Default Blogs of darkworkers / lightworkers

I am interested in blogs of everyone who tried to turn into a darkworker or a lightworker and journaled about the transformation and results. And I am interested in any other websites about being a darkworker/lightworker.
So can you help me with this?

For now I am aware just of these:
Dark Workers - Home
Welcome to the Lightworker Online Community Of Light | Lightworkers.org

Hi Jiri,

I have never heard of anyone wanting to (or consciously) becoming a darkworker. Maybe ask George W.? tehe. May haps I just don't understand the term

I assume that you read Steve's blog?
Good-luck with your quest.

There are some of us who consciously polarize towards the dark.

I am one of them. I don't have a blog but a few of the above-mentioned (especially Asmoday's) are good.

There are some of us who consider polarizing towards either the 'dark', or the 'light', to be dualistic and unbalanced. What proceeds both light and dark? ... it has no name.

Ah yes, some find it easier to extinguish the spark within themselves,
than to face the darkness which surrounds them.

There was a blog carnival exclusively for "lightworkers", but I do not know whether it is still regularly published.

Default This may sound wierd but......then again...

This may sound wierd but I truly believe my husband is a darkworker and I might be a light worker. I'm new to all this and I might be wholly wrong and don't know what I'm talking about but I have come to the epithany that when my mind is clear every cell in me feels as those they're sacifical. I would put anothers' happiness before mine no matter the cost. It has been this way all my life. Every fiber of my being tells me so. I try to show others try to have others see and act kindly, justly just be loving. Now my husband is what I see or term as a taker. I've told him this. He's a loving person and he cares but if it was you or him, its him and I asked him why and he said why should he be sacifical? He'll take care of himself first than others. He would do something that he knows would hurt me emotionally, and still do it and yet I would continally let him. Or another person for that fact. I told him I strive for continallity and he told me he strives for chaos. And just another clue is we work - are our beings are on total different ends of the specturm. He feels this from me and I feel it from him. And yet as much as we fight and argue because of this; we can't breath without the other. I had an "episode" and past my light into his choas; I was lost in his chaos and he found me to bring me back to my light. And yet I told him I wasn't ready to leave this lifetime with him. I was so afraid to go back to his side because I thought that meant I would die. He says he knows other people like him and I do know one of whom he's talking about, but since I'm by myself - i haven't come to recognize those like me. Does this make any sense let me know. By the way... we've both been diagnosed with bipolar so Like I said I could just be wrong on all this...

Sounds like likeworker syndrome there, definitely not a healthy thing.

Edit: By healthy, I meant not in a physical sense of your body, but in the sense of making your life work the most for yourself and for others around you.

Default Lightworker is just giving a name

Lightworker is just giving a name toward how I feel, I would still feel this way had I not found this site. It is how I am, I realize the downfalls and no matter how I try to hold back I can't - which proable explains my lifetime of depression.

My understanding is that it is possible to be a lightworker, that is totally devoted to giving to others, without suffering lightworker syndrone. However, I'm not polorized, so I'm just refering to what I've read that Steve wrote.

Hi, interesting discussion..,

I think certain people could be Darkworkers for example, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Donald Trump.

They're both very focused and driven to succeed and their motivation seems to be for personal gain of power, status, ego-satisfaction etc.

That isn't to say that they're 'bad' people or that they haven't enriched the lives of lots of others - they clearly have. Trump's built some beautiful buildings, provided employment for thousands of people and is an example of potential in the field of Capitalism and financial abundence.

Arnie has boosted the health industry (arguably), made some entertaining films and is now involved in politics.

Whether one likes them or not, it's clear that their 'darkworker' focus has made an impact.

Good examples of Lightworkers are probably Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Delai Lama, Tom Hanks (joking!)..

I think the thing is they're not (very) conflicted.. they know what they're committed to: SELF or OTHERS.

eg. Two car salesmen.. the Darkworker works for the profit, but he knows he can't sell a heap of junk..cos the customer will come back to him and it would cause him grief. So he's motivated to make profit and avoid trouble for himself.

The Lightworker works to give value and wants the customer to have a safe, enjoyable car.

They both sell the same car, in the same good condition..but different motivation.

(Obviously the Darkworker could let his greed overcome his good sense, or the Lightworker could allow himself to be ripped off by his customers.)

Anyway, that's my thoughts.

Sorry - forgot to address your actual question.

What I was trying to say was that certain celebrities are probably/ possibly Darkworkers or Lightworkers and, of course, many of them have written autobiographies (Trump and Arnold included).

Although not specifically about polorizing per se.

I've read both of their autobiographies/biographies, and while Trump definetely is a darkworker, I'm not so sure about Arnold, at least in his later years.

If he meant Arnold Schwarzenegger, that man is the blueprint for a darkworker. Just go check some of his quotations and you will know what I mean.

I've read his biography. I don't deny he was a darkworker at first, I'm just suggesting perhaps in the last 5-10 years he's become more of a lightworker. He's become more focused on giving. Thus perhaps he's moved more toward lightworker. Not sure, but just throwing the suggestion out there.

Quotes from more then 5-10 years ago are not relevant to my suggestion.

Just wanted to say thanks for the links above. I didn't really know those two Paths were out there.

It kind of seems to me that too much emphasis is being placed on
light/darkworkers as a [i]physical[i] thing. Personally, as a lightworker,
I am just trying to hold and emanate these energies so that others may
benefit.
What I don't understand is this:
Creator (GOD, the I AM..., etc..) is light, light is knowledge and (physically)
that stuff from the sun which makes all life possible.
The opposite of this is dark, indicating ignorance, death, ego etc.
Why would one consciously polarize toward ignorance and death,
(yes, I know they are necessary) and away from Creator?

Because the Dark path DOESN'T lead away from the creator;

It's just a different way of getting there.

Remember, if there were no need for the Dark Path, there wouldn't BE a Dark Path.

Lightworkers and Darkworkers are two sides of the same coin. When you realize this, you realize that both of these paths lead to the same place. As far as blogs or journals that detail light or darkworkers I'm not too sure. I would consider myself a lightworker, you can check out my blog below, although I don't specifically focus on that topic.

Default Zoroaster is alive and well!

Sounds like a continuation of the old, judgemental, all-to-human, trait of "us good guys against them bad guys" ! Keep dividing the unity, and avoiding true love!

Never seek advice, nor offer it...that is my advice!

Lol, sounds like you read a lot of kabbalah. "dark" in "darkworker" is not used in the same manor that you define "dark."

i am a darkworker. I firmly believe in self-empowerment. This is how messiahs are created. For once the power within is realized, it shines forth and radiates all.

here is my blog JoeGoldfarb.com. with this site i try to be as clear as possible on how i improve myself.

here is my old blog which is real bloggy and unfocused [ d a r k _ f l a v o r ]
