You are being prepared for a better stage than humanity. The light is will. Your experiences are a testament of your will and your darkness (fear) acts as a false beacon. In nothing there is always nothing.

The will of the earth is shown to agree or disagree with humanity as time progresses. Things were much harder on humanity when the light first began to grow but as human will progressed, human will began to show.
We are in another period of disagreement with our nature. The will of humanity has grown to threaten the will of the earth which we had made contract to grow.

The light is everything. More than human consciousness can ever know.

With the light, we can be.
