> Anyway, my intrinsic belief is that the universe is dark, and cold, and full of terrors lol. Explore carefully, kids.

Lovecraft felt the same way. Belief in something greater, but something so alien that it cannot be understood in human terms, is a mark of his time period.

There's a lot of that out there, but there's a lot of the opposite as well. There is brilliant, beautiful light and love. My experience is that the light dispels the dark.

Dark is devouring the light.

The spiritual communities are going bonkers about lizard people and other occult (and worse), not because that is actually true rather a psyop spiritual battle is boggling minds from within.

The immoral and corrupt know they can trust (and will “pay”) each other. The moral will be ridiculed or prescribed antipsychotics for their troubles.

You say otherwise because that was the old teaching, that is what you want to believe, and no one has made trouble for you otherwise.

The light and love is precious, it must be nurtured and maintained, protected. The modern mind (comfortable, convenient, and convinced it’s all a state of mind) just doesn’t have the tenacity of will to endure the mounting struggles. Not at scale anyhow.

Nope. I say otherwise because despite experiencing plenty of trouble this is what I've seen.

Yes, things feel pretty grim in the world right now. Yes, people are very focused on the darkness of the world, and if they aren't now just wait because someone will point it out to them.

Despite that there is still light in the world. You can see it more easily on the 1x1 level, with people going out of their way to care for others. People you don't really have giving to those who have even less.

Darkness isn't a force, after all: it's just the absence of light.

Are you sure? From a perspective it appears darkness is drinking away the light to light’s last embers.
