And that's exactiy the point. If my intentions are to spend a huge amount of the money on myself (=self interest), whre is the border whrer this makes me a darkworker even if I provide a huge amount of value to get that money?

So which of these people provided more value: the person who makes $1,000,000/mo and gives it all away, or the person who makes $1,000,000/mo, spends $100/mo on hosting and equipment and time to write a personal development blog, and spends the rest on themselves?

Of course the second one. But that still doesn't tell me something about why this person created the value in the first place. And if he provided the value with the intention to spend the money earned on himself, wouldn't exacty that make him a darkworker?

Or does it all accumulate to the question "Am I ultimately safe", as Steve suggests? That seems to be more usable to distinguish. I have to believe Steve that he feels ultimately safe, and that makes him a lightworker no matter if he's in it for raising consciousness and making tons of money with it, of if his goal is to make tons of money, and he does that by providing lots and lots of value to help raising consciousness.

And that's part of your problem. In this case, there must be balance; lightworker syndrome is what will happen if you go too far. Then you can't help anyone, so you have a duty to avoid it.

If you ask me, I'm in it already - or at best on the straight way into it.

I wrote about that for business, but most of those principles will apply regardless of how you make your money - you can't tell the difference between a McDonalds run by a darkworker and a McDonalds run by a lightworker.

That could be right. And I'm going to read the post you've linkd to.

Thanks for your clarifications.
