Look at your entire post. Notice how it's all fear-based? There's a reason it's fear-based. Look at why you're afraid of choosing the wrong side. Why are you? Why do those things bother you? Why are you here on this forum at all? Why did you post? Why do you feel you need our validation? Why do you think polarizing should be done at all? Why believe us, and not yourself? Ask yourself a million questions, introspect, work out the root causes for all your motivations. Dig deep, and you'll find out the answers.

Why not just focus on raising your level of consciousness and take the path of love regardless whether it's what Steve would call "Lightworker" or "Darkworker". As long as you are making progress to raise your level of consciousness/awareness, maybe polarization is not needed for you.

For example, I feel like I've been making amazing progress raising my levels of awareness/consciousness over the last 10 years with even faster progress in the last 3 years and REALLY fast progress in the last 9 months, however I haven't had to polarize as Steve defines it.

It'd be different if I felt "stuck", but I'm growing at such a fast pace I can barely keep up and I'm doing it without having to polarize, so I know if I can do it so can others.

My simple formula explained using the Hawkin's consciousness scale is very simple. Step 1 is to identify your current level as honestly as you can. Step 2 is to look at levels of consciousness above your level and try to live like that as much as you can. Simple.

Using this formula I've been able to be "in the flow" for a long time.

I am focusing on raising my level of consciousness 100% there is no doubt there. From my understanding the path of love is considered to fall under the lightwalker path where as lust would be the alternative on the darkworker's path. I am 100% making progress on my consciousness. Just last week and eve during this week I believed to have had one extreme moment of the level of unconditional love and little spurts of it throughout this week. But also from my understanding picking lightworker or darkworker ASAP will even further along my process much faster and it definitely doesnt hurt to start ASAP. I am not afraid to pick a side. I know that I have to master one side so I'm starting now. And I do not feel stuck I feel perfect ease but I just learned about polarization so the question remains why NOT? Ive been aware of LoA for a bit now and now I know about polarization and darkworkers/lightworkers so I want to apply this new knowledge as fast as I can as soon as possible I have huge "bursts" of intuition and things like that to get me going in this path of the darkworker I just do not know if theres anything wrong with it. Maybe I do feel stuck. I have no idea. I just want to get started down one of these paths. I am very appreciative of steve this is the best website in the world! haha. I was really set back by the darkworker lightworker article though. I was reading it on my couch on my laptop and the darkworker path stuck out to me so much and it seemed like the Universe was telling me "this is it Eric!" and the more I thought about it the more obvious it seemed. The way Steve is writing it seems to me that either lightworker or darkworker is perfectly acceptable and perfectly equal. If that is inaccurate in anyway please correct me. With the knowledge of each path being both equal and acceptable in the sense that they both are for the greater good I felt as if picking the path that seemed the most practical and natural for me would be best. So I started thinking of my past and I could not resist I was always working for myself rather than someone else. I clearly portrayed a darkworker mentality my whole entire life. Now I understand the value of polarizing. I can either stay in this (inflow)-3 +3(outflow) my entire life and get mediocre results. Or I can tap into my real power passion motivation etc. by choosing either darkworker max -10inflow, or I can go with the lightworker working with up to +10 energy. And I feel as if I have a conscious choice to make this decision which I have made perfectly clear to me. I know I am making this choice consciously. The words Fear and Love sort of through me off when reading the article simply because the word "Fear" has such a negative conontation, but the way I understand this polarization and darkworker article Fear has nothing to do with it. It's simplyly a way of life. You either choose light or dark, in or out, love or fear. The word fear doesnt resonate well in my heart, but the idea of living the path as a darkworker and mastering inflow seems the most practical for me and again to my knowledge the way steve writes it, it seems that theres nothing wrong with choosing that path. Am I wrong? I feel iffy about it the more I talk about it. Maybe I'll always feel this way? Is this some sort of trick! haha so you can get some people to choose the "wrong" path of darkworker and mastering of inflow?!?! I'm just kidding. But seriously...Is there anything WRONG with choosing the path of darkworker and mastering inflow? The reason I'm asking is because I do not know. The reason I do not know is because I am a newbie. The reason I am a newbie is because I'm new to the scene. The reason I'm new to the scene is because I just got into this cool metaphysics LoA stuff thanks to my mom. I feel and think that I have a pretty good understanding and grasp on as much as I have learned so far. So the only reason I am asking these questions is to further strengthen the caliber of my knowledge so I can further either help MYSELF which in turns helps the whole, OR so I can turn around and help other people which in turns helps ME which is basically the same thing. I am totally on terms with that I udnerstand it, I see it, I feel it. I KNOW We are all connected. We're all the same thing even. We're all energy. I just wrote a paper on this stuff for college so I'm just going to stop there ! haha!!

How about following this suggestion. Forget about thinking that INFLOW means Darkworker/Fear. Instead if you want to experience INFLOW, do it with LOVE instead of Fear. If you want to experience OUTFLOW, do it with LOVE instead of Fear.

That's what I've been doing and it works for me. I really have no idea what that makes me under Steve's definitions; a lightworker, a darkworker, a mixworker, or whatever, but it totally works and I feel I'm moving up the consciousness ladder every day.
