I had started a new thread on this but realized it fits here fine.
Here is my take on the dead end path. I don't see it as pointless I see it as a unique exploration.
I've never hidden I think I very likely have played the negative part in other lives, over and over and over. That part of me feels extinguished there is no calling. It's obviously been explored to near completion. I understand deeply that the dark give a beautiful gift and I understand with full empathy the inner drives and experiences that would send a being in that direction. If anything I have more empathy for them than those who just bobble about on the surface living the life of obliviousness.
It's gotten me wondering too. Might there not be a unique depth in beings that have explored the darkness that compels them. Not so much a "dead end path" but perhaps a PH.D. In unity via separation. They have seen to exhaustion the full capacity and scope of separation, how better than that to understand Unity?
I don't remember dark lives but when I see dark, even incredible darkness I instinctively look for the light it brings and the beings that perpetrate it, I might want to stop them and give them a good uppercut or two but I really look to commiserate with them where I can, find their many wounds, they are there, that's what drives them deeper and deeper to close and control their heart.
How to appreciate love, be with out it, how to appreciate it deeper, be further from love for longer. How to appreciate unity be separate, how to further appreciate unity? Be as alone as possible for as long as you can stand.
How to empathize with those who have been hurt? Suffer many wounds till you can generalize those wounds. How to never want to hurt another? Hurt everyone and feel all the horrible pain/anguish/know it's your fault/know deeply how regret feels.
besides that I have stated darkness brings light. Another poster(I will go see who) said the brighter the light the deeper the shadow. I love it.
I've had the opposite thought the more consentrated the darkness(black hole) the more room there is that's bright.
