"Negative Philosophies...encourage or promote control of self...."

[Infinite Unity]

To me its about accepting or repressing the creator, your nature.  What is there to really control or accept, if you are all things? I believe all the discipline, all the meditation and so forth. Are really just different paths or techniques. To bringing you to the moment. The moment in which you are all things. You are the very nature in the air.

Exactly, STO and STS are both stories of love and light.

Control is of a negative nature for it cannot happen without the self being non-acceptant of it's own feelings and without it seeking to overcome them which creates a separation with the emotional body as it is controlled rather then distilled.

I don't think you can link control with the positive polarity other than that it would be considered a negative step along a positive path, it will require later distillment and there is no avoiding that. Linking control with the positive polarity seems more like an attempt at linking the positive with right and negative with wrong, which is really a poor view of these facets of the Creator.

Ultimately though, I think the notion of control and acceptance are somewhat illusionary notions which cannot be truly dissociated as they share the exact same core that Love is. Consider then that control happens out of the self containing contradictions and paradoxes whereas in acceptance lies the release of all contradictions and paradoxes, so control forever is a temporary step of the journey that will find its resolution.

These concepts are probably easier to contemplate within the idea that others do reflect your choices in a perfectly equal fashion as those of your individualization do. But I guess it is a natural aspect of this density to view yourself as not others and others as not yourself. If you make 2 different choices at two different moments, that is because in each moment you have different configuration and emotional fondation upon which these choices are made, much like how you can make different choices as 2 different individuals through a cause and effect that makes each make a choice based on different feelings. Yep, all is One and you do make all the choices and none is better or lesser but instead merely the reflection of what you are. It does seem all more beautiful if you have awareness of the background upon which each choice is made, but then you lose the perk of fasely believing that some of them could be, in your paradoxal conception of things, made without love.

I agree with a lot you say.

The point I was trying to make was that acceptance and repression is intimately linked as strands of a rope, to confusion. Or the law of confusion. Con fusion.
