Darkness Implies Light

If “darkness implies light” then it is our dark side we must explore in order to understand how to “shine our own light” brightest — unknown DA

If you have feelings that you detest. If you do things that you are ashamed to talk about. If there is a part of you that you would like to eliminate and if you desire things that you hate to admit to, then, you have a DARK side. We all do and we’re all afraid to face it. I certainly have been…. 

Why? Because our dark side does not understand good intentions, compromise or doing what society “deems righteous”. As such, we’re conditioned to keep our “dark side” oppressed, but it can never stop growing or looking for a way to “express itself”. Ironically, what we don’t realize is that exploring our dark side will allow us to regain control of ourselves, to understand “who we actually are” and to learn to “just be” as our actual self as opposed to what we’re taught we should be. As such, being “oneself” in its actual form is where our “light” exists.

Hence, the way to “our light”, where we’ll shine our brightest, is through our dark side. We all have a dark side that we are afraid to face. But IF we allow ourselves to accept that there is a dark side of our mind that exists, and that it is not going to fade away just because we repress it, then we have a chance to really understand ourself in “totality”. Moreover, it’s important to know, that repression will only make your “dark side” stronger, and with more strength, it will explode amidst situations unrelated as soon as even the minor of “triggers” is touched upon.

Therefore, the solution to facing the dark side of one’s mind is to consciously train it. Acceptance that there are aspects about us that cannot be eliminated, aspects that should be confronted so that we become familiar with in order to understand better. The more we understand our “dark side”, the more we’ll be able to “use it” to our advantage. This “re-channeling” of energy is YOUR POWER.

Hence, I challenge you to search into your mind to illuminate all the “dark aspects” of what you actually are. Expose to yourself what’s hidden within and use that POWER to LIVE YOUR LIFE.
