Actually, you have helped me understand this now - at least your version of it I still don't know about the possibility of "polarizing" so that you are perpetually 100% in one of those states and never in the other. And when I think about what Steve writes on polarity and "lightwork" and "darkwork", I'm not sure he really means what you mean with polarity and the two sides. I also see proof that he is not 100% polarized to love either...as he says he is...I know signs of love and I know what it feels like and that is what I aspire to, and I know he is not how I am aspiring to be, so something somewhere is amiss.

And hurting others is more a matter of how conscious one is. Not if you are being motivated by service of self, or fear, or love-of-self. I do say that ignoring others while being motivated by service to self, or by fear, or love-of-self does open the opputunity or chance to harm others or you aren't doing anything to prevent it - and as such I strive to not have motivation which ignores others. | |

my beliefs: ![]() As you increase your polarity, you increase your magical power. (if manifesting something through intentions is not magic, then what is? There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein |

I guess the biggest problem, I have with your model Yossarian, is: A: I am very skeptical of channeled material in general. There is a huge burden of proof upon it as far as I am concerned, that is almost never met. Asuming psychic mediumship is 100% legit (a big assumption in and of itself) assuming people actually can channel people from the beyond, just because someone is another dimension, doesn't mean they know everything and it doesn't mean they can't lie and decieve people. B. The model is too limited, in its terms of expression the two respective polarities. Or maybe you are looking at it in too limited a way. Like dark polarized people must be a military dictator, otherwise they are simply "dicking around" and aren't polarized. I am into philosophy. My impression is that philosophy, the contemplative life, etc. Is primarily concerned with seeking wisdom and knowledge. So is that "lightworking?" To me it really doesn't seem to be the case. Its not religion. Its not about going around healing other people. Now, if you say, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,Nietzche, etc. Are basicallly lightweights (that other 99%.) I just can't take what you say seriously. Now, I think there is somthing to this polarity stuff. I prefer to think the matter is not 100% settled as far as I am concerned. That leaves me open to a lot of new information. I can't just take channeled material and say the matter has been decided and follow it dogmatically, like a Biblical literalists or somthing. There are many great people of history to look back on that accomplished great things and they weren't all either healers or military conquerors. You seem really dismissive of disciplines not in these two narrow categories. Mybe RA is in a dark polarity and trying to keep people from seeking personal power, by convincing them that to be powerful they must become Ghengis Khan. That's equally as likely as any other interpretation. IMO |

That is, if the model is correct. The thing with channeling is it always seems to draw on stuff that has already been written about. Its as if these Millenia old entities go to New Age Bookstores and read up on stuff before finding a vessel to transmit all this info. So ts like since I have read stuff in this area already I can feel in the blanks as to what "Ra" has to say. Or maybe this is actually truth, that is just so ubiquitous that it comes from all over the place at once, when people are ready for it. I am open to both possibilities. I think my basic hang up though is that polarizing with love seems to imply giving up personal power and yeilding control. I leke directing my own actions rather than feeling like I am being directed by others. So I hold out hope that there is a way to weild personal power with out being either dispicably evil, nor...You know, everyones servant. |

