Embrace the Darkness Within – Dark Energies

Dark Energies Need Not Be Evil

By Diane Wing

Love is great. Love is good. However, it is not the only beneficial vibration in the universe. It serves to raise the vibration of the planet, to procreate, to inspire beautiful art, poetry, and literature. Yet the dark side serves us as well, and we need to embrace it to survive.

The dark side of humanity need not be evil; it is a source of power just as love is. The dark force energies allow us to defend, to avoid negativity, to prevent injustice, and to remove energies that do not serve us on our path. Love can create brightness and the dark forces can create personal power that when embraced, acknowledged, and honed, can show us the way to stand up for what we believe and to come more fully into ourselves.

The shadow side of the self must be recognized and mastered so that we cultivate balanced energies within ourselves. When love is deep and someone attacks a loved one, the dark force surfaces to defend that loved one. Without the dark force, there is no defense, there is no surge of power, and there is motivation to fight against harm and win. Love’s energies have a protective component that can only be [seen] using dark force energy.

Seek to understand both sides

There is no Yin without Yang, no feminine without masculine, no light without the dark. There is a time for expansive joy (Jupiter) and a time for laser focus to serious purpose (Saturn). Learn the energies that exist and understand your connection to each. For we all have all energies within us, it is simply a matter of degree. This is not a departure from Spirit, for Spirit is comprised of both light and dark. There is no separation, only shades of gray.

Find your center. Sometimes it is in the brightest light and sometimes its place is in the deepest darkness of the soul. To descend into this realm affords the opportunity to make shifts not possible when using the light alone. Light burns away certain energies needed to dive into the deep waters as opposed to simply soaring into the sky.

The universe displays a black matrix with spots of light. Even love has its dark side, such as jealousy or hatred, while darkness has its light by way of defending and protecting. Everything is a blend. Nothing is pure. We are a mixture of all energies. This gives us depth and the ability to create in a multitude of ways. Know your boundaries.

Consider the dark energies of suffering, anger, and frustration. Within these dark energies awaits powerful knowledge of the self. These conditions provide the impetus for personal development and self-improvement. They motivate one to action that overcomes these conditions. The darkness in this case serves as a catalyst for growth. The darkness is only detrimental when you choose to stay within it and not strive for the glimmer of light that waits on the other side. Do not grieve for what is gone, do not focus on limitation, and do not dwell in resistance to change. Rather, reinvent, reestablish, overcome, and open to new possibilities. Flow with change, see the potential, and release the blocks that prevent you from moving forward.

Define what love means to you

For some it means possessiveness, control, vulnerability, and loss – all stemming from the vibration of fear. Fear that creates these behaviors in the name of love includes fear of change, fear of the unknown, fear of the future, fear of loss, fear of abandonment, fear of death, fear of failure, fear of losing control, and fear of pain. The darkness that blocks the light of love serves to hinder, repel, and destroy. For those who define love as unconditional acceptance and caring, there is a marked absence of fear and an abundance of self-respect, self-love, and trust. Included in this energy is the ability to remove energies that are not for the highest good. Even in love, it is unhealthy to open yourself and repeatedly accept detrimental energies from another with no hope of improvement.

Now define darkness.

It has a heavier energy there to keep us still and force us to accept responsibility for our actions. By accepting the darkness, we do not expect others to tolerate every decision or behavior we have that may harm them or hold them back. The darkness helps us to reject that which is not appropriate to our well-being and serves to show us where we need development. Be aware of how you use the dark forces and understand that whether the energy derives from love or darkness, both have the power to harm and both have the power to heal.
