Thoughts From A Dark Worker
Well in my opinion it's just an energy like everything else, light, fire, water, air, earth etc. Humanity's structured and mainstream beliefs is what labels it as a negative and scary thing described in text and media. Indeed someone who is infused with darkness can do the things humans fear like murder and rape but it can also happen with those infused with light. To me those "horrendous" actions are just the animal instinct of any creature when threatened or wanting some pleasure. Energy just functions as a tool for those wanting to achieve what they want and need in the process.
Personal Experience:
- In my personal experiences since I work with darkness; it is strength, protection, freedom, lust, mystery and the unknown. It excites me, cradles me as if I'm its child and could come in different forms, physical and not. It can be visually identifiable, for example: black clouds, mist that excretes out the body, black aura, and plainly anything black.
I've been trying to merge with darkness for years now. I want to be a part of it since it feels like such a completion to me: free, powerful, animistic in ways that just... feel right. I have had dreams where my room has filled up with a black life substance as I would. Call it a fetish or what not but I would say that I'm a nyctophile. Something about being in darkness reacts with my nerves. My body tightens up and sweats as I feel a sense of an energy rush through me, feeling as if darkness is flowing through me.
I also make a tradition on eating anything that is black: black olives for one. And I like to wear all black clothing when I can since it makes me feel as if I'm being in the element.
Biological etc.:
- I see the root of darkness, down to its simplest of form, as just another animal. I'll give an example using black holes. When a planet is near a black hole, it is dragged to its center, we can say it looks to be that it devours the planet like a predator does to its pray. And what is the general observation of when that happens? The predator will grow in size after consumption, much like black holes upon other things.
Deep down to its root it's just an energy that acts and reacts from the environment around it. "True" darkness doesn't have color and light cannot penetrate it. That's why I think of black holes as made of darkness though nothing. Darkness is flexible with many properties that come from it.
I do see a lot of the basic human science of astronomy and chemistry of dark matter helps with understanding darkness. I, personally like to focus on the "biological" part of it.
