Default Please no more dark/light worker posts

That's all you've been posting for almost the last 4 weeks. Many of us come here to read your posts on productivity, marketing, business, and other general personal development topics and aren't interested in the extremely spiritual stuff. One or two posts are okay, but you shouldn't go on about a topic for ages like this.

Quit your jibber jabber, there are also a lot of people interested in light/darkworker articles.

Your time will probably come back some time. In the meantime you can reread the old productivity articles. Or even better, get off your ass and implement the old methods and some something done.

For all I know you just want more productivity articles to read so you get an excuse for procrastinating.

I find the light/dark worker posts too binary and a bit simplistic. What of people who simply choose their own values and work as effectively as possible for them without believing it is their business or competence to worry about the well-being of others per se except to recognize that everyone else has full rights to do the same and that none of us is served by abrogating the rights of one another to our own live and choices? This position does not molest others, enslave others, seek to defraud or use others against their interests. We combine efforts with those of others and trade with them value for value in voluntary exchanges. Where does that fit on this "light" vs. "dark" scale? I don't believe it does. Therefore I find this bifurcation not very useful.

Hey guys, don't jump on the OP. I'm sure Steve appreciates input, but really, there is advice on business, productivity, etc. everywhere, on the internet and in bookstores, and you can get all the stuff you're looking for for free or a small fee (a book).

Information on polarity is much rarer and less discussed, and that's what he's delving into now, for anyone who wants to read it. Did you apply the stuff on productivity already posted on his website?

Polarity is not "extremely spiritual". It can be used completely without the spirituality factor. Actually, that's what i do. Another thing, there are many other forums here, and you can also read the older posts by searching the forums a bit.


Well i had to take all that "subjective reality" thing for months... it's good that te subject has changed, at least for me, since i love the polarity subject.

Steve has a right to write any topic he chooses - it is his blog! You can probably look up the hundreds of articles he has already written on personal effectiveness. Spirituality is an essential ingredient of Personal Development, and many of us love to read such articles. And I am sure Steve is going to keep writing for many more years to come, so please bear with these weeks of Spirituality even if they may not interest you much. Who knows, a time may come when you will greatly benefit from these articles too.

Agree 100%

Darkworker/Lightworker stuff should belong in a religion blog, not a personal development one.

Not that I'm some evil bastard who dislikes morality, but real-world morality doesn't work in dichotomies. Conscious intelligent people can find middle grounds to deal with moral dilemmas. We don't need childish either/or moral teachings.

Spirituality also has nothing to do with personal development because it deals with the unknown in a rather childish way. Instead of consciously solving problems, we slap the spirituality tag on what we don't know as an excuse to not study it and figure it out ourselves.

Game theory in biology and philosophy answers a lot of the questions ancient philosophers, mystics, gurus, and spiritualists asked in the past. It's time to shed our childish superstitions and embrace the light of reason.

Jshine, your right. But your getting confused between Religion and Spirituality. And Dark/Lightworking isn't spiritual, not unless you want to read it like that.

So your way off haha.

The idea isn't childish its ridiculously complex and MATURE. Its a powerful affirmation to yourself of what you are. You might hing thats just pop-psychology, but hey you strike me as the sort of person that just doesn't want to get higher in consciousness because your afraid you might become and new-agey weirdo like the rest of us haha.
