[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

Metaphysically I don't think that logic works in the same way...

The Payer: "I have an assignment for you. I am offering you double your normal fee. Your track record is exemplary and I would be happy to do business with you again."

The Assassin picks up the documents from the table and begins to read. He smiles then picks up the brown envelope. He raises one eyebrow as this is the first time he has ever been offered full payment in advance as well as double the amount. 

The Assassin: "You can consider it done."

The Assassin takes care of business but gets caught by law enforcement. To maintain his professionalism he remains silent during his trial and is convicted of murdering a notorious rival to The Payer.

Looking through the lens of the Law of One as I perceive it, The Payer has successfully polarised towards the negative as another negatively oriented being has done his bidding for him without coercion. No karma results, more power does.
The Assassin however took great pride in his reputation but it has become significantly damaged. The opportunity to continue learning the ways of the negative path is greatly reduced by being placed in isolation while on death row. Due to the emotional attachment with his failure he accrues Karma.

So I think attachment is the key when looking at law from a metaphysical or universal perspective, which is the difference between the gameboard and the Gameboard. In other words the Assassin is playing on the gameboard (creating karma) while The Payer is playing on the Gameboard (polarising).

I emphatically disagree and have no idea how you concluded that. Why do you think the Payer is playing on the Gameboard but the Assassin isn't?
Where did you get this idea that it all depends on attachment? And why do you think the Payer is polarizing whereas the Assassin isn't?

My conclusions stem from my interpretation of the LOO, albeit a distorted one at that. I believe the Payer in this make belief scenario could potentially reach graduation towards the negative because they were born into an elite family circle, they intuitively understand free will and do not get their hands dirty (I am using the Payer in this scene interchangeably with an "elite") That to me represents being on the Gameboard simply because of his position and his harvestable potential. In contrast, I believe that the Assassin is not on the Gameboard because of his emotional attachment to what transpired. How can the Assassin control or manipulate another while in solitary confinement? Beyond that though the very idea of putting someone to death for causing death is essentially a hypocritical act. Belief systems however conceal this contradiction, at least in my eyes.
Focusing on the idea of attachment though I must stress that this is my subjective interpretation upon contemplating this bolded passage from the LOO...

35.8 Questioner: Well in that case I would like to know the motivation for this use of Abraham Lincoln’s body at that time?
Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this session as we find the instrument quite low in vital energies.

The one known as Abraham had an extreme difficulty in many ways and, due to physical, mental, and spiritual pain, was weary of life but without the orientation to self-destruction. In your time, 1853, this entity was contacted in sleep by a fourth-density being. This being was concerned with the battle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness which have been waged in fourth density for many of your years.

This entity accepted the honor/duty of completing the one known as Abraham’s karmic patterns and the one known as Abraham discovered that this entity would attempt those things which the one known as Abraham desired to do but felt it could not. Thus the exchange was made.

The entity, Abraham, was taken to a plane of suspension until the cessation of its physical vehicle much as though we of Ra would arrange with this instrument to remain in the vehicle, come out of the trance state, and function as this instrument, leaving this instrument’s mind and spirit complex in its suspended state.

The planetary energies at this time were at what seemed to this entity to be at a critical point, for that which you know as freedom had gained in acceptance as a possibility among many peoples. This entity saw the work done by those beginning the democratic concept of freedom, as you call it, in danger of being abridged or abrogated by the rising belief and use of the principle of the enslavement of entities. This is a negative concept of a fairly serious nature in your density. This entity, therefore, went forward into what it saw as the battle for the light, for healing of a rupture in the concept of freedom.

This entity did not gain or lose karma by these activities due to its detachment from any outcome. Its attitude throughout was one of service to others, more especially to the downtrodden or enslaved. The polarity of the individual was somewhat, but not severely, lessened by the cumulative feelings and thought-forms which were created due to large numbers of entities leaving the physical plane due to trauma of battle.

So I assume the same rules apply no matter what side you are batting for. If we take any of this personally, we attach ourselves to this density and "drop off the Gameboard".

You cannot know whether the Assassin polarizes, or in which direction, just because he is in isolation on death row. It all depends on what he chooses to do with his time

In actuality of course I can't possibly know, however I am the creator of this story and have merely developed your initial analogy into a narrative in order to query it's accuracy.

If, on the other hand, he responds to the isolation by nurturing his hatred, and never has any remorse for his deeds, but instead plots his escape and plans more killing as soon as he is freed, then he continues polarizing to STS. Whether he actually kills or not is irrelevant. What sort of catalyst he has is irrelevant. What is relevant is how he responds to that catalyst, whether in prison or on the street.

I agree with your own narrative  

Both have catalyst. Karma is simply more catalyst, based on our response to catalyst. Both men in this example are accumulating more karma. Everyone does, regardless of their choices, until they graduate from this density.

I disagree. Attachments and aversions create and perpetuate karma. The Payer in this regard is no more creating karma than the orion group are. He is offering temptations and influence. Responsibility begins and ends with the self. The Assassin is solely responsible for the murder just like humans are solely responsible for the past and present wars on this planet.

Both are playing on the gameboard.

A game requires 2 players or teams. If either neggie or pozzie succeeds in graduating then they have successfully played on the Gameboard. The gameboard (lowercase) is a metaphor for our third density illusion. The Gameboard is a metaphor for why we are in it (although I am sure you get that). Any portion of the Creator that graduates to 4D negative has successfully played the Game and no longer needs to return to the gameboard . All of what I say here is how I perceive things and my perception of how I think things are will always be subject to review or refinement.

I need to take my leave but will answer your counter question tomorrow. Meanwhile Monica,

Huuuuuuuug!