Channeled stuff must be judged on the content itself first and foremost. Quote:
IMO those 4 contributed a lot to humanity, and all 4 seemed quite selfless, so they were probably somewhere between 40% service to others and 70% service to others. But what do I know? I'm just guessing. Where they were specifically just depends on the specifics of their life. And of course, their polarity would change constantly throughout their lives. Almost no one is going to polarize beyond 80% service to others. You don't have to be a military leader. According to the same source Rasputin the Russian mystic reached graduation threshold for service to self. Knowledge and wisdom is basically just information. The use you put the knowledge to determines your polarity. Science and philosophy is independant from polarity. Our knowledge of nuclear energy can be used to create nuclear bombs or nuclear power. Both uses can be for "bad" or "good" - basically they can be used to do whatever humans want to do with them. Humans polarize with their intentions, with the work they do using their knowledge. Quote:
Information is like throwing spaghetti against a wall. Most of it falls to the ground, some of it sticks. The way i've determined my own beliefs is by throwing spaghetti at myself and seeing what sticks. Quote:
Not every self-service individual desires to conquer the world. Some just want to conquer their own personal life. What is power if you can't do whatever you want with it? A highly polarized person will achieve his desires whatever they may be. I use Jesus and Genghis Khan as examples because I'm very very familiar with their lives and so i'm very comfortable speaking about their behaviours, intentions, motivations, and polarity. I'm less familiar with other examples like Rasputin and Buddha, so I tend not to talk as much about them. If we were all meant to be carbon copies of famous people, life would be pretty boring wouldn't it? IMO there have been millions of people throughout history who reached graduation range, and millions today who are within the graduation range. The graduation range is what determines where people will go when Earth moves into the next density. No path is worse or better than any other, and I stress that there is no reason to feel anxious about any of this. The densities are as follow: 1st density: Raw matter. Earth. Rocks, soil, chemicals, light, energy. 2nd density: Life. Plants, animals, living things. 3rd density: Social life. Societies of conscious beings. Discovering the power of consciousness - the power of love. 4th density: Love/Understanding. Having discovered the power of love/consciousness, perfecting it's usage. 5th density: Wisdom. 6th density: Unity. Unifying new-found wisdom with old passion. The love that was cultivated in 4th density is unified with the wisdom gained in 5th density. Negative polarity accepts unity and melds with positive polarity. 7th density: Moving towards timelessness, foreverness, and all-beingness. 8th density/1st density: The first density of the next octave. The octaves go on for forever. The densities have symmetry with the chakras, and this pattern is ubiquitous throughout creation. 1st chakra/Red: Survival and basic instinct 2nd chakra/Orange: Individuality and relations to other individuals 3rd chakra/Yellow: Relations with large groups of people. Societies. 4th chakra/Green: Universal love 5th chakra/Blue: Communication, radiation 6th chakra/Indigo: Magical power, intentions 7th chakra/Violet: Divinity | ||||

Most of us aren't in the graduation ranges, but as far as individual life goes, it's not important to worry about those ranges. If you notice, people start each incarnation between the two graduation ranges. It makes sense from a utilitarian point of view that people mostly serve themselves, since it's easier to know about your own needs than to know about the needs of others. If you're hungry, it's much easier to find food yourself and eat it than it is to wait for someone else to feed you. If there are a million entities in the universe, then theoretically if you want to serve the entire universe equally you be .000001% service to self. But since this doesnt make much sense, especially on earth, since it's a lot easier to feed yourself than for others to feed you, a graduatable service-to-others person is 51% service to othres and 49% service to self. You don't have to be totally selfless to graduate because a bit of selfishness is useful. If you were 100% selfless you might accidentally starve to death or step off a cliff or something. Also while diminishing returns is pretty accurate, on the higher ends of the scales each small percentage becomes worth more in the amount of power it gets you. The axis is actually on an exponential curve. The further you go to each side, the stronger the spiritual gravity is to pull you back towards the other side. It's like the pendulum of a grandfather clock. It swings back and forth. When the pendulum is at the extreme edge of a swing, it has the most power to do useful work. When it's in the middle, it can't really do anything except sit there. Consciousness is like that. | |

For me the key is that by giving up control, you aren't really giving up control. I used to think that by serving others I'm making myself a slave to them. It's an orange chakra issue - fear of being possessed. Slowly I figured out that I can serve people on my terms without worrying about outcomes and stuff like that. I am free without doing anything - freedom is a natural thing. And if I freely choose to serve, who can say I'm a slave? Likewise on the other side I've had lots of fear of others infringing on my space. Fear of people harming me, fear of being vulnerable. Eventually I realised that this fear is baseless because I'm protected. Nothing can happen to me unless I allow it to - that fact is provided by the creator. Only my own willful ignorance can harm me, and if I turn my attention to the creator the ignorance melts away. That is the natural state of being. The solution to Fear is Faith. Faith in yourself, faith in the universe, faith in others. Faith that you are provided for. I fear harming others, this is a more recent fear than the other ones. As my compassion grows the worst thing that could happen to me is causing harm to someone. To solve this fear I refind my faith in the universe, faith that my path is right, faith in my own abilities that i've cultivated. The fear of hurting someone can be just as terrifying as the fear of being hurt. I used to walk through life planning every step. I sought to illuminate the path so that I could walk it - I wanted to predict everything before it happened. This was a form of fear for me. Eventually I realised to step onto the path without any light except my own faith in divinity and faith that all is as it should be. The only light that's needed is the light of the creator. His lantern is never turned off, though we sometimes shut our eyes. Old habits die hard but I'm making progress | |

