I wouldn't claim absolute knowledge of my own divine will- I think there's some things that just exceed the capacity of human understanding.
I do, however, realize that every action I take is a choice, and, while I'm not always successful, I try to consistently choose in a direction that is in alignment with the highest and best truth, the most desired state of being, that I am capable of perceiving. That truth could change tomorrow, but it is the consciousness of intention and the purity of that intent that build the momentum which catapult one into the realm of the adept.
I'd note that this doesn't mean I try to squash out parts of myself I find not in alignment with those highest of goals. I explore every desire I encounter, but it is the higher will that guides the context and mode of that exploration. I explore to understand, I understand to accept, I accept to Love and I Love because I have determined Love to be the undeniably natural state of my being and the universe. Thus far, I cannot perceive any truth that brings me more joy and inner clarity, and so with all my heart I try to choose to see the Love in all things, even those things in the world, and especially in myself, which seem most unloving.
This is what I see as the basis of polarity. My only real qualm with the concept is that "STS" and "STO" quickly turn into a stereotyped set of behaviors, and true self-expression is not possible via conforming to a stereotype out of the fear of "not making it." Do it for your Self, not the fourth dimensional cookie.
I've perhaps derailed my own topic...whoopsie.
