Wanderers have to polarize?

[APeacefulWarrior]

Ra's concept of polarity is so esoteric and high that everyone believes they have to volunteer at a soup kitchen or have a job to polarize positively. All is needed is conscious work in consciousness that is either with negative or positive crystal creation.

Think of it as a neutron, It needed to be charged by protons (understanding, positive force) which has electrons to balance (knowledge, negative, magnetic) and united to the all by quarks (neutral, love, unity). All that is needed is balance with the forces.

I think, also, the reason Ra used "polarity" as his metaphor is that it goes along with the general idea of the universe being based in energy transfer. It's not the "fault" of a piece of polarized material that it twists light in a certain direction. It just happens, because that is the nature of the polarized material.

As I've experienced things, when a person is strongly polarized, they naturally "bend" the energies in one direction or another. At one extreme, you get the grouches who are simply unable to ever take pleasure in anything but the misfortune of others, and seem to possess an amazing ability to find the negative in any situation. Conversely, there are the Polyannas who could be living in Auschwitz and still find a way to tell themselves "Eh, it's not so bad."

That's why "going to work at a soup kitchen" or similar solutions really don't do much, unless the person involved strongly wants to use them as catalyst to shift their polarity in one direction or the other. A strongly negatively-polarized person working at a soup kitchen would just use it to confirm their existing biases against the poor, or that the world is totally crapsack, or whatever. They might even use that as a form of control, such as religious organizations that use food distribution to strongarm people into joining their flock.

There's nothing in the act of handing over a bowl of soup, in and of itself, that's directly polarizing either way. It's the intent of the people involved, and what they take away from the encounter, that forms the substance of the catalyst. At least from what I've seen.
