The opposition of good and evil, and the integration of good and evil, are different things.

These differences are not well understood by the general public, and they are often confused and misinterpreted. The conflict between good and evil is a story of light workers defeating the dark side, while the integration of good and evil is the integration of light and darkness.

These concepts are easier to understand when viewed through a hierarchical lens.

- Low dimension: Conflict between good and evil, conflict between light and darkness, conflict between light workers and the dark side, maintaining is considered good, destruction is considered evil.
- High dimension: Unity of good and evil, integration of light and darkness, resolution of the conflict between light workers and the dark side, creation, maintenance, and destruction are considered equivalent cycles.

Sometimes, (based on a low-dimensional interpretation), it is misinterpreted as "the integration of light and darkness is achieved by light workers defeating the dark side." However, this is a common misunderstanding. I can understand why people might want to interpret it that way, and stories about the conflict between light and darkness are often told. However, people tend to think about things in terms of "light winning." But that is impossible. This is because, in this context, "light" is the mind, and "darkness" is matter. (This worldview is not necessarily universal.) In this perspective, just as matter does not disappear, the mind does not disappear either. Therefore, it is impossible for light to win. Similarly, it is also impossible for darkness to win. Only integration is possible.

In fact, the state is originally integrated, but people misunderstand it as a conflict due to ignorance. It is a problem of human perception.

Therefore, when perception is distorted and there is ignorance, the conflict between good and evil, and the conflict between light and darkness, exist as a low-dimensional interpretation. Consequently, the conflict between the dark side and the light side exists. Light workers value the mind and also emphasize "continuity" and "maintenance."

On the other hand, the dark side may not even exist. What is generally called the dark side is, in fact, anything other than one's own light side. Therefore, as mentioned above, the distortion of perception leads to the belief that "continuity is good," "the mind is good," "destruction is evil," and "material things are evil." This perception of the light side creates the form of what is called the dark side.

Therefore, there are situations where people who call themselves lightworkers call each other "dark side."

Generally, lightside emphasizes "maintenance" and "spirit." On the other hand, others prioritize "authenticity," and therefore, they fundamentally feel "balance." Authenticity means understanding that the apparent reality of the world operates in all aspects of creation, destruction, and maintenance.

On the other hand, there is something "unchangeable" underlying all of that (creation, destruction, and maintenance). In that sense, that "unchangeable" thing can also be said to be "true maintenance," which is correct in that context, but the interpretation of "maintenance" differs among people. What should be a single interpretation is being interpreted conveniently by people.

- Apparent world (things that change) → "Maintenance" in this layer is apparent → (Some) lightworkers emphasize this.
- True world (unchangeable things) → This is the true "maintenance" → Because it underlies the "creation, destruction, and maintenance" of the apparent world, it operates freely and authentically, not bound by the movements of the apparent world.

It is important to recognize that these two worlds exist. In Indian Vedanta, this is discussed, where Brahman, as the unchangeable thing, exists as the "whole" at the root, and it is a full, eternal existence that cannot be destroyed. That is also the essence of "me." Therefore, the essence is absolutely not destroyed.

However, in this apparent world, the reality on Earth, there are creation and destruction, and apparent maintenance is not eternal and eventually goes through a cycle of destruction and creation. That is "authenticity."

By the way, some people who call themselves lightworkers have a strange interpretation, and they claim that "maintaining" that "apparent maintenance" is "good" (in a strange way). For these people, it is difficult to accept an integrated worldview, and they give vague and unsatisfactory explanations such as, "Because the integrated world (layer) includes all of creation, maintenance, and destruction, destruction also occurs. In order to prevent destruction, we need to do this and that..." They make strange interpretations, and fundamentally, it is a simple story of human "attachment," but some organizations claim that they are doing "maintenance" as lightwork to save the world, as if the world is structured that way and they have no choice.

However, for those who are not "lightworkers," it is simply one cycle of creation, maintenance, and destruction. Maintenance eventually leads to destruction, and then to the next cycle of creation. But those who claim to be "lightworkers" cling to this fleeting "maintenance."

And they see "destruction" as "evil" and feel sad.

This seems like a human emotion, and it suggests that they are trapped in an illusionary world. And that is one aspect of those who claim to be doing "lightwork" in this world. (Not all lightworkers are like that.)

