Light exists. Darkness is non-existence, it is the non-existence of light.
There is no planet sending us darkness. There is a planet sending us light. Light has a physical source. Darkness has none. A room "full of darkness" can be transformed in an instant by just flicking a switch and all the darkness in the universe can do nothing about it.
This analogy can be used to show that what we call bad or evil is just the absence of good. For example to be cruel is considered bad. But cruelty is the absence of a moral quality which is kindness.
Cruelty is not caused by an unknown or malefic force it is only the absence of a moral virtue which is kindness.
Satan or the Devil were pedagogical notions used to educate humanity when it was in it's infancy.
In many countries small children are warned not to walk into the darkness because there is a malefic force or person hidden in the darkness. An adult knows that this is not true however this is used to warn the child that he could get hurt if he walks in the darkness without seeing where he goes. A child can not understand a more elaborate or abstract reason. But if we tell the same story to the same child when he is grown up he will certainly laugh at the notion.

Blasphemy against the Spirit
- Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven (Matthew 12:31)
Is the sin of attributing to Satan
- But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man drives out demons only by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons." (Matthew 12:24)
What is the work of the Spirit of God
- But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Matthew 12:28)
We really do not know why Jesus said this sin is unforgivable.
With love in Christ.

...not quite sure what you are asking
God and the Holy Spirit are separate, yet one. The Holy Spirit is sent to dwell within us on a daily basis to guide our way.
