Who will Polarize?

[Akashic_Librarian]

This is a serious question, for serious people. Who will actually consciously Polarize? If so what Polarization, and why?

[AndyMartin]

Nobody who wants to polarize will polarize.

Think about it: if your desire is for polarity, you will not polarize.

The concept of polarity is just a postmodern dharma, and like all dharmas it has no self-existence. It's a model for understanding and working with an aspect of the incarnate self, but it is not something that actually exists. Desiring or striving to attain something that does not exist is futile action.

So if your desire is for polarity, you will not polarize. You actually, from the deepest place, have to be compelled to follow that path and live the "dharma" of that polarity.

But since we're in the spirituality forum, the question is whether polarization is the end of the story. I don't think it is. What is missing is what the whole picture looks like when you realize that light and dark are the same thing. "Lightworker" and "darkworker" are two sides of the same side of the coin: Which is the desire to choose a path for an effective life that appeals to a particular moral aesthetic. Or in other words, the desire to choose a path that one can feel is the right path for the individual. But what's the other side of that coin?

It's the next stage of the evolutionary trajectory of consciousness itself. We've attained the ability to transcend the moral judgment of selfishness and selflessness, but that's not the end of the enlightenment road. In fact, polarization is not an enlightenment path at all; it's an approach for personal effectiveness within a particular context.

So if you are concerned about polarization, you won't polarize.

If are urgently concerned about providing for your own desires or the needs of the collective, then you may polarize. And, according to Steve, it's a good idea.

But if you are critically concerned with the emergence of consciousness into a new stage of development (ie the moving target of enlightenment), then polarization won't even enter into the discussion.

This is a serious question, for serious people.

In the teachings I work from and the reality I know, polarity is a form of denial. It is taking two things that are separate manifestations and then giving them a relationship that does not exist, but we pretend it is fact. Typically it is a relationship of opposites. (love/fear, dark/light)

In my own transformational practice I have been identifying where I create polarity in my life. I haven't figured out what to do with this awareness yet, but knowing when I'm using it seems to create more space for self to get in and move in my experience. Creating more polarity is not part of the plan.

In Steve's Polarity model it looks like the idea of the heart and the idea of the will are being put into polarity as well as the self (separation). I won't do that. I'm on a completely different track.

I am not consciously polarizing, but instead becoming more focused on my main goals in life. I have decided that is the most logical path for me to take.

I began channelling from my higher self some thoughts on polarity last night, leading me to form my current belief system that although polarity is important in that it allows you to make a conscious decision to polarize, it is in fact an illusion of the mind, and I believe you are in fact already polarized with destiny. I believe we have free will, but this 'free' will serves our greatest good, thus serving all of humanity. I believe it to be an illusion that we have 'free' will and see it that everybody, at the right time, in the right place, is doing the right thing, so that our planet will ascend. We ARE. And so we BE.

"We are but the instrument of heaven. Our work is not design, but destiny." *Owen Meredith

I believe God, source, higher-self (insert label) is YOU and you are following, for better a description; a cookie trail that YOU created when you made the conscious decision to begin this journey. When you find a cookie, its a perfect moment of perfect synchronicity, the rest of the time you are looking for these cookies and when you find more of them in a shorter space of time, you become aware that you are well on the cookie trail... walking the path of your higher purpose, fulfilling your destiny.

So currently, I guess you could say I'm a cookie monster wandering around my inter-net, matrix, world, universe... in search of those cookies, and as I continue along my trail, I learn more and more about cookie tracking. As I learn more, more cookies magickally appear and the process becomes faster, gentler, easier, and more enjoyable and the rewards, or cookies, become a lot more frequent.

There’s a saying that you become what you eat. When this happens, I guess I would be enlightened with an awareness of wholeness... but my journey would continue, with a heightened sense of self... At first it might seem a little awkward to move, being a cookie… but then if you turn on your side, you could always roll with the flow of life and let that higher intelligence direct you

I forgot to mention that I LOVE cookies... and there is my illusory polarity. What would be the point if I didn't like them?

I thought this excerpt from Sean Stewart's "Yoda: Dark Rendezvous" was relevant:

Hello everyone! I am honoured to post this, my first on the board. Hello to Steve and Erin! The energy you both radiate is wonderful!

I am definitely polarizing in the Lightworker sense! I am grateful for this concept, Steve! I see how it is a key that is perfect for me at this time. I'm new to the site and forum. I've been working my way through podcasts and articles for the better part of the past week. For many years, I've been on the path of consciously recovering my sense of wholeness, with the intent to catalyze others in the re-cognition of their own wholeness, as per the greatest good in such situations.

I am used to the term polarization in the psychological sense, in terms of polarized thinking, referring to duality thinking. Particularly in terms of people who are rigid in their thinking rather than realistic. Usually this rigid sense of polarized thinking is caused by unresolved emotional issues beneath the surface that corrupts one's ability to perceive.

You use the term polarization in a very different context, Steve, and it's right up my alley! I've spent many years healing and progressing in the name of vibrant health and wholeness. I've learned to balance out my energy and to respond to situations as they are. I've learned the principles necessary to overcome duality thinking and yet, the process has entailed becoming very balanced. This balance itself is not conducive to optimizing REAL-ization of my dreams and potential in terms of external manifestation. This is because I've been focused on "self" and "other" at different times, in balance, which has led to a calm, balanced outlet of mySelf. I am now ready to release the illusory split between self/other in all of my endeavors, which of course, works efficiently within the subjective view of reality, in harmonic concert with the LoA. By making this inner shift, I feel all my energy aligned, potentiated, and purposeful. I feel awakened and activated! How invigorating!

I love that I can be balanced, whole and harmonious, and yet I can use the vehicle of polarization in this sense to outlet the visions I have within and that are yet to manifest. I am very excited! I feel the potential at my fingertips, ready to wield by the magic wand of my attention! Great stuff! Peace and Love to all.
