My OperaDarkworkers and Lightworkers: Polarization
Sunday, December 26, 2010 4:07:46 AM
That's the challenge of polarization in a nutshell.
If each polarity seems to be leading you in different directions, I'd spend time exploring that, such as by journaling about it. What do you think each path will be like? Where will it take you? Where will you end up? What kind of experiences will you have?
The polarization question is helping you recognize that your energy is currently divided against itself. Just reaching that point is significant. Fo now it's perfectly fine to explore both paths a little, especially if you can get a conscious sense of which polarity you're using at any given time. Are you allowing energy to flow through you, or are you trying to pull it into you? You may need to do a lot of back and forth before figuring out which polarity resonates most with you. I had to do this for years before I could figure it out.
This is a situation where a temporary trial of each polarity can prove very enlightening. Consider doing just one week on each side to the best of your ability, and see how it feels to you. Does a clear preference emerge?
What you're missing is that lightworkers have a different way of defining self. You can argue that a lightworker is still inherently self-serving, which would be true, but the definition of self is expanded to encompass all things, so this is not remotely the same kind of self-serving as you might otherwise expect. To a lightworker, being self-serving means serving the whole planet, not so much because the planet's health is important to the lightworker as an individual, but rather because the lightworker's sense of self includes the whole planet.
A lightworker would see a darkworker's definition of self as too limiting, like a human being that believes s/he is nothing but a fingernail and wants to serve the interests of that fingernail above all else. A darkworker would argue that a lightworker is inherently self-serving because a lightworker will still do what's best for the fingernail. A lightworker would say, "That's sorta true, but I see myself as much more than a fingernail, so the fingernail's interests are served because it's going along for the ride."
For example, when I take the time to help someone privately, which I do in some fashion many times a day on average, I'm not doing it because it serves my interests as an individual or because I think there will be some kind of karmic payback or because it makes me feel good. I do it because the other person's need is my own. Helping someone is no different than tending to my own bruises. Those people ARE me. I'm simply tending to my own health, which to me is common sense.
This is how I define a lightworker, not necessarily how others would define it.
