One dark night,
fired with love’s urgent longings
— ah, the sheer grace! —
I went out unseen,
my house being now all stilled.
In darkness, and secure,
by the secret ladder, disguised,
— ah, the sheer grace! —
in darkness and concealment,
my house being now all stilled.
On that glad night,
in secret, for no one saw me,
nor did I look at anything,
with no other light or guide
than the one that burned in my heart.
This guided me
more surely than the light of noon
to where he was awaiting me
— him I knew so well —
there in a place where no one appeared.
O guiding night!
O night more lovely than the dawn!
O night that has united
the Lover with his beloved,
transforming the beloved in her Lover.
– St. John of the Cross
The darkness. Usually this term is associated with sadness, pain, wandering, depression, loss, as well as lack of vision, and when we want to express hope, we say this sentence; tomorrow the sun will shine and we will forget the darkness of yesterday, even in our expression of evil we usually associate darkness with blackness and evil, which made the black color in particular and the darkness in general is a source of bad luck and sadness, while we forget the brightness of the stars in the sky, and without the dark nights we would not be able to see the beauty of these charming stars and planets .
My article this time is not like the previous one, I chose to be different and we dive into it together on a journey to understand the duality of darkness and light. Thomas Dylan once warned us of the darkness, though he knows how important it is when he said:
“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.”
But I went into this beautiful darkness, and I did not rise up against the death of the light.
I allowed myself to plunge into its darkness, I turned off the lights of my brain that were showing me like an angel without sins, I faced myself and there my shadow who appeared as a white beast with gray wings looked into my eyes for a moment and he called me as the headsman calls out to the victim sentenced to death by hanging, and he said: “Since you have dared to confront me, prepare for what your eyes have never seen, your ears have never heard, and which have never crossed your mind. You are facing your version of yourself that you have been trying so hard to escape from for thousands of years of your existence. That is the demonic side that humans have built on since the first disobedience.”
“Do you think, poor girl, that your age is only 27 years old?”
“You are pathetic! You are an eternal curse that dies to incarnate in other lives, and every time you strive to satisfy your mortal earthly desires, and now you think that you are strong and a fighter against darkness! What does a girl like you know about the Grand Master “he meant the darkness?””
“Thanks to the darkness you are here! You are a girl with a limited mind, and now go get rid of what the collective consciousness has stuck in your mind about the duality of darkness and light, then I can humbly discuss with you what darkness and light are, to wipe from your consciousness the dust of fleeting times.”
This dialogue with my shadow led me to reconsider what darkness is and how it is credited with revealing the beautiful things “stars as a model”.
Here I understood that any human being must face the darkness that exists within him, which is not necessarily a bad thing, it is the dark side of our souls that needs to light the candle of knowledge and love in its depth.
There we can learn the limits of our bad deeds, and embrace our dark side which is part of our spiritual evolution process.
By exploring our sinister frontiers, we can find a serum to counteract our poisoned souls by past experiences.
We are in a very sensitive stage where many people feel a change in their psychological and spiritual condition. The whole earth is changing.
We are entering another dimension of our time, and we have begun to hear about many spiritual exercises, such as yoga, meditation, and other practices that raise human awareness and help them embark on this journey, which I call the Greatest Ascension.
There are those who oppose this journey in which humans witness a collective ascent that their bodies are designed. This mysterious entity, do not want people to wake up spiritually, so they design poisonous defense mechanisms that penetrate the human subconscious with the intention of spreading negative thoughts about the state of the world.
(Wars, disasters, viruses, shortages of energy and food resources, and intimidation etc.).
The intent of the aforementioned is to create a constant chronic anxiety that makes people submissive because this is what serves their agendas. Despite all this chaos, no system can last forever. The universe has its own personal plan to fix everything in our existence, because everything that happens, happens for a reason that we may not know today, but we will know later. Everything is encoded in our DNA. We must remember the correct way to reconnect with ourselves. The truth encoded in our DNA that has answers to all our questions, and we will overcome this collective programming that aims to kill us spiritually to subject us to a system whose goal is to rob us of our knowledge of our existence and our existential message for which we came to experience life on planet Earth.
