For a long time, I believed—like many sincere seekers—that my role was to fight darkness, to stand for the light. That the cosmic battle between the two was ancient, noble, and necessary.
But one day, as I repeated that phrase to myself—“This is the ancient fight between light and darkness” will it ever end? —a voice within whispered something unexpected:
"Do not engage in it. If you do, you will only perpetuate it."
It stopped me in my tracks. Something in me knew it was true.
That was the beginning of an inner shift—a moment when I began to see rather than fight.
What I saw was this: the battle between light and darkness is real within duality, but it is not the highest truth. The true path is not to win the war, but to transcend the battlefield entirely.
Light and Darkness: Both Sides of Ego
Later, in deep prayer, I asked the Divine Mother to help me understand more clearly. I asked, “Who are the Satanists, really?”
And her answer came, sharp as lightning yet calm as truth:
"Those who worship the ego. Those who place the ego as their god."
Not those who perform rituals in secret, not those dressed in black robes, but those—anywhere, in any form—who place the ego at the center of their lives. Who make self-importance, pride, power, and desire their god.
This was unsettling… and illuminating. In that moment, the fear I held toward them dissolved— not with resistance, but with understanding.
Because I realized that even the “light” can become egoic when it is claimed, displayed, or wielded with superiority. Many people who claim to fight for light unconsciously feed the very darkness they believe they oppose—by acting from fear, control, pride, or unconscious judgment.
The shadow of the “light warrior” is the belief in their own righteousness.
So I asked myself:What light are the Gnostics truly talking about?
What darkness are they warning us about in the lower dimensions?
And the answer came not as a doctrine, but as a vibration:
The light of Gnosis is not the light of personal power or virtue. It is the radiant purity of consciousness freed from ego.
The darkness is not just ignorance or evil—it is the state of consciousness trapped in ego, bound to identification with form, desire, and illusion.
Ego and Darkness: A False Equivalence?
Many teachings say: Ego is darkness, and must be destroyed. But I began to see something subtler.
Ego is not inherently “evil.” It is a byproduct of separation, a distortion born from forgetting. It mimics light. It imitates truth. But it cannot create—it can only copy, control, and consume.
So to say “ego = darkness” is not wrong, but it is incomplete if it leads to judgment or resistance. Because what we resist, we energize. The more we try to kill the ego from a place of rejection, the more it hides and mutates.
It is only through awareness, compassion, and integration that the ego dissolves.
The darkness we must face is not “out there.” It is within. And not to be feared—but to be observed, so our essence may be freed from it.
What It Means to Rise Above
To transcend the battle is not to become neutral or passive. It is to become lucid—to see the illusion and no longer feed it. To disengage from the polarity of “I am light, they are dark,” and enter the vibration of truth:
“I am consciousness. I am presence. I am returning to Source.”
In this place, we stop reacting and start seeing. We stop fighting and start remembering. We stop trying to conquer darkness and instead withdraw the fuel that keeps it alive.
True spiritual war is not against the dark. It is against identification with illusion.
The kingdom is not won by battle. It is revealed when the veil is lifted.
“We must learn to live from moment to moment. We must perceive and comprehend each thought, feeling, and action. The struggle of opposites ceases when the mind is radically quiet and in profound silence.”
