I like the concept of Selfworker, Worldworker too. I read a book by Stuart Wilde a few yrs back that outlined the natural stages of man/woman in cronological terms. From memory Wilde believed that in our twenties we are ego, physical, sexually driven and 'it's all about me.' In our thirties we expand into family, home, security, then from our fourties onwards, depending on how successfully we've managed the early stages, we overflow into community, country, world.
To extend beyond ourselves, we first have to first know ourselves well and have fullfilled our own needs. Some people will get there sooner and some never make it past first base. Some people's needs are more easily met, while some need more.
