I have obviously offended my own policy of silence by publicly stating my true beliefs. Well, this is my right ;) I am stating these things out of a desire to spread knowledge.
If you refer to history, you will find that for thousands of years, a common practice of the world's elite has been to withhold knowledge from the general population. I have found that the main reason for this is so that knowledge can be used against the population. While esoteric, magickal knowledge is readily available to us, society condemns involvement in such things as crazy and freakish, oblivious to the fact that this knowledge is used against them by the government and corporations every day.
Now, the knowledge being withheld is the truth behind politics and the origins of not only our species, but others like us as well. Granted, the truth behind politics isn't terribly hard to figure out. If you follow the first links I gave you on the OpEvolve page, you will find lots of information about the Elite, the NWO, the Illuminati, and various hitherto-unmentioned clandestine government acts, crimes, and um... secret resort holidays? (that would be the Bildebergs)
The point is: everything they do, all the mental manipulation and spiritual subversion, all that stuff is Black magick. It is not dark magick. Black magick is evil, and I would rather it simply be called "evil magick," but it is better known this way, so allow me to make only the one simple clarification.
For a moment I would like to stop and examine what dark magick truly is. Another word for it is "night" magick. All of the things which attract us to being goth and dark and different have a single common thread: they all scare some people in some way.
Black clothes, vampires, harsh or eerie music, tattoos and piercings, heavy make up and deathly pale skin, simple darkness in general: all of these things are disturbing to certain people.
It can be argued that dark clothing is simply a fashion aesthetic, like being preppy, and to leave shallow variables out of the equation.
Ok, but what about the attraction to darkness in general? That isn't skin-deep.
And do some of us also have an aversion to light?
Here is my theory:
For the past thousand years or so, it has been society's bad habit to masculinize the light and feminize the darkness. Within our own psyches, this has been very easy to do. By calling the light male and the darkness female, the whole psyche of the human is completely torn in half.
Allow me to explain.
Within ourselves, light is expressed as the following (Solar) qualities:
ambition, aggression, assertiveness, strength, waking consciousness, decision-making, and rationality.
While these are qualities everyone needs, society dictates that any woman who displays these characteristics is trying to be like a man, or fit into a man's world.
Darkness is expressed as the following (Lunar) qualities:
intuition, introspection, emotion, passion, subconsciousness, dreams, psychic ability, peace, and compassion.
Again, these are traits everyone needs to have, and yet these concepts are relegated to the world of women, and even children and their faerie tales.
The truth is, we can be dark or light, as long as we are good, and being whole (incorporating both the lunar and solar qualities within ourselves) can be expressed in an even more spiritually neutral way.
There are Five Elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit.
We all have the five elements present within ourselves, expressed this way:
Earth (lunar): the physical body
Water (lunar): our emotions
Air (solar): our intellect
Fire (solar): our will
Spirit: our spirit, energy, soul, etc
Therefore, it doesn't really matter what you look like, as long as you know your five elements are being expressed in a balanced way.
But back to why these things attract us...
The lunar, dark qualities are connected to our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is a very dark place. When people say "inner demons" that is where they live.
Apparently, we are not afraid of our inner demons. Many philosophers say this is the key to enlightenment; venturing into one's own subconscious mind to face your demons and discover great power. This is why dark protagonists are so popular in stories, they show us that it is possible to be a dark person, and still be truly good within.
