[Plato]

Note: This thread is not for the purpose of discussing the value or validity of the darkworker/lightworker concept.

For those people looking to polarise either to "lightworking" or "darkworking" I think it would be useful to have a list of congruent beliefs on both sides.

I shall begin with some examples, If people could add to this list or correct it that would be awesome-

A Darkworker Believes:

1- Fundamentally I am mortal
2- There is no objective morality; the irrational will rules all
3- Most people have a herd mentality
4- The herd are unworthy failures
5- Love and friendship are fascades
6- The world is a competitive place
7- Religion is justification of weakness and represents bonds of oppression upon the strong.
8- The will to power underlies all decisions. All other motivations are symptoms of herd mentality.
9- The highest good is to dominate others and further one's own good

It is not crazy to think that Nietzsche's concept of the "Ubermensch" is in fact equivalent to that of a darkworker. Aligning one's world views with those of Nietzsche would in fact lead you to darkworking. To him the concept meant an individual who surpassed humanity. Some examples of individuals he considered to be Ubermensch...

Goethe
Beethoven
Napoleon
And himself

A Lightworker Believes:

1- Fundamentally I am immortal
2- There is no objective morality; but compassion dictates actions
3- All people are fundamentally one
4- I love everyone
5- Love and friendship are abounding and everywhere
6- We are all on the same team here
7- Religion when practiced well is a guide towards the realisation of enlightenment and oneness.
8- The will to joy underlies all decisions. All other motivations are symptoms of fear and delusion
9- The highest good is to share love with others and further the good of the whole world

This is best expressed in the philosophy of Hinduism. See the Upanishads and Bhagavad-gita.
