Necessities For Successful Completion of Psychological Darkness
1. An open mind, heart, and soul that is not already consumed by Darkness.
2. A willingness to be open within the forum to the questions presented at the end of each lesson (with the exception of four). Answer the given question as best as possible. Part of coming to understand your Psychological Darkness is the strength within the light of the forums.
3. Commitment to check, read, and complete new lessons at least once a week. If you cannot apply one day of the week to this class, a couple hours of your time, and the knowledge that you already hold, then you will never be successful at this class and its reasons.
4. Overall willingness to participate. This means not only checking, reading, completing, what you are supposed to be willing to participate in the class, but also to be willing to participate in the listening to others.
5. A strong yet open sense of will. This is needed to prevent psychological breakdown of students as we learn to grasp our own Psychological Darkness. A person that is strong to the sense of stubbornness, will never take the time to listen so that they may learn. A person with a closed sense of will also lacks the overall competence to listen to the messages of the wind.
These are the things that I can think of right now, granted, this list is subject to change over the course of time, at which point all students will be notified. If you feel like you cannot acquire the things needed to be successful in this class, then get out now. I promise you that by the end of Psychological Darkness1 that all of you will have a deeper, more meaningful, and posses more wisdom to understand the Darkness that is Rising within you! Also, at the end of all the lessons I plan on writing up some type of form to where the students who took the class may rate the value of it to them.
Lesson 1: A Basic Introduction/ Pieces of Your Psychology
There are many concepts that I will explore with these lessons, but that is it, they will only
be concepts. These lessons are so that a person can understand the Psychological Darkness that lies within them. They are meant to teach a person about themselves because a person must first totally understand who, where, and why they belong in the Universe. Part of this process is being able to comprehend the Darkness that is rising up within each of us!
Let me first give my understanding of what our coven title of Darkness Rising means. It simply isnt about the darkness, which is the utter perfection of evil, that you can at times feel rising up inside of you, its not about learning to destroy with darkness, our coven of Darkness Rising is about learning to accept, control, and use that Darkness that rises up and is inside each and everyone of us.
However, we often forget the first part of what we must do as a member of this coven, and that is acceptance to the fact that Darkness is indeed a perfection that is within us all. To truly accept means to truly know yourself in the deepest manner. This includes physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That is what true acceptance is. With true acceptance of oneself, comes the true power that lies behind the coven of Darkness Rising.
End Introduction
Pieces of Your Psychology
To first understand the darker concepts within your mind, first you must know the structure of the human mind. Granted, there are many debatable theories on this idea. I however choose to lean more toward the ideas of Carl Jung. The mind exists essentially in three pieces, The Conscious, The Sub-Conscious, and the Super/Universal Conscious. Keep in mind though, these are just the three most basic pieces and that each also have many other underlying characteristics.
Think of the three of them in this way, like a vast desert. We each draw different conscious sensations while in this desert, these differences are clearly visible on the surface of the sand (hence, the conscious mind is the very surface of your mind). However, just because the surface of the sand is moving in a knowing manner does not mean that a wind cannot quickly change how the surface appears. For no apparent reason it could blow, changing the look of everything. The wind is the Sub-conscious mind, doing things and changing things without our knowing or our understanding. There is one thing though about this vast desert that is truly glorious. Despite the mounds of shifting sands, the varying directions of the wind, and the ever changing landscape, we are all still the same, an endless shifting sea of sand, a Super/Universal Consciousness. So I propose the question for lesson one, there is no right or wrong, only your reflection upon a question.
1. Explain what the conscious, sub-conscious, and the Super/Universal conscious is within your own realm of understanding. Be honest with yourself, because learning will be largely based on how you already understand things and concepts yourself. We all learn differently, each path to knowing oneself is different for all, with that, I end lesson one! (Answer This Question Within The Thread, So that I may see your response as well as ne one else who wishes to see it)
