Hi wolfgang,

I've been reading all the new posts about polarity and light/darkworking, and have been particularly interested in the ones that are trying to clarify it ~ understand it, make sense of it ~ such as yours and impaul99's.

The thing that doesn't fit for me is this: it is not a tool for ascending the scale of consciousness. It is nothing more than a bone for the ego to chew on. Polarization is to be transcended on the path to enlightenment.

Now, what do I know about enlightenment? Nothing. I am far from being enlightened. But I am enjoying more and more (clock) time simply Being.

The more I learn about spirituality (and manifesting, for that matter), the more I see "darkworking" as prolonging attachment to the world of form (perpetuating the mind/ego attempts at control). This was my first thought when reading the first article on polarizing, so I kept my mind open to other possibilites ~ that I was missing something crucial. But I keep returning to the same conclusions. That it goes against what I'm learning (from Tolle, Joseph Campbell, Chopra et al) and experiencing (in meditation).

Since the first blog post, we've learned that both polarities lead to the same place of enlightenment, that at the highest level the two are essentially one. That's where it gets interesting. And for me, where it simply dissolves into semantics, with little practical application.

We're dealing with a moving target with this whole concept. Steve is still honing it, and probably getting a big hand from you guys and the rest of this board. So, the model is changing from blog post to blog post.

I think the most important aspect of this entire "argument" is to truthfully consider what Steve asks, along the lines of: "if you haven't considered both polarities, you haven't - and won't polarize." This forced me to examine what I thought was my opposite tendancy, "darkworking." And I found much of what I do can be put in that category... Then ask, "how does this really effect my ascention up the consciousness scale?" (if that is your aim). And, "how does this really help my mastery of manifesting?" (if that is your aim). This is really the ony beneficial thing to come from this model so far... but the jury is still out on how this improves ones life and the life of the planet.
