It really makes me smile to read the lightworker threads! They have no idea. They think we all opperate the same way and that all of us are Evil! Every post gives me a chuckle.  |
But aren't you doing the very thing you are accusing them of -- lumping them into a stereotypical category? Not all lightworkers think darkworkers operate the same way.
Evil isn't a very specific label. Its like asking someone what evil is. What is it? How do you define "evil" or "good" for that matter? The labels: service to self, and service to others, (aka darkworker/lightworker) are a little more specific, in that the labels denote specific functionality. But people still get confused. Neither is evil OR good. Rather, they are pathways for conscious energy to take.
Both lightworkers and darkworkers serve self and serve others. Lightworkers serve self THROUGH others whilst darkworkers serve others THROUGH self. The lightworker would hold the wellbeing of the group above the wellbeing of themselves if they were in a position to have to choose. The darkworker, conversely, would hold the well being of their self over the well being of the group.
Cultivating self for selfish reasons is darkworking, and cultivating self for integration with others is lightworking. So many lightworkers think they are darkworkers because they want to develop themselves. But we have identities for a reason. We are to either integrate them harmoniously (lightworking), or bring order to chaos with our strength or force of will (dark working).
The lightworker wants everything to be distributed equally. The darkworker wishes to be elite. Often, a darkworker will take a "survival of the fittest" approach to things in life. Those who are strong enough, "deserve" things, and those who are not, are lesser beings whom the darkworker feels should be controlled "for their own good".
A good way to distinguish whether a given action is lightworker or darkworker is to ask yourself if the action is motivated by love of self, or love of others. Personally, I've never cared for the labels of "darkworker" or "lightworker", but there is some truth to the polarity concept and building metaphysical power within yourself.
