Profile of a Darkworker

[here2seek]

As I was trying to wrap my head around the concept of the darkworker and shed any projected negative connotations that it is somehow "bad" or "evil". I came up with this hypothetical profile of a darkworker. I think it will help others to shed the negatives they project onto the darkworker concept.

Let's call our hypothetical darkworker Edgar. As a child Edgar was always interested in science and technology. Has passion for science and technology drives his academics and he lands himself in MIT and gets a top-notch education in bioengineering. During the course of getting his degree he took classes in religion, psychology, and philosophy and subsequently develops a passion for seeking the ultimate reality behind the universe and applies both scientific and spiritual discovery in this process. Edgar begins to realize his divine nature and connectedness to the universe and sees it as a source of power and intuition to aid him on his quest. In Edgars case, he finds that it is much easier and more effective for him to draw from the universe than to give and begins down the path of the darkworker wholeheartedly.

Now polarized as a darkworker, Edgar applies his new found powers to make a profound scientific breakthrough and increase HIS understanding of the universe (and ultimately himself). Edgar invents an ultra-efficient solar cell technology that can even produce energy from non-white light solar rays even in the darkness of night. This has a profound impact on the planet, drastically reducing humanity's reliance on petroleum and giving the environment a bright future. Note that he didn't want to "save the planet". He saw the energy problem as a grand challenge that would grow HIS power, status, freedom and understanding of the universe.

Of course this makes Edgar fabulously wealthy and he builds a company around the technology. He feels that a company would give him the power and freedom for even grander truth seeking and ultimately self-understanding. He builds a consortium around his technology and helps many others start companies, become wealthy and employ many people, but he does this to simply grow his personal power. He realizes that the most successful companies have the happiest employees, so he completely subsidizes his employees healthcare and creates a fun and flexible company culture. He does this because it will make his company dominant, not because he cares all that much about everyone else's path in life or well being. He creates a philanthropic arm of his company to invest in "green" and eco-friendly startup companies because he knows that it will be powerful marketing and encourage more people to buy his products, ultimately giving him more power and freedom to explore the nature of himself.

As a leader Edgar is courteous, clear, trusting, and empowering. Why? He knows that being a jerk to people will cause distracting friction in his life that he'd rather not deal with, and he finally realizes the connectedness of reality and sees no sense in being nasty others as it is ultimately damage to himself, and disruptive to his darkworker path. He can easily trust others because ultimately it is only his own path that matters (he is not dependent on anyone), and he empowers others to go off and find success on their own as he is not interested in their path. He even reacts to criticism in an ego-less manner seeing it as simply information and not having any negative bearing on his journey.

Edgar is a vegetarian. Not out of compassion for animals, rather he believes it is the best diet for his body, allowing him to live long and have the maximum amount of energy for his passionate quest for self-discovery.

At home Edgar also wants to focus on his path, and to enable himself to do that he maintains a healthy and harmonious home life. His wife is happy, beautiful, intelligent, competent and relaxed, making it easy for him to draw sexual and intellectual power from her when desired. His children are well-behaved and independent because he simply does not have the time or desire to deal with troublesome children, and ultimately they must be encouraged to find their own path. He has no time or desire to share his discoveries them as his path is the one that matters. A frictionless home means he can focus on his self discovery. You might wonder why he even has a family, but to him, family is another experience to help him learn about himself.

Edgar amasses many billions of dollars and finds a new source of friction in his life with the IRS, distracting him from self-discovery. He sets up a granting foundation that provides millions and millions of dollars to medical and environmental research, relieving a bulk of his tax burden and removing that friction from his life. He is also interested the raw science being performed with his foundation money as ultimately it will help him understand the nature of reality and thus his own nature. If they cure cancer with his money he will not feel compassion towards the people who benefit from the cure. Their path does not matter.

