Narrator,
Yes, that was the book
Good one isn't it? It's inspired me a lot though there remains much of it I don't understand or don't know whether to believe. The alchemical processes and the attitude of the alchemist have become an important part of my personal spiritual path, though.

The difference between lightworkers and darkworkers is not that they acknowledge one and deny the other. It's the order they place it in. "All of you are divine. I am divine." vs. "I am divine. I see my divinity reflected back to me."

Well, this is how the two viewpoints of
service to others vs.
service to self come together into
harmony of self with others to the benefit of all. I think the two ideas you've expressed above are basically the same.
Personally I think lightworking and darkworking make more sense as concepts when darkworking is seen as the decision to identify with the ego and the seperate sense of self totally, while lightworking is seen as the decision to recreate your identity as an interdependent part of the greater body of humanity. The ego says, "I want power, control, dominance, etc. I only care about me". If a person REALLY decides that they want to serve themselves, then they need to align with reality and that involves aligning with the fact that they are part of existence and not made to be seperate. Lightworking would be seen as the "sensible" thing... for a person. For an ego, of course, darkworking is what is sensible. A darkworker needs to realise that he is not an ego to ever really reach his goal of self-service, but that is very hard when you decide to channel the ego thinking that it will help you get there.