Yossarian. You have a very negative attitude towards Darkworkers. Methinks you have a very basic understand of them. If not a totally incorrect one. You talk of fath as a solution. Faith is a deivce of self-delusion, a simple trick done with words and emotions founded on anything that makes you forget the truth. Faith in tomorrow is unfounded. Faith in the NOW. Is founded. It is true. The only truth is you are here now. Fear cannot be beaten by faith. Fear can be beaten by logic, thinking, and TRUTH. "The only light that's needed is the light of the creator. His lantern is never turned off, though we sometimes shut our eyes." So you believe that there is a God that predicts your life for you? Do you think that by sheer faith in your Creator, the wrongs of all our society will be righted. On yours, and everyone elses good faith. Look at Christians, or any religion for that matter. Faith gets you know where but backwards. To allow faith in tomorrow is to allow death. To allow faith in ones self to to invite failure. To KNOW Tomorrow, brings life, To KNOW yourself brings success. Last edited by Akashic_Librarian; 04-03-2007 at 07:07 PM. |

So that kind of...didn't relate to what I said at all really. I too believe we are all Gods in our own repsective rights. But I also believe that you seem to look less than fondly down on Darkworkers, why is this? |

Just as there is nothing to fear but the thought of fear itself, there is nothing that is evil but the thought of evil itself. Evil is just a viewpoint we can jump in and out of, a perspective we can have of anything, anytime, anywhere. So what then is evil? Whatever you say is. |

Hey Yossarian, I think I see where you are coming from more now. So, you seem to be into this kind of thing, with aura colors and stuff. How does this realte to the socalled "indigo children" phenomenon? Are they born darkworkers? That sounds very bizzare. If course there wasa website of a self proclaimed indigo adult, and she had a background in "Rosicrucianism" So that might be a link. Just like with the channelling stuff, I am about 50 percent skeptical and 50% open to this indigo stuff. I would be curious to hear your take on it. I would also be interested to know what color my aura is. As far as my Chakras go, my thoat and third eye chakras are the most open and active or whatever the appropriate term is. My Aunt who does Reiki tested them. |

Well, I just browsed the site and I have to say, I am wicked creeped out about this "I am Ra" entity. It makes my skin crawl. That is my honest reaction. This is not my skepticism talking. This is my reactionto the energy I pick up from it. The thing is, will find critiques of Channeled material from Skeptics that are basically, materialists and scoff at anything that seems metaphysical. You will also often see critiques from Born again, Fundamentalist Christians. I have a different perspective than either of those. I think its very possible theese channeled entities are real and that they are trying to decieve people in order to capture their soul energy. When you tell a lie, people whe believe the lie, give energy to that lie through their belief. Decieving entities can use this energy for their own ends. From my understanding this is how dark entities progress spiritually, by growing from all the trapped soul energy of all the other entities they have decieved. It sounds like from what you have said, the material presents a version of this. I got this info from reading Micheal Topper. So anyway, I just thought I would share that. That is how I look at a lot of this "lets all come together as one" type stuff. If some powerful dark entity was trying to swallow up a lot of souls, a good way would be to get them all to unite under him. It would be unity in that sense but only in one direction. The thing is |

The number of incarnations available on earth is a function of how many people are having babies. The spirit world has a little system for determining who gets to use up the next incarnation spot made available, and it's based on vibration. The highest vibration people get priority since they are most likely to reach graduation before the harvest. Some people will need to do another 3rd density cycle anyway and so they don't incarnate in those crucial last spots. So basically, due to the seniority-by-vibration incarnational mechanic, more and more people are being born with high vibrations. The other factor is the increased prevalence of wanderers. Wanderers are souls from the 4th, 5th and 6th densities that have decided to incarnate here to offer their services to the planet, in hope of increasing the harvest. They are like any other person really, except a lot of them probably display indigo child properties. Wanderers forget their past when they're born just like anyone else, and must go through the same process as any human. If they don't polarize, they're stuck in 3rd density until they do. When the harvest comes, wanderers who have polarized back to the positive will return to their home density. All wanderers are from the positive densities, since negative wanderers don't really have any reason to go through the forgetting and risk all their progess just to help out some humans. They don't care. Wandering is a very selfless act apparently. I think I can read auras but not over the internet of course. There are guides out there that say they can teach you. I don't really know if i'm even seeing an actual meaningful thing or just some crazy colors based on unrelated phenomenon. Basically i'm skeptical, but open to it as always. I definitely see something I think the Chakra stuff is highly useful for personal development. The main way I use it is as sort of a body feedback mechanism. It's like your body communicates to you the issues you have and through that you can find a way to attack them. Personally it's just something I do alongside meditation and I find it pretty damn therapeutic. | |

