Yes, I can understand your version and, without ever having heard of the terms or concept of polarity or polarizing to one side or the other, I have been aware of the two sides and striving all my life for the one I think is right, and yet, I would never tell anyone I am "polarizing" or claim to be "polarizing".
Actually, you have helped me understand this now - at least your version of it
. It seems to be something that is reflected in religions, which is what I originally thought. Love-of-self vs. love-of-God or of the neighbor.
I still don't know about the possibility of "polarizing" so that you are perpetually 100% in one of those states and never in the other. And when I think about what Steve writes on polarity and "lightwork" and "darkwork", I'm not sure he really means what you mean with polarity and the two sides. I also see proof that he is not 100% polarized to love either...as he says he is...I know signs of love and I know what it feels like and that is what I aspire to, and I know he is not how I am aspiring to be, so something somewhere is amiss.
