It is obvious polarity is Steve's new baby. Where do you stand?

Didn't Steve say that only 1% of the people out there are polarized enough to be either one or the other? I guess it depends on what percentage of forum readers fall within that 1%...

It's not really a question of what you are, as I find labels to be very limiting. And I am not living in a galaxy far, far away, so even though I have not yet chosen to polarize to either side, I know that there is a way to serve yourself and serve others at the same time, so why not pursue a road like that? If anything is possible, why not that?

I consider myself a "darkworker" and I can tell you that much of the time I am serving others but always in the interest of myself. I love and help others because it causes them to love and help me. If you are a darkworker who never helps others, you will fall victim to Steve's "darkworker syndrome" in which self-interest causes you to implode.

Its all based on your focus. Now lets explore this example:

A good Samaritan walks down a desolate road and sees a man lying in the dirt, his leg broken, unable to walk.

-The lightworker good samaritan hoists the man onto his back and carries him all the way to town. He does this with selfless love. He is helping for the sake of the wounded man and for the sake of creating love in the universe.

-The darkworker good Samaritan hoists the man onto his back and carries him all the way to town. He does this with selfish love. He is helping because he receives love (in the form of gratitude) from the wounded man. Also, once in town, the grateful man will probably spread word of the good Samaritan's deed. Thus, the good Samaritan's turnout is great: he has achieved love and status, maybe more.

In either situation the Samaritan is nonetheless good because his deed is in fact positive for both himself and the wounded man (and consequently the entire universe). The only difference is where his focus lies.

Technically speaking, Mother Teresa may have been a darkworker if here focus was on receiving love from all the people she helped. It doesn't really matter, though; either way she was a Saint. I'm curious whether Steve would back me up on this one

I really hope this clears up some misunderstanding.

a fully polarized darkworker, I strongly believe, would want fear from people, not love. Or, "let them love/adore as long as they fear". For a fear-polarized person fear would be the primary means of control. They get people to do things for them out of fear and force, not gratitude and love. A fear-entity doesn't believe in love, it's 'sappy and weak'. It only wants Power Over, and to keep this through love would restrict egoistical actions mightily.
If a person that who mostly fear (egoistical) seek to project a front of doing good for the world, they always fail(sooner or later, when they reach a certain level of momentum/impact), because that is mixing energies. Just observe cases of companies that have gone down because they tried to put a love-polarized facade on fear. People buy because they think it is good, but ultimately the evil behind gets exposed because that is the true intention behind all actions, and people stop buying it.
Fear seeks to take from others as sucking energy and resources out of them - love and gratitude are good nice feelings. Fear is not about exchange, it always wants to get more than it gives, ideally taking 99-100% of what a person has. Fear likes to torture. Fear seeks to keep people below itself - love uplifts. A fully polarized fear-person uses ONLY fear. If they haven't built up enough force yet to just take/steal, they play on a person's greed(also a fear aspect).
From fear's viewpoint, all Mother Teresa got was some approval and made things better for others - she got very little power to get things for her ego.
The polarized darkworker would help a man with broken legs if the man would give money or other forms of power in exchange. If the *worker was seeking love in exchange, he or she wasn't fully polarized. Darkers only seek to increase fear, because that is their power. Love in anti to them, if noone is afraid of them or greedy for things they have, they have no fear-power. A darkworker would be able to do nothing with a group of enlightened ones, fully polarized with love, literally fearless.
