Dark Cosmos
“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”
The crown chakra is the gateway to the upper dark, a portal into the dazzling core of our galaxy and the expanse of cosmos. Here we ascend into a boundless universe- the infinite realms of the ONE dark.
A journey into the centre of our galaxy reveals a powerful dark vortex around which our entire solar system orbits; a supermassive black hole. These mysterious giants are macrocosmic expressions of the same singularity that pulses inside our atoms, the same dark ONE on a colossal scale. The nature of the dark is its longing to dissolve all particles of separateness into the ocean of everything and the centre of our galaxy offers a very real display of the gravitational power of this energy as once crossed over its event horizon, nothing can escape the dark, not even light. In the mysteries of the dark, light is seen as the individuated form, existence made manifest into a separate cell in which the dark can experience itself. The return of light to its dark source is a moment of surrender, hovering on the event horizon is a courageous feat as all memories of form and experience of self is extinguished, absorbed into the whole. It is an exhilarating choice to turn towards the source of our animation and give our consent to enter the world beyond separation knowing that it will eventually take everything.
The first surrender we experience when opening to the dark of cosmos is the release of identification with our human form, as we ascend into the upper dark we pull away from the earthly plane and enter the galactic realms, dimensions that exist beyond time or space; the infinite universe. The doorway to enter these realms is pure consciousness, awakened awareness and attuning to the dark core of the galaxy supports our ability to rest back into this aspect of our eternal nature. We can align to this state of awareness through meditation practices that shift our central identity from human form to universal life, merging our consciousness with cosmos.
The power of awareness can reach beyond the speed of light and connecting to the dark core of the galaxy can be an instantaneous experience. As we lift our gaze to the core it also gazes back at us and this exchange can activate a ‘hit’ of dark as the merging of awareness creates a channel for dark energy to flow. This dose of dark can wash through the structures of our lives purifying and reorganising according to cosmic intelligence.
Engaging the dark in cosmos is a very different experience from meeting this energy in matter which is encased in a primal sheath and therefore holds resonance with our own form. Instead it has a distinct implacability, a penetrating stillness that can feel almost cold to the human aspects of us. This energy does not recognise our humanness but sees only its dark counterpart at our core and therefore it is our task to bring this pristine energy into the warmth of a love that we recognise. The notion ‘humanity is the arms of the dark’ reflects our ability to funnel this energy through the core of our heart and extend its reach to all kingdoms. A warm blooded gift of dark love via the cosmos.
“In the deep space, into the holes from which,
one can never escape. Displays the beauty of
Eternal Oneness.”

When we open our crown to the dark of cosmos we also open ourselves to all beings connected to this frequency, we merge with the ONE inside all civilisations and intergalactic life forms. It is not unusual to sense the presence of ‘being's’ from other galaxies or to feel life throughout cosmos as plentiful as it is on earth. Locating our awareness in cosmos opens the possibility of a shared dark universality as humanity takes its place on the galactic council among all life forms, recognising the same core inside planets, stars and within all extraterrestrial intelligence.
The dark accelerates evolution and its capacity to radically elevate consciousness is one of the most potent offerings for humanity. This energy can pierce through collective thought forms and mental structures that limit our capacity to know our own boundlessness, the true nature of reality. It can ungrip us from a concrete three dimensional world of predictability and logic where the boundaries of ‘knowing’ encase the multidimensional realms of possibility. The dark could liberate humanity’s consciousness from its gilded cage and contribute to mass global awakening. On an individual level linking rhythmically with the galactic centre can support a porous mind where thought forms well up and dissolve without calcifying into structure, where the dark light can wash through and return all notion back to nothing.
To connect with the dark in cosmos rest your awareness inside the crown and connect here with the centre that bridges cosmos and earth. Lift your awareness up through the space above your crown and keep lifting, through the sky and atmosphere, past the sun and planets until you sense the centre of our galaxy, a great dark vortex. Once attuned to this centre feel the channel that runs between the two cores, feel the natural communication that arises when they are connected. From here you can either draw energy down into the crown and let it flush through your body via the shushumna channel of your spine penetrating through the heart and down into the base. You can also lift energy from the base or heart through the crown to the galactic centre, sublimating the lower dark into the upper dark, dissolving duality as they reach into the cosmic core.
Another powerful way to connect to the dark in cosmos is to bring your awareness to the movements of the galactic centre by tracking it through the night sky or aligning your sleep cycle by waking when it rises and sleeping when it sets. The centre of ONE galaxy is the doorway to all galaxies and we can journey through consciousness into the core of larger systems millions of light years away. The singularity of all black holes can be experienced as fractals within fractals just by entering the ONE.
The more you locate yourself inside this centre the more the dark of cosmos is located inside you.
Until there is no ‘you’.
“This is the call of the Dark One, the roar of life seeking its source.
The union you long for is within reach.
Throw off all hesitation.
Plunge into the uncanny blackness,
eyes wide open. ”
