As a result, the definition of a lightworker is the polar opposite. A lightworker is someone who is dedicated to living a life that is illuminated by their soul. They value sincerity and happiness. They have a big life, full of pleasure and love. They aren't in a rivalry with anyone. Lightworkers have usually experienced a spiritual awakening that has inspired them to conduct a heartfelt and purposeful life of service. These folks, who are often sensitive and naturally spiritual and intuitive, are always digging deep into their own self-awareness in order to better understand themselves and their journey.

What's the opposite of a Lightworker?
How might a darkworker attain higher states of consciousness, such as unconditional love and peace?
Lightworker-biased explanations of the planes of awareness were used in the beginning.
The level of unconditional love directed inwardly by a darkworker is love of self.
It's like a supercharged version of arrogance.
It may not appear externally as a cocky attitude, but the person comes to believe that he or she is the most important person on the planet and should act accordingly.
Honoring this viewpoint can lead to a level of serenity that is almost the polar opposite of humility.
While some may refer to the darkworker path as evil, I prefer not to use words like good or evil to describe it.
They're essentially two sides of the same coin.
Recognizing that he or she is God and living a life of service to self, a darkworker finds unconditional love.
A lightworker learns to see God in others and lives a life dedicated to what he or she believes is the greater good.
Both pathways eventually lead to the same destination.
The more distinct they appear, the lower the degree of consciousness.
As you progress through the stages, the barrier between lightworkers and darkworkers blurs, and their activities become increasingly identical.
This is because, once you attain the level of awareness to notice it, self-service and service to others become synonymous.
Consider it this way:
We are all unique cells in a greater body called humanity.
The darkworker route entails dedicating one's life to doing what is best for one's own cell.
The way of a lightworker is to do what is beneficial for the entire body.
You, the individual cell, will eventually discover that these two roads lead to the same spot as you get more aware (i.e. smarter).
Without healthy cells, a healthy organism cannot exist, and vice versa.
These two approaches appear distinct at lower levels of consciousness because the individual cell does not yet have the understanding to determine what is genuinely beneficial for itself or the entire organism.
As a result, it makes a lot of bad decisions and mistakes.
The darkworker cell competes with other cells, stealing resources as needed to maintain its own existence, believing that this is a smart strategy to advance.
However, other cells in the body suffer as a result.
To protect the body's health, there is eventually a reaction against the darkworker cell.
It is penalised for causing bodily harm.
This is referred to as Darkworker Syndrome.
It's what happens when a darkworker isn't awake enough to understand that his or her personal good and the good of all is inextricably interwoven.
Similarly, the newbie lightworker cell makes the noble decision to sacrifice its own well-being for the greater good of the whole body.
The body may benefit at first, but if one lightworker cell persuades too many other cells to do the same, we'll witness far too many pointless sacrifices, and the body will suffer.
Consider your heart giving up its life to preserve your brain.
I refer to this as Lightworker Syndrome.
It's what happens when a lightworker isn't conscious enough to see how the good of all is inextricably related to his or her own good.
It wouldn't matter if a single cell in the body was extraordinarily intelligent, whether it was a lightworker or a darkworker.
It would realize that its personal well-being and the well-being of the entire body are the same thing.
It would be wise enough to make judgments that would benefit both its own long-term well-being and that of the entire body.
This cell would act as a role model for others, and the entire body would prosper if every other cell followed in its footsteps.
Individual humans, on the other hand, aren't particularly bright.
We don't yet have the mental clarity and awareness to make the best decisions in every circumstance.
The information on which we must make decisions is constantly incomplete.
We acquire significant clarity in decision-making as well as drive to act by choosing one option or the other and focusing solely on it.
Consider the road of the darkworker.
Many decisions that might have previously perplexed you become crystal evident when you devote your life to doing what is absolutely, positively best for you as an individual.
Things that were merely shoulds have now become requirements.
You reawaken a previously dormant degree of motivation and ambition.
Are you adhering to the ideal diet for you?
Are you exercising in the most effective way for you?
Do you have a job that is a good fit for you?
Do you have enough money to satisfy all of your desires?
No flimsy excuses from a darkworker when it comes to optimizing all of these.
A lightworker, on the other hand, will continually be asking, “What can I do to improve my service?”
This adds a lot more clarity, and those shoulds turn into musts.
Of course, you must keep your health in check.
