Conclusion: The light is scarier than the dark. The path of darkness is out of fear; the path of light is out of love and understanding
It is easier to be blind to one’s spiritual sickness and let it fester and grow than to acknowledge it, fight it, and heal it you see. This and for other reasons I see the light path more difficult and scary than the dark path. The path of darkness is to hide from one’s self and not to break the cycle of fear, abuse, hatred, destruction, and vice we’re all practically in as human beings.
The blind cannot see in darkness. These words have a significant meaning, but they’re very hard to understand.
Yes, the path of light is SCARY, make no mistake. You see EVERYTHING wrong with you and it is hard to HEAL, especially when others around you have the same disease.
Sorta makes sense to me. I follow the path I’m on and welcome its new vistas and effort and how I got there.
It does sound scarey.
I experienced a total altered state of consciousness about this tonight. I saw the negative cycle the people around me were in, which is so prevalent, both offline and online.
Are you going to follow it through in your life?
If I can HOLD ON TO it. I feel less connection with the state of consciousness at this moment. No one I know is like that and sees it. It takes ENERGY just to maintain and to CONNECT with.
But one epiphany I came to, is people attack the fears they have about themselves, whether imagined or real, and attack those traits they see in other people to validate themselves. I see it as a broad vicious cycle many people are engaged in. They once were made to feel a certain way about themselves, to fear something about themselves was true, whether real or imagined, so when they see it in other people, once again whether real or imagined/projection, they attack it and continue the cycle. What do you think?

I also saw that humans are in a vicious cycle of receiving gratification at someone else’s expense, such as belittling someone to validate our own existence. Many of us also DO derive pleasure from hurting someone, whether psychologically or physically. As I saw this, there was another vicious cycle. When we understand and love ourselves and do not want to experience pain, I feel we do not want others to experience it as well and instead live in acceptance and harmony with other human beings that cuts us off from these common earthly pleasures, which at heart are a damaging vicious cycle of humanity. This is difficult to do and is like fighting an addiction or vice.

Fear is normal. You just need to build some confidence , Confidence in yourself . Confidence in other people. So you can keep it in its place.
That the epiphany.
You sound like a man that lives alone alot . can you/do you socialise. Do you isolate?
To split it into two directions belittles the complexity.
Both are hard walks. One end you have the confusion of ignorance, on the other you have the damnation of understanding.
Stay righteous my friend. Everyone has darkness inside them. Anger, gluttony, lust, pride, and the others.
Optimism and Forgiveness is hard work.
Not bad, Daimon, not bad. That’s a good clear stream of consciousness you’re connecting to.
True words. I can relate to my own life.
Very good understanding of something quite difficult. You shed some light on my own recent rants about other people.
