Aurora Lights

most people in a dark room with no lights on see pitch black. Not i. I see colors and waves and swirls. And this is not because of a change from a lit room to a dark room because i can stay up for hours and see these lights in my room or any dark room and at times it can get quite intense and as a child these lights would scare me. Now i embrace them. does any one else experience this or have any ideas of what this is or could be?

I would surmise that your dominant, closest-to-the-surface connection to the immediate non-physical dimension is Visual. Mine is Sentient. I FEEL things with a definiteness that can really throw me for a loop sometimes. Through the years I’ve learned to compartmentalize it to a large degree - so I can FUNCTION in ordinary life.

But as a child it was horrible; I always walked around feeling scrunched or attacked by feelings that had no “cause”.

Still, I avoid large crowds - especially ones that are prone to ‘negative’ feelings,like casinos, animal shelters, hospitals. You get the idea.

What kinds of things are you doing to help you get the ‘upper hand’ with these visuals? I imagine there are times they are inconvenient, or distracting …

I will be honest and say that i am afraid of the dark.(currently working on facing this fear) i have to have the tv on to fall asleep. unless there is a person sleeping in the room with me, then i can be more relaxed and enjoy the light show more because i feel more secure with another person in the room. All i can do is close my eyes shut and not open them because these visuals can get very intense and i will eventually have to turn the tv on

There is nothing to fear about the dark, it is cold and silent… i find it relaxing

I knowwwwwwwwwwwww. a few weeks ago i said screw it and sat in a dark room for a few minutes and faced it and i let those energies come around me and embrace me, because how can i be a magickal person and afraid of the dark??? my next step will be spending longer periods of time in pitch black and then eventually an entire night in darkness.

I agree with Necromaster; there’s nothing IN the Dark Itself that would harm you, however, having said that …

Are you afraid of “the dark” in general, or is it a specific location/circumstance, etc. For example, are you afraid of the dark when you’re outside, on open ground … are you afraid of the dark in your bedroom, when you’re preparing for sleep … or is it all-inclusive “I’m afraid of the DARK, regardless of where Iam” …

Answering these questions might give you valuable insight toward your next step to resolvie this fear.

Yea i am afraid of it in my room when it is pitch black and i cannot see my hand in front of me.

I believe you would benefit from dark alchemy

I believe it is either the first exercise of the (disbanded?) O.A.A that has an exercise exactly for calling up the dark forces around you in the room. I am sure E.A. can give you that info.

The self transformation topic on the black magic board would be worth reading

do i google dark alchemy to find out more about that?

i will look at that right now

Dark alchemy is a term used by black magicians, I doubt google will have much on it. I posted my own dark alchemy up to now vaguely on that page.

dark alchemy would be using body fluids for magick?

No, dark alchemy is simply darkening the mind and soul. I hope Koetting comments on this, I know he will be able to explain in much greater detail than I can.

I understand more by that description. i just got back from a very dark magickal breif time in my life and right now i’m balancing myself by bringing it back to basics and connecting with the elemental spirits and doing alot of meditations because i felt myself becoming too dark and i wasnt attracting the right kind of things in my life dwelling only on dark energy because i was constantly “going in” on people. which means i was really quick to psychic attack somebody for any offense they committed. i was even attacking people for my friends. i have to say i became proficient really fast at attacking somebody with my mind. i need to be balanced.

Black magic at the beginning is easy to advance at, you really dont know what to do with the power but using it for revenge makes you feel like a god.

Yes i felt like queen galadriel in lord of the rings when she saw the ring and got carried away with the potential power of the ring

@Dark Willow
I know exactly what you’re talking about. My “dark room” gets so vivid, colorful, and malleable, all I have to do is project a thought or a shape and suddenly I’m watching it in living color, fully animated in front of me. heh I love it! It’s a good way to project astral sigil magick and the likes. I love it :slight_smile:
Perhaps, if you focused on the magick of the situation and started working with it, the fear would eventually take the back-burner?
