As I understand the LOO so far (about halfway thru the Ra material) we require the dance of negative and positive here to provide catalysts for evolution on our chosen path.
So a scenario:
You are walking in the woods and come upon two people, one is brutalizing the other. The one being brutalized is screaming for help. They are not aware of you.
1) you leave before they see you. (no action the only person you have controlled is self, so a positive action)
2) you move closer so you are noticed, the one attacking stops (your action has in effect controlled one, and released one from control, so balanced action?)
3) you rush in and pull the attacker off (perhaps same as above but possibly stronger 'controlling action' so more negative than positive?)
At least for me this runs counter to sense of right and wrong, which perhaps is the great value of a catalyst - sorting it out may produce the needed balance.
