Ankh- All I can say is, first: go and educate yourself about magnetic polarization and apply what you have learned by analogy to the idea of polarization of consciousness. Then- and only then- let me know what you have found. If you indeed find that the whole exercise was a waste of time, or that you ended up just being confused even more, then let me know and I will kindly stop flapping my jaws at you. You can even bill me for the hours you wasted in your study, and I will send you the funds. 
It's not at all that I think you need to understand the theory in order to polarize. I'm sure your spiritual growth is coming along just fine.
But it would help with discussions, and explaining things to others. For example- many people have questions about, "Am I STS? Or STO?" or "Am I polarized enough?"... these questions arise out of a confusion about what kind of polarization Ra is referring to. If we had a correct understanding of the analogy, then these question would more often answer themselves, and we would also have an easier time answering them when they do arise.
For example, if we speak of polarization in terms of alignment (as in a magnet) the conversation will tend to go a certain way, and lead toward greater understanding. On the other hand, if we speak of polarization in terms of separation (as in a crystal) the conversation will go another way, and lead toward greater confusion.
In the meantime, let us take one more close look at this sentence:
A simple rearrangement of the sentence will give us the correct read:
Do you see? All I did was change the order of the two sentence fragments, and suddenly it is clear. Due to the... distortions... of ethics and activity... it is unlikely that there is a more pity or eloquent description.
What that means is... if we are willing to momentarily set aside our distortions to think of everything in terms of "ethics and activity" we might arrive at a more enlightened understanding of polarity. It doesn't mean to abandon ethics completely. What is means is that there might be some value to looking at the concept of polarization of consciousness outside of "ethics and activity".
I have found this value, and am trying to share it with you, my sister. Will you not accept this service?

In the meantime, let us take one more close look at this sentence:
Quote: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.
