Unhappy this podcast is like one big problem for me...

Steve, didn't you somewhere say that a darkworker can believe in Subjective Reality? Because that seems to go completely against what you say in this podcast - in SR, one is fundamentally safe.

Secondly, you state very firmly in this podcast that a darkworker will experience threats and scarcity.
Threats seem to come from what you’ve said is darkworker syndrome.
And scarcity doesn't seem like something one could get a lot of power with, darkworkers being about power and wealth being power in this world.
The podcast also says that darksiding fills your life with problems (at 14:35). If I were to believe in this podcast, I would never choose the dark side.
Couldn’t a darkworker believe that because they are so great (self-respect) and deserving, the world would support them, and that’s what they would experience?
After all, people in general do support people who radiate confidence and certainty - whether that confidence comes from being dark or light - as long as those confident people don't attack them, which seems to be all syndrome.

Thirdly, I don't see how the question of safety polarizes somebody.
They might say they're safe, but they'll do anything, including crush other people, to be more than safe, to ensure their own happiness and have power.
Or on the other hand, someone might say they're not safe, but as "I only have this life, I'll be sure to make the best of it for all by leaving the world in a better state than I found it in."
