This can become a challenge if it is one of your own family members or friends.
There is no religion higher than truth
"You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket.
The friend said to the devil, 'What did that man pick up?' 'He picked up a piece of the truth,' said the devil. 'That is a very bad business for you, then,' said his friend. 'Oh, not at all,' the devil replied, 'I am going to help him organize it.'
I maintain that truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally.
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or coerce people along a particular path."

Absolutely no darkness...is that possible or real? Why should the darkness alter energy in a negative way? Maybe there is something within the darkness that is the problem. If you haven't been through the dark you will not know what that is. So out of the dark and into the light...then what problem is there with the dark: none. Dark as a metaphor for negative destructive energy, or a state of ignorance is another story. Maybe your entire family lives in that state of dark ignorance; what chance does a child have there? None...only survival.
So your thread is about survival for ascension, right? My point is that if a kid can survive long enough to learn the difference between darkness and evil--not being afraid of the dark and having experienced evil--then what, was that not already the ascension? You know, to get through something like that requires ascension after descent.
Meditation does not necessarily affect your life anymore than diet affects your life. It's helpful, but it does not alter destiny. People who meditate and pray for something may never get that no-matter how good their vibes and intentions are. Meditation is complete unto itself: it is what it is and it is a way; not a way to "get something".
So I am unsure about the ascension unless the descent into darkness, and true evil, is complete. Know what I mean?

I have always questioned, truth about what? What IS exactly this truth that we speak of? I don't think there's any final answer or truth to this all. As well as I see the "theory of everything" kind of silly. I guess the "truth" is dynamic, always changing.
About secret societies.. I doubt that there is any cult that could give you bigger happiness than you can give to yourself. Right now people are connecting, we don't really need any closed cults. If such form naturally, maybe we should let them.
Ageless wisdom. Maybe that's what the "truth" is all about. The basics of, the bottom of ourselves that never changes. And we should build on that.
I don't know if this made any sense to you
Oh yeah, darkness actually activates the pineal gland and the 4th dimension is the time. But you already knew that.

Finally, the unexpected death of Nitya on November 11, 1925 at age 27 (from tuberculosis and after a long history with the disease) fundamentally shook Krishnamurti's belief in Theosophy and his faith in the leaders of the Theosophical Society.
According to eyewitness accounts, the news "broke him down completely". He struggled for days to overcome his sorrow, eventually "going through an inner revolution, finding new strength". The experience of his brother's death seems to have shattered any remaining illusions, and things would never be the same again:

It is extremely hard to stay on the path. Its so lonely if you aren't around other like minded people then you have to practice controlled isolation to keep your vibration high. This is what my personal struggle has been and I can't be around those I love as much as I would like because they bring me down.
Its a shame about your daughter but seeking remedy in court never works they are out to uphold the status quo no matter what the law says.
Stay strong, stay positive. Peace

Well,if I may just insert a quote in here about the subject being discussed at hand.
"You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket.

The quote is from this man.Jiddu Krishnamurti
Think about that in relation to what is transpiring on this planet at this time.

Have you experienced the 4D? I think it is something you should really start to look at, it could help a lot with your question. Operating in darkness leads to destruction of yourself eventually. The brain can not house the light, only the subconscious mind can do that. The mind is the only thing that knows you are not your body or your brain. So it is indeed possible, since the pure mind is pure light
