At first, that decision scared the heck out of me because it was completely different from my usual style of thinking but once I really let go it was like all those negative physical/emotional and unlucky events suddenly up and let go of me as well. Sure I have some bad days but nothing as remotely bad as it was on a daily basis before making that choice.

Incidentally, consider that even though you made that choice, you're now interacting here with people, even though it's for your own gain, you're still providing value and you're not closed off to people (like I would wager you were when you first said screw you to the world).
Indeed!
If what I say or do benefits someone else then I've nothing against it. I may put myself first but I've little desire to make others suffer by my deliberate actions since it would likely end up with me in trouble and that would only bog me down with legal stuff.

I tend to see Lightworker/Darkworker more as Buddhas and Arhats. One seeks enlightenment for all beings while the other seeks it only for themselves.

Must be what Steve's talking about when he said the paths will eventually converge. Thanks for your insights :-)
Could very well be!*nods*
