| | Darkness therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Sages and mystics throughout time have used darkness as a psycho-spiritual tool for breaking with their past lives, with socially-prescribed reality, and with the conditioning of the world outside. | | | In darkness, however, melatonin is produced instead and is then converted into pinoline, which is involved in dreaming and new states of consciousness, so that we see reality in a wholly uncommon way. | | | The gifts of darkness include the experience of unusual phenomena, such as remarkably lucid levels of uncommon consciousness, where the borders between dreaming and not-dreaming diminish and then disappear altogether. |

| | The Prince of Darkness |
| | The Prince of Darkness' program and/or inspiration goes counter to most of Christianity's belief in sin, and definitely counter to Christianity's belief that the deity is more important than the self. | | | Among those that are ceremonial magicians, not only the magicians who believe in the Prince of Darkness as a being, but also most of those who see him as symbol, form, or metaphor will invoke the Prince of Darkness as if he were a being during magical ritual. | | | Of those who do see him as a being, few of them would use the term "deity" -- the Prince of Darkness is one who manipulates and changes things, but he is not a Creator God, and often not seen as a god at all, but just a spirit/being with more power than we have. |

| | Outer darkness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Scripturally speaking, for Latter-day Saints Outer Darkness or hell is a place where those who did not accept or hear the gospel go in the post-mortal spirit world (see Alma 40:13) to await the teaching of the gospel or the resurrection. | | | The most detailed of the Biblical passages regarding the outer darkness is in Jesus' parable of the wedding feast (also known as the parable of the marriage of the king's son). | | | The use of the terms "Outer Darkness" and "Gnolaum" in their proper context have been clarified in many LDS Church publications over the years, and was one reason for the addition of Doctrine and Covenants Section 138 to the Church canon, however, the misperception still exists today. |

| | bible.org: The “Outer Darkness”: Heaven’s Suburb or Hell? |
| | To take the “outer darkness” phrase in the marriage feast passage of Matthew 22 as being a reference to something other than hell requires a strong argument from the context of Matthew 22 that rewards are the topic, and the meaning of the parable must be clearly about rewards. | | | In the parable of the marriage feast in Matthew 22:13, Jesus tells the story of one who came to a marriage feast but was not dressed properly, so the King had him thrown into the outer darkness where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. | | | In fact, it seems that if Matthew uses “outer darkness” with “gnashing of teeth” in three passages and fire and brimstone with “gnashing of teeth” in two passages, perhaps the “outer darkness” is the same place that is characterized by fire and brimstone. |

| | Remarks On Eternal Punishment :: Hugo Bouter |
| | In the passages in Matthew's Gospel that speak about both the outer darkness and the furnace of fire (chapters 13 and 25), we find that the lost will be cast there immediately after the establishment of the Kingdom. | | | What a blessing it is to know that true Christians have already been transferred spiritually from the realm of death and darkness into the Kingdom of the Son of God's love. | | | Luke 16 does not mention the "darkness" that reigns in the place of ultimate torment, but this does not necessarily mean that there is no darkness in Hades at all. |

| | We do not know where this outer darkness is, whether it is in the kingdom or somewhere else, but we know it is without rewards of reigning as Christ comes to collect all that are His at His return in the darkness of the condition of the world. | | | And hence the "outer" mentioned in the parable is in relation to this darkness that shrouds the darkness of the Lord’s glory at His coming. | | | Rather, discipline in outer darkness in the Bible is that place of loss of rewards after judgment seat. |
