Default Polarity shouldn't matter in a subjective reality,right?

If this universe is just a dream,then the notion that you can't be as powerful without choosing a side is false. Your inflow and outflow of energy shouldn't matter... Thoughts?

I'd also be interested to know what Steve thinks about it now after diving into the rabbit hole.

For me, I think it would be the same as in a lucid dream. Even if you are lucid, you still can't control your dream without some work, right? Maybe not even at all if you haven't practiced. So perhaps it's no different in the waking dream.

Seems like this brings us back to the topic of beliefs. If you think you need a polarity, then you do?

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I've been thinking about it and it doesn't really make sense. I remembered the 1 million dollar experiment that Steve did, and I was like, isn't that darkworker stuff? So anyways, I've settled to believe that in this dream world, polarity only matters if you believe in it. I personally don't, it seems very limiting in my opinion!

I think I agree with you, JeffistheAnswer. The idea of polarization never really resonated with me either. It's one perspective but apparently, not the one for us.

That makes at least three of us where did not find that perspective useful.

Make that four. Energy is simply energy our consciousness is no fulcrum or static point to define it.

I was thinking this very thing earlier.

I think you can work with your unconscious limited beliefs and towards your dreams without having to take a particular side or compromising personal power at all. Polarizing seems an unnecessary thing to do to me...maybe to some they need to feel like it gives them an identity or something?

I've achieved a lot of what I set out to achieve without consciously deciding to be a dark/light worker...I just am me and do what comes naturally for me. People are egomaniacs and heroes at various times...and that's everyone. You don't need to label yourself something that basically means you are caring or selfish...there are already words for those things...caring and selfish(;

I can be selfish when I need to be and take in energy from the universe to use, and I can be helpful, inspired to teach from the teacher role that we all have in us, so, to me...I am a bit of both at different times and the only thing that compromises my personal power is when I start backing down from taking full responsability for my reality.
