Hm... Thinking about it a little bit more... I think that polarization may help a bit to get out of the real low levels of consciousness (though I think you could get out of there many other ways). Of course, an angry person controls an apathic person. But if you use polarization to get to pride, that's the point where it stops working, get too polarized at medium states and you end up like Jeff Skilling, from Enron, swallowed by your own sense of pride.

Still, rather than polarize, I'd use my own levels of consciousness to push me up. You push your fears and get to desire, you push your desire and get to anger, you use your anger, and get to pride, you question your pride and step on courage... I see polarization as killing flies with missiles. It may be strong for some, but it seems to be highly inefficient. I'd rather have the strenght of the missile and the accuracy of a scalpel. If it's meant to go up your consciousness, I still think it's more limiting than empowering.
