Aion do you have an opinion of G with your psychic skills ?
After going through a bunch of pictures, looking in to his eyes, I would say he was positively polarized. However, there seems to be an intense 'knot' around him, almost like a labyrinth. I believe he wanted to help others but, like Crowley, became 'oversaturated with the true nature of things' and so at times perhaps engaged in 'well-intentioned slavery' as Ra might put it. I believe he had a genuine desire to serve others however his own personal complexity was perhaps his greatest obstacle.
Ultimately, I think the sum of his incarnation was positively polarizing however not superbly so, it seems to me for all the clarity he brought he also brought equal parts confusion.
So I would conclude he is probably a superb example for those who reflect his complexity and would probably seem the exact opposite for anyone else. Ra also said Crowley was positive, and yet he was considered the wickedest man in the world.
At the end of it, if we are viewing all as the Creator then we see that the relationships can be incredibly complex and I doubt any of his relationships were purely positive or purely negative, just like anyone else.
My conclusion is that while he achieved polarization and high center activation, I think he struggled a lot with his own balance and many of his behaviours towards others were reinforcements upon himself. So I suppose I have compassion for him.