In retirement Edgar seeks a new direction in trying to understand his god-self and joins doctors without borders. Using his power and intelligence he quickly learns the necessary field medicine, and flies off to do the work. Does he does this out of compassion for others? No, he needs to see what the experience tells him about himself. He wants to encounter people who suffer greatly, watch them be healed, learn from them so he can learn more about himself. It is not compassion for others that drives him, but a drive for self discovery.

Near the end of his life, Edgar spends time at a prominent university, taking classes and talking to intellectual elite to help further his understanding of his divine nature. In a moment of ego-centrism, Edgar gives the university a billion dollars to build cutting edge learning and research facilities that bear his name.

I believe that Edgar, as I've portrayed him, stayed true to his darkworker polarity until his death, but throughout his journey to understand himself, he had a profoundly positive effect on the planet and the lives of millions, if not billions of people. I hope this helps people shed their belief that someone who polarizes as a darkworker is somehow "evil" or "destructive".
Edgar's path led him to understand God, the unity and connectedness of the universe, and possibly even a loving light behind it all, but he did it through service to and discovery of the self.

Try not to get too hung up on nit-picking details in my story. I'm just putting it out there in the hope it conveys a larger understanding of the darkworker path. Of course this is just a reflection of my current understanding of the darkworker which may be different from yours.

[peacefulmind]

good story. I feel the same way that a darkworker is not evil and can make a big difference in people's lives. The person you are describing is a highly conscious person but not conscious to the point of enlightenment. The problem comes when a darkworker hits the level of enlightenment if it is even possible. All the people who I think of as people who have reached the state of enlightenment are people like Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Krishna ext. All these people serve others over themselves so where does a darkworker come in to all this.

[impaul99]

Just FYI, Edgar is a lightworker-SELFWorker under my Model. As long as he doesn't fall into "SELFWORKER Syndrome", he'll be ok and will contribute greatly to the universe as any lightworker does.

He is not a darkworker under my model.

[backpocket]

lol. apparently most of the people on this board seem to have this impression that a darkworker will eventually cause something negative to happen in this world, will cheat, lie and steal to reach his goals, and the idea that a darkworker might live a good life and leaving contributions is inconceivable.

but it is possible for that to happen. here2seek, i find that profile of a darkworker is a very good description of one, doing everything mainly for himself, and not for the interest of the world.

he just SEEMS like a lightworker because nearly everything that he does has a positive impact on the world, even though that isn't his main intention. steve too has mentioned before that a lightworker and a darkworker may seem alike, the only difference is their motivation. it's either to help himself, or help the world.

[yossarian]

Since darkworking is the path towards separation I don't really see how he will find unity like you explain.

The other thing which you didn't really touch on is power. How is his power relationship with the rest of the world?

Certainly, as a darkworker, he wants to learn how to control people and get them to do what he thinks is best? If he gained power over many people, couldn't he use them to further his own understanding of the universe?

The guy you are talking about seems like he has no social presence at all. You don't really explain how he relates to people.

What does he do against enemies who try to bring him down?

How does he treat people who refuse his requests?

If he has billions of dollars and is very powerful, why not take more control of humanity to achieve greater aims?

Imagine, he could explore outer space. There are so many people sitting around idly, he could take power and unite them in a cause.

Since he wanted to learn through experience, did he try crime? Did he ever murder anyone? Maybe he could try out genocide?

What about eugenics? Surely he sees the wisdom in passing on his good genes as much as possible, and the genes of other fit individuals, while stopping those who are unfit from contaminating the gene pool.

Also a pure vegan diet is simply not optimal. Humans need a small amount of animal products at minimum - Vitamin B12 for instance. If you're only interested in health you won't be a strict vegan.

I guess it just seems to me like you're limiting your darkworker. His options are so much wider, but you restrain him, keeping him within socially acceptible boundaries when he is so powerful and is free to roam.

Surely such an intelligent billionaire can make himself above the law.

Why doesn't he strive for absolute freedom and power? And if he has that power, why not use it?