For me personally Ra is almost the only channeled stuff that actually feels right. I mean my entire life i've been heavily biased towards selflessness and unity, and almost everything I read I'm skeptical of and find it unconvincing or downright deceitful. This includes the far majority of channeled material i've read. For me, Ra is one of the few that I actually jive with. By your skin crawling, you mean that electrical feeling on the surface of the skin? I wonder if it has something to do with your darkworker intentions (30 day trial right?) colliding with the writing of a positive entity. From a self-service perspective I can't really see why any kind of learning would be detrimental, but I suppose if the Ra Material emanates love that might cause your newfound darkworker-self to shrink away. A 6th density positive entity and 3rd density separation-intentioned entity don't likely mix. From your perspective, you may be exactly right in that Ra is trying to get you to unite and you don't want to unite. That makes sense. If you see unity as slavery then Ra is not exactly good for you | |

well, in Replying to you Yossarian, Most people reading this will not know what the hell I am talking about, but I sense you will, at least, so here goes: If dark entities have their heart chakras shut off, and you need that energy to progress spiritually, how can dark entities progress spiritually? Think about that. Seems like a bit of a cunundrum, doesn't it? They do it by using other's heart energy. They captre this heart energy through deception. So think of a pyramid, with a powerful darkworker on top with a vast number of decieved light workers below him. The dark entity would be impersonating a deity and all its followers would be sending it love. So then it would have all this vast amout of love energy being projected into its consciousness. He would direct all of his followers through deception. All of their good hearted intentions would be turned to evil by the dark entity. The trapped light workers, would accept that their leader is doing the right thing based on "faith" So that is my interpretation of this "harvest." So this may sound ironic coming from an expirimenting dark worker, but really I am probably closer to a burnt out slightly paranoid lightworker, that would rather close his heart chakra then to let it's energy be parasitized. |

But let's just say for the sake of argument that I am evil and that Ra Ra is good and that is why I have an allergic reaction. I still think Ra Ra could be evil, because a little predator is not going to be all happy go lucky around a larger more powerul predator. You, know, like "Oh good an anaconda! Well I am a prdatory frog, we should hit it off great!" Probably though if I am evil, Ra Ra wouldn't be interested in me because I wouldn't be very nutritious. I wouldnt have any heart energy for him to absorb into his system. |

