Mmm, are they those Flat Earth veggie chips? Those are beyond tasty...
Biu, brother, are you sure this feeling of wanting to dominate the self's desires can't be eventually morphed into a yearning for being 100% true to the self? Instead of wanting to explore the dark, it's possible to simply uncover and observe it. What I mean is, if you allow more light to shine through you, you will become more selfless. As you become more selfless, you will become more aware of the potential for darkness and manipulation stored within like a sleeping wolf. With the increased selflessness, however, the desire to control that dark side of self will fade as it is realized that the longing for control is part of the illusion that comes from the shadow self. You will break the identification with that dark side of yourself. When the identification with darkness is broken, there will be a yearning to be true to the higher self, the one who encompasses the dark and shines forth only light.
Also, I live here with you in Minnesota, so if you ever need to meet with another who is aware of LOO in person, I am here for you.
