hello all, nice for you to bring your dark-wisdom to us liliane!

i just wanted to add a part i like from the law of one:

"ra: the adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions and bonds of other selves.

whether this is done for service to others or for service to self it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. this freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. the magic is recognized; the nature is often not. (b4, 50)"

or to put it another way, when you don't go along with the tribe because you are in touch with the natural law rather than man's law, the tribe wants to cast you out and might call you evil or dark. in fact, they project their dark side on to you and you have to have a thick skin not to take it personally.

i've worn black clothes since i was a teenager. black clothes are just more practical but also they do send a clear message. plus, i look good in black .

hugs,
stacy

love it. thanks. this is exactly what i was thinking. we must free ourselves of the usual taught opnions. we must not continue to filter our thoughts through the pre-determined paradigms.

i always hear people complain about the rain and the overcast days. and i counter their whining with, "i love the rain!" because i do. its cleansing, it energizes me. i dont care if im supposed to not like it. neither should you about the things that bring you solace.
