How to become a lightworker: a step-by-step guide

[Andrew Gubb]

I feel a fairly newly minted lightworker, but heck, I think I can outline the process which I've just been through and which is continuing to happen in my life

First, recognise you're in a world of darkness.

Then, forgive the darkness.

Realise you are not part of the lies and illusion. Stop putting your energy into the illusion. Shed layers and layers of falsity in your life until you become your true self. Lose your old habits, your old addictions, your old relationships, everything you used to think was important. Die to yourself.

But do this BECAUSE you're waking up to a new perspective, don't run away from your old stuff, just let it drop away because you're waking up to something more important.

Realise that you want to express love primarily in your life, that all of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the society of illusion isn't love, isn't real, isn't you.

Realise that when you are aligned with love in a world of darkness, the most important thing, the most necessary way of expressing love is to help remind people of love's existence, help people get to the light in whatever way you feel drawn to.

Realise that this is THE MOST F*CKING IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD.

Keep reminding yourself of it, find ways of deepening this feeling, meditate on sending light to the world, visualise the world of love, intense love, joy, creation and play. Keep your sights on that.

Keep connected to people and give yourself away. Give, give and give again. Give for its own sake, but arrange structures in your life so that some of the giving will bring monetary return. Have faith that money will come to you, the moment you fear scarcity and try to force the universe to cough up you've become unpolarised.

Just keep giving, giving giving. Look for ways of maximising your contribution. Think about your greatest talents and the world's greatest needs. Get out there. Do it. Eventually it'll have a snowball effect and you'll be self-sustaining your polarisation, it will feel natural and easier than NOT doing it.

Done

Love

I'd say there is a very simple way to achieve this: care.

I first learned about light-workers in Paulo Coelho novels (I'm not sure if you're familiar with his works).
I tried researching about them in the internet but got discouraged with the results.
There was nothing substantial, at least in my point of view, enough to make me continue.

Is there any group you have to join to become a light-worker?
I mean, can you already call yourself a light-worker after doing the things listed above?

PS: I just joined the forum and this is my first post
I've been reading Steve and Erin's blog for several months already but I have never really read the forum until recently.
I feel grateful and lucky to be part of this forum/movement/cause..

There's no official organization on either side of the spectrum. If somebody tells you that you have to join them, they just want to exploit you. Even if they have good intentions that's what they'll end up doing.

There's something Andrew forgot to mention that is overlooked far too often in these discussions: total responsibility. If you do not take 100% responsibility for your life, or you are not in the process of doing so, you are not polarized. A polarized person forsakes victimhood and instinctively asks themselves, "why did I choose this?" whenever something happens to them. (If you're not there yet, you can begin grooming yourself for it by consciously asking the question after the fact.)

Until then, talk of polarizing is no different than saying that, one day, you will be a millionaire. That's great, but how do you plan on getting there? If you don't have a plan of action and you don't have the energy behind you to feel confident about your goal, you'll need to go under the hood and work on yourself until it feels like it's within reach.

[Andrew Gubb]

Hey diwata, being a lightworker is something you feel inside, it's a very personal sense of responsibility/mission, so if some organisation is giving you your lightworker-hood on a piece of paper, you are not doing it right

I think it's a bit hard to get what this is all about until you actually dive into a polarity. It's like an orgasm, you can't explain to a lady who has never come what it feels like. OK, you can describe the intensity, but you can't make her really get that.

It's something you're called to, so in a way you can't make it happen before its time. But if you're not called, you're probably not going to be very interested in it anyway.

Basically at some point in your growth you may start to see how much people need help, how much cruelty, injustice and waste goes on in the world. Most people have no idea. They don't want to see it. Why would they, if seeing it would mean that everything in their life would have to change?

It's like an expansion. Rather than focusing on small schemes, you start thinking about the grand plan for your life. Can you give yourself utterly to helping the world live in a state of love and joy like it was created for? Can you right the wrongs in the world with love? Or, do you want to raise yourself above the world, fight off the darkness and hold fast to your individual self, and reach a state of glory which outshines everyone? These are the light polarity and the dark polarity, respectively. (I've never felt the "orgasm" of being in the dark, so that one I can only describe roughly based on what Cado has told me)

This kind of ties in with what Cado says but to become polarised you need to have a strong sense of authority. You can't allow anyone else to tell you how to live your life or what to be. YOU ARE YOUR OWN MAN. So there is no "should" in lightworking or darkworking. It's all about the destiny you choose for yourself.

Andrew

[diwata]

Thanks for your post Cado and Andrew.
They do more than answer my questions.

I have new questions though but I'll try to answer them myself.
(after your answers, I felt stupid for asking the questions I posted before )

I've seen a lot of threads related to this topic so I think I can start with them.
Thank you again..

[Mynder]

Never be afraid to ask questions.

[royster]

Excellent posts, all of you. From what I read, Andrew has a very good grasp on his journey. I commend him for sharing, because through sharing, EVERYBODY learns. And what do Lightworkers DO? ;work for the general benefit of ALL.

At the present moment, it may appear that the term "Lightworker" is used as a sort of status; it is not. It is a definition of one's journey in cooperation with the larger universes...being a perfect fractal, if you will. KNOWING that the fibers of the third dimension are thought/light, and how to operate within that framework harmoniously.

And sharing this information.

Yes, lightworker is definitely not some sort of status. Most people would like the ego-trip but becoming a lightworker is very humbling. And requires you opening up your heart and accepting a LOT of pain and suffering you would prefer to close yourself to. Lightworking isn't so head-in-the-clouds glorious.

