I was well-versed in polarity before reading about Steve.
It's an old idea, but most good ideas are.
The major difference between polarity as I know it, and Pavlina Polarity, is characterising darkwork as fear-based rather than love-of-self based. The other major difference is the statement that darkworkers don't harm others while pursuing selfish goals. There is a lot more symmetry to my understanding of polarity, which IMO makes it simpler and easier to understand and use. And more accurate.
Besides those things Steve's interpretation fits with my own. There is still a lot of stuff that Steve has not yet covered, and there is just a boatload of symmetry in the universe that relates to polarity. But knowing about it is truly academic - living it is the real virtue - and you don't need to know it consciously in order to live it.
I agree with JHL that intelligence is overrated. Faith is underrated. The ability to look at the mystery of universe and see beauty is the fundamental quality of grace and divinity. All one must do to reach their potential is look to that mystery in silent reverence. It will only be complicated if you make it complicated. There is no "doing" required, as we were not put here to do. We were put here to "be" and so never be dissatisfied with "just being".
As you lighten yourself, you lighten the world. Existence itself is a soothing balm for every ailment.
