Polarity and goal achievement

[ericabiz]

I admit I haven't read all of the forum threads on polarity, but I have read all of Steve's blogs on the matter. I had a conversation with one of my spirit guides, Julia, about polarity, and here is what she said.

Polarity helps you achieve larger goals. (She emphasized the word "achieve"; polarity doesn't help you set larger goals because anyone can set large goals. It's achieving them that requires being polarized.)

I asked Julia to give me some examples of goals that don't require polarity to achieve. Immediately she said "Becoming a millionaire." This is borne out by my personal experience as well. I know lots of people who are or have been millionaires who are not polarized.

She explained that "becoming a millionaire" is an example of a goal that only describes the person who has the goal. Polarized goals, she explained, are goals that have a significant impact on the world. For instance, taking on the goal to solve hunger in the world would require an extreme amount of polarization. The bigger the goal is, and the more people it impacts on a significant level, the more polarized you must be to achieve it (not set it!)

My goal of becoming a motivational speaker, in and of itself, does not require polarization. But if I make the goal to personally affect for better the lives of 1,000,000 people in my lifetime, that requires a significant polarization. It's also important to note that she mentioned that these really huge goals can be achieved by polarizing either direction. You can polarize with fear (edit: I agree with impaul99 that this should say "polarize as a darkworker"), become one of the richest people in the world, and then quit your job and personally run a foundation that helps millions of people because you have realized an opportunity in the market -- that is, that most foundations are run very poorly, you have a chance to run one a lot better, and incidentally you are also helping millions of people.

The reason most people don't polarize is because they don't need to. They don't set goals large enough to require it. There is a small subset of the population, however, that does set huge goals and then discovers that they must polarize to achieve them. I asked Julia for some more examples of goals that require polarization:

1) Becoming a famous Hollywood actor
2) Becoming a billionaire (disclaimer: this is today; with inflation this may not be the case in our lifetimes)
3) Becoming a world leader who touches the lives of thousands or millions of others in a strong way
4) Most goals that involve you being remembered after your life in a significant historical fashion by hundreds of thousands of other people

There are many non-polarized people out there whom most would see as successful: millionaires; business owners; CEOs of large companies; sports figures. The difference between those who are polarized and those who are not is simply the size of their goals. You can be the CEO of a $100M company and not be polarized. But if you want to affect the lives of millions of others, you must polarize.

Hope this clarifies for you as much as it did for me.

that's a handy spirit guides you got there

I guess I don't agree with your spirit guide.

Did you ask or did your guide say anything about what polarization is? One must be polarized to acheive big results on goals,ok. Then all the better for smal goals - small goals with polarity would just pop! right? But, what is it to be polarized? And did the guide say, watch out for these side effects of poarlizing one way or the other?

Thanks for the advice! One of my goals is on the polarization list - now does it matter which way we polarize for any of the goals?

Good insight from your higher self. Below are my comments.

In the case of a WORLDWorker (Lightworker) polarization, I would agree, but wouldn't a SELFWorker (Darkworker) polarization result in a significant impact on the individual, not the world?

You can polarize with fear, become one of the richest people in the world,

This is where Steve's definitions fail us I think. You can see my thread on better definitions if you want, but don't you mean that you can polarize with SELF Love rather than fear? I just don't see a highly fearful individual becoming one of the richest people in the world. I CAN see a highly SELF motivated individual who loves himself a lot becoming rich though.

If I could ask for a favor, could you read my thread on re-defining the definitions of Darkworker/Lightworker, and with the progress we've made on clarifying the terms, could you go back to your spirit guide for further guidance? I think that would help us all out.

Thanks!

Julia is dead on.

In fact, what led me to the idea of polarization in the first place was thinking about what sort of motivation would be required to achieve some massively impactful goals on a global scale. If you only care about local issues or if you want help a few people here and there, yourself included, you don't need to polarize. But if you want to have a tremendously positive impact that will spin the world off its axis or if want to acquire a truly insane amount of power for yourself, then polarization is essential.

If you want to achieve a goal that requires a massive lifelong commitment, polarization is the process by which you get all your ducks in a row, facing the same direction, so that all parts of your life work together as an integrated, coordinated whole. Your health, your finances, your relationships, your career -- all are placed in service to a greater cause, a cause which becomes your magnificent obsession.

[Theo77]

I guess I misunderstood. My bad. I thought you were saying those careers you listed can only be achieved by a lightworker.

BTW, I think your spirit guide is actually you. That's just my opinion on spirit guides. But People are actually way smarter than they think or can accept, but by having a spirit guide they kind of split off, and still be the concept they have of themselves, yet have access to highr knowledge.

That's interesting that you initially didn't think you got it but your spirit guide did.

Just my personal theory. Now that I read your post again I agree with Julia too.

Your significant impact on yourself as an individual would then lead to an impact on the world if you were that far polarized. It has to, because the farther polarized you are, the more people's lives you affect.

This is where Steve's definitions fail us I think. You can see my thread on better definitions if you want, but don't you mean that you can polarize with SELF Love rather than fear? I just don't see a highly fearful individual becoming one of the richest people in the world.

Point taken, and this is a good addendum to my post.

Well...a bit offtopic...but Julia is not me. She's a real person who last lived in the 1500s, and has trained to become a spirit guide. (Interesting side note: I have also been a spirit guide to others at other times in this world.) She has a distinctly different appearance from me and thinks about things differently than I do. I often lean on her hard for insight, but she's pretty patient.

My higher self has a "spirit name" of Jaekin and I don't really talk with her as I do Julia or my other spirit guides, but when I am really "in the flow" I can merge and view her thoughts and feelings as my own, and access everything she can.

My higher self taught me another thing about polarity that I will throw in here because I think those of you who are exploring polarity might find this interesting. I discovered this a couple weeks ago. Basically, think of polarity on a scale of -10 to 10, where most people hover around 0 (non-polarized). If you get up to 10 (or in rare cases even higher), or all the way down to -10, you have access to the faculties of both polarizations at that highest level. In other words, a -10 polarity can do everything a +10 polarity can and vice versa. That's why as you polarize, you become stronger at both, but must choose one as primary...and you can't get all the way to 10/-10 without choosing a primary polarization. But when you get all the way up there, you have access to both at that level.

Crazy to me, but I was at that highest level for about 15 minutes during a quite revealing meditation and "merged" with my higher self, and I knew I had access to all powers across the entire spectrum. I guess that's the best way of explaining polarity: as you get farther, the spectrum of what you can do opens wider...on both sides.

[Theo77]

interesting!

So Slashchick, I get that if you polarized completely in that meditation, you where enlightend then..
And that means that full polarization = enlightenment = higher self = god. Correct?

What is your usual daily level? Reason or Love?

PS: If you don't know about the levels, read "Levels of consciousness" by Steve. He said that polarizing means going up on this scale.
