If it's only a difference in the main motivations then how does a darkworker actually end up realizing other's importance in achieving what's best for the others? I've always thought nothing happens or gets acted on unless the individual is sufficiently motivated to do some sort of action.

If a darkworker does nothing to try to pay attention to others (I understand people are saying darkworkers don't go out of their way to hurt people - but did you know ignoring is acutally worse than some negative attention?) how does a darkworker actually "end up" realizing and doing anything about others?

Yes, Steve is going against some spiritual writings that I've read, Buddhist stuff actually. I read something last night about how being devoted to the self is really the cause of all the suffering on earth right now. There are so many people and countries looking out for their own interests they aren't looking around at what's happening to the world - just trying to get more. OK, tell me they are sick darkworkers and need to realize that others need to be taken care of too - what does that mean? To realize other's is expanding to the lightworker's realm!

To be dedicated to one's self as a path of eventually realizing that it doesn't work that way, sounds more like one starts with being motivated to serve self but eventually finds it's more joyful and less painfull to be able to expand your motivation to include others - that's not shifting some polarity type thing - it's growth from being self centered and non-carring.
