Agreed. This is necessarily true in a concept of magnetic polarization. The polarized self is internally unified in its will to either radiate or absorb. However, polarization is also a step toward separation from those who polarize oppositely.
Tenet Nosce Wrote:Yes, and for exactly the same reason, a person could dedicate their life to outward service of others... volunteering, working for causes, being a nice and kind person... and then be surprised (and dismayed) to find out that they have hardly polarized at all!
This could only be because other facets of life were ignored. Suppose, for example, that our volunteer had a manipulative home life. The polarized beingness always exhibits symptoms in practice. The actions you describe are symptoms. A person will never have the energy to commit her resources to a constant act of service unless the internal resources were not also coherently organized into a will to serve.
Non-sequitur:
Why do you import the good/bad concepts into STO/STS?
