Mind the Dark Force

The spiritual community has made a big step forward by putting the God versus devil struggle a bit in the background and instead internalizing the divine as well as destructive force inside ourselves. The ego versus soul discussion has made this transition complete. Yet, we still feel something is missing. Does is really make sense to feel bad about our desires, the aspirations of what we want to have or what we want to be? Isn't there a good versus bad ego in us? Why can't we celebrate the innovative ways we find to express our desires while still operating in harmony with the cosmic design?

Anastasia (in the ringing cedars series) spoke of the dark force and this expression made a lot of sense to me since I feel its presence in me as well. No, it is not the desire that is the problem; the problem is that the existing dark force inside of us starts running with your desire and literally takes you for a ride. So I would differentiate the Cosmic force (the Tao), the self and the dark force to express the eternal struggle of good and evil inside of us. What do you think?
