Polarization and Polarity

[Tenet Nosce]

There is much talk of "polarization" and "polarity", but what do these terms mean? In our world, there are many different kinds of polarization. The Wikipedia entry on polarization discusses 13 different kinds of polarization, just in the physical sciences alone.

Two of these kinds are the ones most commonly known as they are taught in high school level chemistry and physics. These are ionic polarization and magnetic polarization.

In the Ra material, they speak of polarization of consciousness in terms of magnetic polarization.

They also talk a lot about crystals. However, a crystal gains polarity by the process of ionic polarization.

These are two different processes. As this might be a source of confusion, I would offer some clarification:

Ionic polarization is a process which occurs by means of separation of charges in a crystal. The most common crystal being water. Crystals require energy input in order to maintain polarity, or "charge."

Magnetic polarization is a process which occurs by means of alignment of molecules in a ferromagnetic material. These are elements which can become permanent magnets that do not require additional energy input in order to maintain polarity, or "charge."

In the context of the Ra material, the type of polarization which precedes harvest is the kind which is analogous to magnetic polarization.

Questioner: Thank you. You have stated previously that the foundation of our present illusion is the concept of polarity. I would like to ask, since we have defined the two polarities as service to others and service to self, is there a more complete or eloquent or enlightening definition of these polarities or any more information that we don’t have at this time that you could give on the two ends of the poles that would give us a better insight into the nature of polarity itself?

Ra: I am Ra. It is unlikely that there is a more pithy or eloquent description of the polarities of third density than service to others and service to self due to the nature of the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions towards perceiving concepts relating to philosophy in terms of ethics or activity. However, we might consider the polarities using slightly variant terms. In this way a possible enrichment of insight might be achieved for some.

One might consider the polarities with the literal nature enjoyed by the physical polarity of the magnet. The negative and positive, with their electrical characteristics, may be seen to be just as in the physical sense. It is to be noted in this context that it is quite impossible to judge the polarity of an act or an entity, just as it is impossible to judge the relative goodness of the negative and positive poles of the magnet.

Another method of viewing polarities might involve the concept of radiation/absorption. That which is positive is radiant; that which is negative is absorbent.
