Default Polarization: How long until you see results?

For those of you who are doing trials as lightworkers/darkworkers, I'm curious to hear how long it takes to get results once you polarize.

Like, it would be cool to hear what your goals are and how much progress you've made towards attracting them and then some form of quantifiable evidence that there was a major boost once you polarized.

I'm curious to hear if Steve thinks that a 30-day trial of either side is sufficient to see results, or if it's a path you have to devote years and years to before you see results.

I haven't officially started mine, but I've noticed a boost in energy. I think its related to eliminating inner conflict to a degree.

i am still brainstorming on how to turn this into a measurable goal. I am going to read over Some More of Syeve's articles on the 30 trial concept and see how I can relate it to the polarization articles.

I'd be curious to hear anyones ideas as well.

I found the results were immediate. Literally, a few minutes after making a solid conscious decision to polarize.

Some symptoms of switching to the dark side...
Massive drop in social anxiety. I used to stutter and slur my words, no more!
More energy, increase in force of desire/focus.
Heightened sense of awareness/clarity/consciousness.
Greater focus in the classroom, as well as faster ability to learn new info.
Music sounded more enthralling, almost euphoric sometimes.
Then I crashed due to darkworker syndrome. But I'm back on the path after resolving my issues with darkworking and good and evil and spirituality. I'm experiencing all of the same symptoms again.


@Theo77
you don't really need to measure your goal here. Just dive in, get your hands dirty, and see what all the fuss is about. I started as a 30 day trial, then I realized I was already heavily inclined to take the inflow polarization.

I'm sure the results of switching into darkworker mode are immediate but how does one switch into darkworker mode. What are you supposed to do differently? I am trying to do this 30 day trial thing but I don’t know where to start.

Go right back to the first few blogs on polarization, and apply the concept to the law of attraction. INFLOW. Embrace your ego, understand it has needs and desires that need to be acted on. Embrace your desire for power and strength and self worth. Understand that your needs come first. etc etc. I thought it was pretty straightforward.

Yup, I feel the same way. I've been trying to wrap my head around Steve's polarization concepts for weeks now and in the background working on my own Model that makes sense to me. Finally this week I finished my model and posted it on my blog with pictures and detailed descriptions of how it works. THAT Model I can easily implement practically and teach to anyone, BUT having completed my model I wanted to come back here to see if I could still grasp Steve's model.

However, just like you I'm totally confused as to what it even means to "polarize darkworker". I mean it's one thing to say "Yup, I've polarized", but it's another thing to actually understand the implications of that decision across your whole life. I think it's a major decision, so I kind of find it curious how some people are able to do it so quickly.

The other thing that's kind of worrying me about this is that Steve's completely dropped the subject. I haven't seen a single post from him on any of this for a long time. It seems like he's given up on it or something. Maybe he understands it for himself and his life, but thinks we won't get it so he's not bothering with any more explanations. If that's the case, I think I'm gonna just drop this and stick to my model that's been working for me in life.

*shrug* I would like to give Steve's model a chance, but I just don't get how.

I like to think of polarization as a tool. If I want to develop a strong desire for a goal, I visualize taking something, making it mine, expanding my influence. For me this is far more motivating than thinking about what I could give.

For example in a social situation:
I try making ME feel good, as opposed to making others feel good. It just so happens that it makes ME feel BEST when I feel good, making others feel good, which makes me feel good in a continuous loop, thereby providing me with more lasting happiness. The result is the same, the flow of energy is different.

I'm on this forum not to help you guys figure this out, I'm trying to learn how to better express myself and my ideas in a safe environment. I'm trying to improve my communication skills. I'm trying to build a good reputation as a respectable member of this board. Its all ME. I work for ME.

I try not to needlessly complicate this intellectually, as I got caught up in meaningless definitions last time and found ways to validate narcissistic behaviours, which led to darkworker syndrome and the inevitable crash.

Every few days or so, someone PM's me on this forum and asks me a question for advice. As a darkworker then, assuming I get nothing out of answering their questions, would I just tell them to bugger off?

