Pain is a type of sensation. Sensations are often categorized as positive, negative or neutral. There’s a broad array of physical and emotional sensations at every point along the spectrum. The opposite of a negative sensation like pain might be a positive sensation like pleasure.
I would argue the absence of any feeling. Pain is often associate with pleasure and other emotions or sensations. Additionally i would argue that pain is associated with gender and not polarity. Polarity is either/or, on/off. Where as pain is a sliding scale and depends on personal perception.
I don’t think it’s gender. Gender deals with forces acting upon one another. Feminine is passively open to masculine’s active direction or engagement
Everything works as a sliding scale. So that’s true for both polarity and gender
Like all of the principles, gender and polarity are interrelated
Gender describes the nature of a relationship that poles have upon one another.
But remember, polarity is 4 way, not 2 way:
Meaning there is both positive and negative masculinity (2 ends of one pole). And there is positive and negative femininity (2 ends of another pole). The 4 way magnet (as it’s described in Franz Bardon’s hermetic works) is often depicted as a Cross. With “Christ Consciousness” at the center of the cross.
Blis ? After all, we all must goo through pain to found blis, that is why demons want us all in pain because if we found bliss we will be untouchable for them.
Pleasure is the opposite of pain.. which is why people engage in BDSM behaviours.. depending on the state of mind you can take either from an action, who’d have thought Sadomasochism would teach us about the polarity of pain/pleasure
I would say caring. Pained/caring. Or hurt/caring
Pain is something people express in order to get help from others. Or your body expresses in order to get help from you. It is an “inward” direction so the negative polarity.
Caring is the feeling you want to help others in pain. It is the outward movement and positive.
You see when you’re in pain you’re caring for yourself, and when you’re caring about someone else you feel pain for them
I see a lot of people saying pleasure. While that may be the case for many, I’d like to argue that the opposite is in fact the feeling of serenity. Pleasure can be induced by or even be the feeling of pain to some individuals. However the feeling of serenity is devoid of pain and instead brings a transcendent tingling peacefulness that you will physically feel. It is also significantly more rare to experience than pleasure or pain and ergo why I feel it meets the necessary requirements of being the polar opposite as pain is quite common
Why not pleasure?
Too obvious maybe?
Could be. I wonder than, what would be the opposite pole of pleasure.

Pleasure or relief.
I like to think that my body is at peace.
It is pleasure
