Mika.  People should see this. I thought I was all cried out today until I got to that last quote and picture. |

So here I am. Banned to the "dark thread". I don't actually have anything negative to say as I am feeling pretty confident in Adamland now (oh no, am I allowed to say that here?!) but in lieu of the fact that we are going back to the old Adam when he didn't show his dark side only the glitter, I feel compelled to cross into the realness of this place. In fact I have no idea where I am writing-which is quite appropriate for the depths of dark-post darkness. I HATE censorship. I hope it's only the crabby peons who see my rebellious statements, for I would hate to be banned forever for declaring that I can not suppress either my light or dark side, and although I regret that my dark thoughts sometimes come up when others are in a light place, I feel both feelings are equally relevant. Certainly acknowledging that Adam's road is a injusticely tough one is part of this journey. After all, "we all have both a light and a dark side". Any guesses who said that? Keeping it real.

I like this choice for dark side theme song better. I picked this version because of the "dark" picture of Adam.

Welcome dark-siders. Hide here, confide here...
(Inspired by mica, last page of yesterday's thread.)

Certainly acknowledging that Adam's road is a injusticely tough one is part of this journey. After all, "we all have both a light and a dark side". Any guesses who said that? Keeping it real. Sometimes, when people feel darkness, the way they move through it is by talking things out with others who get it. Lots of people don't have friends or family that are interested in Adam's career, and so this may be the only place they have to "talk." Talking about darkness can help the light return. I worry about separating/segregating dark thoughts from light thoughts, and more importantly, separating/ segregating those who feel dark at given moments from those who feel light. The best reality includes both dark and light. I like the balance, the realness. Sometimes some of my lightest moments have come in the middle of my darkest times. When I have moments of frustration about Adam's numbers or societal challenges, when underneath climbs out to the surface from time to time, I need my light side to remind me that success is about more than numbers or outcomes, and that the successes Adam is already experiencing are pretty amazing in and of themselves. And then I need my dark side to question whether I am tying myself too much to Adam's successes and rewards instead of making sure that I am doing all I can to make my own life feel successful and rewarding. My dark side and my light side keep things in perspective and generally come together to find the most self-awareness and to create the most balanced equilibrium, one based in the best place to live... Reality.  I am, at core, a very hopeful person with a very "pragmatic" overlay, lol. Things don't have to be all white to be light, and there are some pretty significant shades of grey before you hit black. But then, I live in the gray area frequently and comfortably, where black and white mix together fluidly to reflect every changing moment. |

Hallo dark siders!
I would like to discuss the dark side with you, if I may, because it would help with my ongoing spiritual practice.
First a practical question: how does one find the dark side thread on the forum? its not listed in the list of threads by days? I only got here through a link posted on the light side.
Second, an exploratory question or fifty.
Are there some expressions of the dark that create more of a reaction in some people than others?
"Is X is not going to make it" somehow reaction creating in a way that
"I'm feeling bad about Y" is not?

Second, an exploratory question or fifty. Are there some expressions of the dark that create more of a reaction in some people than others? "Is X is not going to make it" somehow reaction creating in a way that "I'm feeling bad about Y" is not? Very good questions, anjalee, and I don't have any answers, including an answer to "where is the dark-side thread". I've only found it like you did---> through a link. However, now I've bookmarked it!! Sometimes someone expresses "X" and hardly anyone responds and the "X" is scrolled past and forgotten. Sometimes "Y" is expressed, and a dozen people will take issue with it, and then a dozen more people will take issue with the first dozen, and then the first dozen will take issue with the second dozen... It's like each thread has its own "mood" depending on the day and who's around to post and respond. It's never been consistent that I can see... Someone might post, "POOR ADAM..." and get jumped on. Or not. Or someone else might feel frustrated and say, "I HATE ALL THIS RADIO BULLSHIT" and they'll get jumped on. Or not. IT'S ALL A MYSTERY TO ME. What is also a mystery is how over 1000 individuals from maybe 30 different countries/cultures can generally get along so damned well with so little angst. Remarkable, really, when you think about it. Anyhow, if this "dark thread" has to be here for people to express frustration or concerns, then so be it. I will definitely use it. Sometimes it's necessary for us to work through the "darkness" in order to see, appreciate, and understand the "lightness" in all its beauty.  |
