By dark I mean some of the things she says reinforces separation and illusion..darkness. For instance, she suggests that people in power, religious leaders, and just authority structures or anything perceived as negative in the world is against us..something other than self.

"We may indicate that the crux ansata is a part of the concept complexes of the archetypical mind, the circle indicating the magic of the spirit, the cross indicating that nature of manifestation which may only be valued by the losing. Thus the crux ansata is intended to be seen as an image of the eternal in and through manifestation and beyond manifestation through the sacrifice and transformation of that which is manifest."
"Secondly, we thank you for we know what you sacrifice in order to do that which you as a group wish to do."