Because right now, when that happens I get the energy of a lightworker flowing through me and I want to help people, so I do. But then afterwords I might go back to my darkworker energy and go work on improving my blog or something. What you're saying is if I stifle my lightworker energy and just always focus on darkworker, I will gain more power and momentum?

Depends on what you're getting out of answering the pm. Don't stifle anything, that only seems to aggravate things. I think thats why I experienced a lot of positive symptoms. I was trying to stifle my selfish desires and egoistic self, thereby making it stronger and working against me. When I embraced my darker desires it was as if I got closer to myself and could act more freely in the world.

I think practice comes into play here. Practice acting on your personal needs, let your lightside sort of atrophy or meld to you darkside. Its all the same thing in the end. The duality that polarization brings is just seems to amplify my desire and focus.

In reality its all for junk, at the end you realize there really is no difference. no difference between you and me, self and other, its all transcendent subjective reality. Recently, via ghenpo roshi's big mind technique(theres a thread in the spirituality board), I was able to glimpse what real subjective reality is, and its all the same damn thing, and different, non-dualistic and dualistic, light and dark. But that doesn't help me achieve anything. At the moment it just feels really cool, and only exists in meditation once in a while.

I'm trying polarization because it works, until I reach a steady level of consciousness where I don't need to make the distinction of dark to achieve that level of desire that polarization brings. Now I'm just rambling because its late and I'm tired...might have gotten off track.

I went away. I sat. I wrote in my journal. The answers came. I now know how to polarize to the dark side.

For $10 I'll teach anyone else as well. Just kiddin. I think I finally got it all of a sudden.

As Truefire, mentioned, it seemed fairly obvious to me too what the darkside is and what Steve was talking about. Maybe its harder to grasp for people that are more analytical. Because Its about energy. Its more of a right brain type concept than linguistic/analytical.

So I'll try to explain how I understand it and what polarization would mean.

Over the years, I've come to think of things in terms of energy. How things feel, not in terms of emotion, but in terms of how energy associated with a thing feels. Different things, people, concepts, places, animals have different energy signatures.

Light and dark is one way to catogerize different types of energy. It seems to be the case that mixing these two energies together acts to dilute them.

I think what it is, is that if you have a tendency toward the dark polarity, mixing in light polarity oriented things feels yucky. It feels like guilt manipulation. Darkworkers are more aware of power relationships I think.

So I think what happens is, that if you are unpolarized, you end up being more easily manipulated by guilt. You allow yourself to be manipulated by guilt because you feel if you don't then that makes you a bad person.

I think polarization clarifies things makes them more pure. Gets rid of all the "should's" and the guilt.

Here are some things I associate with Dark polarity. It doesn't mean you have to embody all these things this is just free association basically:

Getting rich.
Getting strong.
Winning.
Pride.
independance.
GQ
Exclusivity
type A personality


If you go to a magazine rack. You might be able to pick up different kinds of energies from different ones. Some cater more to darkworkers. Really a lot of them do. In a more dark magazine, the ads will be really dark. Now in a magazine with kind of a dark feel, you wouldn't all of a sudden see an add employing some type of hokey sentimentality. I mean that's how it would look.

So I think polarization is about distilling these various energies. I think the main advantage is you stop lying to yourself. If you want to be rich and earn respect and buy really nice things and be accepted into exclusive groups, you don't have to tell yourself, your main motivation for making money is to help starving children in the third world.

As far as doing things to help people day to day, to me that is just part of being social. But I think once you are really underway, there is less lag time, more focused action.
self reliance.

This is what I was thinking it was too and that is why I was confused. Now that I finally understand it, I think you're only partially right. I know you're only giving examples, but people should understand that all, some or none of these have to be your path as a darkworker. Meaning, I don't read GQ or have a type A Personality. What I do have is a chameleon type personality where I can adjust to whatever circumstances I'm in.

