Re: Karma Kybalion

Interesting question Dan. I don't have any deep knowledge concerning 
the issue at hand but let me contribute an example to help with the 
discussion.

Most of us cycle through good and bad moods. We like our jobs; we're 
stressed by our jobs. We enjoy our families; our families drive us up 
the wall. And so on.

If you deliberately cultivate thought habits that support a positive 
perspective - - looking for good things in bad situations, etc (I 
know this sounds fluffy but it's just an example), then you can 
become polarized towards the positive end of your mood polarity. The 
rhythm will still be there but now you oscillate from "very positive" 
to "mildly positive" instead of from positive to negative. If you are 
very good at polarizing your mood you'd see a kind of "ceiling 
effect" in which the entire range of your moods is so positive that 
you would hardly see any change as your moods swing. . . and thus you 
would have neutralized your rhythm.

Similarly some of the worst dysfunctions I've ever seen have been in 
families that have unconsciously polarized themselves towards the 
negative.

>From the perspective of these examples, learning to polarize in this 
way might actually be seen as a change that comes as a *consequence* 
of learning a Karmic lesson.
