It doesn't make me feel better. I was just explaining (A) how I saw / interpreted it, (B) what I was responding to in my comments.
I understand that that may not be how you meant it. Sorry for any offense. I think you've been much clearer in this post about what you were trying to say, and I'm not trying to just put words in your mouth.
My point, and maybe it's larger than or inconsistent with what you were saying (if so, my apologies), is that I think it's difficult to have a direct personal experience of polarity as something that would inform one's sense of self. This is because the utility of polarity is something that transcends our third density identities. Also, what would you be measuring your own polarization relative to? At most you're measuring it relative to other personal episodic experiences of polarity. That's useful - but that's not the sense in which Ra talks about 51% STO or 95% STS.
In my opinion, I see it as even more distorted to introduce this questionable aspect of identity into a third density conversation. Now you're piling distortion on distortion. What is the purpose of establishing one's polarity to fellow forum participants?
"I'm STS."
"Well I'm STO"
"That's nice."
I think the premises behind the above (hugely simplified to the point of parody) conversation are completely flawed. If those aren't the premises you were setting out on, Chaotikmind, then please disregard my critique.
Honestly, I think what weirded me out the most was that idea of somebody expressly identifying as polarizing STS participating on this board. That right there sets off alarm bells in my head - not that the participant is evil, but rather that the participant misunderstands the dynamics of polarization.
