Does It Really Matter Which Way You Polarize?

[Dive Bomb]

I believe that being a lightworker and being a darkworker aren't very different at all, it's all how you spin it to your point of view.

Giving is also recieving and vice versa. If I give somene a gift, I am recieving joy or a sense of accomplishment for the most part. If someone gives me something, I am recieving the item and I'm giving them back a reaction.

Reading Steve's blog post about using "fear" energy for that problem he had, he could've did the same thing using "love energy" just by saying that he is providing value to all consumers who felt ripped off by the refund. With his one action, it may have made the company rethink its policies.

Anyway, this is just something I was thinking about. I believe that most of it is subjective, that if you polarize with your viewpoint you can control the energy better and be motivated to do what you need to do.

[impaul99]

Yeah, I pretty much agree as well. I think giving/receiving are both things we should pursue and it is only natural to do so. I really see no point or benefit to try to only head in one direction, nor do I see that one direction is "better" than the other.

I just try to aling all my intentions with positive love energy, regardless if I'm receiving or giving. Ie, if the universe gives to me, like last night I "received" my next grading in my martial arts training unexpectedly from my Sensei, I just receive that gift from the universe with positive love. Today, I'm on these forums and I've responded to a few posts "GIVING" people advice from my own life experiences. In that case I try to GIVE with positive love energy.

So, my way of polarizing is to do everything with positive love energy, regardless whether I'm receiving or giving.

When you do something, which lead to one goal, the same action could influence your path to another goal. So if you are hold different intentions it is better to fill all of them with one polarity in order to achieve synergy. And that is why it is the best choice to become 'polarized' person - to stick to fear or love in everything what you do. And this is exactly what Steve tries to explain us.

I guess I am a lightworker but with fear. I want to give and give but I don't trust those that give to me. You can say that I have to polarize, but why? Why can't fear exist within love, they are opposites sides of a coin. I can't pursue love for what I do and and pursue enough money for a lifestyle. Why? Where does the destinction lay?

I do not pursue money or power, but rather social interaction. Love and connection with others. Yet I have wants, like for example, an LCD TV. Is this instance seperate from what polarizing is? I believe the answer is yes, but I wanted to ask. We all have wants and needs, but what you are talking about is almost principles of magnetism. What side are we drawn to, positive or negative. But then if this were true, people of similar "polarity" would never be connected to one another. It would be the law of magnetism and those that love and give could only be with those that took.

How can people be happy only giving themselves to light or dark status? It seems so unnecessary. Like one side can only eat pizza all the time and the other can only eat burritos all the time.

I don't understand why we should only be one sided? Or is that we are meant to be one sided and the choice has already be laid in us from birth, all we must do is figure it out and pursue our destiny?

If you have to GUESS that you're a lightworker, you are probably not polarized at all.

Wow, great feedback. Thanks for answering nothing.

So you're a lightworker you say?

[bob5483]

Plato:
I think so...

I mean the only thing I know is that I do not pursue money, power, etc. I want to help people. But at the same time I worry about making enough money to support a family without having my wife work. Maybe that is just pressure from society.

I read through Steve's blog on this and I really struggled to find understanding. I don't know why it was so difficult, it just wouldn't resinate in my brain. What did you take from this reading? What understanding came from this, for you?

[straysweeper]

I always thought I'd be a stronger darkworker than a lightworker. Go fig.

[Brutha]

Cran is right, you are probably not polarized and therefore no lightworker in Steves model.
Being able to actually see the difference is difficult.
Take impaul99 for example. He took a while to understand the idea.

At the moment you say that you are maybe driven by pressure from society.
The decision to polarize is about dropping those outer influences and consciously live your own life.

looking at his blog you can tell which path he chose, despite what he might say

Actually you can't tell which path I chose by looking at my Blog. If you read all of my posts, you might be able to guess at the intention behind them, but even then it's still a guess.

When you're able to see beyond your thoughts and your actions to the intention behind them, then you will know which polarity you're expressing. It took me a while to understand that, but it was a journey worth taking.

