Polarity vs. Orientation

[zenmaster]

Was just saying that it's possible to determine service orientation because that is the personality (rays and all that).

Determining a negative or positive act as far as polarity (use of) is not possible because inward and outward are indistinguishable (as far as resulting work accomplished). And that is not 'negative' or 'positive' with respect to ethical principles, which would be service orientation. Nothing to do with magnitudes.

So you're saying that it's impossible to tell if any given highly polarized action was positive or negative?

Yes, because the direction that polarized acts take has nothing to do with polarity. This is just like the sign of a photon's linear vibration has nothing to do with its manifest direction.

Are you maybe talking about the unmanifested self? Because it would seem that any polarized action that involves otherselves would be relatively easy to determine.

What you are determining with the ethical consideration is the direction to which the will is applied. If you look at how the ancient Greeks philosophized about the situation, it seems to be in advance of what we tend to appreciate today.

If you're saying not, could you give an example?

I'm saying not (just as Ra said not), because the framework from which we view imbalanced working (ethical/natural/logos/love view) and what we draw upon to accomplish the work (polarity) are separate. The former is of the mind, the latter is more primary and of the spirit.
