The same will is focused unto different states of balance with different surrounding parameters, yet never is unlike any of the two poles.
I've never stated that good and evil don't come from the same place, but you can't say that a proton and an electron are precisely the same thing just because they can both be derived from a photon. In some abstract sense yes, practically speaking, no. I'm not saying one is more important, they are both parts of the photon.

In the same manner, the positive polarity contains the same selfishness that the negative polarity sheds light upon, except that it is expressed positively within paramaters that allow this expression.
Negative polarity actually does precisely mean extreme selfishness. That is exactly why it is called service to self rather than "that nebulously defined behavior I'm alluding to". Defining two polarities as service to self, and service to others as Ra did is literally labeling these polarities by their signature and chief defining characteristic itself. I'm honestly baffled that you don't accept this most basic of all premises.

Yeah, you keep saying that, but like most I see you are just taking one word for a dichotomy of human behavior and replacing it with another word for a dichotomy of human behavior. So how is calling a behavior negatively polarized different from calling it evil? At the end of the day, it is just meaningless word substitution because somebody doesn't like the word "evil". Good and evil *ARE* polarity, and always have been, since the dawn of mankind. I'm not saying one is more powerful than the other, but this constant repackaging I see of ancient spiritual concepts into quasi new age language designed to sound more enlightened than the status quo when in reality it is just the same old concept in new clothing is just plain tiresome in my opinion.
Hell, I could take a random survey of people on the street, put a list of some general STO actions, and some general STS actions on a white board and ask them to label them with their own subjective cultural understanding of what they believe "good" and "evil" mean, and I'm positive that in 90% of the examples they would equate them precisely as I have equated them. They would describe all the STS actions as stereotypically evil, and the STO actions as stereotypically good.
I have yet to hear how they are different. I personally think in most cases it is just an equal commingling of wishful thinking and special snowflake syndrome.