Of course, you must surround yourself with people who are supportive of you.
Of course, you should choose a profession that allows you to serve others in a meaningful way.
Again, avoiding the task is not an option.
Lightworkers, on the other hand, have no such excuses.
The intriguing part is that these paths all go to the same location.
When we operate as darkworkers out of pure self-interest, for example, we soon realize that we must account for the health of the entire body.
If the body dies, we die with it, which is counterproductive to our own needs.
When we operate as lightworkers out of a desire to help others, we soon realize that our own health has a significant impact on our ability to serve.
We aren't much good to anyone else if we don't thrive as people.
However, you must recognize that if you do not choose a route and devote your entire life to it, it is quite improbable that you will find happiness.
You'll never be able to tap into your highest levels of motivation, and you'll constantly wonder what may have been.
Instead of action and results, your life will be filled with excuses.
“Why bother?” or “I don't have the energy” will become your motto.
That is your option if you truly want to live out your days as a helpless drone.
However, make sure it's a conscious decision rather than one that has been conditioned into you.
The road of the darkworker and the path of the lightworker are not for everyone.
As I have stated, I believe that less than 1% of people are either lightworkers or darkworkers; the majority are neither since they have not chosen to polarize.
Polarization is a fast-track to personal development.
You get a far deeper awareness of what is genuinely ideal for you as a person on the darkworker path, and you take action to optimize your life to make it better and better.
The lightworker path broadens your vision to consider the good of the entire globe, and it teaches you how to maximize the contribution you bring to the world.
Most people, on the other hand, never grasp this crucial decision and wind up living their life without ever learning to tap into their deepest levels of motivation and passion.
Those who haven't become polarized should strive to live a balanced existence.
However, they are just drawn in by distractions, and their lives reflect this.
They picked occupations that do not fulfill them and do little benefit for the environment.
They live in a haphazard fashion.
They don't have any fire in their eyes.
They have no idea why they've come, so they go through the motions in a trance, like a cartoon figure who has just been hit in the head.
A lightworker or darkworker, on the other hand, is a person who is deeply committed.
They understand why they're here, and they live their lives around it.
It's either complete and total self-service or total and complete service to others.
They're both capable of tackling challenges that would terrify someone who isn't polarized.
These people are vibrant and enthusiastic.
This entire situation “The website “Personal Development for Smart People” is focused squarely at those 1%.
It's not a joke “This is a “for dummies” website.
It is not my responsibility to teach everyone on the planet how to tie their shoes, eat breakfast, or create a CV.
My job is to help those who are meant to be in the top 1% understand what that means and accept the responsibility that comes with it “eing a “clever individual.”
One truly educated and conscious person has far more leverage to make a difference on this planet than a thousand drones, thus I believe my greatest leverage is to assist and encourage people who have the capacity to make significant differences on our planet in the years ahead.
I believe this is the best way for me to be most effective.
While I am biased in favor of lightworkers, I also want to encourage those who want to follow the darkworker path since, as long as they continue to grow in awareness, we will all gain.
What is light work and shadow work?
The processes of flashing light and obtaining it from darkness are so intertwined that it's hard to tell if light work and shadow labor are really distinct. In truth, light and shadow work are the same thing. Darkness, unconsciousness, and hard labour are all connoted by the term “shadow work.”
What is the meaning of a Lightworker?
Simply said, a lightworker is someone who is here to assist in the transformation of darkness into light. They're usually folks who have gone through some kind of adversity and/or trauma in their life and have learned that obstacles aren't meant to break them. Instead, they see adversity as an opportunity for growth and healing, allowing them to share their knowledge and experience with others.
How do I start a shadow job?
Here are several easy methods to get started with shadowing.
- Recognize your own shadow. We are blind to the shadow, just as we are blind to the darkness.
- Don't make the shadow feel bad. Don't shame or criticize your shadow self once you've recognized it.
What is my shadow type?
The'shadow' is the side of your personality that houses all of the aspects of yourself that you don't like to acknowledge. It's an unconscious side at first. We can only recognize our shadow if we make an effort to become self-aware. Although many people believe the shadow is ‘negative,' this is not the case.
What do shadow workers do?
Carl Jung, a psychiatrist and psychologist, pioneered shadow work. It delves into aspects of yourself that you've shunned or suppressed.
