The light and the dark
QUESTION: Masters I am interested in the relationship between light and dark, especially the role of souls that have at one time chosen a dark path. It seems to me that we need dark or negative energy to set the challenges that we face, so it is an important role. Yet do those souls ever naturally move back into the light? Are they invariably stuck until accepting help to move on? How do they evolve? Are any eventually recycled to source? What is the value of their experience? My own personal journey has included choosing deep negativity, so I wonder how such souls can best be helped when they become ready to change away from that. What is the best way to protect myself and others that are vulnerable, when encountering dark entities? ~Dave, UK
ANSWER: The reference to light and dark is used to describe the feeling that most souls experience when they are dealing with the difference between positive and negative energy. This duality, at least the existence of negativity or darkness, occurs only on planet Earth.
You are correct about needing darkness in order to work through the life lessons chosen before coming. All lessons are set up in negativity so the soul may see if it recognizes the desired test and may then decide how to deal with it. The movement from darkness to light is the completion of understanding and learning from the chosen lessons. There is no natural progression, just the soul’s own desire to work toward enlightenment. It is a solo journey; nothing, or no one, is going to come to the rescue.
Since human lessons are heralded by fears and doubts, looking into any such occurrences in your life will help you work through your challenges and enter into positive energy. All souls have total freedom of choice, so the time they spend in negative or positive energy is completely up to them.
Dark, or negative, entities are something different. Choosing to be in negativity affects only the soul making the choice. However, when a soul has vested its entire existence in negativity, it can spread that darkness to anyone with whom it comes in contact if that person is open and not aware of surrounding energy.
To protect yourself from negative people, you have to be aware of the feelings within which you reside. If you find yourself becoming sad, angry, insecure, etc. when with another, you need to call in positive energy to prevent yourself from succumbing to that person’s negativity. Bringing in unconditional love energy from the universe pushes away darkness. As with each person, you have to protect yourself by the choices you make.
