Default This whole light/darkworker argument

Wondering what others think.

The problem is, it seems like a lot of people who think they're lightworking, could really be darkworking. The most evil men and women in history, who did the most damage, really thought they were making the world a better place.
And a lot of darkworking may actually have a different net effect than intended, hundreds of years down the road. Genghis Khan, that fun guy that he was, had a hand in helping to end the dark ages.

And the irony is that admitting you're selfish and owning it, lets others know where you stand. Which is actually a very UNSELFISH thing to do.

I'm a PUCEworker...

That's where the consciousness works.

Pyrogen,

I think it is a misconception of the polarity concept to judge someone's polarization by their actions. Negatie results of actions don't create a darkworker, and positive results don't create a lightworker.


Polarization won't predict what actions you will take. Btw, most people aren't polarized at all. It is a deliberate choice you take, or don't take. Personally, I believe many of the historical rulers that are today put into an darkworking category not to be polarized, they just went along and did what was necessary (or what they thought so), sometimes things that we consider as destructive today.

Darkworking isn't about doing damage. It is not "evil".
And as I am really, really selfish, i will tell you that nobody in my real life thinks me so, because I benefit a lot from their high opinion of my character

Even if you are a polarized lightworker, you might do thingy that will not benefit other people as you intended. But this is not a fault of polarization, it is a fault of judgement. Those are two different things.

Evilness is no useful concept. It also has nothing to do with the argument about lightworker and darkworkers.

You're confusing light/dark with good/evil. "Evil" isn't what darkworker means.

I'm a bit confused by this. Why wouldn't a person's actions reveal what polarity they are? It's definitely true that you can't judge them by the result of their actions, but actions reveal people's true nature. That's what I think anyway. What else would reveal the polarity of someone besides their actions?

The only answer I can come up with is the intent of their actions, but you can usually tell what that is by the action itself.

Can you really? If someone gives some coin to a street musician, and the musician plays a tune, was that the action of a lightworker or a darkworker?

A different question: why do you need to know someone's polarity? Why do you care? Why do any of you care? If you're in need of heroes and examples, then I'd say you probably aren't polarized anyways.

I have absolutely no idea. I was just saying that it's easier to tell who someone is by their actions than by what they say or by the results of their actions. If you followed that person for a long time and observed their actions over the course of years, then you would probably know what polarity they are.

I never said I cared. In fact, I don't even agree with the whole lightworker/darkworker thing. I don't understand the advantage of choosing one over the other. I don't like to categorize people at all. I'm participating in this discussion to try and understand the viewpoints of other people. I don't know why you made all of those assumptions.

Mostly because I've been annoyed by the lightworker/darkworker thing ever since it appeared on the forums.

Yeah, it doesn't resonate with me either.

road to hell is paved with good intentions, just ask Jimmy Carter, who was far too inconsistent to be "polarized"

I don't agree with the idea that you need to decide to polarize, easier to decide to have a focus, and take little steps by saying "no" to things, eventually you'll clean out a lot of inconsistencies in your life and will be close to being polarized
