The same goes for people like firemen, doctors or paramedics or policemen - they are all doing what they love to do, and probably wouldnt want to do anything other than that. So in a sense, yes they serve others - but they serve themselves in the first place - just like Genghis Khan, Al Capone or your local postman.
Do you agree with this? |
1. Polarization doesn't happen overnight. We all start off our incarnations unpolarized. This means we serve ourself a bit, we serve others a bit, we in general try not to hurt others, and we live our life. We live and learn day to day. Some people slowly polarize, some never polarize. All is as it should be.
2. Joy is not something you attain, it's something you are. To feel joy there is nothing you "do". Mother Teresa didn't help people to feel joy, she felt joy and through that joy was able to help people. Joy is something you feel when energy flows freely through your body. The better the energy flow, the better you feel. I totally disagree that, "She wouldnt have been happy being a stock broker." IMO she would have been joyous as ever, and from that joy would have found a way to serve. It doesn't matter where you put her - she will always be smiling.
She would probably have made a terrible stock broker though and been fired or fail to pass the Series 7 exam, since elated people rarely care to grub around for money. Why should they? They are provided for. An elated person would just as soon give all their money away to someone who really wants it, because the money makes no difference to them.
3. People highly positively polarized don't help others to feel good. They help others because they desire to help others. There is no selfish motive. There is no cortisol feedback mechanism. They aren't doing it for the serotonin. They do it because it is their nature. It is their nature because they feel unity, because they feel universal and unconditional love. Love is not a quid pro quo.
4. People highly negatively polarized find peace through separation. They love their own superiority. Instead of giving themselves freely to the world, they hoard their own abilities and use them only in ways that increase their own abilities. They enslave people and put them to work. Domination is the name of the game. They see the Godhood within themselves and as they polarize they come to work more and more for themselves. This includes empowering themselves at the expense of others, as that is a very effective way to love yourself. A negatively oriented person dehumanizes other beings and closes off his heart chakra from them. He masters the usage of yellow and orange to dominate both individuals and society - these are the source of his strength. From yellow chakra they springboard directly to blue and indigo, avoiding an outward expression of the green chakra.
Since negative polarity reject unity, and unity is fact, eventually they are forced to reconcile to continue their spiritual development. This doesn't mean it's a bad path, it just means that both paths eventually lead to positive polarity, however the reconciliation doesn't happen until the 6th dimension. (Which is eons after this Earthly lifetime)
There IS a difference between negative and positive. In intentions AND in eventual effects. A negatively polarizing person will reach a stage in his evolution where he no longer is able to evolve without directly harming others. This is why there are things such as energy vampires on the astral planes - these are thought forms created by negatively polarized entities to harvest energy that they may dominate and put to their selfish usage. You might last a few years as a negatively polarized person who does no harm, but eventually you will be presented with a choice:
A. Do you harm someone to increase your own power?
B. Do you abstain from harming them, miss the opportunity, and therefore depolarize?
Depolarization is generally not something people are eager to do. Once you start down the path, you may not come back. Although you always have free will. But I think it's very naive to think that cultivating selfishness is not going to lead to hurting others. If you feel the call to improve yourself, why not improve yourself to be of greater service? That is a positive intention and is therefore positively polarized. The people on this forum who talk about how they are darkworkers, are, IMO, actually wanting to be service-to-others. They tend to talk about contributing to humanity and stuff, and show a clear aversion to hurting others, so I strongly doubt that negative polarization is truly what they are after. Be careful what you wish for, because you'll always get it.
