Hi Joe-   Before I start this reply, lemme say that I happened to reread the first post I did in this thread and was thinking I could relate if it sounded offensive to someone identifying themselves with the White Light perspective.  Everyone has their own value system and sensibilities, I've been picked on for my own values before just like ...

Hi JT-   As I promised before this post is long, but I like the ideas brought up in it.  So, here goes:<JT>Hello everyone,I realize it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted here. This thread brings up an important question for me, in terms of the direction of The Shift. I had assumed that after it is complete, our dimension would be ...

Thanks, Dale.  Since I've spent a lot of time in various social circles that strongly subscribe to this general category I'm calling the Dark Aesthetic (Industrial, Gothic, Satanic/Left Hand Path/Occult, Horror, Martial Arts, ''current attitudes on 'manliness' in general'' etc. - I can't say that without a smile) I've been exposed to more ...

Hi John-   Thanks for your input, and let me say, I love the input you always have to offer on the Kris radio show, and I appreciate your work in helping develop the show and it's format.  I'm going to be at the Kris workshop in Arizona in March and hope to get to meet you there if you are going.<JOHN>Hi ReedFascinating topic... thanks for ...

Howdy Paul -   Thanks for the input, it is always a treat to hear your input, especially with the broad area of various studies you have pursued outside of though often related to Seth's theories.  I think you are absolutely on the mark about typology and stage models.  I did not mean to imply in any way that either Light or Dark was in any way a ...

I thought about this a bit, and I thought it should be equally important to note that to people who subscribe to the aesthetic of purified positivity (which I've been calling the ''White Lighters''), violence, harshness, and negativity (which are often of much interest to those I'm calling the Dark Aesthetes) are equally unpleasant, and their ...

   I began writing this because I was thinking that I would like to write material that appeals to people of my generation who appreciate a dark aesthetic in culture and philosophy and I would like to express to them that they should rethink the need they may feel to attack or mock people identifying with White Light culture.  Many times I have ...

 FROM ELLEN'S CONVERSATION WITH DEFRENE:DEFRENE: To come back to the Charlie guilt feelings. It might benefit you to make a little list. To put these feelings of guilt in a list and then make a little line next to it.ELLEN: What Charlie feels guilty about and what I feel guilty about?DEFRENE: Indeed. And see where they are paralleling and where ...

This is another excerpt from a session I had with Kris where he discussed Satanic and demonic imagery in art specifically (as per my inquiry):37:47Kris:  ...You see, what is often referred to as the ''evil'' in the world, that which is demonic or Satanic or dark, is little more than the collective fear of humankind as it travels into experiences ...

Kwaa'Ji's message is very enlightening, Ellen.  I did not think that a Shadow could be another expression of essence, another focus.  I thought that a Shadow was an aspect of Self. I had a dream the other night, which drew symbols from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark as i had watched the movie that same night.  Any ...
