Narz, I'm not entirely happy with "lightworker" and "darkworker" as labels either, but I presently have no better terminology for the concepts I'm trying to express. If you don't want to use them, then you have to propose functional alternatives. I don't think we can maintain a debate if we're not even using the same language.
I never said that lightworkers are morally superior. In fact, I'm a moral relativist - I want to create a world based on love and conscious unity, but I have never claimed, and will never claim, that there is some absolute principle that makes me right in doing so. I can't help feeling that you're projecting your own issues with other people onto me.
And just to finalise a key point (which Steve has made already in the articles): those who polarise with outflow (since you don't like "lightworkers") can want the exact same things as their opposites - just for different reasons. I want to follow in Steve's footsteps by finding a way of making money which leaves me with plenty of free time. I can want this because I'm lazy, because I'm afraid of screwing up in a full-time job, because I'm really ambitious and need time and energy to hone skills etc., or because it'll give me more time to write, paint, do volunteer work etc.. The polarity is determined, as far as I can tell, by why you want your ultimate end, not what you do to get there.
Of course I want abundance. I'd have to be self-destructive not to. Polarising completely with outflow is a leap of faith in a way - you have to trust that the return flow will work and you won't end up penniless on the street. Maybe that's why the adjustment process has to be gradual. The difference is between wanting money, success and the rest because they'll help you fulfil a love-based goal (which is hard to do if you do end up penniless on the street) and wanting them because they'll make you stronger/happier/more secure.
When you live for giving rather than taking, even with complete polarisation, you still look for the most effective way to give. And in the modern world, being rich and/or powerful greatly enhances your ability to do that. If you claim to be completely polarised to giving, and die of starvation, then you've betrayed your life's purpose - just like if you're completely polarised to taking, and declare pleasure as your goal, you'd be an idiot to kill yourself through drug abuse instead of living a long hedonistic life.  |
