In your opinion iss there a difference between dark energy and negitive energy?

I believe that there is. The way that I look at it, there are two types of people: light people and dark people. There are two types of energies: positive energy and negative energy. If that's the case, that means there are four possibilities: light person, positive energy; light person, negative energy; dark person, positive energy; and dark person, negative energy.

Light and dark refer to the person's life disposition. Positive and negative, of course, refer to the "attitude" (can't think of a better term at the moment) of the energies.

I think of my self as a dark positive person. I prefer the darkness to light, night to day, more gothic lifestyle, ect. ect. My energies, though, are positive. I never wish to harm anyone and I love helping others.

Hope this was easy enough to understand. It's somewhat easier to explain with visuals.

To over simplify yes.

I do not think that always these go together. I view both as something that naturally occurs, but to be dark does not mean you must be negative.

I think a person's intent is what makes them either positive or negative. Over all we choose what we want to be. We can be dark and positive, dark and neutral, dark and negative~ then there are all the combinations in between. For some it can merely be a mood or purpose of what they are doing, others it is more of an instinctual response.

I do think that we all have the potential for both, but circumstances, actions and intent then mix them all up to what we cumulate in our being.

I think there is a very real difference. Though I would have a hard time to explain it.

Okay, I'll take the physical side.
Dark energy is a term used for describing a state of the universe that is yet to be analysed. It is the energy that makes the universe accelerate after a big bang, instead of slowing down as would be more logical, and it is theorised that it will continue to accelerate, towards uncertain results. As for Negative energy, it is also very theoretical. It is referred to as the rash, physical, material, or baser impulses of a human, and the positive energy the opposite, mental, analytic, and collected impulses. In some theories, Negative and Positive is the makings of all things, Chaos and Order, which must be in equilibrium.

I think SilverFae summed it up beautifully... It is a clear-cut answer that still answers the whole question... In my opinion, though, the person's intentions are the most important thing...

I believe Sevenn has said it best but again intent can change from one moment to the next defining the next set of circumstances. We are only who we are and change with every passing moment. Each new experience gives us new deifinitions, as with these experiences we learn and grow.

I believe that there is only one type of energy and it is neutral. The way energy is used by people may give it a polar sense or feeling of negative or positive depending on how it was/is used. However I feel that polar effect does not last long and any energy left in the area would return to a neutral state unless there was an intelligent presence in that area that lingers and keeps the energy charged to a specific polarity.

My two bits.

I've always felt that there needed to be positive and negative energy to balence things out. Like how can u have light without darkness. You cant have one without the other. I guess there is many ways to think about it

As humans, we are trapped in the world of dualistic thinking, but in reality, it is all part of the same thing.
It is just the way we choose to percieve it that makes it either/or.
But that's just my thought on it.

Hot4blood – It’s just like blacksefirot said. It’s all about perception. We humans have a need to label and define things and do so off our limited ability of perception.

I believe that energy is just energy be it physical, mental or spiritual. It is the use and perception of the person that decides if it is light/dark or positive/negative or good/bad. Perception is the only deciding factor. Just my opinion.

I believe dark is a way of living, and negative is a way of thinking.

In the cosmological sense, I think there is. Dark energy is the force excerted from matter in the universe that doesn't emit light. Negative energy is created in response to some action.

could dark energy be the gravitational force from minute particles of dark matter?

karnstein, yes it could. But neither the dark energy or the matter have been registered so far. It is only a result of deduction for now.

yes dark energy and negitive energy are different, negitive usaully means bad and not good. now not all dark energy is bad so ya i would say there is a difference between them.
hope that makes sense

yes negative sayd it is bad or evil while dark may not be that way

I agree that there is a definite difference in the two I feel the Dark is worst then the Negative it depends on the intentions of the ones in volved in my opinon yet they are very different.

I entirely agree with Seveen...

In the end...its like a balance...

yes there is a difference between the two... i really don't know how to explain it myself... but there is...

I can give my own opinion and sum up this question without all the Gobbledygook. Dark=intent; Negative=results of said intent.

I believe there is a very real difference. Darkness is'nt necessarily negative. It can be, but to catagorized them together would be incorrect.

i believe they are different because darkness isnt always negitive like others have said

I've always been of the mind that only something with self awareness and the ability to think in abstract or future tense has the capacity for 'evil' or negative ends. Everything else falls under the neutrality that allows it to be used or abused...positively or negatively. I would assume that energy would be little different on this matter.

oh yes there is Dark doe snot mean evil or bad .. it is simply the oppsite of light.. you can not have one without the other.

Negative on the other hand .. well I am sure there must be a goo duse for it but I can not think of one.. where a I use dark energy in banashiments and other spells of that sort. Spells to end things as a rule.

I think there isnt a difference

Sevenn, thanks for writing that. Makes forumposting worthwhile.
If someone gained anything from all of this, thats great. For all I'm concerned, that is what forums are for.

As the first unwritten law states, anything can be transmuted. Naturally, they are different, much in the same way that the opposite conjecture of "good" and "light" can be.

i would have to agree with silverfae. she did a wonderful job explaining things. they are two completely seperate things, i think.

