The greatest discovery in the history of the world is arguably the harnessing of fire. It forms the basis for everything. Without our ability to control fire, nothing we value today could exist.
For early mankind, the darkness represented a time of great unknown dangers. To them, the sun setting represented its descent into darkness only to rise again triumphantly. The sun had to descend and make its way through the darkness. It became a hero each day when it broke free from the dark's powerful hold and illuminated new possibilities each morning when it rose.
Each day told this same story. The sun rising from the abyss, breaking the hold of the darkness which seemed to overtake it, rising high in the sky, illuminating the potential, only to descend again to face its own darkness. It is the story we all express in our lives, for like the Sun, we all must bravely face our own personal darkness and rise again, triumphantly.
The ancient hermetics believed that creation began when the Word called forth the Fire from the dark. It was the friction of the Word moving through the dark that caused Fire to be born.
Darkness represents a time of great potential, unrealized. And to realize the potential hidden in the dark is our work.
The discovery of fire represented mankind discovering its true purpose. As an instrument to realize the potential hidden within the All.
