@Fireguy: You seem to be confusing the concept of polarity (fear and love energies) with the decision to polarize (intentionally choosing to channel one energy more than the other). Anyone can channel either polarity whenever they want, and most people have leanings to one side or the other, but only darkworkers and lightworkers commit themselves to mastering a single polarity, the reason being that you can channel more energy when you avoid mixing them. This doesn't mean they're perfectly pure; it just means they're committed to one side or the other but not both. |

If something does not affect me with a suitably broad understanding of my full values and interest, then what business do I have wasting precious time on it? If I have chosen my values well and with full heart and mind then my only business is that which furthers my values. Anything other than this is lack of commitment and focus. I think about the disasters in the world to the extent that I think about changes in technology and people that could lessen or eliminate them and advocate and work toward those in those aspects that are in or synergistic with my personal goal set. That is not facilely "light" or "dark" but is rational and caring. I do not think we do ourselves or the world any good by using simplistic terms like "darkworker" vs "lightworker". | |

I ask because I know that if this question were to be asked about a DW it would be easy to answer Yes! Ask yourself this question and a lot of clarity will sink in. My answer, "yes". If he is a true LW, on a degree of say 7+ he wouldnt flinch. So, are true DWs necessarily still evil all the time? (I assume, Evil = anti-human, to some worrysome degree). At the same time, I think a LW or a DW both have the capacity to kill people and definitely animals. It depends on whether they have had exposure to such line of thought as vegetarianism. (I cannot say for sure whether Mother Teresa, MLK, Abe, etc were vegetarians. I know Mahatama Gandhi was cuz he had the exposure to Jainism where being a staunch vegetarian is default) I'd like to believe that the Term DarkWorker could very well be replaced. We could call them Self-Light Workers or something. I have read Mr. Pavlina's blog sincerely. I have gained. He is a man with focus. I have read words carefully. He did assert that DW and LW are the sides of the same coin. I agree. Lord Mahavira attained Nirvan by meditation. His focus was not community service. He did not even give too many lectures. His focus was conquering thy self and become the greatest (Maha) warrior(Vir). Last edited by AnakinSkywalker; 05-13-2008 at 04:38 AM. | |

I agree here too. Killing other people only really exposes him as a menace and, LW, DW or NPC... nobody wants a menace. (Mr. Pavlina quite rightly said that due to such brainless and DW-syndromic acts lots of NPCs are converting) In Star Wars, where the Emperor declares war against the Jedis seemed out of place (running out of celluloid I guess). The main characters in the movie had access to all the kinds of energies they wanted. They must be even living forever (Yoda for example), then why not just wait for a better oppurtunity to get more power than declaring a war and running the risk of total annihlation. Come to think of it The Emperor might've tripped over a rock called Darkworker Syndrome. Last edited by AnakinSkywalker; 05-13-2008 at 04:42 AM. | |

- I die and 1 million random people are saved in that same instant. or - I live and 1 million random people die in that same instant (me excluded naturally). I'd pick the second one in a heartbeat. Simply reasoning for me, if I die and my 'special' perspective dies with me, why should I ever want to sacrifice myself? Me is gone at that point, or survival of 'me' is most certainly uncertain (now thats a tongue killer). I'd say a highly conscious lightworker would definitley pick option 1. Does this say anything about me? Dunno, maybe it does. I do know that I'm not a committed darkworker or lightworker (not yet and I'm ok with that). Not to say that this particular discussion leads anywhere. Its a funky scenario though. Quote:
