Our Dark Parts
Our dark parts are the black snakes (fireworks) that when lit emits smoke and spew ash. They are an intumescent substance that swells when it’s exposed to fire and heat. When our incorporeal union faces internal friction it releases a terrible flame. This heat feeds our dark parts and emboldens our demons to grow an anchor themselves into our soul. After getting comfortable they will start seducing us with chaos and begin tempting us with devilish desires. These demons are the enemy of the mind, because as they eat our power, we begin to believe their lies.
Every dark part is a negative vortex, they are black holes that eat the light and drain away our life. They are heavy and all-consuming; and the more we feed them, the hungrier they become.
What are our dark parts?
They are scars of old wounds, but not just any injury. They are formed from the greatest violations and horrors we have endured. Each dark part is a mechanism made by our mind to cope with the hurt it cannot heal. These scars are more than stray impulses, fleeting negative feelings, and irresponsible behavior. They are terribly designed coping mechanisms that ultimately cause us to malfunction. They are deep operational protocols designed to help us navigate the complexities of our humanity, unfortunately these coping mechanisms tend to do the opposite.
How do we influence our dark parts?
It is important to realize that they can never be destroyed, they may only be managed. This is because they are more than emotions. They are programs, demons, and specters born from the horrors of our personal abyss. When we indulge the seduction of their sweet kiss its summons a candy like bliss. Unfortunately like any sugary-sweet it will eventually rot our teeth.
To influence our dark parts we must discover how we wished them into existence, what do they do, and why do we have them? Knowledge alone is not enough to tame this beast. It requires a metamorphosis followed by consistent personal maintenance.
Each metamorphosis is aimed at a specific dark part with the intent of reprogramming our demons. If we do not have a soft spot in our life, our incorporeal union will lean on its ineffective coping mechanisms to weather the storm. This means we will fight two battles, facing a two-front war with another dark part, and its demons. A war of this nature is horrible, but sometimes we have no choice but to change.