Why doesn't he reshape the world to be more palatable to his tastes? Surely he has the wealth needed to mobilize nations.

What darkworker, if sufficiently powerful, wouldn't make himself Dictator of Earth? Is that not supreme power and freedom?

[Kingston]

Nice work here2seek. This is a perfect example of the same result with whatever polarity.

[Theo77]

I think Darkworkers, invented most religions.

So, if they can't be enligtened, how can that be?

I liked the profile. I think having your subject starting out interested in science is interesting, because often people into science, mathmatics, etc. aren't "people person's" but that doesn't mean they are evil.

Which for me raises the question: "What is the alignment associated primarily with seeking knowledge and wisdom? What alignement would most great philosophers be?

One that comes to mind is Nietzche. He wrote a book called "Beyond Good and Evil" I think that gives a bit of a hint right there.

Yes he could do all these things, but if you think better you will realize that all of these things, even with not very good means, ultimately are good things.


Imagine if he controlled the entire earth. Have you seen a government that treats his people badly last long? Of course not. Therefore he would obviously please his people and punish the opposers in order to maintain power. He would end up creating political and economical oneness, saving the world from constant wars that kill much more people than his punishments would have killed.


And in the long run, once the world is united, it would develop economically and technologically more quickly than now with all these differences, and since more riches would be created, there wouldnt be millions of persons per year dying from hungry, and all the lives wasted in the wars that were needed to create world oneness would eventually be compensated by many times by the lives saved from death of lack of food and proper medical treatments.




Now imagine this scenario being accomplished by a lightworker. Its possible isnt it? He also thought about all of the benefits for the world in the long run and decided he was willing to pay the price with precious humans lives wasted in the wars needed to create the world oneness. Maybe a bit less persons would die in the proccess since he would rather not kill the opposers but rather arrest them, even though war between nations would be impossible to avoid. But in the end the result would be the same, and only a fraction of human lives more would be saved than in the darkworker scenario.


What changes is the reason. One is for power the other is for the benefit of the whole. The results are the same. There's the balance.

[impaul99]

This is what some of you are equating with the term "DARKWORKER":



And you think that "LIGHTWORKER" is:




I believe that a "LIGHTWORKER" fully polarized is this:



And a "DARKWORKER" fully polarized is this:




If you'd like to read the article I wrote that explains this model of Polarization take a look here: » SelfWorkers, WorldWorkers and Polarizing with Love or Fear > Self Help Wisdom to Inspire, Empower and Enlighten You

Even if you don't agree with my terms/labels, at least if you agree that what I call "SELFWorker Syndrome" you call Darkworker, and what I call "WORLDWorker Syndrom" you call Lightworker, it may help to understand how your version of Darkworker ("SELFWorker Syndrome" in my model) can attain a high level of consciousness and even enlightenment.

I totally agree that either polarity can do either "good" or "bad" things.

My contention is against the notion that "evil" doesn't exist. It does exist, and it is what we'd classify as someone who cares nothing for others and is willing to murder/rape/torture/dominate/brutalize

If you polarize to the dark you are much more likely to end up doing murder, rape, torture, lying and so on. A lightworker would tend to avoid these whereas a darkworker would have no problem with them as long as he can get away with it.

There is no good reason why a darkworker is going to follow socially acceptable moral laws when he is not being forced to. For instance when Steve was a darkworker, he learned how to steal. And so he stole. It was a very doable thing, and now that he is an accomplished shoplifter I bet he is very very capable of stealing anything whenever he wants to, and not getting caught. At worst he'd have to explain to the shopowner, "oh I forgot to pay for this. I'm so sorry." And they would believe him because he's an affluant 30-something white male.

Shoplifting is the type of crime that is very easy to get away with and has a very low risk, especially if you're an adult.

So why does Steve pay for his gum at the store when he could just lift it? Because he realises it's immoral and doesn't want to harm the world.

Why doesn't Steve pirate software? Because he wants the programmers to benefit.

