Negative polarity.

[OpalE]

in would suggest that the negative polarity must have consciousness knowledge that what they are doing is negative and wrong in order to polarized successfully

This is actually something I have grappled with in the past (I have read quite a few books on psychopathology plus some unfortunate personal experience) and I came to the conclusion that... how shall I put this, in their own eyes, they believe what they're doing is 'right', or maybe 'justified' is a better word. No-one follows the "wrong path" in their own eyes. They sincerely believe in their own infallibility.

They experience that which they wish by free choice, being of the earnest opinion that green-ray energy is folly.

It is aware of the full array of possible methods of viewing the universe of the one Creator and it is convinced that the ignoring and non-use of the green-ray energy center will be the method most efficient in providing harvestability of fourth density.

To try and reason with them can feel like a twilight zone experience. Having said all this, I also think the negative polarity will never really make much sense to the positive polarity. There's also a 'shortsightedness' in the way they perceive the world. Something that really stayed with me from the book People of the Lie, was the statement that all evil has its origin in a lie, like Ra calling the negative path "the path which is not", since separation is a lie.

Much of this post speaks to me.

I'm only recently acquainted with the Ra material -- and nowhere near finished reading the transcripts -- so I'm not fully aware of the terminology. So far, the concepts make me feel like I'm reading a book of my own past thoughts translated into a language that I'm not yet fluent in.

If I understand 'positive/negative polarity' and 'green ray energy' correctly, then I've been an STO person(? being?) locked in a tug-of-war relationship with a STS person (?) for nearly a decade. I believe it began as an attempt to understand -- then convert -- one another, but now we seemed to have settled into a mutual cocoon ... undergoing internal changes together while minimalizing/neutralizing one another's influence on the world around us.

Argh. I know i've something to say based on the differences of our viewpoints, but i'm not sure why or how. Here goes my best attempt:

[Unity (?) and Power (over others) are the same force, but It cannot be viewed simultaneously as both. In the first view, Love is strength; in the second, love is weakness.]

["why milk another when you yourself are a source of milk?"] -- Nearly all of the STS people i've interacted with seem to have some conscious conception of "psychic or energetic vampirism," which they actively seek to practice and often view as the .. means? of their power. I, on the other hand, seem to have an intuitive certainty that whatever they are calling "life force/soul attention/attention/etc." and envision themselves "feeding on" is something that all conscious beings seem to be capable of producing within themselves. The viewpoint/act of vampirism seems to do nothing but weaken this natural generative ability and cause a dependency on the practice in order to feel strong (or even 'normal'). What i find incredibly confusing is that several have voiced the idea that "ALL humans feed on one another" and seem to believe that this is the ONLY way to acquire such energy ... yet more than once i've witnessed them feed continuously on another who is actively generating the stuff without bothering to explain to themselves how the victim is regenerating without feeding on a victim of their own.

[which matters most: understanding or power?] STS philosophies never hold up to logical analysis, and this doesn't seem to bother most of them. I can't count how many times i've heard "ignorance is bliss" or "we aren't supposed to know" or (my favorite) "it doesn't work if i think about it" ... yet the seemingly supernatural abilities i've witnessed many perform seem to be based in a total confidence that they possess "the Truth." I think they believe the "proof is in the pudding;" logic or objective truth mean nothing ... only: "does the belief get me what i want?"

The majority of STS beliefs seem to take the form of un-analyzed (but entirely accepted) adages such as those above and: "only the strongest survive," "might makes right," "you can't have good without evil," "if it feels good, do it," and "s*** rolls downhill" (to name a few). STS philosophy in action appears to me be a de-evolutionary thing designed to ensnare everyone (including themselves) into a competitive game of struggle and conflict for basic physical survival (a game which they believe is rigged in their favor, since they believe they possess the intelligence/ secret knowledge / inherent superiority required to "come out on top".)

[the illusion of control] I spent several years as a side-line outsider watching a predatory STS group. I am firmly convinced that the power and control they have is completely illusory. Much time is spent "manipulating and controlling" the actions and urges of others, but no time is spent controlling (or even contemplating) their own actions and urges. They are extremely prone to their own 'art,' and each member of the group seemed secretly convinced they they were the smartest and the one "really pulling the strings." One member would think an action at another, while the target would have a sudden compulsion to perform the act ... then, a moment later, the roles would be reversed.

Viewing from outside it appeared that "control," only worked on those who already accepted the superiority of their beliefs and practices (those who did not were chased away). If something occurred or existed that was inarguable evidence against what they claimed was true ("the way things are," "the way the world works," etc.), they would collectively act as a sort of hive mind to stamp it out / drive it away ... seemingly without ever questioning (or even perceiving) the drive to do so or admitting to themselves that they had just witnessed an exception to their "absolute truth."

all right... at this point, i'm certain that i'm rambling, so i'm going to stop here and hope that whatever wanted out got out.
