I have to say that I’m a little annoyed by your refusal to acknowledge that you may be (what Steve refers to as) a darkworker. I’m one, and I have to say that reading many of your comments above, they seemed to absolutely scream "darkworker". There’s nothing wrong with this of course, in fact it’s a very great thing. You said
“I think that whenever I write from the point of view of taking care of yourself, it brakes one of Steve's beliefs/rules away from concentrating on GIVE LOVE TO WORLD ONLY and perhaps that feels draining to him. However, in my opinion that only happens because he has some ego issues to resolve in that area of life still.”
This could very well be true, but what does your denial of the title of “darkworker” say about your ego? I realize that there’s a lot of bias against people like us in these forums (and most other places,for that matter), and I will not deny that Steve himself can be somewhat bias. In fact, he’s admitted to this. But I do find it kind of insulting, when a guy who’s practically spelling out darkworker philosophy still insists that he’s not one. Be proud of what you are; enjoy it, its fun.

The only thing I can think of in terms of why Steve would have said something like that is that I know from his Lightworker/Darkworker articles, I know he's convinced that the path to Enlightenment is to GIVE LOVE to the world only and "the world will take care of me".

What you said here would seem to imply that you don’t believe that darkworkers can achieve enlightenment. This is not the case. Although I don’t believe everything that Steve has said about polarizing, one reason that I generally approve of this concept is that I stumbled onto many of the same ideas completely independently of Steve’s articles and before he wrote them (though he does give a little bit more credit to lightworking then I probably would). It is entirely possible to reach a sort of dark, selfish enlightenment (assuming you’re not like most people, who will never really polarize in either direction), a kind of individual sense of Godhood, or personal bliss, if you will. This polarizing concept is like a ring, and the two paths come together in enlightenment.

It shouldn't feel draining to love yourself, and it shouldn't feel negative to love yourself. I really don't believe one can truly love the world to it's fullest without first fully loving oneself to the fullest. Many have tried though.

Steve wasn’t saying that your being a darkworker was draining for you, he said it was draining for him!(lol) Being a darkworker is great for the person who’s actually doing it! And a side note: I certainly hope that Steve doesn’t think that your post are any more draining than mine are. I’d be jealous.
My point here is that what you’re saying is completely true. You said it yourself- “I really don't believe one can truly love the world to it's fullest without first fully loving oneself to the fullest.” And it’s the exact opposite of Steve’s lightworker path. Two directions leading to the same ends, this is the essence of Steve’s polarity concept.
Congratulations, you’re a darkworker! Enjoy.
