The way I find the ideas to be useful is when I see them as choosing either to channel the ego and become a servant of the ego, or to channel the light (love, the interconnectedness of all beings) and be a servant of that. Both give you rewards but require you to commit yourself to them totally.
Yes, lightworkers have egoes, but they control them. They might even use them, but they don't GIVE THEMSELVES to them. A darkworker is used by the ego.
I'd also mention that from the way I understand enlightenment, no-one could ever reach it by channelling and serving the ego. At least not intentionally. Darkworking as I see it is very deliberately running in the opposite direction as enlightenment. |
i agree with Andrew here. making a conscious decision to serve the self over everyone else implies service to the ego. in my understanding, it is the ego self that operates selfishly, and although lightworkers and darkworkers both reach an enlightened state eventually, like Andrew i see darkwork as a path that intentionally runs away from enlightenment.
although about ego control and lightwork, i'd say that is not the best way to describe it in my view. there are some lightworkers who simply control the ego self, yes, and then there are some who have integrated the ego self and work in partnership with their core compassionate self.
