Why I Became a Light Worker

This month's issue features Cameron Day's follow-up article on why he is no
longer a light worker.
What we call ourselves matters not so much as what our true convictions are.
When the "New Age" bandwagon passed through, a lot of us jumped aboard.
Some saw it as an exciting new avenue to elevate our consciousness. Some gladly
took it to "guru" status and gained financially by it.
Others climbed on board the wagon because they wanted a piece of the action and
saw an easy way to prey upon the good hearts and generosity of others. Who
better than sincere, "open" light workers to mooch off? We can be easy targets,
and we are all so forgiving. But it’s not my intention to be sarcastic.
Some of us, however, became light workers because we sought Truth and found
meaning in the books, the music, the meditations and the ideas. The "vibe" was
right.
Years ago, I succumbed to naive, idealistic visions of the future, which drew me
away from the real, cold world. Just because I became a light worker did not
make all the bad things go away.
"Once a light worker, always a light worker," someone has told me. I suppose if
you truly are a light worker, that is correct. You can't quit or retire from the
consciousness you've embraced.
Most likely we came into this world as light workers, and something (or someone)
came along the road and grabbed our attention so that we would remember who we
are.
For those of you who don't know, I've been writing my memoir,
Stepping Forth. In
fact, it may be out before year's end. Forty-eight years ago, when I was a girl
of 14, there were indications that one day I would become a light worker.
Of course nobody called it that back then. There was one man, a great
humanitarian, who influenced my life and was no doubt the spark that set me on a
path of becoming a light worker. His name was Dr. Tom Dooley. At the age of 12,
I read Tom Dooley’s three books: Deliver Us From Evil, The Edge of Tomorrow, and
The Night They Burned the Mountain. I still have these books, and two others
that came out after his death from cancer in January 1961. Dr. Dooley devoted
his life to helping refugees in Indonesia who were escaping the clutches of the
Communists in China.
During his time in the US Navy, he administered medical care to about half a
million people in Vietnam, and after he left the service, he went back to treat
the people of Laos, using his own resources and a nonprofit he founded, by the
name of Medico.
His story captured my heart. Here was a man who chose service to others over
service to self. His life, his words, his dedication and compassion prompted me
to want to help humanity too. At the time, I loved animals so much and wanted
more than anything to be a veterinarian.
During those difficult, early adolescent years as a teen "with an attitude," I
even fantasized that Dr. Dooley was my real dad ... a father any girl would be
proud to call her own.
Well, it took several years before I finally realized that being a writer would
take precedence over getting a degree in veterinary medicine. But the desire to
do good works and to spread Light and Love stuck with me.
There was plenty of help along the way, too ... spiritual prompters who appeared
at the right moments ... and a few "life events" to work out the karmic knots on
the road to where I am today.
So I'm still a light worker, but I don't make a big thing out of it. You are, or
you aren't, but I like being one because you always seem to have this "inner
knowing" when you come across another light worker. Somehow you always seem to
know that no matter how challenging the world gets, you always have "that vibe"
that says, "Hey, it's cool. Everything's going to come out exactly the way it
was meant to be."
