I totally understand your confusion, Rolci. I hope I can attempt to lessen it instead of increase it.
Ra says that most people are far along their polarity bias before they consciously recognize which polarity they are. It is only when one wants to do high magical work in consciousness that consciously developing polarity becomes important, and when learning the tarot becomes important. Referring to the Two Paths card, the Transformation of the Mind, it is about the point where one does consciously choose their catalyst in a desire to progress further along their path, because the two paths most certainly diverge before the re-coalesce. You can have your cake and eat it too, by retaining the hand of both girls, the prostitute and the maiden, but you will not progress along either path and therefore not receive any benefits or 'magical powers' that are associated with polarity.
As one continues to make their choice of polarity, with dedication, then they can start developing the use of the magical personality with regularity. This takes will and practice, as to make it a habit like anything else. At this point, when acts of will towards love become more of a habit than a forced response, the "choice" of polarity in the moment again becomes less and less conscious (though still an act of will/choice), as when you ingrain your bias more thoroughly the interpretation of catalyst as positive becomes more the norm.

Quote:19.16 Questioner: Then, through free will, some time in the third-density experience, the path splits and an entity consciously— probably does not consciously choose. Does an entity consciously choose this path at the initial splitting point?
Ra: I am Ra. We speak in generalities which is dangerous for always inaccurate. However, we realize you look for the overview; so we will eliminate anomalies and speak of majorities.
The majority of third-density beings is far along the chosen path before realization of that path is conscious.
Quote:Ra: Let us now observe the evaluation of the two females [in the Lovers card]. The observation that to the left-hand path moves the roughly physical and to the right-hand path the mental has a shallow correctness. There are deeper observations to be made concerning the relationship of the great sea of the unconscious mind to the conscious mind which may fruitfully be pursued. Remember, O student, that these images are not literal. They haunt rather than explicate.
Many use the trunk and roots of mind as if that portion of mind were a badly used, prostituted entity. Then this entity gains from this great storehouse that which is rough, prostituted, and without great virtue. Those who turn to the deep mind, seeing it in the guise of the maiden, go forth to court it. The courtship has nothing of plunder in its semblance and may be protracted, yet the treasure gained by such careful courtship is great. The right-hand and left-hand transformations of the mind may be seen to differ by the attitude of the conscious mind towards its own resources as well as the resources of other-selves.
Quote:94.12 Questioner: It seems to me that the Experience of the Mind would act in such a way as to change the nature of the veil so that catalyst would be filtered so as to be more acceptable in the bias that is increasingly chosen by the entity. For instance, if the entity had chosen the right-hand path the Experience of the Mind would change the permeability of the veil to accept more and more positive catalyst, and also the other would be true for accepting more negative if the left-hand path were the one that was repeatedly chosen. Is this correct?I do think if this is your area that you desire to study, that you should begin a patient study of the archetypes.
Ra: I am Ra. This is not only correct but there is a further ramification. As the entity increases in experience it shall, more and more, choose positive interpretations of catalyst if it is upon the service-to-others path and negative interpretations of catalyst if its experience has been along the service-to-self path.