In a conventional sense light vs. dark is morality vs. immorality. There are certainly exceptions but in general a darkworker is going to commit more murder and a lightworker is going to feel more compassion.

I think it's very naieve to overlook this fact when choosing a polarity.

Is there anything wrong with murder, genocide, etc? IMO that's a personal choice. It's an issue of personal morality. But your decision on that question WILL have a bearing on your polarity because it's very very hard for a lightworker to justify murder, whereas a darkworker will do it as long as he can get away it and it benefits him.

I could just be one sided. But if you're working for yourself and ONLY yourself this neccessarily means that you are going to take whatever you can from others. If it's takable anonymously, you'll take it. If you're alone on a road with no one watching, you'll litter. If you have nothing to benefit from helping someone out, you won't help them. Anonymous charity is the antithesis of darkwork and the modus operandi of lightwork.

[Sam988]

The more aware the darkworker is, the less crime/murder he will do and the more he will help others because he knows, by his awareness, that he will be benefiting himself ultimately.


The darkworkers that commit crimes and other stuff that really harms other people are just very low aware, and they end up being victims of the "darkworker syndrome". After that, they hopefully (if they're not so dumb lol) realize that by helping others they end up helping themselves.


So whats the difference between a high aware darkworker and a high aware lightworker since their actions will be the same? The reason. One does it for his own benefit while the other does it for the benefit of the whole.

[Aphrodite]

I am enjoying reading this concept and have started a thread with a link to steves description on another site.

Its fascinating to me, as I have just been becoming aware of this myself, just never had a name to put to it.

darkworkers were simply put what I call lucky Ar#eH*7... you know what i mean? LOL

they are people that dont care about anything except their own success or experiences. they dont necessarily do anything particularly 'evil' or morally wrong, but they dont do it with any heart.

heart in the sense of caring for others - or with empathy.

I have been saying to my hubby lately how i feel so annoyed with people like this as everything appears to come easily to them and i didnt feel they deserve any of it, because in my judgement they didnt deserve it.

you have helped me come to accept - once again - that we choose and decide our outcomes.

Now, I want to be a darkworker LOL, so how does one simply wash away a life time of empathy for everyone everything else and start focussing on oneself?

hmmmm now theres a challenge.

Whydoes a darkworker have to washaway empathy for everyone everythingelse? Is focusing on service to self also not having empathy? I hopenot.

Of coarse themixing of polarities is tobeavoided,apperently.

Can a darkworker have empathy for others? I'd say yes, the empathy directed to the self inflow darkworker self can get big enough or intesne enopuhg that people around this individual get the residual of self empathy. How would that fit?

[Theo77]

Wolfgang,

I think what appears to be your sweet natured egalitarian mindset, is getting in the way of your understanding this.

I mean if lightworkers and darkworkers are equally empathic, what's the distinction?

You don't polarize to the dark side in order to express empathy.

[Theo77]

I think empathy can be overdone though. People with a lot of empathy are prone to falling for guilt manipulation.

[Sam988]

I think thats pretty hard if not impossible to do. If you were born feling so much empathy for others, become a lightworker because thats what fits best for you.

I think people are either born with a tendency to fit best as darkworkers or a tendency to fit best as lightworkers. But i dont know for sure, the only perspective i have is my own.

In my case, when i saw steve's articles about polarization i knew i would be much better polarizing into darkworking. But i didnt choose it, when i saw it i knew i was much more darkworker than lightworker, i just had to finish the proccess and become 100% darkworker, so there wouldnt be any more conflict.

So if you had empathy for others mainly your entire life, becoming a lightworker is the right thing to do, if you choose darkworker, im afraid you wont succeed or have to put much more effort than if you become lightworker.



But the conclusions above are based on my experience only, i dont know how everybody responds to polarity, so i'm definitely not 100% sure about whats right for others to do about this subject.

And hey, lightworkers can succeed as much as darkworkers in life, polarization is to motivate, so you can have the same goals a darkworker would, but with a lightworker motivation.

