The concept of enlightenment originated from Buddhist teachings, which began with the understanding of nothingness/void or darkness. Out of that darkness, consciousness/light is born. Jesus died, went to darkness, and was resurrected as light. So, if we need to develop our energy, we have to cultivate a relationship with the void. This is why traditional meditation involves closing your eyes and piercing through the dark. 

The problem here is that explanations of sacred teachings are given in English. The English language used here has no reference to the language from which these teachings originated. A language that is inverted, low vibrational, and intended to distort is incapable of connecting with the true message. Therefore, intention and emotions become key to connecting with the one true creator.

God, the Female creator, is dark, and God, the male action, is light. This is the concept of the yin/yang, Shiva/Shakti.

Everyone is light, but God, who is female, is the dark. Since religion is orcastrated by patriarical men, they simply don’t know how to vibrationally connect with Mother/darkness, who is of love and creation. The women who follow Patriarical religions are disempowered lap dogs at mens beck and call. The only people who have not sold out are the black women. The darker you are, the stronger your connection because of the melanin. This is why there is an all-out campaign to suppress the black woman because she is the closest thing to the real Creator/God.
