The true nature of nature is light as everything is constructed from it and its emanations spread through out all of existance.
the clash is between the path of least resistance by nature vs the least resistance by the establishment.
your choice - which effects all of us, keep that in mind.
I want to heal ! I want to know the universe in harmony ! I take the long road home and it feels good.
If the world was always in light, it would be a desert. If the world was always in darkness, it would be frozen. Without both these states of appearances there we undoubtedly wouldn't be here. Worshipping one over the other, whether it be light over dark, order over chaos, positivity over negativity etc. is delusional and dangerous.

At each corner of world inside the suburban scrawl street torches reside in its honour taken from where its light once sat on the apex of the Pyramid in Ancient Eygpt.
Yes the new age is the artificial ambience of illumination setting the spotlight on the gurus and followers of light.
But what of the light and its properties can it not be used as easily to harm as it can to heal?
And what name do we give to people who use the light erroneously for their own personnel benefits?
Arnt these the Benefactors for the Illumanti?
Havent you seen a benefactor lately sitting just outside of your vision, stealthed and feeding subliminal whispers of false truths and hope?
Yes? Then you have ascended because the whispers of the light are those of illumination from the Illuminati.

As with the Multiverse as well as with speaking of Human concerns or understandings...GREY seems to be the RULE and seldom is anything so cut and dry as Dark and Light.

And yet BOTH god and Satan are deceptions. You think one is bad so the other must be good I should worship... Just another duality for some to choose the "lesser" evil. There are no gods just powerful beings who like to help or drain your power.

That's not quite what I was implying.
I cannot fathom a left or right when I think about all the directions I can point. I do not feel hot or cold but both hot and cold at the same time or somewhere in between. When looking at a planet I don't see a north or south hemisphere but a whole planet.
I was pointing out that for there to be a light and dark, there must be a gradient of varying values in between the two, which wouldn't make them two at all.
As dualists, we are merely defining various degrees of appearance to suit our purposes. Light and dark are states of appearance, not real things. Consciousness is a state of appearance; Love is a state of appearance; Good is a state of appearance; Happy is a state of appearance—not at all real tangible things. Things can only appear to be a certain way.

I can see where you are going, but;
I think thought that if you follow that line of reasoning to it's logical conclusion with regard to talking about "there must be a gradient of varying values in between the two". Everything has an opposite. Rather than talking holistically, If you talk purely mathematically about the gradient values. For example and lets talk real world examples here.
Photoshop. If you created a gradient that ran from pure white to pure black, if you zoom in to get down to the pixel level. For every value in the gradient there will be it's polar opposite at the other end of the gradient. So while holistically yes everything is 'Shades of grey' when you get down to effectively it's 'essence', then there are only opposite and equal values for everything. IMHO.
