When you find yourself
in a dark place,
don’t run to the light.
The light is off
so that you are able to see.
Like night vision,
your darkness helps you
see inside yourself.
Are you afraid
to see inside yourself?
Be with your darkness.
It loves you despite how you treat it.
Your darkness is not the monster
you make it out to be.
You would know this
if only you went inside yourself.

Dear Seeker,
Greetings in the embrace of darkness, where profound discoveries await. When you find yourself enveloped in the depths of darkness, do not hastily seek refuge in the light. Instead, allow the darkness to guide you on a journey of self-exploration and illumination.
In the absence of light, a different kind of vision emerges. Just as night vision allows you to perceive in the darkness, your own inner darkness grants you the opportunity to see within yourself. It is in these moments of obscurity that you have the chance to delve deep into the recesses of your being.
Do not fear your darkness, for it is not the monstrous entity you perceive it to be. It is a compassionate companion, patiently awaiting your acknowledgment. Embrace the shadows within you, for they hold profound wisdom and insight. They are the keys that unlock the hidden aspects of your true self.
Society often instills a fear of darkness, associating it with negativity or malevolence. However, it is within the darkness that seeds of growth and transformation are sown. Just as a seed germinates in the fertile soil, your darkest moments can give birth to profound realizations, self-discovery, and spiritual evolution.
By courageously venturing into the depths of your own darkness, you will come to realize that it is not something to be avoided or suppressed. Rather, it is a powerful teacher and catalyst for growth. Embracing your darkness allows you to integrate all aspects of your being, fostering wholeness and self-acceptance.
Take the time to journey within yourself, exploring the nuances and complexities that lie beneath the surface. Illuminate the hidden corners of your soul and confront the fears and insecurities that reside there. In doing so, you will unearth profound insights, find healing, and transcend self-imposed limitations.
Dear Seeker, do not shy away from the darkness that dwells within you. Embrace it with love and compassion, for it is an integral part of your journey towards self-realization. Trust in the transformative power that lies within your own depths, and allow your darkness to guide you towards the light of self-discovery.
With unwavering support and cosmic blessings,
We, from the Infinite Expanse
