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.

I think that question is a better one, for a couple of reasons. For one, as I've said, it's hard to know for sure why you're doing it. At least, I have a hard time - it's very easy for me to lie to myself and say that I'm doing it to help others. But your attitude towards the money you already have is a test you can use again and again and again - to keep an eye on the changes inside you.

I haven't found any hard and fast guidelines, but some questions that might help are:
Did I attract this money because I see so much abundance in the world that I couldn't help but get some? Or did I attract it to protect myself from lack?

If I lost all this money, would I fear poverty? Or would I love life equally either way?

If I had a choice between never being able to spend money on myself again (no matter how rich I am I still have to beg on street corners for food) and never being able to give money away again, which would I choose?

I'm glad I have this much money because (a) It gives me power to protect myself and my loved ones (b) It gives me the ability to assist others without worrying about my needs.

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

I have to agree. I have problems with lightworker syndrome myself, so I recognize the symptoms.
