If you identify as a lightworker, who enjoys working for the good of others, and you do things for people and it makes you feel good inside - that's awesome. You identify with the greater collective good and fulfilling that path resonates within you.
uh oh - look at the language. 'You' enjoy it? it makes 'you' feel 'good'? it resonates within 'you'?
uh oh! Motivated by self-feelings, self-dreams, self-paths....doesn't that make you a darkworker?
Aiiiiiiiii!
In all seriousness: I think everybody does everything that they do because of a need to satisfy a personal agenda. If you are selfless because you want to (get into heaven/be recognized as an advanced soul/feel good about yourself/impress the hot new-age chick) that is a selfish act. Its an act to make you feel good. So don't talk about darkworkers being selfish and selfishness being evil, because everyone acts out of self interest, and it isn't either good or evil.
I'd further attest that unless you are engaging in behavior that is painful (and you don't enjoy suffering on some spiritual level), you aren't really being selfless, and even then you'd have to wonder. A mother starving herself to feed her children is selfless as long as she's doing it for no reason other than love of her children - if she's doing it becuse society would condemn her, or Jesus would condemn her, or because it just makes her feel bad to eat, she's doing it for a selfish reason.  |
