Insights on Divine Darkness

nice. when i pick up a rock or stone, i want to see what is underneath, what is hidden, what gets exposed, but sunlight could possibly destroy some life forms that thrive in the dark. life and death go hand in hand. now there is an image!
~rr~

...thank you for inducing thoughts on this...I now feel that we have hardly considered all so far...

Too much darkness in the form of unconscious unseen shadow,
but that is exactly a result ov neglecting
the beast in us
the raw
wild
exstatic
and also the destructive,
which are all so vitally important.
And these powers,
individually as well as collective,
get really really mean,
if not respected, honoured and given room.

So I will continue writing of Love and Light,
as a call to consciuosness,
not as favouring one half of the circle.

A clear head is needed
for embracing darkness
in the quest for healing,
altogether a necessity,
not an option.

The prices for the attempt to cut out
matter (mater-ia), the solid, the senses,
ma-ya, [and the roaring anger]
always seem too high for me,
and the ugly consequences
are all around us
every day.

Aum Kali Ma
Jai Kali Ma

May the heart lotus
flow over from Bhakti.

Bitter pain to roaring Anger,
roaring Anger to burning Love.

...so much for this post! I couldn't agree more. I've been feeling a connection to Kali for quite some time now.

Perhaps I could also learn a lesson from just letting others BE who they are, realizing that everybody wakes up and comes along in their own time, including me. You can't force people to wake up. You can share information, but you can't force anyone to do anything they're not ready for. It doesn't work that way. Each in their own time, as they say.

But yes, I have read the phrase "love and light" one too many times, so I cracked up when I read that! You're hilarious! What I've noticed is that there are a LOT of New Age people out there who come across as very stuck-up and full of themselves, and who are completely deluded, in my opinion. I once posted as my Facebook status, "Anybody who says, out loud, 'I am nothing but pure love,' or anything to that effect, is a giant douchebag with a raging ego." I actually got a lot of "likes" for that, more than I expected. Lol. I guess others are feeling the same frustration.

You have to understand that the New Age religion comes from the Theosophical Society, which was actually fouded by Luciferian Madame Blavatsky in the late 1800's. Soon before WWII, Lucifer Trust was formed by Alice Baily, and the name was later changed to Lucis Trust. Even to this day, Lucis Trust and the Theosophical Society work closely with the United Nations. So Luciferianism is the official religion of the New World Order. Lucifer IS the light-bearer, the light-bringer, but he is a deceiver. So all of these "love and light" people are under a hypnotic spell. They think that they are pure and perfect and holy, but in reality they are anything but. In reality, they are Satanists who worship the false light.

And they're dangerous because they, in their egos, are always trying to "guide" and "instruct" others, who they see as being sick or aberrent. They feel especially threatened when they see others starting to wake up, and they will do anything to stop the process. "Oh, let me help you with your anger and paranoia problem... stop railing against the forces of darkness, it's not good for you... the only enemy you have is the one within yourself... you have a mental problem, and you need my help... just listen to me, and I can hypnotize you back into a nice sleep...." It's a form spiritual Prozac, and it's part of the control mechanism.

I'm very unusual in the sense that I think chaos is our only hope. The world must fragment and decentralize. The future belongs to the Rainbow Tribes.

By the way, I'm an actual descendent of the Celtic Clan MacLeod. One of our family crests shows a picture of a firey sun, and it says, "I burn but am not consumed."

Thank you, Kali, for your purifying and cleansing fire.
My soul burns but is not consumed.
Within your flames I shall be made new.

And so it is!

I find myself wanting to say both yes and no to this post, but I think its best to say thank you!

Revolution requires that one come full circle, evolution requires that one not repeat the same revolution over and over. Sometimes this requires a little practice. Perhaps more velocity, perhaps a little bump is required, and perhaps a subtle combination of both. To each, their experience is their own so what becomes of it is relative only to them, and each in our own place on what such paths we have chosen for ourselves.

I cannot will not say which is better or worse, I am not here to judge. I only know that it is difficult to make your way in the dark with the light shining in your face. Relative to my own experience having that light in my face for so long, I have no need for it, not yet anyway and I have endured this very unique stress longer than I can remember and empathetically bleeding out, and, by the looks of it will need to continue to do so for a while longer...

It is also difficult to see out of the light threw patches of darkness to other sources of light. One needs to become well adjusted to the darkness to make their way across some unlighted paths. Heightened awareness to be able to sense all the pitfalls and obstructions to be avoided. It isn't until you find some useful in shadows that you need to shine light upon it to examine it closer.

I think to realize the magnitude and scope of the journey itself is what influences this the most. Have you ever had a flashlight go dead in your time of need? Perhaps you let the children play with it and the battery ran down. Whatever the reason matters not, all that matters is that you are not prepared and you can only ever have only yourself to blame for that.

So charge your batteries and keep them charged and do not use it frivolously, but conservatively. Learn the landscape like the back of your hand so that in times of great darkness and despair you will not be completely lost and your light shall shine the brightest it is capable for the longest duration possible when it is revealed, when all others who have failed to learn this lesson shrink from fear. Which is important if you have no idea how long the storm will last or how much further the journey takes one into and threw the shadows.

But be weary, there are those who have already given up. They do not yet see the extent of the journey ahead and not convinced they can make it regardless. So the lights are on all the time, they burn hot and they burn bright, because to them it's better to burn out than to fade away and have no compunction about taking you with them. Even seek to burn your last match to preserve their own speculations about the darkness.