conventional undestanding is basically the opposite of what you said dark entities feed off the fear of others, not the love. Their heart chakra is deactivated because they dont have an outward expression of love. Their love is totally inward. If you have an activated heart chakra you can't help but feel universal love. The way to repel a darkworker is to send love at him. For instance Erin wrote a blog post about "Fighting Supreme Evil" that fits in with conventional beliefs on the topic and my own experience. Erin Pavlina’s Blog » Blog Archive » Fighting Supreme Evil The idea that you fight evil with a sword is mistaken, you fight it by projecting love towards it. That is the way of the positive polarity. Dark beings can't and don't accept the love. They don't feed off it - it repels them. The brighter the expression of love, the more the dark being is attracted to the positive polarity and the more the dark being is likewise repelled due to his preconceived intentions. As far as being evil, remember that people choose what to do. It's totally an individual choice to be either one - so I wouldn't be suprised that while you start intending to follow the negative polarity you start feeling this allergy to love. The dark incite fear in others and through that fear control people. This is basically the explanation behind demonic happenings, nightmares, and all the various horrors people experience at night and on the astral planes. Generally speaking they are visits from dark entities trying to find people to enslave through fear. By giving in to the fear one makes himself a target. The negative polarity relates to everyone with power structures - so a powerful negative entity relates to a weaker negative entity by enslaving him for his own benefit. The weaker negative entity will often be OK with this because the powerful one teaches him in return. It's a mutually agreeable relationship, but one is always the master and one the slave. Conversely, on the positive polarity, entities basically don't believe in power structures and refuse to participate in them. This has always been part of my positive bias - I just have never been able to bring myself to participate in hierarchical power structures in any way - as either master or servant. There is something in me that finds the notion repulsive. Positive polarity instead is based entirely on the privilege and joy to serve, the honor and duty to serve. And this includes serving and loving the negative polarity, as they are an irreplaceable part of the one infinite creation. However, good only serves evil on it's own terms and in it's own way. That is the nature of proper service. There is no concept of loyalty, for instance. Just love, honesty and generosity. Good doesn't do what it is told it does what is in it's nature, in the nature that it has cultivated. This is both the explanation Ra gives and the experience i've had in my own life. When someone asks me a question about material that I think is highly beneficial I feel compelled to do my best to explain it to them so that they might find it useful. But I only serve in my own way on my own terms - I can't serve someone by lying or deceit or by being "loyal" while they do something negative. That kind of behaviour has just never been ok with me, due to what I basically decided was an "innate" positive polarity bias. Of course I could still will myself to be negative if I wanted to, and I've gone down that path before as well unintentionally due to fear. I think Star Wars was right when they said, "Fear is the path to the dark side." If you don't conquer your fears, especially fear of others, you end up moving towards separation consciousness. This doesn't mean the dark side is based on fear, it just means fear is the method of control and can also cause someone to start walking the path. But you won't get far down that path if you dont find a love for yourself - if you're paralyzed in fear you'll just become a tool of some powerful negative entity. Anyway while a negative entity will demand things like loyalty from his "friends," a positive entity demands nothing and seeks only to give. It has never been very hard for me to differentiate between the two in my own mind. I could be totally wrong, like you say, but I doubt it Unity doesn't scare me it enthuses me. Slavery, to me, is the loss of that unity. |

Oh btw I noticed I didn't quite respond to your question. Quote:
A positive entitiy will clear the orange and yellow chakras, activate the heart, and then cultivate a bright expression of compassion and universal love. A negative entity will close off the heart and cultivate a bright and strong expression of the orange and yellow. they do this through dominating* individuals and societies. The more they dominate, the more they progress. That is the source of their power. From yellow, they springboard directly to blue, skipping over the heart. From blue they activate indigo. And so the difference between a positive entity and a negative, in terms of energy, is that the negative has exceptionally bright orange and yellow chakras with a deactivated green chakra. Meanwhile, a positive entitiy has exceptionally bright green and blue chakras. A positive entity radiates love into the world through the throat (blue) while a negative does it through the solar plexus (yellow). For negative entities, blue is less about radiation and more about wisdom. For positive, blue is about wisdom but also about radiating love. A successful negative entity will neccessarily have very powerful orange and yellow centers, since they use these as their power source, so to speak. Whereas positive uses green as their power source. *domination includes coercion, deception, seduction, beguiling, using force, and so on. Basically any method that relates to taking control over people. Service-to-self entities use the whole toolbox, including feigning love and pretending to be positive entities. You are very right to be wary of channeled sources since IMO a lot of them are negative entities in disguise. This is why it's so important to tune every channel and every source to the things that you know to be incorruptible and most important to yourself. If you can answer the question, "What am I willing to die for?" then you have a principle that you can tune sources with. It takes that kind of certainty to ensure a good contact. Does that answer your question at all? | |

I think the dark entities like being loved. For example they could disguise as a diety, like I said, and people will give love and obedience to them, have faith in them, while being decieved. If you can see a dark entity for what it is and love it, I guess that would be somthing different. Which I don't see how that would be likely to happen. Better to just ignore them, IMO. Another thing though is that some entities might be thought forms. Sentient beings though ephemeral. There are some theories that humans have the ability to create these entities. As far as answering my question, I am asking for your opinion. I don't believe anyone really knows the answer to these things. So the answers to my questions would be whatever your opinion/belief is on whatever. You should check out Micheal Topper. He has influenced my thinking on this. |

I'll have to study up on chakras and do some expiriments on my own. I figure my chakras belong to me. They are my property. If I want to have my power chakra and my heart chakra activated at the same time I think I can. I think I can love who I want to love and have as much personal power as I have the ability to develop. I am really questioning this dichotomy between total selfless love and no power vs. Great Power and no love. I am thinking it may be a false dichotomy. |

