Lightworkers? or just a Strobe Effect ....

Do people know what a ‘light’ worker really is? Do those that proclaim themselves lightworkers put any real amount of time and effort into developing their own spirituality? I watch these enlightened souls argue stupidities, while they claim to channel messages from their guides. It’s at times like these that I have to question both the validity of their guides and the information they receive. Somebody needs to inform them that sitting by the phone burning incense and candles, surrounded by pretty stones while listening to ethereal music just doesn’t cut it. That’s not what this is about.

Lightworkers … real workers of the light are truly dedicated healers and workers OF the light. They don’t smoke cigarettes. They don’t drink to excess. They honour their body; their temple. They don’t talk about how much money they earn. They talk about the lives they enrich. They talk about how much more of themselves they can give. They care about the homeless. They care about abused children. They care about those less fortunate. They help heal each tragedy they can. They aren’t obsessed about bad ratings or exchanging information on ‘bad’ clients. They don’t ridicule knowledge just because they don’t agree and they don’t try to keep a status quo just because it keeps them in a comfort zone.

Some talk out of both sides of their mouths without realizing it. One claims she has “been doing readings for 20 years” … and receives messages from guides that “are descended from ancient wisdoms and truths” yet has recently claimed that ancient knowledge is nothing more than ‘myth’. Go figure.

I was trying to illustrate a point on a forum recently, for anyone who was looking for valid information on a particulary topic. However, someone disagreed, but rather than trying to keep an open mind, I was recently told by one of these dedicated “lightworkers” during the course of that debate, that “if we were in the real world, I would've simply said: ” … In another show of love and light to a fellow colleague someone else felt the need to show open disdain by saying “I am not going to say it again you pathetic little individual. “ hmmmm … funny. If this is an example of a ‘lightworker’ please … cross me off the list.


BE-ing a worker of light ... is so much more than just a job ... it's a way of life.

Whose Will is it Anyway???

This was originally posted on another blog board but it is no longer active. I think it bears reposting.


I clicked on a link the other day. It was an ad that guaranteed results to ‘Retrieve a Lover’ with ‘Powerful Love Spells.’ Wow. They can do that … hmmmmm …. Curious about this one … I went where it led.

I was taken to yet another page that listed a whole menu of love spells, kits and dolls. Now, how easy could that be? Order your poison, à-la-carte … from the ‘Return Your Lover to You’ spell to the nasty ‘Whammy Spell.’ Isn’t that special? These spells promise everything from rendering the object of your obsession totally defenseless against your less than desirable charms to breaking up any couple at will. Shouldn’t everyone keep at least a couple of these beauties on hand … just in case??

Ads like those are a dime a dozen. And there are many people out there that just eat them up. Make ex-lovers dance like puppets on a string. Control them whenever you wish. Forget about free will … let’s just impose our will on whomever we like, whenever we like. To hell with the consequences. What surprised me most though, about this particular ad, was the site on which it was found. It appeared, at first glance, to look like a reputable one. But appearances are deceiving, I guess.

Today we find a society that is so fixated on immediate self-gratification that no one is willing to wait for anything anymore. We want it … we want it now … who cares who it hurts. We can’t be bothered to fix anything; we’d just as soon dispose of it. As a result … we are diluting the very energies we need to be strengthening.

There are many of us who have abilities to manifest, but true knowledge comes through discipline and understanding. And with knowledge comes great responsibility. Spells should never be sold like supermarket rag mags. Rather students need to learn the proper ways to manifest and work with energy. This takes time, dedication and work.

For every action we take, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is a Newtonian principle readily accepted in physics. It should be equally applied to metaphysics. Just because we CAN make something happen … doesn’t mean we should.

I wonder if the poor fools that are conned into parting with their hard-earned money realize, that anyone really qualified to do the work they wish done, simply would not. Those who understand how to manifest, also know the consequences these actions bring. The wise ones won’t unduly attract unnecessary backlash.

However, for those who do choose to purchase spells of the variety mentioned earlier, there are interesting questions to ponder. Who takes on the karma for these actions? The person placing the request? The one performing the rite? And let’s not forget the recipient of all this attention … do they reap extra benefits down the road for having had their free will interfered with? Just a couple of issues to carefully consider.

People need to be aware that energy, regardless of intent or tradition can be compared to electricity. You cannot see it, not easily, but it exists. It is neither right nor wrong; it simply exists in its raw form, with potential for both good and evil. It is what we do with it that matters, and like electricity we can choose to heal or nurture, or we can bring harm or kill. Those that understand its potential are very careful to work within the laws. Those that care more for power and recognition will flaunt their disregard. Something to remember the next time you’re thinking of turning someone on the way you flick a switch.
