The age old battle between the darkness and the light.

All personal, inter-personal, social and universal wars are fought between those two opposing sides, the darkness and the light.

The darkness represents fear, ignorance, illusion, inhibition, in-activity, boredom, guilt, sorrow, anxiety, depression, hate, violence, seperation and alienation, while the light is all about love, understanding, empathy, creativity, happiness, perfection, unity and oneness.

We come into this world as spiritual beings who are an extension of the light from which all of life springs (God), born in pure perfection and endowed with infinite potential, but as we 'grow up' we absorb a great amount of the dysfuncationality inherit in the 'system' we become part of, and slowly our inner light begins to dim down.

Over time we learn to that God is seperate, love is conditional, happiness is to be pursued and success to be achieved. Being programmed to perform, conform, consume and compete we slowly forget what we already knew before we came into this world, and so we learn about and cling on to the idea of an external God who punishes those who dis-obey, and reward those who submit themselves to this omnipotent authority.The reason for why that is only becomes too apparant if we examine the laws which lie at the foundation of our production and consumption oriented society.

In order for our world to function we do not need individuals who are connected to their inner light, but rather those who can be easily influenced and submit themselves to the external autority of the world they grow up in.

Without that, our political, educational and economic system could not function, and so all social instutitions from our families, churches, schools, businesses to the entertainment industry support this idea that life is a matter of living up to the standards, rules and expectations imposed onto us from an omnipotent source outside of us.

Because of this, most all of us have lost faith in our own powers, while seeking identity, shelter, hope and protection in an external authority, be it the church, government, our place of business, and the culture we grow up in.
