True. I've came to that conclusion before as well. I prefer to believe that by working with other conscious people, we can work towards and eventually achieve freedom for all, but perhaps I'm just being naive.

*Many darkworkers would say "loving everybody" is impossible because it dilutes love to the point that it's meaningless. Lightworkers would respond in kind by saying selective love isn't love at all and darkworkers who think they love are deluding themselves.
As an aside, I think it's accurate to say that darkworkers like struggle and scarcity. Anything that doesn't require a lot of effort to attain, or anything which is common, holds little value to those seeking excellence. Darkworkers cannot stomach mediocrity, especially in themselves, but you can't have mediocrity unless some people are indeed above other people. I imagine in a world where the necessities of life are a given and everyone has a chance to develop their talents, darkworkers would strive for excellence by doing things nobody else could replicate. Indeed, if there were no scarcity they would create it, albeit to a less dire degree than it exists today. (Assuming that world's paradigm were a stable one.) |
considering how strongly that resonates with me, perhaps I was meant to be a darkworker. my idea of striving for excellence is to attempt to create that ideal world, where such dualities cease to exist. that goal is lofty to the point of being arrogant, but it's been my dream for as long as I can remember. I suppose scarcity is inevitable though, because the more one grows, the more unique they become, until reaching the ultimate scarcity: there's only one of them to share with the entire world, and so the concept becomes them. in a twist of irony, hypothetically, if
everyone became wholly individual and unique, that 'ultimate scarcity' of being a unique person would become mediocrity. damn, I went in a circle. although, I've heard it said that one should seek to be ordinary, because being ordinary is in and of itself an expression of divinity. perhaps the answer lies somewere in that.

thats why I'm here! And that's what I love about personal developement, how everything worth knowing is so decievingly simple on the surface, frustratingly complex underneath, and embarassingly obvious once fully understood. I caught that theme again when I first opened 'power vs. force' yesterday:
"the skillful are not obvious. they appear to be simple-minded. those who know this know the patterns of the Absolute. to know the patterns is the Subtle Power. the Subtle Power moves all things and has no name."
Thank you for the insight you have provided. I feel that I understand the paradigm of the darkworker, and its relation to me, much better now. I'm so grateful to have a place like this to discuss the things that interest me most.
