While at first, the phrase "Dark Enlightenment" seems to contradict itself, it perfectly describes the path Theistic Satanists or even Left-hand path enthusiasts go through to live a life that encompasses a comprehensive, complex, and expansive range of energy exchanges. Most of the confusion comes from a dualistic approach to understanding the subject of 'light' vs. 'dark' to describe either a positive or negative state of being. I get it; it is easy to understand. The Yin Yang principle further drills down the notion that there needs to be a balance between these two forces. What if these two forces were not only complementary to each other but worked best in an unbalanced state? This blog aims to introduce and clarify the meaning of the Dark Enlightenment based on Hermetic, quantum, and metaphysical principles. I encourage reviewing the literature on Hermetica and Kybalion to refresh your basic understanding.
From a metaphysical perspective, let us consider the true nature of Darkness and Light. We live our lives within the physical or light spectrum. Our senses inform us whether an experience seems accurate or not. Light is the realm of physical manifestation. We use our physical feelings and emotions to determine our overall health and external wellbeing. All major religions and philosophies base themselves within this range of experience, leaving Darkness behind as something to avoid because most societies and cultures use Darkness to describe negative emotions and wellbeing. Ironically, it is the Darkness that supports the entire light experience. But because few can enter and appreciate the work behind the 'veil,' we suppress or avoid immersing ourselves within this incredibly broad, supporting, and nurturing side of the Universe. The human mind will always reject that which it cannot understand.
Theistic Satanism is unique because it embraces the entire range of energy the Universe provides. While other religions remain elusively deceitful and limited in understanding and applicability, we fearlessly embrace both Light and Darkness because our experience matches the Universe's operational reality. It is common knowledge that if we sum up all the galaxies and celestial bodies, we only account for 4% of the known Universe. The remaining 96% of the Universe is composed of unknown dark matter and energy. Dark energy becomes evident indirectly based on its gravitational influence on visible celestial bodies.
The human mind, psyche, and body interconnect within this web of Light and Darkness, though at different ratios. While a fish is limited to living and experiencing life in the water or a bird in the air or ground, even their brains and eyes have specialized cells to detect changes in the Earth's electromagnetic waves to guide their migratory paths. In the Darkness, we find stillness, support, and infinite wisdom. Darkness is the source, support, and seed of creation, while the light is the physical manifestation supported completely and enveloped by Darkness. Proportionally, Darkness far exceeds light in range, power, and nurturing support. Why is this important to understand? Because dark enlightenment is the conscious, deliberate, and thoughtful integration of both forces that aim at expanding true individual power and freedom to grow our physical experience beyond our current limited way.
Beyond metaphysical implications, dark and light energy, matter, and antimatter produce incredible sustainable free energy once embraced and understood without dogmatic influence. From antimatter and antigravity engines, the range of scientific breakthroughs in quantum physics equally transcends our metaphysical connection and alignment with this Universe and other spheres of existence. Therefore, dark enlightenment becomes a fundamental goal for every Theistic Satanist to explore and expand energy that heals, supports, nurtures, and unites us to enjoy and evolve our human experience.
How does dark enlightenment support light work? Both work in unison. However, Darkness serves to bend light and direct it to its natural state of expression. It provides the energy, support, pattern, and vision that light takes and develops into a stable created condition. The reverse takes light into Darkness through compression and release of its power at a later time. The Darkness receives all the information and experience from light to further expand creation, and future growth of consciousness, shared by everyone capable of tapping into this living, breathing energy.
Theistic Satanists work (ideally) within both ranges, leaning towards Darkness because true occult magic is the movement of energy within this incredible energy range. It empowers our creative minds, connects us to elemental power, and impacts our daily lives. Lightworkers work with one hand tied behind their backs because they only work within less than half of the range of energy and possibilities. But how does a Theistic Satanist connect to Darkness in a meaningful way? The easiest way is through daily meditation and visualization; then approach magic and energy from within the Darkness, pulling your intentions into the light-manifested world. At the core, vibrational changes within the Darkness empower intentions and ideas into the physical manifestation of the light world. Both Light and Darkness have a common feature that allows them to communicate and flow. When the density of both Light and Darkness stretch to its extreme limits, both become translucent and transparent, allowing for a zero zone of resistance that allows for energy to flow. It is through this gateway that power flows to bring forth powerful manifestations. Finally, when working with a Deity, be aware that all Satanic Deities understand and work both ranges quite readily. They assist you with moving energy, understanding, expectations, inspirations, directions, and outcomes.
I hope the above explanation helps initiate an internal dialogue to understand and evolve your working knowledge of Darkness as the foundational energy source that nurtures and supports our daily lives. Do not allow dogma to murk your minds! Father Satan eagerly waits to embrace you within Darkness and begin His work within you.
