Answer 1

One must remember without the dark there is no light. Dark dose not= evil. Look at nature, lighting strikes and a Forest goes up in flames some say that's is bad, but in the wake of the fire comes new growth Young trees a cleaning that is much needed. A volcano erupts destroy all around it but in the act of desertion is a rebirth. The ground once bruned is make furtil by the ash. Things grow up stronger and faster. The darkside is just with out light. Evil is a completely different thing from darkness. I have never embraced evil I have the dark. You can come back from both

Answer 2

I get real spiritually high and good for awhile, then come crashing down. I think the reality is that no one can stay totally "good" for long peroids of time without balancing it out. It can last weeks for me to let the dark side work its way through my system. Then I go back "up."
I think ideally someone would not be so extreme, just walk in kind of a gray zone with a few ups and downs.

Answer 3

There's a difference between embracing and acknowledging your dark side. I grew up having to face much of the "dark" side of my family. Two of my brothers are in prison for life--murder. Three of my brothers are dead of alcohol and drug addiction. I played "mother" to my younger siblings because our own mother kind of delegated the role to me. I left a physically and mentally abusive marriage and should have left much sooner. I have rage and dark feelings regarding many things and I have seen that rage bring people to their knees without me laying a finger on them. Do I like it? No. I never let it consume me anymore. Knowing my darkside and what I am capable of has given me a greater peace and recognition of brighter things in my life. The darkside never really "gives" you anything life sustaining except the knowledge that there is light and dark, yin and yang, good and evil. Given the choice, what would you base your life on?

Answer 4

I've learned that ignoring a part of myself is unhealthy. I embrace it and channel it in more positive directions. For example, anger can fuel change. It doesn't have to become violent rage. The dark is that part of you that is unknown and frightening. The only way of dealing with fear is to face it and the only way of dealing with an unknown is to examine it. I would not say it has "consumed" me. Reveling mindlessly in the dark is as pointless and dangerous as pretending the world is all sunshine and butterflies.

Answer 5

I think this is best summed up in the saying, "The fear to face an issue is to believe the worst is true." That is also true of our "dark side". You must occasionally look at your shadow self. You have to get to know it, indulge it a little. Else, how do you know that this is not your true self? I think our shadows will chase us down, like hungry ghosts or forgotten children, if we do not acknowledge them. They are there for a reason. They are perhaps given to us to tame, befriend and transcend. you cannot lock them away and pretend they don't exist. Like it or not, as I've said to another poster; What's there in the dark is there in the light.

Answer 6

I am living in the dark side, not by choice, people are people, they are either inconsiderate and without remorse for their actions, or they have a conscience, there is no changing that. Jeffery Dahmer claimed he had remorse the first time he killed, he claimed it was by accident, and after the first one it became easy. I don't believe this, I think he never had remorse and he enjoyed killing out of perversion, it was his nature. To go against your nature places you in your darkside, and it never feels good to pretend to be something your not, even if you benefited from it somehow. ;-)

Answer 7

you have an excellent type of things equivalent to a fashionable author who has stated having a similar ideas which you do. He reported he channels this potential into his books. i'm a double Libra by way of way of having this sign in my Ascendant and likewise having Moon in Libra. I relate to three of what i've got considered you write in this area. some individuals cope with demons on a on a daily basis foundation. i do no longer % to intentionally reason injury, yet I commonly discover that I experience schadenfreude in circumstances the place somebody has injury my relatives or myself. I additionally relate to what you're saying approximately being underestimated. i'm lady, blonde and small. i've got in no way regarded the area of somebody who could have the profession I easily have, or do the flaws I do. I believe what Jamie reported relating to the complicated classes of gaining awareness of to make alternatives. some alternatives made can eliminate our freedom. an significant ingredient to take under consideration is that being underestimated could be used to great benefit. i understand that in the time of all probability isn't smart to you authentic now, yet by way of the years it is going to. in specific circumstances this is useful to enable human beings think of the malicious program somewhat isn't something greater that a benevolent and enormously merchandise.

Answer 8

I have embraced my dark side. I think that I was born dark but I never really could accept it since I was trying to live up to my mother's expectations. I absolutely love my dark side because it makes others uncomfortable and when I make others uncomfortable it makes me feel powerful and dominant. I never really return from my dark side, it's not like a light switch that you can turn on and off (at least not mine). I love my dark side!

Answer 9

Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” Yoda Star Wars

Yes I have and its scary to come back to the Light Side and see what my other half has done. Takes only someone to really make me angry or upset. Yes i can return from it but slowly the Darkness will compeltely consume you.

Answer 10

There is a lot of truth to the term "Know thyself". When you explore your dark side, you bring it to light. When you bring light to something, it transforms. The only reason a person's dark side is 'dark' is because it is an aspect of self that is denied and constantly pushed down and that makes it negative.

There's a difference between embracing and examining your dark side and GOING to the dark side. Two totally different things.

No one should fear any aspect of themselves, that's where the problem begins.
