The importance of a positive mental outlook.
The presence of an overriding negative mental outlook blinds one to many possibilities of discovery and awakening.
There is a reason that throughout antiquity gurus have said to make this path a serious GAME...
This path should be one of earnestness AND enjoyment in the unfolding of this ever present moment.
Joy and positivity are open and spacious feeling for a reason...because they ARE open and spacious, and allow for light to come in.
On the other side of the coin, negativity, bitterness, and capriciousness feel closed and shut off for a reason....because they are a closing off and shutting out of the light so to speak.
And the more one clings to a negative outlook, the more they shut out.
Embrace joy and a positive spirit of discovery and adventure and awakening on this path, without "clinging" or developing an attachment to to any of it :-)

How does cultivation of a particular outlook work free of the opposite polarity?

Seems to me that awareness subject to enhancement is awareness that is centered and possessed and in that case is certainly subject to an eventual swing toward the opposite polarity. |

When we are driving in hard on ourself, we are blocking the life-flow ie, coming down on oneself. Sitting on the hatch life comes up-through is like depression. Positive is liberating life and non-attachment frees the identity back to its original state so that it can begin to unravel the mysteries of its Mind, that which it created soon after birth. |

But isn't there a difference if this quality arises naturally after noticing the unnecessarily negative on one hand, and artificially seizing on and clinging to the positive, on the other? Is the original state positive? Negative? Is it both? Neither? |

It the original state positive? Negative? Is it both? Neither? yes, in every viewpoint there is a difference. The origin is always LIFE! Only after we manufacture the mind(individual-mind)and good and bad enforced does one participate in the art of polarisation. Whilst we still have a mind to use.... Life can manefest through either pole. Afterall, you are awareness and awareness is life is it not?  |

But in the end, I would answer no to your question. Wrote this to a friend the other day: the floor falls out from underneath no way for this to happen slow-like and all gradual 'cause minds were made fer snapin'! free fall ever upward with no net and by no map time it moves again and in mid-air we catch a nap in the dream that follows, some odd sense it might be made stories of what happened as the dreamer basks in shade what we see we know for certain that it is not what we are no matter if our body or it's something away far even in the void there is no refuge to be found no salvage for a center as your name it makes no soundstill there is a movement sometimes we do love to say to whisper gently of a shadow a projection of a way but there is no misleading to a thing that can be sold no destination, no prize and no truth that can be told instead we snap to realize in the witness of the race we were never not ever inside freedoms embrace |

In some ways this path is the path of expansion of awareness, a great inclusivity so to speak.
When one is clinging to a bitter little pill and focused on it, when one is generally in a state of negativity, one is not receptive and open to much, if any inclusivity or receptiveness to insight, or expansion of awareness.
When one is generally in a positive state, one is open, and receptive, and open to insight and expansion of awareness.
Positivity does not necessarily create insight or expand awareness etc...but it is a more fertile ground than the closed-ness of negativity.

As long as there is ground, fertile or otherwise, there is a ground for self-reference. A place for the false I to stand. Pull the latch on the trap door. The best ground is midair. |

I think it could be as their back-seat is so far back they see the funny-side of expression. For you then, when you see mirage expressed in words, in text...do you not comment as a Camel-tenderer? |
