- ... the darkness is more like a feeling or emotion which overtakes people once they have had a certain experience than a concept such as colonisation. In the story of creation, dark was present in the world before light was created. Therefore, my view is that in Heart of Darkness, darkness represents the base, elemental nature of the world, while light is what was created by man to cover this.

By being attached to the material world, we are cut off from our true self and, therefor, are not spiritually free. The only exemption to worldly emotions is love. The only way to spiritual liberation is by learning to master all of our own emotions. Emotions, other than our human bodies are what makes us part of the animal world. Anger, joy, despair, etc., are what traps us inside our bodies. They make us slave to our senses. That's why there are yogis that can endure any pain or hunger because they have ...
