I think Star Wars is a very spiritual trilogy. Yes, I think the dark side and light side are analogous to lightworking and darkworking. It's probably even true that people who can move things with their mind and recieve information psychically (and whatever else the force does) can highten their power by polarising. I remember hearing about one telekinecist who needed to put herself into an utter rage to get her abilities to work, so much that she caused damage to herself. Other telekinecists (I knew one personally) meditate to improve their abilities, which would be analogous to the light side.
I remember I got caught up in the "dark side" once myself... seriously. My supernatural abilities were quite impressive then, but I paid such a huge price. It's like Yoda says... the dark side is quicker and more addictive, but it's not more powerful.
