I agree! (hope you were sitting down for that one). In my view, I would label the negative aspect of the scale as "Lack of love" and its opposite as "Love". Love is defined as pure connectedness, and lack of love as seperation. Fear is, of course, at its highest at the "lack of love" pole, while at "love" there is an absence of fear.

I, for one, have really appreciated your thoughts on this and its made me think and clarify my own thoughts too, so thank you for bringing this up. I hope I havent been too much of a frustration to you - I'm not sure that I've understood what you are really saying. I get that you are earnestly trying to get something across, but I believe I have missed it. Perhaps at some point I might actually look at steve's darkworker/lightworker theory in more detail. I suspect that would be helpful for any future discussion on the topic