While some people do "lightwork" based on the value system of good versus evil, believing that "maintenance is good," there are also groups that aim to integrate good and evil. These are also called "lightworkers," but they are different people.

These are very different ideologies, even though they may seem similar.

However, in many cases, the individual is not even aware of this difference. Therefore, even if you ask them, there may not be a clear answer, and they tend to interpret it as "both are correct" or "the same idea" using spiritual knowledge. But in reality, this difference is very large.

- Ideology based on opposing forces: The battle between light and darkness, peace through the victory of light, the end of conflict when darkness disappears, the fight for maintenance, seeing anything that destroys as evil.
- Ideology based on integration: Stopping the conflict, achieving peace.

Because individuals are often unaware of this difference, there are many people in the spiritual world who are a mixture of these ideas, such as "fighting the battle between light and darkness while preaching integration." They tend to incorporate anything that seems relevant into their own thinking. But in reality, these are different levels. If they preach integration, they should not be fighting, yet there are people who claim to be aiming for integration while fighting the dark side to achieve victory through light. This is logically inconsistent, but they are not aware of it.

It is important to determine which ideology is being used when someone claims to be a "lightworker."

- Good versus evil: Low dimension
- Seeing maintenance as good: Low dimension
- Seeing destruction as evil: Low dimension
- Integration of good and evil: High dimension
- Integration of light and darkness: High dimension
- Seeing creation, maintenance, and destruction as equivalent cycles: High dimension

Whether they aim to defeat the dark side and have light triumph, or whether they consider maintaining the status quo as good and are acting accordingly, or whether they aim for the integration of good and evil, the integration of light and darkness – based on these aspects, one can judge the position of an organization or individual.

In reality, people who aim for integration can also be called lightworkers, but this does not necessarily indicate that they are on the light side. Since both light and darkness are integrated, the word "light" is not suitable for that stage. When someone is called a lightworker, it simply means they are leaning towards one side, either light or darkness. However, when it comes to integration, it includes both light and darkness.

Due to historical circumstances, such integration is sometimes also called lightwork, which causes confusion in the terminology. However, originally, integration is not suitable to be called lightwork. Nevertheless, since there is a history, it seems that using the term "lightwork" is not so problematic. Therefore, "lightwork" has two meanings.

- Activities on the side of light based on the value of "the battle between light and darkness" in a lower dimension.
- Integration of light and darkness in a higher dimension.

In reality, in a higher dimension, even entities that were considered darkness become integrated, and both light and darkness disappear. Therefore, in a higher dimension, there is no mixing of lightworkers and the dark side, or rather, they are in harmony. And in a lower dimension, there is only conflict. Although it exists in both lower and higher dimensions, it takes the form of conflict in a lower dimension and the form of harmony in a higher dimension.

Therefore, when talking about lightworkers, it is important to check which level they are basing their actions on. However, people are often unaware of this themselves, so it is not about whether they "agree" with opinions or questions, nor is it about "quotes from spiritual books" that they often use, but rather about "their actions" and "their true principles and way of thinking" that reveal which level they are rooted in. Indeed, there are people who are in a transitional period between 0 and 100, but basically, they tend to be stable on one side. Even if they talk about integration, they may not truly understand the meaning of those words. Even if they talk a lot about integration, if they are acting to fight the dark side, their "explanation of integration" may simply be a way to persuade people, or a way to hide their true feelings, or they may not understand it very well. It takes life experience to see through these things. No matter how much you say it with words, your true intentions are revealed in your actions. Moreover, people are often unaware of their own principles, so each individual must become aware of themselves. If they are unaware, they may inadvertently be drawn into the conflict axis of "the battle between light and darkness."

And before engaging in actions called "light work," it is important to determine what one seeks, one's role, and what one should do. The most important thing is the mission and role that was decided before birth. However, people learn while they are alive. And sometimes, one may realize that the role at birth was actually based on incorrect values. Therefore, the role at birth is merely a mission and role based on the understanding at that time, and it is originally something that should be modified as one learns. Even if one was born with the purpose of the conflict between light and darkness, and for the victory of light, if one realizes and understands that integration is the true path, humans have the freedom to change their way of life. That is the human free will, which is respected and not hindered, and its choices and actions are accepted by the universe.

By doing so, it seems that we can put an end to the worldview of "the battle between light and darkness" that dominates this world, and make the world move towards integration.
