Over time the light of Spirit became overshadowed and just as that light once had dazzled so the clouds of darkness were, commensurately, very dark. The light flickered in hidden places and in the life of nature, but black magic and corruption more and more became the way of life of choice, or necessity, for the people of a great continent, and continues for some to this day. Africa is a place of hope and promise, of spiritual history and destiny, and of the work of the Brothers of the Shadow; it is a place of extremes where anything can happen, and right now it is where the good and evil in man is most visible.
I see this in Mali, where unwelcome extremists have tried to kill a way of life and culture in the name of religion, but it is actually for power, the desire to control as much of Africa and beyond as possible in order to destabilise the centres of democracy and wreak vengeance on the people they blame for colonialism and interference all around the world. The terrorists are like an invasive plant which, out of control, spreads rapidly and dangerously causing serious damage to the environment it has infiltrated. Like the plant, they must be stopped or the dark they represent will cover the land - though if and how to stop them is a matter of choice.
France and now Britain have seen the possible future and have made a choice to attempt to curb the march of the Islamist terrorists, seeing that, to do otherwise, would bring their extremism dangerously close to home. This affects all democratic, established states and it will be interesting to see who else decides to try to stop the spread, albeit at some cost, including the USA. We all are involved.
This really is about the balance of light and dark in the world, and failure to see this will make the global transition much more difficult than it needs to be. It is about choice, and it is also a matter of conscience.
