The direction of that water pressure (desire), is the direction of the polarity. However, the "strength" of that directional movement (the will) is the strength of the polarity -- again, the amount of water pressure is the capacity it has to perform work.
So while "will" is not precisely "attention", I would certainly describe it as "consciously directed attention or intent". Unconscious will might be termed simply: desire. It has vibrational momentum, just as the conscious application of will does, but it is not being deliberately tuned by devotion, and as such, is subject to the energy scattering effect that is known as spiritual entropy.
So to increase one's polarity is to increase your conscious dedication to service to others, or service to self, in thought and behavior (they are ultimately the same thing). It is to increase the orientation and focus of the consciousness towards either a more pure state of radiation or a more pure state of absorption. The more water pressure there is (will), the more water (consciousness) is summoned forward to match that manifestation (and vice versa -- they are directly proportional). Can't have pressure without water and vice versa. Another, or alternative way of relating this concept is the idea of "spiritual mass" and "spiritual gravity".
Hey, if that model works for you, I have no desire to discourage you from it. I just don't agree with it. <smile>
For instance, you say that will or desire create the pressure to drive the water, and its direction determines + or - polarity. I say that will or desire may give direction, and maybe some power, but most of the power is due to a polarized differential of energy that has little to do with will, directly. Example: I strongly desire to offer comfort and love through spirit out to people within my community in a powerful and effective way. I may use my will and desire all I like, but if I have weak polarity, it can have only a marginal effect. On the other hand, if my polarity is mighty, then my will may be only casual, yet much energy is delivered where it is accepted. I've seen examples of both and have experienced some degree of both.
In my view, a strong desire to serve does not increase the ability to do work, rather, it opens the door to more possibilities to do work. Showing up and doing the work is what enables one to do more work, and the more skillfully you do so, the more quickly your polarity builds...if you're lucky.
Skipping now to spiritual gravity or mass, these, I would aver, are ways of describing one's capacity to enjoy and work with denser light. The more advanced a being in this pursuit, the greater its ability to do work in consciousness, i.e., work in spirit to respond to calls for help or creatively assist the purification of energies, etc.
There it is, for what it may be worth.
