Default false dichotomy

I think this whole darkworker/lightworker dichotomy is a false one.

If our thoughts and intentions manifest into our reality, and the "subjective reality" model that is proposed is correct, then the dichotomy between dark and light is nonexistant.

This is because the universe is ultimately an expression of the individual, and vice versa. And other people are also an expression of the individual, which is again a reflection of the greater consciousness that is the universe.

Of course, one can choose to either serve oneself, or serve the whole, but I think an individual with a certain amount of consciousness will realize that the endpoint is ultimately the same.

One can choose to direct energy towards themselves, or towards others, but ultimately, both the individual and the collective must be nurtured.

The ego is an important vehicle for us to use to experience reality, and we must support that through self-serving actions. But we must also contribute to the reality of others if we are navigate through the world effectively.

So why put these things into dualisms? Serve all, serve one. Ultimately they are one in the same. At least this is what Steve has claimed in other blog postings...
