The problem in my eyes is taking particular "life themes" and saying they are either positive or negative, that doesn't make much sense to me. It doesn't seem so obvious to me that those who keep their hands "clean" are always more positive. I believe that there are individuals throughout history with very positive, empowering stories, but I feel nothing but manipulation through them so for me it is certainly not always obvious by observing the actions of an entity what their apparent spiritual disposition is.
Also note, each person has for themselves a collection of thoughts, ideas and traits they consider "negative" so it's hard for me to not just think that in these cases what is identified as negative is what is seen by the self as self-serving, but that isn't the same for everybody so that's a bit of block for me...
For me it is almost always obvious in many cases, after some analysis anyway. Granted we humans have a pretty strong tendency to rapidly bounce from one end of the spectrum to the other, "negative state of being" or however you would call it to "Positive" in a moments notice, that is the typical way of doing things on this planet. The idea of a polarized consciousness is not one that is widely or heavily considered I think, and this has helped to put us behind quite a bit.
I guess it is sort of confusing though in the sense that a more progressed negatively oriented person believes what they do is right and good for others whatever it is, I think a thing to look for is a situation where what they are doing is engineered to help a certain people and suppress/hurt another people. Biased help, rather than a more universal unbiased and balanced service. jmt.
