The only part about all this where Steve was right was when he said only the intention was different. His Jedi/Sith analogy was way off, because the behavior is completely different. The point of Lightworker/Darkworker and polarity is to overcome 2 fears, which are really only 2 sides of one fear.
The fear is that if I give entirely of myself, who will watch my back? If I focus entirely on myself, how will I maintain my humanity. Both fears are really two sides to the same fear, that In giving you are deprived of something, and in taking you deprive someone else of something.
The way to overcome this fear is to give in entirely to one or the other, and know that the Universe will take care of the rest. Once you give in entirely to taking without fear, or giving without fear, the results have no observable difference.
Your behavior is the same no matter which you choose. You conquer and transcend both fears. It's like blasting a hole in a wall. By conquering (Blasting a hole) the wall, you transcend the need to deal with it further. You can simply go through the hole. The fact that the other side of the wall still exists is irrelevant.
Polarity is a method for conquering and transcending fear.
You can give and take with fear, and that's where the confusion originates. When you give with fear, you hold back. When you take with fear, you are deceptive, and dishonest. When you give without fear, you give wholly and completely, and realize that what you give offers a return. When you take without fear, you take wholly, and realize that by doing so, you offer the giver a gift, without any conscious effort on your part.
I often ask my Dad for help on projects. He has the right to say No, but he always help, because he likes it. He tells me that he enjoys spending time with me. He Feels closer to me than ever. He looks forward to helping me.
It may seem selfish to take, take, take from him, but in doing so, I am giving a great gift. I give an emotional bond, and a sense of satisfaction. I give joy. What I get is needed assistance, and emotional bond, and joy. That is what taking and giving without fear is. |