Actually, nothing you DO is really a darkworker thing. It's really the starting point of all thoughts that determines your polarity, not what you DO.

I'm actually not even sure one can switch polarities. I think you're born with it one way or another, and the only thing you can do is polarize 100% towards yours, not "pick" one.

It has nothing to do with being introverted/extroverted, or even in my model whether one is a SELFWorker / WORLDWorker. Meaning, I now understand that I can be a Darkworker SELFWorker/WORLDWorker, meaning 100% Darkworker/50% SELFWorker/50% WORLDWorker, or 100/20/80, or 100/80/20 or whatever other combination of SELF/WORLD worker.

If you look at my diagram on my blog it is a 2d diagram with 4 quadrants and has 4 directions like a compass (has a X and Y axis). Imagine that in 3D with a Z axis pointing towards/away from you. Z axis is the axis which determines the flow of energy IN our OUT. That energy flowing IN lets say can be then colored by your ego to go in the 4 directions in my diagram, direction of LOVE/FEAR and SELF/WORLD. The energy flowing IN or OUT is neither SELF nor WORLD, nor LOVE nor FEAR. It's just IN energy from source and it gets colored by YOU in one of the 4 directions. "Lightworker" has the same thing except his energy is OUT.

I know I "get it", but it's a bit hard to explain using words.

I've started losing all my self-doubt. I was looking at my list of goals to do before I die, and the "crazy" ones are looking a lot less crazy. I also feel so much more clear and was able to plan my day in about 5 minutes instead of the usual 30 minutes of mental arguing that usually happens. That and I got up an hour before my alam, completely cleaned my bedroom and now I feel even clearer and more organized. Plus seeing my bedroom floor again is a plus, and getting out of my bedroom without risking bodily harm is a major plus

I felt a boost of energy, even anger, when i decided to polarize as a Darkworker. Seems like most ppl are moving in that direction. Then I got DarkWorker Syndrome and stopped. I thought the reason I felt this way was sort of a placebo effect, but looks like a lot of people are experiencing the same thing.

So how do we avoid Darkworker syndrome exactly?




Also, can we make a Darkworker and Lightworker club and slug it out till we move up in consciousness? (jk)

Anger at yourself, or the world? I felt anger at the the world when I first started because it had kept me down. I reversed that and remembered that we create our own reality and that it was my "fault" I was kept down, which means I have the power to change that. Then I got this great surge of appreciation and love for myself.

There is no Darkworker Syndrome. A TOTAL connection 100% to darkworker (IN) energy is healthy, not a syndrome. What you're describing and mixing it up with is SELFWorker Syndrome which I think a lot of Darkworker people inevitably run into. To avoid what you call Darkworker Syndrome (actually SELFWorker Syndrome) you need to get rid of FEAR energy in your life. The article I wrote about SELFWorkers/WORLDWorkers explains the two syndromes and how to avoid them:

Is it in your thoughts that the extreme case of the syndrome related to fear, is also at the lowest level of consciousness?

Inyour colorful diagrams you have an axis that has fear/love. Isthedarkworker's syndrome at the absolute end of that axis toward fear?

And also is this fear/love axis also levels of consciousness? That toward the love (top in your orientation) is a higher level of consciousness?

Sam988 will become famous soon enough

When i decided to polarize as a Darkworker i also felt a strange boost in energy, as i walked i felt more secure, more "energetic", felt like my posture was straighter, i had more harmonious movements.

And there was no anger as some stated above, there was just more self love and i was more determined than ever to fulfill my every needs.



First time i read steves article about light/darkworkers something inside of me clicked and i then i started reading everything about the subject with a degree of interest i rarely have.

It really resonated perfectly within me, polarizing was right what i needed, but i had never figured that out before.


Polarizing is all about your inner-attitude and not about outer-attitude. As you are clear about your inner attitude (either self or world) your outer attitude will feel much more natural to you and there wont guilt nor doubt, therefore maximizing your efficiency, because there's no more inner conflict.