Best of luck.

Being a lightworker means identifying with the whole and not solely with your little character, though identifying with the whole means also taking care of the little character, otherwise the whole suffers, that's why you still want to pay your bills being a lightworker.

Absolutely. I would actually also say that you not only want to "pay your bills" which kind of implies you live just above the poverty line and with the fear that you only want to take your "fair share", but rather that each character should strive to THRIVE in his environment, knowing full well that we do not live in a "zero sum" world and abundance is available for every "cell in the body" of humanity.

Polarity is all in the initial intention. Lightworkers choose abundance because they know how much value they can provide the rest of humanity by fulfilling their true purpose. Darkworkers choose abundance because they want to have the most power and control over everyone else.

Both can choose abundance, but it is their intention that separates them.

Ditto, sort of like an Angel/Angelus situation for those who've watched the show. I have considered darkworking so long as I meet my needs to where I'm self reliant vs a leech.

one question thats bugging me is

DOES POLARITY APPLY TO LIFE PURPOSE??

so could a darkworker do steves life purpose exercise and get a purpose??

It depends how you define "Purpose" or what your understand of it is.

If you believe that your "Purpose" comes from God, or from Light, then if you're aligned with "Dark" and not "Light" then the purpose you'll get will probably be Lightworker oriented and it won't make much sense to you.

For example, maybe your "True Self" will be telling you that you should do A but your Ego will want you to do B because B makes more money and gives you more power right now, however A is more aligned with your spiritual evolution.

I've started to really look at purpose from a totally different light nowadays. Meaning, I don't really see purpose so much as a list of THINGS that I'm SUPPOSED to DO in order to fulfill some kind of MASTER PLAN, but rather a way of BEING while I do whatever.

I guess one metaphorical view of what I'm talking about would be to think of it not like a well thought out SWAT team strategy where you are person C of the A,B,C,D,E,F team and your specific job as C is to go in at 12:37am, run up to the front door, ram the door open, then take cover on the North wall for 37 seconds while members A,B,D,E run inside and F smashes through the back door, and then you run in and clear rooms 1 and 4 making sure that the mission gets executed in less than 98 seconds to ensure it's a success.

That would be a "Purpose" where everything spelled out...every little detail of everything you do.... ie. Am I supposed to be here at this time? Was I supposed to talk to that person? Am I supposed to help this lady? etc.

Instead, what if you thought of your Purpose on the SWAT team as more like "BE CONFIDENT" and "BE DECISIVE" and "BE SAFE" and "ADAPT AND IMPROVISE". Follow whatever plans are set out, but instead of thinking of your purpose as a set of instructions, think of it more like a way of BEING while carrying out your actions.

In that way, perhaps a lightworker might have a purpose along the lines of "BE LOVING", "BE INSPIRING", "BE COMPASSIONATE" while a darkworker might have a purpose like "BE COURAGEOUS" and "BE DISCIPLINED" and "NEVER GIVE UP"...

I think you'll get your answer by first deciding what exactly do you think Purpose means anyways...is it a set of instructions of what you're supposed to do, is it what you're supposed to be etc.

Hope that helps.

Cran's feedback totally makes sense and is spot-on. Being a lightworker is not a fact that you can observe, it's a choice. When you consciously choose to be a lightworker, you know you are and don't need to guess. If you're not sure what you are, you aren't polarized.

If you want to be a lightworker, you'll need to face and transcend those fears that you have. Polarizing as a lightworker includes consciously choosing not to give in to fear, no matter how strong the fear might get.

[Andrew Brunelle]

Utlimately, I don't feel that it matters because in the end, they're really both sides of the same coin. But so few people polarize and so few people follow it all the way to the end, so in the short run, it is probably better to be a lightworker because you'll help more people initially than you would being a darkworker. But if you polarize all the way to the end of your life, it probably won't matter either way because you'll have done similar work and created similar value for the world, albeit with different intents.
