Sacred Potent

At a time when the Western world, where there is an almost insatiable desire for "enlightenment", which might be more appropriate for the invitation to re-establish a sacred relationship with darkness?

In fact it is in the redefinition of the darkness that is entering a transformative experience powerful that can help us rethink the nature of reality and healing. What can we learn about ourselves and the world powers "other" for delivery to the Beauty and the possibility of a greater vision that gives us the dark?

In all regions of this planet in the first nine months of human gestation is spent in the rich countries, the protection of the darkness of the womb. Here we made the transition from mind to it, and that in the absence of light work their magic minds. It is in the uterus of the lack of light to do the work necessary to prepare the soul for its journey to life on planet Earth.

In the modern world, the newborn was expelled from the uterine environment light fluorescence peaceful hard, and it seems the rest of the life of the person who is engaged in trying to sever ties with the landscape stimulating, sensual.

In our homes even more lit streets, and cities seem to have lost our way, we become blind. We have forgotten benefits of darkness, have forgotten how to find your way back. The darkness, however, is ultimately inevitable and the end of each day, including the soporific seduction of the night reaches us, we are again transported to a different experience gestational another chance to reincarnate.

From a tribal sight, is the darkness is the light of the ancestors. Only in the darkness that some aspects of indigenous technology powerful can be disclosed. Not surprisingly, then, in almost all African village initiation rituals took place after the sun has given way to the deep night. The constant presence of the dark features an umbrella of protection that prevents the intrusion of distraction and illusion. Here the psyche is invited to visit that is not available in the light of day. Is where the eyes learn to see what is hidden by sunlight.

We are often uncomfortable in the modern society trapped in recurring cycles such bad taste and depression. We might ask whether our discomfort comes from the sacred union of compromise and balance between light and darkness. What remedy would be available to the body and soul if you want to turn off the lights and invite the powers of the night in our lives?

In the West, there is great potential for discovering that it can become a reality in the dark. What is familiar and sacred night by an Aboriginal person seems, at best, an irritation to be uncomfortable for modern man. The person knows that the tribe certain types of injuries that can find healing in the night and only in the hands of the ancestors who come to work after the last candle is extinguished.

We would do well to learn how to capture a definition of an elder as a person who is the guardian of the gates of darkness. It's the old who were ultimately disappointed by the brightness of the bright world built and feel the tempting murmur of the darkness, inviting them to come to their homes in the early transition to where they were maintained during his months in the deep intimacy of the ancestral liquid matrix.

This is the soft power of darkness that invites the listener to attend to discern the whispers of the world the spirit. Under the dark truth and distraction there is a distant hum indistinct.

Darkness Visible invites us to rediscover our magical vision. Turn off the light, a step in the beauty of darkness.
