I don't believe the question is about which direction energy is flowing... despite what Steve says, balance
will be achieved. An equal amount is flowing out as is flowing in.
The question is, which direction are you pushing? Do you push out, so that the universe pushes around in a loop and back in to achieve balance? Or do you pull in, so that the universe reaches around back and pulls out to achieve balance?
Either way, the results will look the same. If you push good things out, then good things will come into your life, and you can decide whether that's a new car, a vacation, health, or whatever. If you pull a new car, a vacation, better health or whatever into your life, then some price will be exacted. Either way, you end up with a car/vacation/health, and paid out in some benefit to the rest of the universe. Both ways work; you just have to apply the force.
The problem comes with trying to push and pull at the same time. If you push energy out and then pull it in and then push it out.... you'll end up with vacillating energies and thoughts, but very little accomplished. (Until you learn to harness the power of alternating current.

I also
started a thread to discuss specifically the myths and facts about darkworkers. I figure it's related, but different enough we don't want it cluttering up this thread. (Plus it's likely to be controversial, and I don't want to start arguments here.)
