I guess unpolarized platform isn't a good term then. In any case, I'm really quite unsure of what you feel is being misunderstood.
What godwide_void wrote, in my mind, reflects how most of the community feels about choice and polarity, yet you seem to think there is a vast misunderstanding. How do you think the community views choice and polarity?
Quote:Choice is not polarity, it is direction.
You define Service to Others as a choice which directs us towards the positive polarity (light), and Service to Self a choice which directs us towards the negative polarity (dark)...
Quote:positive and negative are polarities, and those are the points requiring balance. the choices simply determine the direction in which we evolve.
In service to othgers one moves forward into the Light. In service to self one commits further to the long continued act of gratifying the temporary self over at the expense of the eternal consciousness.
If it is choice that polarizes us (or moves us towards one polarity or the other), what is the danger in defining the positive polarity as a "Service to Others polarity" and the negative polarity as a "Service to Self polarity?" That's what I am misunderstanding.
One can choose to leap off of a cliff to experience the fall. But if one was lead to believe by their innacurate reading of the beware of cliff sign, that there was no danger, than that very real danger should be addressed and the sign made more concise. "Beware that falling off this cliff can be detrimental your continued health!"
The leaping, or not, off of the cliff is not polarity.
You are mistaken when you say I am saying the whole community is having the same interpretation. I am saying that I observe some applying varying degrees of this misniterpreation. And that is only my opinion of course as there is no sense in me preaching what I believe. I am only stating an observation and not wanting to point directly at anyone now.

Choices which are considered STO in both deed and intention equate to a person's meter leaning towards the polarity of light. It can be assumed them, that because Creator 1 typically performs STO actions that he will continue to polarize towards the light. Because he continues to polarize only towards the light, it inferred that he is of a light polarity. HOWEVER, just because he frequently polarizes towards the light does not solidify and guarantee that his polarity will remain as such. He is not exempt from the existence of the other polarity. At any given moment Creator 1 may act in an unloving manner and not in service to others. His polarity would not change from this, but he may possibly de-polarize, and the more depolarizing choices made, the more Creator 1 veers off course and the direction he moved in will alter. If the orientation of his choices changes, the direction he heads in changes. I will reiterate that polarity is not a set thing, and it is a constant thing to maintain.
Yes, this is the peefect description and meaning behind the tarot card Vl, often called the two paths.
