Because Steve didn't have that kind of clarity yet. He had a starting point, threw it out there to see what others thought so that he could get clearer.

It also seems to throw out the definition I was holding on to - darkworker:service to self, lightworker:service to others - since you have encapulated self or others in each case very nicely.

Yup, both serve both. THe difference is which one you intend to serve first.

I also like how clearly you put the fear and love stuff. I think I have been harping on fear being the dark/selfworkers realm and love being light/worldworkers. But lots of Steve's ideas seemed to say fear was the selfworker's motivation. So we'd be tossing something that Steve felt, perhaps.

Yup, the statement that SELFWorkers are motivated by fear is where I think Steve took a wrong turn. I think he corrected himself in the article where he said SELFWorkers can reach enlightenment too, but he didn't make the connection that it involves using love energy not fear energy to accomplish that. It's just SELF love vs. WORLD love.

Yeah - whether or not it's useful to polarize is something else and can only be discused once we really understand what it is to polarize.

Exactly.

On that note, and with your definitions, I would ask to see some clarity about what motivation is and how it is to be described or classified into self or world feelings. And how polarized motivational feelings are able to not have the feelings of the other side be part of the motivation but still is part of the equation in some way (expecting or knowing the other side will be taken car of too?).

Oh, that's an easy one! Since I think I'm a SELFWorker, however, I'll have to charge you $29.99 for the answer though.
Just kidding. No, the answer to that is that BOTH sides contain the motivation within their intention but they leave it up to "the universe" to figure it out.
This might not be the best example of this as it's just describing context, but a SELFWorker might set an intention like this:
"I am attracting $5,000,000 to me right now." Now, because this SELFWorker is love oriented, his beliefs of "To get $5M in value from the world I will have to provide much more of that in service." He would expect the universe to bring him a project or something that would provide $5M worth of value to the world in order for him to get paid on it.
In other words SELFWorkers would start with what THEY want and then let the universe tell them what they have to GIVE in order to receive that.
A WORLDWorker would do things differently... They would set an intention like this:
"Universe, allow me to help the world become a more peaceful place" or "Allow me to help people become more intelligent" or whatever it is they want to GIVE to the world. And then because they are love oriented they know that they will get "paid" for it. They might get "paid" $1 MIllion for doing it, or $5Million, or $30,000 or whatever.
An example would be if Steve started his blog to help the world without any expectation to make any specific amount, and now makes $10-$30k/month, but he didn't start with that as an intention.
Hope that clarifies it?
