As Truefire, mentioned, it seemed fairly obvious to me too what the darkside is and what Steve was talking about. Maybe its harder to grasp for people that are more analytical. Because Its about energy. Its more of a right brain type concept than linguistic/analytical.

So I'll try to explain how I understand it and what polarization would mean.

Over the years, I've come to think of things in terms of energy. How things feel, not in terms of emotion, but in terms of how energy associated with a thing feels. Different things, people, concepts, places, animals have different energy signatures.

Light and dark is one way to catogerize different types of energy. It seems to be the case that mixing these two energies together acts to dilute them.

I think what it is, is that if you have a tendency toward the dark polarity, mixing in light polarity oriented things feels yucky. It feels like guilt manipulation. Darkworkers are more aware of power relationships I think.

So I think what happens is, that if you are unpolarized, you end up being more easily manipulated by guilt. You allow yourself to be manipulated by guilt because you feel if you don't then that makes you a bad person.

I think polarization clarifies things makes them more pure. Gets rid of all the "should's" and the guilt.

Here are some things I associate with Dark polarity. It doesn't mean you have to embody all these things this is just free association basically:

Getting rich.
Getting strong.
Winning.
Pride.
independance.
GQ
Exclusivity
type A personality


If you go to a magazine rack. You might be able to pick up different kinds of energies from different ones. Some cater more to darkworkers. Really a lot of them do. In a more dark magazine, the ads will be really dark. Now in a magazine with kind of a dark feel, you wouldn't all of a sudden see an add employing some type of hokey sentimentality. I mean that's how it would look.

So I think polarization is about distilling these various energies. I think the main advantage is you stop lying to yourself. If you want to be rich and earn respect and buy really nice things and be accepted into exclusive groups, you don't have to tell yourself, your main motivation for making money is to help starving children in the third world.

As far as doing things to help people day to day, to me that is just part of being social. But I think once you are really underway, there is less lag time, more focused action.
self reliance.
