I've been reading what Tenet Nosce said in the past about polarity in his Ra's Adventures in Wonderland thread, and some of it was really striking to me... But there is still some kind of understanding missing from my side.
This thread- Polarization and Polarity- might be helpful to you as a starting point.
What is being missed is a good understanding of how the polarity of a magnet works. If we were take the time to actually learn how a magnet functions on a molecular level, all the seeming questions would be answered. There would be no more debate, because there would be nothing to debate. It would be as obvious to anybody else as it was to me when I finally took Ra's advice and reviewed magnetic polarization for myself.
Instead, months and years pass in this forum where some members get very adamant- even indignant- about defending their erroneous understanding of the polarization of consciousness. The "debates" go round and round. Some even become irritated and defensive when they perceive that their notion of polarity has been challenged.
But in actuality, there is no challenge, merely a persistent misunderstanding of terms. There is no debate that is actually worthwhile, if we are unwilling to take basic steps to understand the terminology employed in the discussion. Ra gave us the specific answer, and for whatever reason (laziness, ego, unwillingness to admit one was wrong, taking L/L and/or the moderators as an authority even against their own advisement, heavy biases toward "ethics and activity", etc.) nobody bothers to actually go and educate themselves about magnetic polarization. It's all right there, plain as day, for anybody who truly wishes to know about it. There is no need- whatsoever- to take my word for it.
I mean- doesn't it seem odd to you that in a community which is so focused on this concept of polarization- with all the pages and pages of posts dedicated to discussion of it- nobody will make the slightest effort to educate themselves on what magnetic polarization entails?
Ankh- It is clear to me that you are a very intelligent person who is more than capable of understanding magnetic polarization as it is actually a high-school level concept. I invite you to educate yourself on it, and then report back what you find here in this thread.
The larger question, if you don't mind me asking, is: Why haven't you done this already? IMO- You are one of the most serious students of the material in this forum. Has it not occurred to you that taking Ra's advice to "consider the polarities with the literal nature enjoyed by the physical polarity of the magnet" would likely be very fruitful to your seeking?
Lol! Thanks for stroking my ego. :p
The answer to your question about why I haven't looked at the question that you bring up properly yet is lack of time, my brother. But you have certainly awakened my curiosity now in regards to this topic, so I will look at it properly as soon as the time allows me. I only have limited amount of time in regards to spiritual studies, if looking at something deeper. And in regards to polarity, I have this far been contented with what is in plenum's quote/post: "The Wanderer, if it remembers and dedicates itself to service, will polarize much more rapidly..." In this quote Ra seem to equal polarity with service right there. But then we have Q/A 17:30 (from session that you don't like :p) where Don asks what ways are the best to be of service, to which Ra answers that the best way is a constant attempt to radiate, to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self, but specifically speaking one needs to seek it, cause nothing is known. And I am aware of Q/A 93:3 where Ra says that it is unlikely that there is a more eloquent description of the polarities of third density than service to others and service to self and where they bring up the physical polarity of the magnet. And I am familiar with the physical polarity of the magnet, although not on the physicist's level perhaps.
Anywho, I will look into this question and the thread you linked as soon as this illusion allows me. Thank you for this, Tenet! Lots of love.

So for you, Ankh, I see that the bigger part of you is enthusiastic about the L/L Research and very supportive and wanting to do more. Another, smaller part of you holds out and doesn't want to throw everything into that basket, perhaps not wanting to be embarrassed later if it turns out not to be absolute truth.
Well, in 3D nothing is ever clear cut, so good to have a little skepticism to help the screening process. Also, remember Ra said that 3D means NOT understanding, so don't let failing to understand get you down. Not that I don't pursue understanding myself, understand.
My interpretation does not jibe with yours, of course, but neither are they mutually exclusive. Both could be correct, in fact.
Thank you for your interpretation of my dream, Lee. It's been a while I saw you here! Always a pleasure. /