Thats why its impossible to sometimes settle lightworker intentions and sometimes settle darkworker intentions, because the intentions can be the same, what changes is the reason of the intentions, and you cant pick a reason that doesnt fit what you are, because the emotions that come with the wron reason wont be very strong, and that will ultimately bring no results from LoA.




Thanks god i think i get polarization well enough in order for it to work well in my life.

The arrows represent the direction of your energy. So, for example in "SELFWorker Syndrome" your energy is mostly LOVE when it comes to yourself, but your energy is mostly FEAR when it comes to the world. Therefore the NET effect of the energy is cancelled out. It's like a tug-o-war. It's not binary though. Meaning, if you put a lot of LOVE towards yourself and only a little FEAR towards the world, your "SELFWorker Syndrome" is not as severe as someone who puts a LOT of FEAR towards the world and a little LOVE towards themselves.

In fact, a "SELFWorker Syndrome" person might still be producing a positive net effect when it comes to going up the consciousness scale, but his progress won't be as fast as when he realizes that his FEAR towards the world is slowing him down.

For example, I once read a book called "Looking out for #1". That book is a WORLD Fear manual. For example, it teaches you that in business if you call someone and they tell you that "The check is in the mail." they are lying. Now, poeple experienced in business will read that and think "He's RIGHT!" because they remember when people lied to them about that, but imagine what will happen to their business if they believe that? Well, since we know how LoA works, what happens when your beliefs are "Clients will screw you at every step if you allow them to.", "If they don't pay within 30 days they are thieves." etc. etc. You'll just attract more and more of these! And you'll self-fullfill your own prophecy.

I'll give you one example. I came home one day and my Internet was cut off. My thoughts are like "WTF?! I need my Internet to do something, what did they do!?" so I called my service provider and they told me it's because I had an outstanding balance for over 60 days or something. I was shocked because I pay my bills online automatically. Turns out that there was Pay-Per-View hockey game or something that I forgot about that put my bill over its regular amount and I have my bills setup to auto-pay themselves as the amount is pretty much ALWAYS the same. I didn't check my paper bills during that 60 day period for that account since it's always the same amount so their computer disconnected me for having like a $10 balance overdue for 60 days.

Ok, so I call in to my service provider and I ask them what's going on. They explain, I figure out what happened. I ask them if they can turn on my cable Internet so that I can go online and pay my bill. The lady on the phone was "WORLD Fear" oriented so she was like "NO WAY, you have to go to our location tomorrow and pay the bill in person and only then we will connect your service back up." Ok...my monthly bill is like $130/month for cable, internet etc. I've been paying on that account for 7 years at least. That's $10,920 I've paid them, and she won't turn on my Internet because I owe them 10 BUCKS!? I pleaded with her and told her that I can pay it online 2 seconds after she turns on the Internet and give her the bank's confirmation number, but she was not listening at all. Her brain was already in "WORLD FEAR" mode. Nothing I said to her was going to change her mind. The more I pleaded with her the more she started to treat me like a criminal, almost like I just stole a million dollars from her company and I'm the scum of the earth that creates all the suffering on earth. It was helarious! For 10 bucks!

So, realizing this is not getting me anywhere I hung up the phone, went downstairs, had a cup of tea, went back upstairs with the intention of getting this resolved and I called back the phone center. This time, my energy wasn't "WTF!? What did you guys do!" , but instead it was "Let us get this resolved nicely". I wasn't calling in to yell at them, I was calling in to thank them to getting this resolved for me. So, because my energy changed from WORLD FEAR to WORLD LOVE, I got a different phone operator.

I said hello, how are you, and being very honest I explained to her my story. I said something along the lines of "Hi! How are you? Hi, Cathy (made up name, I can't remember her real name), listen I've done something really dumb and I'm wondering if you could help. I'm kind of lazy so I set my banking online to automatically pay my bills to you guys every month, and I've had it like that for years without any problems. I was so excited when I set this up because it saved me so much time having to pay the bills every month for the same amount.

