Darkness or Light?

Does anyone know of any reliable methods to discern whether an individual is aligned with Spiritual Darkness or the Spiritual Light?

Sorry if this seems like an odd question but its something I've been mulling over lately.

I honestly don't think I am Dark, but never had much success with the Light and it's denizens either. Is it possible for someone to be a natural Spiritual Grey? (I know that phrase sounds silly)

Any help or input is very welcome.

Leo Sierra! Oh My Gods! I have missed you! I am so glad to see you post. :devilgrin: I hope you are doing well.

So! On to the topic at hand. Spiritual Darkness or the Spiritual Light . . . my take on it is that us Earth humans are some mixture of both. However, some will have more Spiritual Darkness and others a bit more Spiritual Light.

It comes down to what are you attracted to most? What pulls you like a magnet?

Spiritual Darkness and Spiritual Light . . . both can be beautiful and both can be destructive. Most of us here know that one is not necessarily better than the other.

"Reliable Methods?" . . . which do you think about when others are not influencing you?

Also, you write: "I honestly don't think I am Dark, but never had much success with the Light and it's denizens either." However, this is not a pure duality. Us Earth Humans tend to think there is, but there are so many other spiritual realms out there . . . a full kaleidoscope of color and different types of beings.

There's Fae, Dragons, Mer People, Devas, Centaurs, and so many more. Maybe you align with one or more of them?

All of this takes time in meditation. You could also put it out to the universe to discover who and what you are. I did that and ended up here.

I wish you all the best in your searching and journey! :)devil:

It's good to hear from you too Wynd Runner!

Yes there's a ton of different shade variations out there, I think I get a bit too confused trying to categorize things into easily sorted camps lol

I must try to remember that working with energy is more like interpretive dance and less like learning to read!

I meditate on Companion's energy along with Nature Spirits I sense in the outdoors, but I usually just get grey mist. Not sure if that's a block or not. I had thought maybe that I was more 'grey' energy myself and perhaps that's why I struggle a bit with connections to beings that are very one extreme or the other.

Don't take this as a definitive answer, but rather as a possibility or a point from which you should investigate on your own to see if it's real or not.

But... I've heard multiple times that deities from different pantheons, like the Greek, Mesopotamian, Japanese, etc., which many call "immortals" are deities that originate from Chaos, which would be the "father" of all these beings or the first of them. Similarly, Satan is one of the first demons, and many call him the "father" of demons, although I've read that he has a wife who was truly the first demon, but I suppose she is of the same rank.

Chaos would represent the neutral energy between light and darkness. It’s possible that the different pantheons are, in reality, all "immortals" but from different groups, just like there are different types of demons, but all share a similar essence. You can find this figure in Greek mythology—Chaos is the father of the primordial gods or Titans—or in Mesopotamian mythology, although for some reason, Chaos is somewhat absent or seldom mentioned, with its descendants taking on the prominent roles.

There could also be other types of beings with different essences. As my companion said, it’s also often mentioned that humans have a mixture of several "essences."

Not to mention other types of species whose origins and essences we don't know, like djinn, fairies, elves, etc. There could also be special demons who, for one reason or another, have connections with other types of beings and could be compatible with you. Something else I’ve heard is that Satan, Yahweh, and possibly a supposed Chaos may also have a mix of all essences, since they are creator beings and their origins may be even more mysterious, possibly connected to an "original source." Not to mention that many times we are a balance of various energies, although one may predominate over the others.

But anyway, it’s in your hands to investigate and discover what resonates more with you. Don’t rule out the possibility of finding a demon that could help you discover yourself.

Yes, sometimes I think it is so Earth Human to try to categorize everything. lol

Sometimes it is funny. But, it is also how we define our reality as individuals and as a group.

I love that way of describing it! :devillove:

I have heard of "grey" energy. I don't know if it is a blend of some groups or if it relates directly to a spiritual species or group.

Interesting. I think it would be worth meditating on it more to investigate it, if that is what you want to do.

While going back through my Companion Scrolls, I found the one for my Companion Imp of the Silver Divine. I had assumed at the time I received it that Divine referred to Darkness, but Silver would maybe imply a lighter energy?
I opted for the Aura Binding, so perhaps she is the one behind this feeling. Not sure exactly how to call upon an Imp, they don't use Sigils or Enns. (If anyone reading this has an Imp Companion please do let me know how to call out to them.)

While I don't have an imp companion specifically, I do have several ( ha ) beast companions that don't have sigils or enns, either. What I usually do is use their name to connect with them and simply use that to invite them into my space. Then again, that's usually how I connect with other companions, too.

Hello Leo Sierra, hello :devilclap: so nice to hear from you again….

personally I found it took it a lot of experimentation and just listening to the different aspects and letting them reveal themselves . I was given a good piece of advice to not feel that i had to chose any one thing too quickly and i would share that as important. Sometimes we know right away. But sometimes its more a journey about exploring all the different aspects and how they ultimately flow together and reveal ourselves- more like putting a puzzle together.

it took a very long time for me to make sense of the light/dark aspects within. I had to focus on developing both light/dark aspects which, for me, was super chaotic. And as far as methods, i had to trust myself and what i was naturally drawn to.

Ive followed the lighter aspects within and developed them which led to the darker— then followed a darker path which led me back to the lighter aspect within. Nothing made sense until i developed both…

very best to you!

Yes, like Wraithey said, I will say their names. But, I will also do the best I can to think about what they look like at the same time. That seems to help me. I have a few non-demon companions from S&S, including an imp companion. They are all so interesting and fascinating. :devillove:

I have a number of Imps - i just think on them and they appear. Throughout the day i will think on them or ask them questions. Reading their scroll helps if im having a harder time, or holding their vessel. But, for me anyways, i find my heart opens extremely easy with Imps and that opening assists with communications. It may be different for you but don't be afraid to explore. always assume the connection and that they are willing bc that helps too.
If you know the things that they like then you can make small offerings and just hold them in awareness.
