This I know. It's my next project.

Would an example of shedding light like this be the way you always write about animals having to suffer so that people can eat them?

Ok, that was my next question, if you had to be 100% lightworker to help others, because now that I know more how this lightworker/darkworker/NPC behavior is manifest in practical life and human relations, it's hard for me to imagine that I could become 100% lightworker even in a lifetime.

So all I have to do is decide and commit? Which I think I did decades ago, but not committed with any knowledge about it or about the existence of polarization...I mean, one always strives to be good and honest all the time and goes out of one's way not to hurt others (and instead ends up getting hurt by them), but without a certain knowledge or awareness, one may be more vulnerable to the dark side and I have been. I've hurt myself, not so much others.
