Questions about "the dark side"

[Major3rd]

First of all, thanks a lot all of you, this was more helpful than you can imagine. Very interesting to hear your stories and opinions.
I've read all replies several times. This is really helping me to move away from the fear. Think I will go back to meditating and as you say try to look inside for answers.

I might post some follow up questions in this thread. One question I have right now is about thought forms. I haven't really understood what it means, so if anyone could give me an eaxplanation I would really apreciate it.