When we are told that certain acts are inappropriate as children, we acquire a shadow. Shadow work proponents claim that it can help adults heal generational trauma, reconsider the signals they send their children, manage with emotions in more constructive ways, and feel more whole.
Although shadow work is best done in therapy, you can complete some exercises on your own.
How do I find my shadow self?
- Make a list of five positive attributes that you believe you possess (e.g., compassionate, generous, witty, etc.)
- Examine each positive feature you listed and define its polar opposite (e.g., unfeeling, stingy, dull, etc.)
- In your mind's eye, visualize a person who exhibits these undesirable characteristics.
- This is, roughly, your shadow.
What is shadow energy?
You may recall a brief reference of Deepak and Gotham Chopra's book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes, in last month's blog, Creativity vs Shadow. In the book, Chopra describes shadow as a “power of the unconscious that, if left unattended, can be destructive, dividing, and/or self-sabotaging.” Shadow is difficult to discern since it is unconscious when left to its own devices. Shadow is a zapping energy that lurks in the area of self- or other-inflicted emotional distress. If we examine families, groups, religions, governments, countries, and other bodies of energy, the principle can be applied extensively.
Because it is not intuitive to us, it is often easier to discern someone else's shadow energy. It can be recognized in the behavior of someone who is ‘acting out' or, on the other hand, in the behavior of someone who appears dispassionate. Because shadow is tenacious, pointing out someone's shadow is often met with resistance. Over time, it becomes a coping strategy. It draws vital energy to itself in order to maintain its dominance.
Although they may not identify that element of themselves when they begin therapy, shadow is frequently the issue that brings someone to therapy. They seek treatment because they are in some way hurting and seeking alleviation. Therapy can often bring relief by assisting people in understanding their role in their own suffering and developing new coping skills for their emotions.
Art therapy can be a useful tool for getting in touch with one's shadow. Art therapy brings pictures from the unconscious to the surface, allowing them to be felt and experienced via the senses, as well as verbally analyzed. Painting, drawing, collage, movement, sound, video, performance art, writing, dreams, and digital media, such as dating profiles, pornographic selections, avatars, gaming worlds, and so on, are all examples of creative arts therapy.
In therapy, the therapist confronts shadow in their clients' terrible experiences. The therapist and the client create a secure environment in which shadow can be investigated. Because of the resistance, shadow work is extremely challenging. Examining oneself and facing what has happened in one's life, on the other hand, frees a person to make changes and harness the abundance of energy that had been trapped in shadow.
What is an example of shadow work?
There are a lot of strategies you can use to begin your shadow work adventure in order to completely interact with the broad range of life.
When it comes to shadow work, one of the best things to start with is writing, or journaling. This is a method of writing down all of your thoughts and feelings in order to become aware of your unconscious self. This could include writing in a journal on how you react to different events and people. You'll start to notice if your life has a recurring emotional or behavioral pattern.
You can increase your internal dialogue with yourself in the moment (like having a discussion with yourself, and no, it doesn't mean you're crazy!) after you recognize these patterns. or through meditative practices. Using certain archetypes to describe shadow portions of yourself so you can better comprehend them is an example of this form of shadow work.
For instance, you may be conditioned to overwork yourself at work – you bring difficulties home, don't shut off, work when it's not essential, and so on. What exactly is the polar opposite of that? Allowing yourself to unwind and forget about your concerns. If you can identify the aspect of yourself that you're suppressing (your ability to relax), you'll be able to recognize when you need to slow down in order to avoid burnout or any other type of mental agony or anguish related to your job. In the end, you'll be happier with your employment!
You may discern and select which habits and behaviors no longer serve you via this training, allowing you to go forward with greater knowledge. Instead of constantly reacting to life, you can play its game and adapt to it. You don't have to hide your hurt sentiments or avoid hard situations; they're merely instruments begging to be used for progress. Shadow work enables us to embrace what we previously thought unacceptable, allowing for true change, healing, and transformation.
When doing shadow work, one of the most important things to remember is to be sympathetic with oneself. It's possible that not all of the answers may come right away, so accept all aspects of yourself, dark and bright alike, wherever you are in the process. The alchemical nectar that accompanies any transformation is the transmutation of emotional pain and discomfort with conscious knowledge.
‘Your duty is not to seek love, but to search and find all the walls you have erected inside yourself to prevent it.'
