But if you grow your fear energy you'll hurt the world, guaranteed. For love energy, the converse is true. Basically this is Good and Evil, and I know some people don't like those words because Evil implies a judgement, but the forces of Good and evil DO EXIST, they are powerful forces, and they affect everything we do. If you want to, you can serve one of these forces. You will need to become conscious of their existance first though.

I respectfully disagree. This is counter to my own experience and my studies.
90% of the time it seems that -workers disagree with the way they're described by people on the other side of the spectrum; I urge anyone who is curious to keep that in mind. Lightworkers tend to think darkworkers are psychotic parasites who want nothing more than to devour the world whereas darkworkers tend to think of lightworkers as self-righteous airheads who are completely detached from reality. Neither is true, though I wouldn't say the stereotypes have no basis. They always do. Think of these cases as cautionary tales; they represent the negative side of each path.
Coming from the darker end of things, it seems that it's impossible to progress very far as a darkworker without a strong code of personal ethics. You need to know where you stand in regard to other people and you need to have a firm grasp of cause and effect. It would be delusional to say dark energies are not destructive, but it is oft forgotten that destruction is positive when harnessed well. Those devoted to darkworking use destructive energies primarily to conquer their inner demons. They will use it against their enemies, too, but this is fairly rare. It's almost always reserved for extreme cases wherein another has willfully directed their power against the darkworker.
Just to make it perfectly clear, do not buy into the idea that becoming a darkworker means becoming a psychopath. I guarantee that will destroy you if you take it far enough. If you're really interested in darkworking, look for people who call themselves darkworkers and listen to what they have to say. After you've done that, talk to lightworkers and contrast what you've seen with what they say. Make up your own mind and choose what seems best to you.
