Default Polarity

I believe that I am fundamentally safe here and forever. The evidence in my life doesn't show that now, but that is where I am headed.

My problem is with the 'service' aspect of the Love-based Polarization that Steve describes. Can one not be on the light-side and still be tending to my own needs without caring about the world?

I realize even now that there is abundance, and that I am eternally safe and so is everyone else despite the choices they make now. But I want to tend to my own life and be happy. Because isn't the Lightworker also looking to be happy by serving others?

I can make some choices that are selfish, but I am not denying others their joy. I am not caring about them either, because I know I get what I want and theres more for everybody.

I am under the impression that to truly polarize and become a full "lightworker," one must give up all self-serving desires. Personal needs are occasionally foregone as well if my perception is correct.

As a darkworker, though, I hesitate to offer my comments about lightworking.

Then why subscribe to the polarity theme? You don't need it to feel good about yourself and/or understand why you create. It's as unecessary as LoA and IM.

Mind you, I subscribe to SR, so welcome to the nuthouse

Thanks! I just read and heard all about SR.

I think my consciousness just shifted a bit. I've been sending out intentions to be a powerful creator since a few weeks. And this, SR resonates with me... so this must be a step in that direction. Its also answered so many questions of mine.

Today feels like how it felt when I first saw the Secret last year. This makes a lot of sense I tell you. I need to let this sink in.

SR is very empowering if you can grasp it, the trick is to look at the world through the eyes of consciousness