Is that an oxymoron: empathic darkworker?
I guess I think to not have empathy would be a darkworker syndrome candadate. Why would someone specifically rule out empathy?

Oh, might have too much - then it's the over done lightworker - over extended service to others beyond what was just the right amount tied to the ability to provide value forothers.

And yes, what is or would be the distinction? The distinction between empathy experience seems more in step with level of consciousness. More empathy, higher level of conscioueness.

So, if a darkworker can also progess toward enligthenment/pease/ease, while a darkworker does this consoiusness rasing - what is up with the empathy? I say, it increases so the empathy can expand with your consciouesness. In which case the empathy reaches more people or life.

[Freelancer]

Here's my view on lightworking/darkworking (similar to OP's);

Light worker

A person mainly considered of the well being of everybody else.

stage 1
At the start of his journey (low level of conscious) he will be very aware of the needs of everyone around him. He will have a tendency to have to much empathy and sacrifice to much to help others, ultimately this limits his ability to help others. These are the people who have a tendency to agree with everybody else and not really expressing there own opinions, they'r miserable because they can't serve others (and themselve, you are as important as everybody else).

stage 2
Some of them realize that by focusing on self growth increases there ability to help other people, so he starts raising his level of conscious. This is a point of a lot of inner conflict, he has to come with terms of helping himself first so that everybody can benefit the most. This is the start of his journey to a higher level of consciousness and ultimately enlightment if he gets that far. This is also the toughest phase to go through...

Stage 3
At this point they have raised there consciousness to a sufficient level to both serve themselves (through growth) and other people. I'm not sure of what happens after this level of consciousness, I can't see that far. I'm still not polarized and I have a feeling I'm more edging towards darkworker than lightworker, although I first have to come in terms with myself about focusing on myself regardless of my path.



Darkworker

Stage 1
The low level of consciousness here has two parts;
1) The criminals and thugs, these darkworkers have a tendency to hurt others to satisfy themselves. They are generally raised in hostile environments that require 'self defense' both emotionally and physically. They'r not necesarry evil but misguided, they don't understand yet that the best way to get maximum benefit is to find a way to serve the masses. They are not focused on mental growth but mostly interested in material goods. This is also the darkworkers most people imagine.
2) The darkworker which society has tried to mold into a lightworker, they generally feel unfit for society like there not a part of it. These type of darkworkers tend to process the easiest into a higher consciousness because they can start to see the benefits of growth and helping others. They have a tendency to 'go with the flow' because they don't see a benefit for fighting against the system. By going with the flow they reduce the pain and risk but limit happiness at the same time. These people have a tendency to numb the consciousness with PC games/tv/mindless jobs while being overly materialistically orientated.
They get to a higher consciousness and become more growth orientated if they realize that becoming a better person means more happiness/wealth/love for himself.

Stage 2
For both of them the next phase in there personal development journey is the same, although they will encounter different problems. At this point they realized that by becoming a better person (both skills/socially/empathy) has a lot of benefits for him. They will start to seperate themselves from the general mold and leave there old habits behind. There real growth starts to happen at this point and they start serving society more while always keeping the benefits (and how to maximize them) to themself in the back of there mind. They stop focusing on immediate benefits but instead start focusing on improving there life (and ultimately there future). In OP's story the character seems to have skipped the lower level's of consciousness very smoothly.

Stage 3
This is still foggy for me but I'd think he continue's to refine his ability to serve himself while continueing to grow. Its possible that it splits into two category's again at this point, one becoming the big corporate business men who's wealthy and unhappy (generalizing here). And the other goes further down the path of enlightment and tries to understand the universe while serving himself. This second type is what OP describes and the first type is the person a lot of people see as a darkworker. There are a lot of shades of darkworking as well, its not entirely black and white and there all seperated by the level of consciousness.
The first type is the 'evil' one who turns into the next hitler if continueing along that path, this person is sufficiently far along the path of higher consciousness to see the bigger picture but still below the second type.
The second type has the possibility of turning into the next big historical figure, they do a lot of good for humanity but ultimately serve themselves.

