It is time...

[Chester]

Embrace the darkness no less than the light lest the darkness work through you.

[Shezbeth]

How beautifully concise, and far more succinct than I would render! One should not fear, neglect, nor favor their shadow, they would do well to apply equal consideration to all aspects!

However, this type of thinking does not sit well with those who are wont to engage in self-delusion. ^_~

The Darkness and the Light are but two garments in One closet. We have a choice here, a purpose, a power. God, that undefinable order of Being, has no hands on this earth but our own.

Chop those garments in half and apply accordingly.....

“We can't fight darkness with darkness. We have to find compassion, and embrace the darkness inside of us in order to understand it and, ultimately, to transcend it.”

View the darkness and the light, but shine the light into the darkness. Do not fear entering into either. Although they are opposite ends of the "reality" in which we live, they operate differently. You cannot shine darkness into the light. Yet even a little light will dispel the darkness.

Do not fear darkness. You have a guardian angel. Talk with him and learn his name.

Once upon a time there was a man who lived on a remote island with his family.
The island provided absolutely everything that the family needed to survive.

In daylight they would sunbathe together unclothed while fishing in the ocean, and at night the warm light of the fire kept them comfortable.
They had no concept of good or evil, light or darkness, other than the pure enjoyment of the cycle of life.

Their names were written in the stars and in the leaves of trees and the grains of sand.
The waves laughed back and carried them news of distant places.
Sometimes Visitors would arrive, and tell wonderful stories around the fire late at night.
Stories about other worlds and other people with different ways of life.


Then one morning, one of the man's children came running up the beach, saying,
"strange men have come".

The sun beat down on glistening planks, white sails, strong ropes, heavy chains, and big cannons.
Men with colorful plumes, bright uniforms, and gleaming swords disembarked, to greet the family of the native man.
They walked down out of their ship like gods.

They told the man that he was naked, that he should be ashamed of his simplicity.
They told him that his nakedness should be hidden by darkness.
The strangers brought him Shame.


The strangers took possession of the good things on the island.
Food, water, animals, plants, were loaded onto the ship.
In the confusion even a few of the man's children were loaded onto the ship!


The confusion came mostly from the strangers' ideas of how to separate and deal with light and darkness,
with pride and with shame. So much time was lost in the arguing and details that life began to pass by.

The longer people argued, the later grew the hour,
and when the time came for building a fire, the men who had brought the ship informed the islanders that they would set sail.
They told the native man to appreciate the wonderful things they had brought to his island if only briefly.
They told him to be grateful his children would grow up to be more than simple savages.

And when the man sat in the cold sand with his wife and two remaining children,
realizing there was not enough wood or fish left even for a proper evening,
he knew that the true meaning of wealth is not always what we have,
but what we do not have.


The man wept for his lost children, and the next morning the family used the last of their firewood to build a funereal fire.
They mourned the dead and the loss of their material resources, found enough lumber in the jungle to make a raft,
and they found another island even more difficult to reach than the last.

Embrace the darkness no less than the light lest the darkness work through you.

I like this sentence, great, thanks!

It reminds me of polarities, Ying/Yang principle, love/hate, all the other opposites! But, I feel that the negative part of the opposite is not always easy to deal with. IMHO, if I could be able to use the darkness wisely, I would have more power!

Darkness bring eery sensations, don't always feel easy in the still darkness! Our senses play tricks on us since they are usually the detectors of movement, of coming agression, etc., but in the dark, our senses are limited in detecting if there is danger ahead or not!, challenging!

The best to you!

Sorry about this Inocent Warrior but "Sound of silence" is about mind control through silence (brainwaves). You can check the military background of the artist. Don´t know if you are pointing this song becouse of it. I guess not.... and it last 3.33...
