can't it all work out while having "dueling" polarizations?
If I understand you correctly, you're basically saying you want to do well for yourself, but also try to help others at the same time. But that according to a theory someone has written this approach would be problematic.

My answer to you is that the voice you should be paying most attention to in your spiritual journey is your own inner voice.

Spiritual accroutements such as this theory are useful if they help people to find their inner light. But relied upon too much, they may very well become the obstacle to the very thing you seek.

Goethe said "Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live." What do you think about the problem you stated? Do you think you can achieve both at the same time? I venture that nobody here can answer that better than you can for yourself.

A thousand pardons if my tone seems a tad preachy, but I just came back from seeing the movie Ghostrider. I feel ready to drink napalm and spit hellfire (or at the very least to moderately toast some marshmallows). Growl.