Serious joking aside, though - FYI, yossarian, what you are writing is helpful, at least to me. It's the first time I have read anything on this website that I could relate directly to specific life experiences and problems I have had that I need help with, that, in fact, are the reason I ended up finding this website at all. | |

You definitely can have all your chakras activated. That will push you towards positive polarity though, since an active heart chakra results in universal love. Only the negative is characterised by a deactivated chakra. positive entities have all the chakras activated, but their yellow and orange will tend to be less bright than yellow/orange negative. IMO you can get what you want. All of the stuff I said I personally view as trends and archtypes and themes. Nothing is set in stone, and every specific configuration is unique. The specific configuration of chakra activation that a person has is basically what determines his uniqueness, and each person has their own specific configuation. The whole polarity trend itself is not axiomatic - it is derived from these energies. Polarity is basically a trend. It's sort of like the relation between the sciences. Biology is based on Chemistry and Chemistry is based on Physics. If we were smart enough, we wouldnt need Biology or Chemistry and we could derive those results directly from Physics. But we use those models because there are certain trends that are repeated over and over and so understanding those trends gives us shortcuts and power. Science as we know it is basically just a bunch of basal particles and 3 forces determining their interactions. 6 types of quarks, electrons, and like 3 other particles account for all the phenomenon we have documented. But we still have chemistry and biology because its too complex for our lizard brains to understand the respiratory system in terms of quarks and electroweak forces. Anyway the entire polarity thing can be likened to biology in that sense, because it's a derived trend which is actually determined by further 1st principles before it, having to do with energy centres. And of course those energy centers are determined as well by deeper principles, and so on. |

In a certain way, we ARE thought forms, and the entire creation is as well. We were created and given free will by some higher consciousness, and he was created by an even higher consciousness, and so on, in the same way that we create trinkets such as computers and shelter and art and music. Our bodies were essentially crafted by the combined influences of the earth and evolution via natural selection, with unspecified input from higher beings so that we might have the faculties neccessary to do the work we incarnated here for. It's all very metaphorical IMO and open ended. I basically think all the creation stories - from evolution to genesis - are telling of the same thing in different words using different metaphors and mechanics. If you start looking for symmetry you find that it is everywhere. | |

When we refer to the word "evil" most people refer to the dark side of human nature.* Psychologically speaking, optimally, as we seek our potential and unfold to our purpose in life, we uncover our Self. The Self is the sum total of who we are, consciously, unconsciously and super/supra-cosciously. This is different than what most people consider as "themselves". Most people refer to the ego as the self. Really, the ego is the tip of the iceberg of who we are. As we pursue our development, we uncover and integrate more of who we are beneath the surface, becoming more centered in the Self rather than ego. It is healthy to pursue the purposes of the Self. This includes whether they are Self-centered, or other-centered. The dark side of this, and what is considered "selfish" in society is when we mistakenly believe flawed ideas and faulty principles that we've learned. For example, if we believe we are bad, and hold that thought beneath the surface, this belief will cause us to act in "bad" ways. This has nothing to do with the self, and who we really are, but instead is about a false belief we were taught and that we continue to hold on to. We might believe others are bad, which again is a false belief and one that might cause us to treat others poorly. By unconsciously acting on these false beliefs, we will create negative experiences for ourselves to learn from. Ideally, if we take responsibility for all of the negative experiences in our lives, we can come to understand the underlying/hidden belief that caused the situation in the first place. By finding this mistaken belief, we can release it, integrating more of our realistic and true Self in it's place. The bottom line remains, it is healthy listening to and prioritizing one's Self-path, whether it is of darkworker, or lightworker, terms that refer to the direction of one's energy. Both paths will entail uncovering and uprooting false beliefs that lead to negative experiences. Both a lightworker or darkworker, by virtue of being human, will have flaws that arise in the process of personal development. It is by accepting these flaws as they surface that we are able to uproot them. It is by denying them, and pretending to be something we are not, that we increase the false beliefs held beneath the surface, that create selfish or hurtful acts. Becoming centered in one's realistic Self, however that is manifest, is always a good thing. *note: I do not refer to "dark" here in the same sense of the term "darkworker" as defined by Steve Pavlina. |
