I ask because I know that if this question were to be asked about a DW it would be easy to answer Yes!
Ask yourself this question and a lot of clarity will sink in.
My answer, "yes". If he is a true LW, on a degree of say 7+ he wouldnt flinch. So, are true DWs necessarily still evil all the time? (I assume, Evil = anti-human, to some worrysome degree).
At the same time, I think a LW or a DW both have the capacity to kill people and definitely animals. It depends on whether they have had exposure to such line of thought as vegetarianism. (I cannot say for sure whether Mother Teresa, MLK, Abe, etc were vegetarians. I know Mahatama Gandhi was cuz he had the exposure to Jainism where being a staunch vegetarian is default)
I'd like to believe that the Term DarkWorker could very well be replaced. We could call them Self-Light Workers or something.
I have read Mr. Pavlina's blog sincerely. I have gained. He is a man with focus. I have read words carefully. He did assert that DW and LW are the sides of the same coin. I agree.
Lord Mahavira attained Nirvan by meditation. His focus was not community service. He did not even give too many lectures. His focus was conquering thy self and become the greatest (Maha) warrior(Vir). |
You know its interesting, if I had the following choice;
- I die and 1 million random people are saved in that same instant.
or - I live and 1 million random people die in that same instant (me excluded naturally).
I'd pick the second one in a heartbeat. Simply reasoning for me, if I die and my 'special' perspective dies with me, why should I ever want to sacrifice myself? Me is gone at that point, or survival of 'me' is most certainly uncertain (now thats a tongue killer). I'd say a highly conscious lightworker would definitley pick option 1.
Does this say anything about me?
Dunno, maybe it does. I do know that I'm not a committed darkworker or lightworker (not yet and I'm ok with that).
Not to say that this particular discussion leads anywhere. Its a funky scenario though.

agree. But arent sincere and realized LWs supposed to weight the pro and cons each time too? Since the best option will always allow him to better server his purpose. We are assuming that he is a 7+ LW and runs little risk of having the LW syndrome.
I agree here too. Killing other people only really exposes him as a menace and, LW, DW or NPC... nobody wants a menace. (Mr. Pavlina quite rightly said that due to such brainless and DW-syndromic acts lots of NPCs are converting)
In Star Wars, where the Emperor declares war against the Jedis seemed out of place (running out of celluloid I guess). The main characters in the movie had access to all the kinds of energies they wanted. They must be even living forever (Yoda for example), then why not just wait for a better oppurtunity to get more power than declaring a war and running the risk of total annihlation. Come to think of it The Emperor might've tripped over a rock called Darkworker Syndrome.

Sure lightworkers are also weighing pro's and con's, or not? I don't know.
I drink beer.
About star wars;
Its a mind made construct. Some usefull lessons but don't read into it to much.
