No I meant polarity and believe that without polarity there would be no learning experiences. What you are speaking of is the ideal of pure unconditional love, which is unity consciousness with the source. If and when we attain that we will have no need of the learning experiences of the physical polarity consciousness, save perhaps to come back as bodhisattva, to serve those souls who are still coming here to learn.
I certainly do not mean diversity. Polarity is an absolute necessity. And the negative pole is, BTW pure illusion, as is all the physical pain that it causes.
