Are you driven by kindness, compassion, the desire to help others before yourself? Or do you seek to manipulate and use others for your own gain, and place your own needs before those of others, even if your needs aren't as 'urgent', or if you don't even have needs but simply WANT for yourself as opposed to sharing with others? Do you interact with the Creator by serving others when you can or by serving yourself at other's expense?
These are great, guiding questions. : )

It is not rocket science; these terms were chosen by Ra and both 'paths' were deemed equally valid due to their having transcended polarity in the highly evolved state of being they hold at their current nexus. It is necessary to filter these terms so as to better apply them to our world, and when this is done the following definitions apply:
GV, why would you want to, and why would we ever need to, bring "closure" on a topic that we may mine with great benefit for the remainder of our incarnation? The "choice", as the Confederation calls it, is the "axis on which the creation turns".
That's a pretty big deal, involving not just this incarnation alone, but our journey for a long, long, loooong time to come. : )
Our understanding of polarity, our definitions of polarity, our discussions of polarity, our experience of polarity will evolve as we evolve. We will be faced with the endlessly complex and dynamic possibilities of polarity with each new turn of the upward moving spiral.
How in the world could there be closure, or finality, or nailing it all down to, "Look, it's this way. Case closed."

Much love, GLB
