Now the interesting thing is that these paths lead to the same place. For example, when we act as darkworkers from total self-interest, we eventually see that we must account for the health of the whole body. If the body dies, we go down with it, which does not serve our own needs. When we act as lightworkers from a passion for service, we eventually recognize that our own well-being plays a big part in our ability to serve. If we don’t thrive as individuals, we aren’t much good to anyone else.

What's also interesting is if they both end up in the same place, why is polarizing important or effective in some way? If being polarized eventually makes one realize one can't operate that way - isn't that saying don't be polarized?

But the key you must understand is that if you don’t pick a path and really throw your whole life into it, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll achieve your own happiness. You’ll never tap into your deepest levels of motivation, and you’ll always end up wondering what might have been. Your life will fill up with excuses instead of action and results. “Why bother?” will become your mantra… or “I don’t have the energy.” If you really want to live out your existence as a hapless drone, that’s your choice. But be certain it’s a choice you’re making consciously, rather than something that’s been conditioned into you.

The path I see is to expand myself from being focused on myself interests (darkworker) to be able to focus and give to a larger sphere of others. When I expand attention I can't do it without first feeling solid in myself (darkworker work) or stop focusing on what I want too. That darkworker work stays with me while I expand and add the lightworking parts. Service to others includes service to self or you are a heading toward lightworker syndrome.
It's not a path or a polarity in my thoughts, it's an expansion. I don't have thoughts like you say I would while recognizing that I must feel good about myself (darkworker) before I can touch someone else (lightworker). And it's not something that if I don't polarize one way I'll be unable to be happy or achieve.