General

The path's for both darkworkers and lightworkers are both very similar the higher your consciousness starts to rise. The initial starts are very different however and there choice to 'polarize' was made for different reasons. Lightworkers have a underlying principle of serving others/themselves best while darkworkers try to serve themself best. The outcomes are very similar in that they become the persons in history who make the difference, there actions are often very similar but the underlying reasoning is very different.

Note that they are very different personality's from the inside but looking from the outside in they'r very similar. I'd think that its easier to understand all of this if/when your polarize and understand what it means (if you understand your side than the otherside becomes more clear as well).

Note that both the light and darkworkers have to balance there own needs and other people's needs to gain maximum efficiency, its also a constant balancing act of mental growth and physical action. Both balances are probably the biggest hurdles both have to overcome.

Note that its much easier for lightworkers to fall back into a very low level state of consciousness than darkworkers. The turn side of the coin is that darkworkers are much more drawn towards world domination and 'evil' things.

Note that both lightworkers and darkworkers can be forced by society to do the things associated with the 'other side. If a lightworker is raised in a harmfull environment with addicted parents and full of crime and poor he'll inevitably end up doing 'evil' things. This doesn't change his nature, it won't feel natural to him but they feel its the only way they can function.
The other way around can work as well, if a darkworker has a tendency to think of himself before others than society is very much capable of hammering this out. Its still in his core but covered up with believe systems of other people. These darkworkers turn into the robotic factory guy...
This is once again a lower level of consciousness, they are simply not aware of it.

This is just my view of the whole thing, and I'm pretty much in 'step 2' and starting to discover my own potential. I'm not sure if I'm a light or darkworker at this point, I know I'll eventually discover my polarity and that its either way good for me. The results are in the end the same, and the passion/drive is the biggest benefit for me. I also believe there is a middle path between light/darkworker as a person who automatically has a tendency to pull himself ahead of others but still considers somebody else happiness important (not from a ego centered view). Not sure about that though, its just a thought of mine. My view is on the rest of the road is still a bit foggy, I guess I need to walk further before I really start seeying the benefits of either polariziation (and the end of the path).

I also think that this is steve's view of the whole light/darkworker although I think he's more focused on the later stages while I'm still focusing on the earlier stages (thats where I am). I realize though that its difficult to understand the higher stages if your not atleast close to that path. Its like walking down a misty path, you can only see a few meters ahead and behind you. I am still very much in the early stages so I can't see very far ahead but I can clearly see how it all starts. I imagine steve is way further down this path than me so he can see the later stages better than me, but the earlier stages are a bit foggy.
Again this all sprung from my own imagination reading this story and steve's articles...



This turned out into a small article and a lot longer than I expected, its such a fascinating concept. I could write a entire book on this view with stories about persons I see around me, basically I see the 'evidence' of a flawed society that supresses human ability's of both light and darkworkers...



Edit
Summary for the tl;dr people;
If you focus on getting a higher consciousness while balancing mental/physical ability's and helping others/yourself you'll have the most success, what polarity you are will come to you eventually...

[Aphrodite]

and rightly so to focus more on the earlier stages because this is what defines our outcome at the end of our lives, where we look back and evaluate our existence.

For me I think a darkworker is preferential - at the polarised end, to a lightworker as it is more self sustaining.

when a person is sacrificing themselves they do wear out. and I find a contradiction in Freelancers 3rd point for lightworkers

Stage 3
At this point they have raised there consciousness to a sufficient level to both serve themselves (through growth) and other people. I'm not sure of what happens after this level of consciousness, I can't see that far. I'm still not polarized and I have a feeling I'm more edging towards darkworker than lightworker, although I first have to come in terms with myself about focusing on myself regardless of my path.

A lightworker will N
