You have to see both paths in terms of the larger picture, without the corresponding prejudice that has built up over the years.
In reality, its the same energy, one directed inwardly, the other directed outwardly.
People who are polarized and have sufficient skill can over-ride the natural currents, this is precisely what makes polarization in either direction powerful.
The problem is, people are in this angel-devil mindset -- which means, there are a lot of Lightworkers who see their path-walk as all love and compassion, so they refuse to acknowledge the balanced downside that comes with it.
Which, I wouldn't really care, except for the fact that they keep scapegoating the left-hand path with it.
Just as Darkworkers tend to become more isolated as they progress, Lightworkers have a tendency to become more finatical. In fact, not being able to accept corruption of the energy, and who it manifested through, is a form of finaticism itself.
I'm just amazed that so many people feel they can talk about Darkworking with authority, without ever having walked the path. And I'm sorry, but being a bit of a klepto, or an alcoholic, or a thug, or a crack-head or whatever for a chunk of your life no more makes you a Darkworker than your average blood-drive volunteer is guaranteed to be a Lightworker. And, even if you are, you're an amateur and you probably suck at it. |