Hi diwata,

seems like you are a filipina (tagalog word for fairy.)
There is a lightworkers group on facebook, be sure to look them up.
They have weekly activities and seminars which you could try!
Thanks!

[diwata]

hello demystify,

Yes, I'm a Filipina I assume you are a Filipino too because you saw that.

Thank you for the information.
I just joined two lightworkers groups in facebook.
Actually there is another group but it has 1 member only.

Which one are you part of ?

[JarethLee]

hi diwata, demistify, andrew and everyone else.

The Lightworkers group in Manila is a very loving and supportive group for exploring spiritual growth, but it's actually not in the context of Steve's concept of "lightworker".

Are you guys based in Manila? I'd actually like to personally meet another Steve fan. (this is OT.. there's a Philippines thread on like page 3 or 4 of local groups I think. )

[diwata]

Hello Jareth,

I already said hi on the local group thread.

How different is the local lightworkers group from Steve's concept?

It is good to know that this system works either way though.

No problem if you're a darkworker I'm glad you got some value out of my post.

Why do we have to see that we are in a world of Darkness?

Here are some of my observations from researching this subject myself:

I think polarity has more to do with magnetism than light and darkness. I think of it as positive and negative. You gain power by building up either a positive or negative charge. The positive radiates the negative absorbs.

Both Polarities use light but the Positive Polarity Radiates light and the Negative polarity absorbs light.

I am thinking of doing a lightworker trial myself. I previously did a 30 day darkworker trial.

You see the pain, you want to heal the pain. It brings you out of self-centred desires into a global consciousness - healing the suffering of the world is a powerful inspiring goal which can give you the energetic kick in the ass to get polarising.

Ok I get you, now. I guess I see that too, its just that in the past seeing that paralyzed me. I guess now I feel like if I am to be a Lightworker I need some type of positive motivation. But I can see where you are coming from.

[billionairekid]

Thanks Andrew for sharing this post. I have never really researched or heard much about lightworkers or darkworkers but this has made me more curious as I have already taken 100% responsibility for everything in my life and I want to give back to the universe in some way. Are there any sources you can recommend?

One - your heart

There's a polarity sticky in this forum section... tells you all sorts of stuff - posts by Steve.

Ummm and darkworkers.com is good for darkworkers I guess.

Enjoy

Thanks - I agree, I was in a negative place when I wrote this - coming out of it fast though. Positive motivation? To help, to contribute, to live connection. However an awareness of the state of the world is vital. In a world of love, peace and joy we'd be building towers. In this world we are fighting fires. Get it?

wait i am confused, how could a lightworker and darkworker coexist, maybe I'm not 100% sure in what a darkworker is... if a lightworker is awakened to reality, than a darkworker has buried himself in illusion and is hurting everyone around them... shouldn't they be neutralized? Of course with compassion for the larger organism, of which they are part of.

EDIT: AH , I think I may be a darkworker lol, just googled it, its spiritually searching inwards rather than outwards. I wanted to search outwards, to do good to the universe for the longest time, its an inherent part of my personality. But then I realized that maybe I have to look within myself to be the best that I can possibly be in this life, since all of whom who have reached "enlightenment" have done so by deep examination of self, not through helping others. And then I rationalized, once I reached such a state, giving would be natural, it would be the only thing I could do.

I have seen such a state of fullfillment, there are times when I am completely fullfilled in being and the only thing I know how to do is give, since there is nothing more I could gain for myself.

[billionairekid]

I'm having trouble deciding which path to take. I'm having trouble because the end result of all my goals align very powerfully with the lightworker path. Actually, most of my motivation comes from the lightworker path as well. Here's my question: can I work towards personal fulfillment while being a lightworker?

I'm confused by the giving and recieving aspect. I want to receive a lot of different things (wealth, fame, immortality - through history remembering me and my deeds). But the only way I'm going to achieve any of these is through giving and I plan to give a lot. My giving is ultimately going to lead to a rise in global consciousness. I do have a deep desire to master my universe and I'm not one to do much for individuals (as far as giving goes). Obviously this leaves me split down the center, right?

How do I figure out what is the best path for me? Giving is a huge part of achieving my overall goal of personal satisfaction but that is entirely dependent upon my ability to help raise consciousness (a lightworker trait). I have no interest in sucking energy from anyone, hurting someone to gain a foot up for myself, or anything like that.

Can you help Andrew?

I can give specifics if needed.

[billionairekid]

I guess now that I've thought about it, even my personal desires have the end result of raising consciousness for others (or that's my intention at least). My desire for complete mastery of my reality is only there because I want to show other people that it's possible. My motivation isn't just so I can live however I want and dominate others. So that makes me a lightworker, correct?

I thought I wasn't a lightworker because of my desire to dominate my reality and because giving in terms of babysitting my sisters kids, for example, does not sit well with me. But living my life in a way so that I can be an example of what is possible is something I'm very much aligned with.

[billionairekid]

Or is it possible that I'm already a highly advanced darkworker since both paths lead to the same place inevitably. I love competition and I want to win a gold medal boxing in the Olympics. Now, this isn't really the path of love as I plan on having to knock out many different people inside of the ring. But when combined with my other achievements, this will stand as a challenge for people to raise their consciousness.

GOSHHHHHHHH! Choosing a polarity the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my entire life. I have so many questions...............

And I really appreciate guidance
