Earlier I gave a few examples of polarity in an effort to further explain the concept and better understand it myself. I posted the following in response to someone’s rant about darkworking.

I got the lightworker/darkworker thing when I figured out the difference between these 2 statements.

1. Being a lightworker means you only take actions that serve the highest good of all.
2. Being a lightworker means that you take actions that serve the highest good of all only.

Aligned Action
The first statement means that all of your actions serve the highest good of all, but they don’t only serve the highest good of all. They may be of benefit to you. As a lightworker, you are only concerned with the service to all and what you get out of it is a byproduct.

You concentrate on creating, giving, and let the receiving take care of itself. This is what gives the level of clarity. You ask the question, “Is this serving the highest good of all?” If it happens to serve you so be it. As a darkworker you would ask, “Is this serving me?” If it happens to serve others so be it.

An darkworker example is saying whatever it takes to win a presidential race. Yeah, it might help some people out, but the bottom line is, “Am I going to win?” Once you win, you ask, “Is this going to help me stay in power?” If it happens to help people, it’s a by product. You’re not asking, “What can I do to serve the citizens?”

Constipated Flow
With the second statement, “being a ligtworker means that you take actions that serve the highest good of all only”, you are actually blocking the flow of Energy. That’s why it feels so hard. No action taken will only result in energy given or gained. It comes full circle. So trying to take actions that only result in energy given or gained causes internal conflict. In other words, as a lightworker your question is, “Is this action serving the highest good of all?” You don’t need to worry about if its only serving the highest good of all.

Now things get tricky if you are not honest. You can convince yourself of anything. That’s why in order to polarize you must be highly conscious. You’ll feel great in either direction.

As a lightworker, you’ll feel great giving to the highest good of all. If you’re open, your life will hum along nicely and you’ll want for nothing. Once fear is introduced, you’ll start thinking, “but what about me?” That’s when the mind begins to play tricks. As a darkworker, it’s the same. The rush of power and domination is intoxicating. If love seeps in and you get an attack of conscience looking at all the people you may have harmed, then you start rationalizing.

Does this make sense?

Close to the beginning of the life of this site, I introduced the Lens Theory. It starts off with the following assumptions:

1. God is all there is, and is absolute good.
2. You are an expression of God.

It states that the degree to which you express and experience God in the world is based upon your lens. Your lens is the total of experiences, thoughts, and conditioning. But then, it begged the question, “If God is all there is, what creates the lens?”

At this point in most philosophies and theologies, the ego is introduced as the thing responsible for all the gunk that make up your lens. I have a different idea. What if God as the creative force and Energy of life creates the lens?

Now, don’t think of God as the man in the sky God. Think of God as the stuff that life is made of, the Essence of Life. A better word might be Spirit. It is underlying everything and coming into expression as you. It is not just the content, but the Intelligence that is you as well.

What if Spirit creates the thoughts, experiences, and conditioning so that you have the conditions to create the other experiences that you want? Here’s an example.

I recently decided that I wanted to polarize as a “lightworker”. In plain English, that means that I want to live from love, I want to be in service to the highest good of all, and I want to do it exclusively. “Isn’t that what you were doing all along?”, you ask. Not really, I was hanging out on the fence.

Meanwhile, I had a plan for this weekend. My cousin, who is also my best friend came to town. I was planning to canvass with her and spend the whole weekend catching up. On Tuesday, I got hit with the flu. I was down for the count. I’m talking difficulty breathing, aching body, can’t leave the bed – let alone the house. So my plans went all haywire. All I kept asking was how can I be of service to the highest good of all. The answer came clearly, “You have to be healthy first.”

See, I’d been processing the polarization thing. Trying to figure out how it all works. How do you receive if you’re concentrating on giving? How do you give if you’re concentrating on receiving? Where is the balance? I decided to take it on faith and go with the giving flow. It felt more nourishing and in alignment with my personality. I get the answers clear as day with the flu.

You choose a direction for energy flow. Always ask the question consistent with that polarity. The answer will lead you to do what is necessary, even if it seems counterintuitive to the flow that you’ve chosen.

All that drama, just so I could get, at a cellular level, the idea of polarity. The flu answered several other questions and asked even more, but the experience is now a part of my lens.

Spirit is always creating, always expressing as each and every one of us, always present in every moment, and always for the highest good of all.
