It's easy for us to accept and acknowledge the light inside of us. When we fail to do the same with the dark inside of us, our consciousness is presented with these archetypes in an attempt to balance what we already accept about ourselves. You may see this "darkness" in order to recognize it within yourself and accept it.
Regarding the subjective nature of perception, I am very much aware of that! You see, I think you still interpret my use of "dark" as being something separate from me. This is not the case, what I mean with dark is to consciously manipulate, control and cheat people. In other words, inhibit the individual in question from finding Truth and acting upon it.
The hidden purpose of movies for example is to make you like a certain role. This role represents everything the mind behind the role wants you to absorb. The role is not a person, only a symbol for a bunch of ideas.
I mean how often is the character people grow fond of NOT composed of the values, the culture and the systems of the "Machine".
You can apply this to advertisements as well. You always end up buying all sorts of useless s*** without a clue why.
Just put all the tools of control, lies, death and cheating in a neat package and people will buy it.
So the Light and Dark is not about evil. It's about how well the statement works in reality.
An oversimplification of this method could be as follows: I have an attractive woman imply that 1+1=3. The idea has been neatly packed in sexuality and you are more likely to swallow this. Now, one day you will find out that 1+1 is in fact =2. That will make you see Light.
I hope I could get across, feel a bit tired :p
