What does polarization mean? Are there 3 polarities?

[Sacred Fool]

The famous Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita talks about the polarities. Referred to in that text as the modes of nature. There is the mode of goodness, which is the path of the devas (angels) and of serving others. Then there is the mode of passion, which is the path of the asuras (demons) and of serving the self. Through the mode of goodness, you reincarnate in the higher planets, and the mode of passion takes you to the lower planets. The Bhagavad Gita breaks down the experiences and differences of those two paths, but it also mentions the third mode of nature- the mode of ignorance. It is the mode of nature that predominates over us when we cannot fully embody either of the other modes. It's the mode of indifference. And there are resulting qualities of the experience of the mode of ignorance- it is also explained in detail like the other modes. Most people in this age are under the mode of ignorance. As the mode of goodness is the path of the angels and the mode of passion is the path of the demons; the mode of ignorance is the "path" of ghosts and spirits. Not that we necessarily become a ghost right after incarnating, although it does bring to mind how some of the entities Ra mentions are in a process of healing- they are sometimes confused because their path might have been not as pure as they intended and so they stay in a disembodied state for some time.

I was thinking about this the other day..

I actually had 2 questions about polarity

#1)  What is it we mean by polarization?  Can we have a positive & negative red,orange,yellow, etc chakras? Or is positive polarization a configuration of chakras that includes green ray where negative does not?  My understanding is that polarization is the latter, but would like your take on it.

#2) Along with positive and negative polarities, is there a neutral polarity?  When we say 51% positive polarization, does this mean 51% positive and 49% negative, or does this mean 51% positive and 49% neutral?  Or is there some combination of 51% positive, 30% neutral, 19% negative?

Thought these were interesting concepts, would like to discuss with others.

Thanks!

Maybe I can add to the confusion here.

In the Ra Material, "polarity" is the capacity to do work in spirit.  It's like the charge of a battery, it can be high or low or in between or completely dead.  The term "positive polarization" refers to the degree to which one's being is oriented towards service to others (or God or virtue, etc.) as compared to being self-serving or not much dedicated to anything.  I don't recall Ra discussing a neutral polarity, possibly because polarity is necessary to evolve spiritually, and, as it functions similar to a battery, it is either positive or negative.  However, Ra says they are without polarity because at their sixth density level, they serve the Law of One, and oneness, by definition is without polarity.

The Vedic concepts of the Devas and Asuras are simpatico with the Ra Material's concepts of the paths of service to others and service to self and how these lead to high levels of spiritual developement.  For example, there are stories of Asuras attaining immortality--Rahu comes to mind.  (The Asuras usually pay some price for their gains, such as Rahu losing his body.  On the other hand, the Devas sometimes take a beating as well, such as in the Humbling of Indra.)  Likewise, the Vedantic concept of Brahman is simpatico with the LOO concept of the Creator prior to the first distortion.

The triguna (three gunas) are another matter.  These could be maybe sort of be seen as describing polarity, in the sense that someone highly sattvic has more polarity (power to do work in spirit) and someone very tamasic has far less polarity.  But being submerged in tamas (lethargic, indifferent) would not be a different polarity, it would be a state of very little polarity.  A person in that state would likely have very little viveka (insightful discrimination) and would thus be disposed to being manipulated by ghosts or demons or selfish politicians (or people who post on the Internet, such as us).

I hope that helps.
