What does polarization mean? Are there 3 polarities?

Are you saying that "polarity is a kind of energy expenditure?"  Huh?  Me no comprehend, friend

Well, this is all my opinion, just ways that I make these ideas useful to myself. It might be wrong.

I think the concept of polarity is a simplification of energetic patterns in our being which are too multifarious, sublimated, and subtle to describe in any other useful way in third density. Polarity is an ideal that probably manifests in a lot of particular ways, yet maintains the same noticeable set of general qualities. The question for third density experience is how to make it actionable, something subject to a choice and an act of will, when it is in some ways a phenomenon with roots beyond all this.

The reason I think of it this way is that it's too easy to be reductionist about the polarity of thoughts and behavior. Service-to-others is not always about what we normally define as "service" or "others". Service-to-self is not always just about what we normally define as "service" or "self". It is too easy to reduce these polarities to the low resolution of language and social norms, losing the animating spirit behind the scenes. So I always remind myself that this is an energetic pattern, to ensure that I don't get lost in terminology and the need to reconcile everything logically. Polarity is ultimately about a feeling, not about an analysis or measurement.

For example, I feel confident that the percentages cited for STS and STO are, for all third density intents and purposes, metaphors. You can't measure actions and thoughts that way! It doesn't make any sense from a third density perspective. I believe the cited percentages point at something deeper and finer, just around the corner, a more universal substrate we can feel and can often use thoughts to work with but isn't those thoughts itself and isn't even those feelings themselves. At the level of that common substrate of vibration, the cited percentages may indeed be more direct measurements of this common vibratory configuration, but then it's a matter of accessing things expressly intended to be veiled. The value of third density experience is in apprehending the vibratory configuration obliquely, in other words, without direct and acknowledged access to the underlying phenomenon.

Nevertheless, since we do not have reliable, ongoing, clear access to observing the substrate on its own terms, we use the illusion as a kind of analog to it, going off feeling and analysis. Polarity is a way of thinking about it that allows us to work with the phenomenon of energy expenditure imperfectly but tractably and vividly. Another way of conceiving of all of this: it's a way to intellectually justify the need to abandon the intellect as the primary tool.