Well, anyway, I've been a customer of your for over 7 years and I've always paid my bill -- you know that becuase you would have disconnected me if I didn't -- and I made a stupid mistake two months ago. I ordered a pay per view hockey game and totally forgot to adjust my banking online to pay for that, so of course your computers picked up on that and saw i had a $10 balance outstanding for over 60 days and shut off my account. To make matters worse, once I figured out what happened I couldn't even pay the bill because I pay everything online and I don't have Internet!

Now I know you guys don't normally do this, except in special circumstances but could you do me a HUGE favor and turn my Internet back on for just a minute and I'll run to my computer, pay the $10 bill, and tell you the confirmation number immediately so you can put it into the computer and close the trouble ticket you guys probably have open on this?"

I'll give you one guess what she said..... "Sure! I'll do that right away for you sir! Just hang on one minute, I'll put you on hold and get our tech department to turn it on for you. I'll put a note in your account that you will pay the bill online today so as long as we get payment from your bank within the next few days your account will stay open." and I said "Thank you so much Cathy, you've really helped me out, I appreciate your excellent service!"

2 minutes later I had my Internet back up and running.

A "SELFWorker Syndrome" sufferer would have done the first part, and then maybe tried a few other ways to FORCE his way to get his Internet back up, and would have been met with equal FORCE back, and then would have gone around telling everyone how stupid the cable company is, sharing yet another story of how stupid the world is and how he would run things totally different if he was the CEO there.

As you see in my example, I actually had a "WORLD FEAR" attitude to start with (ie. What did they do!?) on the first phone call, but I quickly corrected myself and tried again this time reflecting LOVE towards the company that works so hard to deliver quality Internet service to my home for an affordable price! Had I not corrected that energy I would have been forced to be without Internet that night, until the next day when I would have had to drive my butt to the bank or their office to pay the bill directly. That is how SELF LOVE and WORLD FEAR holds you back.

Hope that answers your question.

Well, my view of a darkworker isn't about going apeshit on people. The biggest badasses in the world are always in control and don't even raise their voice.

Even t.v. characters bring this out. Think of the "Ciggarette smoking man" on x-files. He was always calm and polite, never raised his voice.

Back to the original subject though,

One change I have noticed, is I find myself not "hoping" or "wishing" things. I figure everything I do in life, I will orchestrate it.

Aggressive behaviour (yelling, shouting, etc.) is not the only way to express fear energy. "Cancer man" did it behind the scenes. He obviously realized that the FORCE he could apply in situations didn't come from physical strength, but rather by manipulating information. It's still the same thing. Someone bashing a person's face in, and someone politely, quietly, treating people nicely and then slipping poison into their drinks, are just different paths towards expressing the same fear.

The difference between WORLD LOve and WORLD Fear is how you EXPECT the world to be. Darkworkers EXPECT the world to be a scary place and so they act accordingly, and sure enough the world reflects that back to them.

Yup, so now take the next step and orchestrate your world to be an awesome place with no conflict, anger or pain. Since you're "orchestrating", might as well orchestrate something positive that feels good. Unless you like pain.

So your energy has directions in more than in/out in your diagrams?

What does having a net movement on your diagram mean to the individual?
Does it only matter to have movement away from the center to get things done?

Or is there one direction away from the center that is most effecient? (In terms of pursuing bigger goals - like being more and more aware and kind/peaceful.

That is to say Self Love and World Fear are limiting beliefs, right? Holds one back in terms of resolving unmanaged bills? How about bigger terms? Like in terms of bigger life span type goals? In particular, being more conscious as a life goal?

You seem to be bringing up the idea that depending on your oreintation on the diagram, where you are placed, produces interactions with other people of a certain kind - or of the some kind from where you are operating.

Off topic, ha?
How fast does one get results after going polar?
I don't know, haven't tried.
Seems like it's to motivate one's big goals - my biggest is to know enlightenment, so I have approached this polarity idea in terms of how would it help with the big goal? I still don't have my own answer for that.
