A star system or stellar system is a small number of stars that orbit each other,[1] bound by gravitational attraction. A large number of stars bound by gravitation is generally called a star cluster or galaxy, although, broadly speaking, they are also star systems. Star systems are not to be confused with planetary systems, which include planets and similar bodies.
the interstellar medium (ISM) is the matter that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy. This matter includes gas in ionic, atomic, and molecular form, as well as dust and cosmic rays. It fills interstellar space and blends smoothly into the surrounding intergalactic space. The energy that occupies the same volume, in the form of electromagnetic radiation, is the interstellar radiation field.
Intergalactic space is the physical space between galaxies. The huge spaces between galaxy clusters are called the voids. Surrounding and stretching between galaxies, there is a rarefied plasma[117] that is organized in a galactic filamentary structure.[118] This material is called the intergalactic medium (IGM)
Harvested love only comes after rain
Even though it brings overwhelming strain
It falls from all skies so I can't complain
Without it, our growth would not be the same
Most people like to have someone to blame
But it falls randomly, not taking aim
It makes up one half of the yin and yang
Without the water, you can't have the flame
Without the water, you can't have the flame
Some are content holding ground in their game
But when my soul steps to exit this frame
I will be reincarnated as.. [Rain]
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain

And so a BEING OF THE DARK has a potentially different environment suit/body and eye make up from BEINGS OF THE LIGHT…
My believe is that the external expression of the above on earth is clearly visible and even felt. They may look like eachother since one was created in the others image. After the fall they both expressed light and dark in conscious.
Currently the light is expanding because a new day is rising.

The way you describe it is this way:
Darkness: instinct, impulse, habit, self-serving
Light: consciousness, reflection, empathy

Just I disagree with the polarizing view made here. It's not all light OR dark. At any moment, we can be more conscious or less conscious. We are climbing and descending a ladder. We are not 100% at the top or 100% at the bottom.

You can't say THIS is Light and THAT is Darkness because these qualities are relative. You have "more conscious" and "less conscious".

Also I don't like the connotation of these words light and darkness. I prefer to simply stick to a descriptive word: self-conscious and altruistic or instinctive and self preserving.

Self-consciousness is a characteristic of more evolved animals, it doesn't mean a plant or a rock is "evil" or "dark" because it's not as conscious.

Obviously anything with mass has some darkness to it.

I prefer to look at this as elements of Earth/Air/Water/Fire and the 5th element.
Darkness would be a subset effect of water, contracting, dark..
Light would be a subset effect of Fire, expansion, light..

Needless to say I am not a fan of the Black Sun idea.. Of course depending on their meaning, they may be using the word dark to mean spiritual.. The unseen realm.. The Dark world. Physicists call this (dark matter/dark energy)..

And if they are, then I am of a similar mindset to the game they are playing.

Morality as a concept described as dark and light (bad and good) doesn't match dark and lightness as experienced in the physical/spiritual worlds.
Coming across a being of pure light or pure dark? That's going to hurt in either case. haha.

Light = Aware, Seeing/Understanding
Darkness = Not Aware, Not Seeing/Understanding
Therefore Light is Wisdom (understanding things) and Empathy (understanding others).
