 |  Moral framework of a darkworker
Lightworking has a clear moral framework that is implied by service to others. However, what does a darkworker live by? Is a darkworker nothing but an emotivist, seeking only to please his whims, with no objective basis for anything? If the darkworker does have objective morals, what could they be based upon? Nietzsche would suggest the will to power of a darkworker leads to a way of being similar to the Homeric Greeks (heroic society who value strength, beauty, courage, action, power). Is this the only alternative to emotivism? |

Working for yourself and working for others is exactly the same thing - - If you have a subjective belief system. If you don't then it doesn't make much sense. So the moral framework of a Darkworker, in my opinion would be one of improving oneself, of the "part", so that one can raise the standard of the "whole". |

I like this approach but the question of what is "good" still remains. What are the values of a darkworker? What would constitute improvement to a darkworker? For a lightworker, other peoples' happiness is an end in itself, but not so for a darkworker because by definition he is serving himself. Other peoples' happiness is a means to an end for a darkworker... at least that's the distinction I see. So what is the "end" that a darkworker strives for?

Well I daresay different Darkworkers have different goals. For me its all about advanced learning and physical prowess. For some it might be about business enhancement, or personal appearence Its all relative to the age and maturity and mindset of the person. |
