Hmm, I think it's more apt to say that at high levels people cease to be darkworkers or lightworkers and instead become twilightworkers. My thoughts are that there are two kinds of twilight: the unpolarized and those who ascend the limitations of either polarization. That means the high levels of darkworking or lightworking would actually be the transition into that phase.
Anyways, low-level darkworkers don't have to be evil either. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to figure out that you'll get ♥♥♥♥♥-slapped for compulsively lying and stealing and killing. All it takes is a little observation and a little forethought. Imagine you kill someone, and you get away with it. But you're paranoid; extremely paranoid. You run through the checklist in your mind: Did I hide the body well enough? Did I destroy the murder weapons? Am I certain that nobody could see me?
You're not powerful nor can you be satisfied when you're paranoid. You can work through the paranoia, you can laugh it off, maybe you wouldn't feel it at all, but it doesn't change the fact that you can usually get what you're after without putting your freedom and peace of mind at risk. That's not to say darkworkers are afraid of risk; they couldn't be darkworkers if they were. However, any risk-taker that wants to live the duration of his natural lifespan needs to be smart about it. On the surface you shouldn't see a difference between a darkworker and a lightworker. You don't need to be afraid of getting physically killed by them. At low levels it is true that you need to keep your guard up mentally and emotionally because they'll try to manipulate you, but aside from that they're fairly harmless.
It's the mid-level darkworker that understands there's nothing to be gained in draining other people of their energy to satisfy his own cravings. The diligent darkworker will go deeper and find the energy within his own soul to satisfy his greatest desires. The mid-level darkworker can move in the other direction, too; he can step up his efforts to manipulate, deceive, and destroy others. This means that one kind of mid-level darkworker understands that he cannot serve himself without serving others while the other turns manipulation and betrayal into an art form. The first kind would spit upon the second and say, "I'm better than that" whereas the latter would be too busy delighting in turning people into puppets to notice.
The high level darkworker will either move beyond darkworking or stagnate. The former has a charisma and confidence that's undeniable. At the very least he's very secure in himself and he's probably indistinguishable from any other upstanding member of society. Or maybe he's a rebel fighting for a worthy cause. High level darkworkers are vetted warriors that accomplish great feats by unconditionally trusting themselves and their abilities. Their resolve is unparalleled. Unless they stagnate, in which case they are the stereotypical vision of pure evil.
Lightworkers go through similar phases. They too can become quite evil, though it's unlikely they will remain that way beyond the first level. The danger a high-level, stagnated lightworker runs into is naivety and weakness. The lightworker that's ready to move beyond lightworking is a vetted warrior, much like the high-level darkworker, the difference is that they draw their power from the heights of heaven rather than the depths of their souls.
Both lightworkers and darkworkers are capable of tapping into love and fear. Both of them are capable of good and evil. Both of them can grow or stagnate. Consciousness determines the quality of one's chosen path. The darkworker that understands that he can best serve himself by serving others has grown. He's become more aware of the world within him and the world around him. He has a better understanding of cause and effect. He'll use that knowledge to his highest good and thus to the highest good of all. The lightworker that understands that he needs to take care of himself before he can serve others is also growing. He will use his knowledge to the highest good of all and then benefit himself.
The ones who stagnate never understand those principles. They simply become a stereotype. Their vision of light and dark is too rigid and they eschew truth in order to abide by a static image. In other words, the darkworker most likely to become pure evil is the darkworker that thinks it's what he's supposed to do, even if deep down he knows his true desires can't be fulfilled by that path. The lightworker who becomes weak and naive is the one who believes pure pacifism is the only righteous path, or that checking to see if someone has ulterior motives somehow violates the principles of unconditional love. Either way these people polarize because it's what they're supposed to do, so while their path is a conscious choice the result is a deeper slumber.
