We all know there is Light & Dark (‘good’ & ‘evil’) in the world. All Human Beings inadvertently make mistakes and can hurt people unintentionally, but we recognise this hurt, make a full and heartfelt apology and amends, and try our best to never make the same mistake again. This is Soul growth.

There are those, however, who hurt with intention to hurt and lack the will, empathy, conscience and remorse to correct the harm they have caused. Religion attempts to deal with these dark energies in a number of ways. In Christianity, for example, they are warned they will end up in Purgatory or Hell, with Islam having similar beliefs. Hinduism and Buddhism believe you will be reborn in lower realms or face karmic retribution in this life.

Justice for those wronged is considered vital in all faiths and it is absolutely necessary for the peace of mind and heart of victims. I personally don’t think there is any such realm as Hell because as a concept it makes no sense, but absolutely agree we need legal justice in this life both to prevent dark energies hurting others and also as justice for their victims. But what of those actions which our court system doesn’t count as crimes but which can still cause immense pain?

I have suffered much injustice in my life at the hands of dark energies and, while on the surface these people look like they have ‘won’ and carried on living happy and successful lives, this is simply not the case.

The thing I’ve noticed about dark energies is that they are all, without exception, restless. They live for drama and have no concept of peace, which they consider dull and boring. They’re the people who always have the latest phone, new car, designer clothing and fly business class (though they would hire a private jet if they could). Lacking contentment and gratitude they’re always looking for the next shiny new thing.

They are all, without exception, angry and one cannot feel joy and anger at the same time. They’re the people who sulk, slam doors, give you the silent treatment and have volatile moods. They lead joy-less lives, with only fleeting and temporary happiness.

They all lie, to themselves as much as other people. You are not living in Light if you physically hurt another person, or reduce them to tears of anguish. One cannot deceive and be truthful, or cheat and be loyal. Yet Dark energies often twist their own thoughts to such an extent that in their mind they have done no wrong. However, they may be able to lie to themselves but they absolutely cannot lie to their Souls and it’s our Soul which keeps the score.

They may be surrounded by friends and family but have no deep, vulnerable or intimate connections. They don’t know how to give real love or receive it and are, in reality, lonely Souls.

Compared to those people who have deeply hurt me, my life appears less ‘successful’. I have no family and only a few close friends. I am not wealthy. My health can be poor. And, yet, I would not trade my life for theirs if you paid me £1million.

My days are peaceful and I live with gratitude and joy. I stand firmly in truth and do my best to treat people well. I live with passion and can count the days on my fingers in the last 40 years that I have expressed anger to another. If I inadvertently hurt someone I make amends. I love deeply and with vulnerability. I like who I am.

So many people in my life who have deeply hurt me, and told me that they want no more to do with me, have come back and tried to re-connect. My Dad, who didn’t even make the effort to see me when he was told I might be dying, tried to reach out after 30 years via a mutual friend. My childhood best friend tried for 3 years to reconnect after screaming at me in a fit of rage that I was a terrible friend and severed our friendship. My Brother, who also abandoned me when I was critically ill. My ex-husband, a coercively controlling abusive narcissist, who wanted to re-establish our relationship 21 years after he put me through a horrendous divorce. A lady who bullied me out of my first Camera Club reached out when she was told she may be dying. If I were so awful that I deserved to be ex-communicated I’m truly baffled as to why any of them would want me back 🤔 I’ve also been unceremoniously dumped by romantic partners because I wasn’t worthy of a relationship, some of whom are now married to other people, yet despite not contacting me directly I know for a fact they still follow my life. My step-family, who abused me terribly both before and after my Mum’s death, stalked me obsessively for well over 2 years. My step-Dad, with whom I’ve had no direct contact for 4 years, turned up on the road leading from my village last month. I do not give my former step-family a second’s thought from one day to the next 🤷🏻‍♀️

None of these Dark energies lead peaceful, joyful, contented, deeply loving lives despite outward appearances to the contrary. Karma isn’t a bolt of lightning, it doesn’t need to be.

As for what happens to Dark energies after death, I have no clue and neither does anyone else. But as I believe our purpose is Soul growth and we re-incarnate in order for our Soul to continue on this path, if we cause pain to another Soul this hinders both their growth and our own and I would imagine in our next life we will have to correct that. I’ve had two near death experiences and have no fear of death. Pure love awaits me. But if I were a Dark energy who makes no amends for the pain I’ve caused, I’d be a lot more fearful of my Soul’s experience of dying.
