A darkworker thinks "how can I make this person love me?" A darkworker is just as capable of giving love as a lightworker, but they do it because their goal is to get love in return. If they didn't think they could get love in return, they wouldn't bother. A lightworker would love regardless of this though.
OK, I need to separate something to get it. It's the goal that is polarized not the experience nor the operating actions, then. So the darkworker's only goal is to get love. But while they get love, the giving love is like a side effect or a nesecary part of the equation to get the goal. It still begs the question - how does the darkworker give love? How is that side of the equation taken care of? How does something happen with no focus or goal focused on it? And what kind of attitude is the darkworker going to have with giving love? Is it restrained becuase the focus is only on getting love, not giving.

It seems a little strange to be thinking it's better to polarize with love. OK, I'll apply what you wrote. It's ok to totally focus on the goal of getting love, because really what happens during the interaction is you'd have to give love anyway.

I don't see how this approach would help someone be able to give love. I really don't. I mean, it's been said - let the universe take care of the other side of the polarization, so while one is totally focused on getting love - how does the giving happen? And as human nature goes if one is not used to giving love it's even harder to give if that's not a goal.

I think some people may read this stuff and come to the conclusion to become darkworkers and think they are wonderfull and end up kind of abusing someone because their bf/gf isn't getting any love in return and they have to pull it out of the darkworker or are very silent about it. And the darkworker can get stuck in the polarization for real (no love flowing out). I really hope people aren't doing this because it sounds dangerous to mental health.

Drat, I thought I understanded...

I like the way Steve put it -- a darkworker believes that fear is something to be conquered and channeled into energy, and a lightworker believes that fear is just an illusion and ultimately doesn't exist, thus drawing energy from love. Both can be used to get a lot of the same results though.
Is using fear as channeled into energy different than being motivated by fear? I mean, to use fear's energy one would have to be feeling it, which sounds like it's part of the equation.
