i know alot of people get off by experiencing this fear high-it's just like watching a great horror movie (why do we do it? because it gives us a rush. but, we can go to any sci-fi forum on the net to do this, so it is not normally inclusive on dc forum, which prefers to focus on positive concepts. we do have a few threads we have allowed fear base here because some people do need to talk about this fear. this gives us an outlet to talk thru our fear and release it, which is important for humans. if you can't verbalize it, then you can't identify it and fix it. it's just the way we are as social creatures. chris

i recall a group of 'goth' teenagers i used to know many years ago; you know, the type dressed in black from head to toe, hair dyed black with maybe some crimson-red highlites, the girls with black eyeliner, black skirts and black leotards and doc marten boots, the guys with long black coats and black painted fingernails.

i had cut my teeth on deep purple, black sabbath, led zeppelin, edgar winter (anyone remember 'frankenstein?) and so was not cut quite from the same cloth, being a little older, it was long, grungy hair, (which i still have, by the way) tight, bell bottom jeans and platform shoes for my age group.

but i was accepted somewhat as a peer by the goths, we sensed a kinship centered around a mutual feeling of alienation, not necessarily from older people but from most others around our age group. i remember being impressed with the sensitivity, artistic abilities, and compassion of many of these kids, and would suspect that many of us were wanderers.

there seemed, generally speaking, a dark fascination with things like the classic horror movie genre, songs with lyrics centered around death, depression and alienation, kind of a pre-occupation with the 'shadow' side of life in general, with this group of kids.

in retrospect, i don't think this was necessarily an unhealthy thing; it seemed they were sensitive to and acutely aware of the sorrows of mankind, anti-war and anti-injustice, and it seemed as though they were in a way grounding themselves to this shadow side of life in a way so as to resonate with it and accept its reality. for those of this group that were lightbearers, this may have been a way to channel love/light into the world at large.

i had a strange fascination with world war two from about grade three up to adulthood. i read dozens of books, hundreds of books on the subject, i used to wear surplus wwii military garb to high school. i have always felt i was a part of the war in a past life, and have had terrible vivid dreams to back that up. i suspect there are many born in the post war boom who were in that war. others would accuse me of being a war-mongerer when i was a kid, although nothing could be further from the truth.

some of the greatest, most intense passion has been aroused in me by music. i love all kinds of music, from dark to light, and the soul-wracking, energetic, cathartic, shuddering experiences of passion i feel from both dark and light. the triumphant joyousness of beethoven's ninth symphony to pink floyd's 'the wall, you name it. i recently discovered a cd by poet tom waits called "alice". it's almost like edgar allen poe has returned to make music! dark, beautiful and surreal, a strange plethora of acoustic instruments totally unplaceable within any existing genre, chasing the darkness of human fear into the light. i can't listen to it without literally sobbing. not joy, or sorrow, just pure waves of strong passion.

after listening to music that moves me so, i feel like i have passed a sizeable amount of love and energy into the world. i am left with a sense of happiness, completeness and energetic relaxation and fulfilled purpose, as though i have furthered my reason for being in the world. it's not understood by me rationally, it just is.

i feel that for some, a compassionate and loving and vigilant embracing of the shadow side of life can release much of the negative energetic conditions in the world that tend to perpetuate misery and sorrow. i can't speak for others in this forum, but i think that in some undefinable way, this is one of my sacred duties here in the latter days of the third density experience.

-let it all melt into one love.