"Seek not abroad, turn back into thyself, for in the inner man dwells the truth..."

I came to love the darkness when I realized if I were to create a story I might want really villainous characters. When I'm trapped under the weight of demons I can see nothing but hatred, but when I'm outside of that mindset I sometimes really love the demonic, it's just so cool. Ultimately I think we're one consciousness exploring all the ways to masturbate, and evil realities are one of those ways.

When Sri Ramakrishna was asked why, if God is good, is there evil in the world, he replied, “To thicken the plot.”

I think the word connotations within dark and light leave little to wonder why people embrace words like "light and love" to project how they wish the world to be. And the words are pretty top-heavy, not that balance ever figures into ideals.

As a topic, I think you could go farther with descriptions on the need for consistent jolts of destructive/transforming energies for the global movement. And these sometimes need happen beyond human control, though war cannot be overlooked. One might also call to mind horrible plagues, raging volcanoes, devastating floods or earthquakes as times when societies have been transformed by natural events. These events were all surrounded by people swimming in seas of uncertainty and in the "dark" the world suddenly changed. In this change people either have to make a lateral move, be diminished or improve.

I think it is the overwhelming uncertainty of what to do now that we can all see each other so much more clearly, all these different ideas and societies growing this mass connection on the Internet, that has caused many people to begin realizing what having this many pieces of the sociological puzzle might mean.

Though I personally imagined several scenarios surrounding this, I'll leave the results to your own line of reasoning. And your own line of reasoning is key, for mine sees that we are in dark days and facing change on a rate our ancestors could never have foreseen. They faced the Black Death and Dark Ages. Today we face the unknown of what happens when you begin to know enough to make a decision, which also means you know all of the different directions this thing could spin off into. It's nice to imagine sometimes that the fiction of futuristic societies could be in our living rooms tomorrow.

And I think it is wise to embrace this brand of dark uncertainty with arms of intention, which we have hardly begun to see in any real way not utterly obliterated by the inefficient management of worldwide resources.

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous. ~ Plato

Good, bad, right, wrong, light, dark -- The definitions of what we will accept is now only on the shoulders of what we want. It faces the question of what will we want when we don't want all this "stuff" anymore and the truth behind labor and economies fail in the oligarchy occurring in the banking systems. It faces what we will teach children about the past and about how they should regard world conditions in mass flux.

The hardest part in this is that more and more cultures are beginning to empathize with each other and at the same time growing harder and harder to convince that this is a good thing. And it seems to be stalled out, which is dimensionally impossible because empathy is still growing.

Yes, embrace the dark. Embrace it in the sense that Kali is to be worshiped and revered in so much as feared. Embrace it like the perfection of talent once one has met the Devil at the crossroads. We are at the crossroads.

The gift of change is in understanding.

If the age we are leaving be known as one controlled by mass fearfulness and uncertainty, of human atrocity and destruction. Then let the next be known for the awakening and corresponding light of knowledge, reason, en"light"enment and empathy, which is sensitive and impressionable.

The technologically enhanced version of a new mass human spiritual renaissance with more balance thrown in is all I could hope to see, but gaining it will require care, respect and empathy -- like reaching out to a suspicious animal we hope to befriend while going through an earthquake.

If you believe in an all existing creator being or GOD then its all God. He's/She's/It's just using different hats on each finger divine finger puppet.

by definitions of a dualistic worldview.
Trapped by theistic beliefs.
If you seen only shadows
presume your back is to the light.
Are the only colors black and white ?
No ?
Then why remain in a world
of two colors?

you will not "know" evil. Evil is a force, a negative energy that absorbs "all"; This is its nature. Like a black hole sucking in the universe evil consumes all.

Do not assume change is evil, in fact change is largely a confrontation with evil.

Squeeze a balloon anywhere and it expands elsewhere.
All ebbs and flows, ebbs and flows,
balance is maintained,
good persists, evil persists till the battle to end all time.
That war rages in the now.
Time is an illusion
All that has existed, all that exists, all that will exist lasted only an instant.

Choose evil and you will face the riders of the storms of chaos, those that ride on the Tiger's back, Spirit Warriors. You do not wish to do battle with them black tongues they will show you no mercy.

Do not call on Evil for it may come.

This I have "seen".

I've heard it said, "God protects fools, drunks and children". I think you'll be OK no matter what decisions you make.

I'm done.

I wrote this on the fb wall for today's Evolver:Invisible Allies event on the 18th:

I just read this from the blog of the Evolver.net site, from Susan Florries 'Insights on Divine Darkness':

'So many humans call for light to get love and protection, well - darkness is just as much love, and we have had too much "light" (yang) power in this dimension. I am just as tired of hearing about "higher" and "lower" self, as if... the lower parts of your body, mind or soul would be less divine than the higher ones.'

So impressive! It's so refreshing to hear someone put their cards on the table and basically say, 'Enough with all this sweetness and light crap, there's way more to awakening, than just being a 'nice person''.

Yes! I hear you!

I've been making kombucha tea for the last months, and it's amazing to me what goodness can grow out of the dark-dark.

- bent my head out of shape, giving rise to some very nasty thoughts
& I'm still not sure what the purpose or point of the original post was.
My earlier comment was to demostrate the falseness of a dualistic limited viewpoint, but I see it went right over everyone's heads.
Ah Well !
