Interesting that Ra decided to use the magnet to demonstrate the concept of polarity, while you decide to use the compass. And when I explained above how the polarity of a magnet actually works, you choose to ignore it. :idea:
But, yes, the purpose of the compass is to determine the underlying direction of the earth's magnetic field, so that one may come into alignment with it. Question: How did the compass point become polarized in the first place?
Quote:85.11 you may see that the service-to-self choice is one which denies the very center of the spectrum
Sorry bud, many, many of us can see.:idea:
You aren't responding to my point. There is no difference between the non-polarized "light of harvestable quality" of an entity which polarizes on the positive path, than on the negative path.
There is a difference in the two paths. The difference being that the negative path denies green-ray catalyst, as you pointed out.
Quote:Free will of course allows you to choose not to see. With 4D, 5D, and 6D tools and guidance available, why ignore it all?
I never said to ignore higher-density tools and guidance. I do question what would be the purpose of assigning polarity values to other entities, if it were possible, other than to aggrandize the ego and inflate one's sense of self-importance. But to each his own; It's all catalyst, anyway.
Quote:What you call zealots go against the grain, yet many are polarized positive, and almost none are polarized negative. Pretty much the only polarized negative entities run the world, giving us our core religious beliefs and schooling institutions.
LOL- no. That is what -you- are calling a zealot. I would characterize a zealot as an extreme idealist who takes the attitude of "my way or the highway" and seeks to force their chosen ideals upon everybody else.
In contrast to idealism is pragmatism. Doing what is practical, and what works. That's why I would classify Jesus as a pragmatist, and definitely not a zealot.
According to the definition of "zealot" that I have selected, most of the "negatively polarized entities" you describe above are the zealots. Occasionally, entities decide that the proper way to counteract this nagatively-oriented zealotry is with positively-oriented zealotry. Given enough time and awareness they will invariably find that this methodology isn't effective.
What is effective is to have compassion for these "negatively polarized" entities, and to do the inner work necessary to balance overzealousness.
That's fine if we have different definitions of "zealot". But I will go with the dictionary definition:
Quote:zeal·ot

Quote:A common mistake is to think that "going with the flow" is the same as "getting in the flow". A positive polarized entity that gets in the flow is given the power to help others (showing us more options/choices), while a negative polarized entity is given the power to control others (removing options/choices). Just "going with the flow" is following the path of least resistance and is not polarizing at all. Following the routine habits and addictions can be "going with the flow".
Yes, I agree with what you are saying here. But that's not what I was referring to by "going with the flow." What I was referring to is alignment with the bias of our Logos- which is toward the positive path.
Quote:Another method of viewing polarities might involve the concept of radiation/absorption. That which is positive is radiant; that which is negative is absorbent.
Yes. This is where I got the "counterrotating spirals" analogy from. If there were two counterrotating spirals in the ground, the clockwise one would appear to be "radiant" while the counterclockwise one would appear to be "absorbent."
Quote:Within the analogy, as all is one, it is impossible to judge anything. And so there is no choiceto be made. Yet, some of us are here to place importance on choice, and we will continue the game
Then, let me know when you tire of playing games. I get the feeling our views really aren't all that different, except for that you might find a thorough review of how magnets become polarized to be revealing. Other than that, it appears you are just being argumentative with me, for some unknown reason.
Quote:Isn't it interesting that compass is part of the word compassion?
Yes, that is interesting. So, how would you define compassion? I would define it as "seeing oneself in others."
