3 X's sounds naughty LOL

This sounds like the left/right path from various occult practices. I find that self-improvement and helping others go hand in hand.

Matthew 7:3-5
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

They very much do Will I am learning this same scripture you quoted every day that passes.

very wise words indeed, however - in my experience people who preach the wisest things seldom have wisdom in seeing what they preach within themselves.

That is the problem with the world in general... thorough blindedness. So eager to say, not so eager to see, especially about themselves.

From the same site about darkworkers

The Darkworker Path

For a darkworker the elevation of one’s own consciousness is all that matters. Usually this is achieved via the pursuit of greater power and control of one’s life. Darkworkers ultimately want to be the kings and queens of their own universes. If you don’t deeply desire some form of dominance and control over your reality, you aren’t a darkworker.

Since the consciousness of others is viewed as either nonexistent or irrelevant, darkworkers are willing to do things that lower the consciousness of others, acting like energy vampires. They believe it’s possible to create a net gain for themselves at the expense of others.

With respect to the list in 10 Ways to Become More Conscious, a darkworker will often employ the exact opposite strategies in dealing with others if s/he finds it personally advantageous to do so. This includes lying, using fear and intimidation tactics, being cruel, squashing others’ dreams, keeping secrets, and manipulating others. It’s a very competitive mindset. Darkworkers often make the people around them more fearful, more apathetic, and less conscious. Treating others this way isn’t their goal; for darkworkers it’s only a means to an end. Socially it may be important for a darkworker to avoid being caught doing such things, but they don’t suffer serious inner resistance to such a path.

You can often detect the presence of a darkworker by the effect they have on your consciousness. For example, if you work for a company run by darkworkers, you may perceive that going to work at your job actually lowers your consciousness compared to if you just stayed home. Going to work is like entering an awareness-lowering cloud, inviting you to resonate with lower states of consciousness such as fear, greed, apathy, depression, and worry. When you leave work, you feel like you’re coming out of that dark cloud; it’s like you can finally breathe and be yourself again. If you recognize that you’re in such a situation and continue to allow yourself to be vamped because you feel too powerless to do otherwise, then you have first-hand knowledge of how effective darkworking can be. The weaker your independent will becomes, the more you empower the darkworker that’s using you. Think of this as energetic slavery.

So could it be that darkworkers are using IS????? Darkworkers would seem to be those that use negative energy at least in this opinion but this question is one for the individual to make on their own.

Doug,

I think with any path it is always an individuals view of what that path is. I've always considered myself a darkworker but as of recent have been blending my old ways into new ways and adopting some of the lightworkers ways. Yes it is very true that darkworkers want to focus on their inner selves and put an importance on that aspect. I'd even go so far as to consider it a cousin of Satanism. But that is not all it is to being a darkworker. Unfortunately having the word dark in the title automatically gives it a negative tone
I don't know what else to write at this point as my mind is floating off to different areas of concentration

everyone has a choice and neither choice is better then the other choice though both bring various energy back to the choice maker. Here I tend to preach the right of choice and when others decide they know the best choice for anyone else and then attack any that make a choice different then they feel is correct that I feel problems begin. Here for the first time in the history of this site are we seeing those that insist on their way or the highway. There are ways to voice declension and to disagree that bring forth discussions and a learning process. Negative attacks do nothing but stir up emotional energy and for what reason if not what is found in the quote about darkworkers below????? Again it is up to the individuals here to decide what is happening for themselves. Where is all this negative energy coming from. what is the true motive for this creation of negative energy and here I speak of the motive within the motive within the motive. Meaning I find indication of a design hidden under guises. That is just my opinion again look from the beginning of the negative energy as it came into IS. Look at the pattern where it began and with who and how it has moved about and with who it is now carrying it forward. There seem to be individuals who have been brought here for the sole purpose of spewing negative energy is that what IS is about. Oh well excuse me for rambling but if we do not end this negativity then this negativity will eat this board and it will be like many others but that is but a humble opinion.

Doug

Doug,

I know what you are speaking of but it seems to have went off topic. At least in my eyes it did. It must be on topic for you to have written it though. I actually agree with what you said. I am making choices, some of them not so good concerning my emotional state of being. But I am working on that. I am hoping others will see the improvements and possibly use the better more positive energies to make whatever changes they also need to make. I hope that made some sense LOL

To my mind, the emphasis of the darkworker path is on personal liberation. The darkworker path teaches us to accept our thoughts and feelings without judgment, and to embrace ourselves as we are and not as we think we should be. There are definite parallels with the left hand traditions, but I think it might be more accurate to say that darkworkers draw on some of the same philosophical underpinnings as the left hand traditions (i.e., Nietzche's view of morality, Ayn Rand's objectivism, etc.)

there are much energetically a like between the left and right hand ways but I consider myself to be of the right hand and find acceptance of thoughts and feelings with no judgment so I wonder of which hand that may apply. Much love and light to you untoldglory.


Doug

Hey, everything is but experience we have to learn from brought to us by us for reasons we are mostly unaware of. Much love and light to you Steve.

Doug

Love and light to you Doug as well

Here's a simple test. You find yourself thinking "I hate my cousin Sam." The image of Sam dangling over a pit of sharks occurs to your mind, and you find yourself growing giddy at the thought. You start to laugh, and then you stop and think....

a) What's happening to me? This is horrible. I shouldn't be thinking like this. I need to be loving and compassionate.

b) Holy $hit! That's a beautiful thought!

You can look at things in many ways and today thinking of this thread I thought how many who claim allegiance to dark work and such would look at this world today as created and say I wish to continue this creation just as it is. For to these eyes it is dark energy that has thus been the major source of this creation this day but tomorrow will bring a different day. Just thoughts that came to mind.

Doug

I'm not sure I follow. As a darworker, I certainly acknowledge that change is a part of life that the dawn of a new world may very well be upon us. As a pragmatist, I also recognize that if change is coming, I would like to be one of those lucky few who are in a position to steer the world in the direction of their choosing, rather than having change forced upon them by outside influences.
