Gary - Certainly, I agree with all of that. I think one can polarize minimally in terms of the poker game analogy by going within, but in terms of building will and faith, channeling energy through the higher centers with little distortion, I believe that can only be done by encountering your reflection. I wasn't clear in what I meant by within, so I think we're kind of circling two different concepts.
There seems to be general polarization, then the ability to perform great healing. By that I mean the most illuminating, powerful, and beautifully humbling experiences I've had involved personal catalyst with others. It seems to be in those moments where the deepest levels of polarization are achieved. So I would say the experience of discovering a jewel can only be done by dealing with others. While there is that internal process, I think it is the interface between self and other that builds a type of strength which empowers the seeking process described in 10.14. All of what you said applies though.
