Thanks for sharing that Scin. Obviously this tends to prove me wrong when I think light and dark can't be friends. I'll have to think about that.

The vamping that you feel is actually NOT from Darkworking.

Yeah you make me think guys. I am changing my opinion a bit and I think what you say here is right. (At least my reason tells me this is right, although I still have some issues with darkworking).
Actually I have read an article written by Steve about How to Stay Conscious While Under Attack.. The "attacks" he describes in the article are quite close to the vamping I feel when I am around negative people, (although I don't feel angry when "attacked", just drained) . My mistake is apparently that I consider low awareness people darkworkers, which they are not. They are just low conscious people. I also realise I have a great part of responsibility in this vamping I feel. So yeah, maybe it is NOT from darkworking.

I just quote this because it will help me explain my internal resistance to darkworking, why I feel darkworkers do exploit others. (again, this is about me and what I feel, I don't claim to hold the truth) :
I feel that many leaders (politic and economic leaders) in the world are darkworkers, motivated not by personal growth but by money and material things. I also feel that it is in their best interest to keep the population in low states of consciousness and fear so that they don't ask themselves too many questions. Therefore they keep having the same values than the leaders (money, social status etc.), and they don't chose their own belief. They therefore serve the values of the leaders, and have jobs that serve the leaders. Fear keeps them from being themselves fully.

"No self serving individual wants to lose his power".
"Control is necessary for those in power to maintain and increase their power. Most manipulative tactics are designed to make people predictable, and what can be predicted can be controlled. To make people predictable, they must be deprived of knowledge, physical and vital energy, initiative, willpower, and individuality. All impulses that cannot be suppressed are diverted toward serving an agenda, and as the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions." (It's a quote from Transcending the Matrix Control System)

I want to stay serious, but probably a part of me tends to believe in some theories of conspiracy. I don't want to fall into David Icke's paranoïa or anything, but you know, things like the bilderberg group where world leaders make sure they protect their common values make me think.

However, leaders are probably not so highly conscious people.

Also, in this forum, Erin once wrote that conscious darkworkers can and DO affect lightworkers.. She didn't mention it was in a negative way though. I just (mis?)interpreted it this way.

I have to think about that again anyway.

With that I agree 100%. I even said the same thing in another thread. Lightworkers who act on the world and reduce other's people's freewill are often very dangerous. Lightworkers SHOW the light, and let people decide for themselves. But I am going off topic here.
