RE: What does it mean to be a light-worker? (@TribeSteemUp Bi-Weekly Question)
I think some people who identify as light-workers might be actively choosing not to pay mind to darkness, not because it will magically make the darkness go away, but rather to lead by example and be that candle in the night shining as bright as they can.
If you’ve ever come into the radius of a very positive person with a bright and glowing presence, attitude, or personality, you might notice that they can lift your mood. When shining that light they can affect whoever is in their immediate radius.
Can one person change the entire world, probably not, yet they can brighten the day of those around them which could lead to a chain reaction of positivity. The positive effect of one person in a good spirit can be just as positive as a negative can negatively affect a person who is in a bad way.
People can generate electricity. We store this energy as a charge and also discharge this energy at one another all the time. Charge someone up with negative energy and they are bound to discharge that negative energy immediately back at you, or perhaps they will stew for a while and wrongfully discharge it at someone else later on that day, or that week.
So if some light-worker folks are able to generate positive energy and discharge it at people in helpful ways it can have an effect, even a butterfly effect. Take the information war, for example, we try to shine some light in the world of information which is similar to what a light-worker does, but I think light-workers are more focused on spirit.
We can’t end the darkness overnight; one post shining a light on a dangerous vaccine is not going to cause the world to stop using vaccines. Yet, with any chance or happenstance, you just may be able to influence the right person to not make a mistake that would ruin their life.
I think it’s the same with the light-workers, take for example someone who is having a very horrible day because someone discharged at them harshly with a really negative spirit and energy for no apparent reason. This could cause the person on the receiving end of that type of encounter to be ready to snap at whoever, and if they did who knows what could happen!?
Now imagine if this negatively charged person crosses paths with a light-worker and the light-worker is able to disarm them with their personality or simple care and concern. I think all of this energy stuff is going on behind the scenes and some folks who identify as light-workers are highly in tune with this work of spirit and heart.
That's not how wrong-doers stop doing wrong, if everyone lets them just keep doing it.
Being positive and uplifting is good to have. People can also "charge" up to release negative energy when they are told things they don't want to hear, which is a truth which is positive.
The information "warrior" shines light be exposing darkness, not ignoring it.
I think the folks who lead by example are being the change they want to see, like the Gandhi quote. If one wants to stop wrongdoers from doing wrong they could become a police officer. Yet, even there you enter into the realm of subjectivity and potentially tampering with the free will of another being. They can do some good at times but many times they are over stepping to the nth degree.
I agree. That could depend a lot on the message, messenger, intent, and whether or not there is a shared perception of truth.
I agree. I was mostly speaking with respect to light-workers. They adopt "workers" instead of "warriors" because it's an entirely different way. Different yet related like apples and oranges are different. Even though they are both different, they are both similar as they reside in the fruit category. I can see both sides and they're not necessarily independent.
I think sometimes an information warrior can be a light-worker and sometimes a light-worker can be an information warrior. We're all primed by nature or our creator with a very deep capacity to be as broad and expansive or as narrow and limited as we please or need to be at any given time. I say why not be both, and summon the appropriate spirit as necessary.
Sometimes you'll see people in need of spirit lifting or love and other times you'll see people in need of crucial information. Like your articles about vaccine dangers for example. Poor kids and their parents are like flies flying towards that blue light. Then zap! that's all she wrote. One small mistake that could have been avoided had only the parent been informed.
