I agree. I don't thinking fighting anyone is the answer. I believe the only "competition" or "fighting" that's really important is between yourself and your ego.

You are constantly taking extremely analytical approaches to this topic and it really doesn't and won't get you anywhere. You need to ease off the pure rational analysis and let some right-brained metaphor in there. Steve is throwing out metaphors and analogies that he thinks can be useful, and you are extending them to levels which I doubt he intended them to be taken too.

You're probably right and I'm just trying to understand what Steve is trying to communicate. I have a lot of respect for Steve and most of what he talks about makes total sense to me, but when it comes to all this Darkworker / Lightworker "stuff" it's like he totally loses me.
Not because I don't understand the words that he is saying or the metaphors that he's presenting, but because this whole Lightworker/Darkworker thing seems totally inconsistent with everything he's said up until now.
It's kind of like if Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle all of a sudden decided to work together with Donald Trump to build the worlds largest Casino in Vegas. I have a lot of respect for Chopra and Tolle, but if they made that move it would seem out of character for me. It would be ok for Trump to open a casino, as that's his thing.
Anyway, whatever... maybe I should just listen to a spiritual coach of mine and ignore Steve's Darkworker / Lightworker thing.
Every metaphor can be pushed too far and thereby made meaningless. If this concept could be described simply and logically and be 100% internally consistent, we wouldn't have to use metaphor.[/quote]
