where they are coming from, look to how you think they are feeling. I find this fairly easy to do with movies - those that deal with bigger/broader themes than interhuman relationships. And
not comedies/humor. Try not to over-intellectualize, that's where the pain lies, I've found. Use emotional knowledge, and try to look to the personal words spoken to discover somebody's motivation, and don't try to put them into a polarization box in just one or two scenes. Also realize that people in movies typically jump back and forth between polarizations, don't stick one person to one polarization through it all. But they usually have one major one they rely most on, too.
Oh, and once you've polarized, your life
will be extra super amazing
but you can lead a joyous life without it. There just might be limits to both it's level of bliss and speed in raising your consciousness.
When you feel really great and motivated - that's one polarity or the other.