Definitely believe there is a difference...not everything dark has to be neagative.

there is a big diffrence

Often the two go hand in hand, but certainly not all the time and they definaty aren't the SAME thing.

These are just human words, and have a different meaning to each mind...One must first define each of these words, so each would know what is being Truely discussed...

We humans define things based off function and how we perceive that function is going to impact us but that does not mean the source powering said functions are different from one another.

If energy was used to make more money in our bank accounts most people would agree that it was a positive, light, or good source of energy because the function that the energy is being used for is creating what they perceive is a positive event.

Flip that around and have the function of the energy being to take money out of a persons account and slowly drain it than it would be labeled as a negative, dark, bad, energy when it really is not. It is the same energy just used for a different function.

Same thing goes for defining Order, Law, Chaos, Neutral etc. All of these labels do not change the fact that the energy is all the same. These labels are simply used to define the function of how or why things are being done which is based on how they are being perceived.

If 10 babies where randomly killed from a cities daycare center that could be defined as a chaotic event and a bad or negative one. Now if you where to say that is was known that all those kids would eventually rise up and work together to destroy humanity than their death might be justified and perceived as a good, positive, or lawful event as it was preventing such a disastrous future.

Energy is all the same how it is used is the only defining difference and than that is defined based on how it is perceived and we all perceive things differently.

I think that's like asking what the difference between spooky and creepy. It just depends on the situation. Sometimes they are the same, sometimes they aren't.

I’ll give them a shot:

Creepy = a sense of unnerving induced by a stimulus perceived to be out of place but not inducing a sense of fear. Induces more of a sense of repulsion but not one of total disgust maybe more of caution or mistrust. However the stimulus is perceived to be more known or familiar than that of one unknown or unidentifiable thus the heightened anxiety levels are controllable.

Example: a humanoid form covered in slime and plant life rising out of a swamp and laboring toward you going around trees while is moves toward you.

Spooky = a sense of fear or fright induced by a stimulus perceived to be a threat usually of the unknown where in higher levels of anxiety are induced but not controllable as in Creepy because the perception of the inducing stimulus is caused by the unknown which is more often perceived as more threatening – because most people think of things in the worse case scenarios.

Example: a ghostly silhouette of a humanoid form floating over a swamp heading toward you which is perceived to pass through trees as though it was not there.

Creepy and Spooky are both defined based off perception and the feelings derived from them.

Back to energy though and the posted question

Dark energy and negative energy.

To me negative is energy that was used for a negative function where in the user of said energy and any individuals witnessing the energy or encountering it also perceived it to function in the same manner as the original user. Basically they all shared the same mindset.

Dark energy, well ‘dark’ is a visual reference and defiantly defined based on perception.

Negative energy though could originally have been positive but do to the consequences of its use became negative.

Example: Nuclear energy can be perceived as a positive if used to power our homes but then negative if used in a bomb to kill. But the energy it self never changed on how we used it and perceived it.

Another example: If our enemy uses energy to harm us to them it was a positive but to us it’s a negative. AND Vis-Versa

I’d agree that energy can be charged to a specific polarity depending on how it’s used and its function is perceived. Similar to an isotope but that the change is only temporary at best and the core of the energy is still the same and could even be changed again or altered.

Maybe it’d be best to say energy is always changing and never a constant and that energy can be anything, dark or negative and at the same time depending on how it is used and perceived.

I agree with what people have been saying. I beleive that Dark can be good or bad and that negative is just bad.

I agree, I to believe that they are seperate and differnt

yes I think there is a difference

If you feel there is a difference, please explain why or how.

i've always though energy is energy as my belief of that comes from my occupation and my father is a power plant worker and i have worked in a power plant before myself so, but if there is negative energy then im full of it

i believe that you can be a dark person but have positive energy. as i feel that i am one of them. but there most definatley be a difference

in my own opinion i'd have to say there is, asking that is basically the same as asking if there is a difference between black magic (dark arts) and regular magic or light magic, wich there is see even tho black magic is black, dark, not normal anotherwards negative it isn't negative magic, because even black magic has a negative too just as gun practice has a negative as to a reccochet bullet, a negative in any form of magic is the same, if not done properly so something that wasn't supposed to happen happened that would be negative magic or if your magic came back at you or didn't do what it was supposed to then it would be negative magic so yes there is a difference between Dark and negitive

I believe this is open to at least 2 kinds of interpretation,the social & the individual.
If one lives in a farming community,for instance,& a fox gets into a hen house & kills a few chickens,the farmers would see this act as a negative ^ dark thing.
However,the fox kills the chickens for food to feed itself & it's cubs.
Feeding one's family is something that all creatures (including humans) is concerned with.
We judge circumstances as either Light/Positive or Dark/Negative by how it effects us.
The notion is subjective.
However,to move closer to your question, nature has darkness in it,but the darkness is not to do with intent,it's necessity.
Nature does not have negativity in it,because I think the kind of negative/positive that you refer to is intensional.
I also agree with SilverFae in what she said & everybody who said that intension can be a deciding factor.

In terms of Dark vs. Negative, negative merely defines which end of the spectrum the energy is on, like yin and yang, good and evil, while Dark is simply the will of the person. A light person likes sunflowers, puppys, and songs about true love for example, and a dark person likes the nightlife, bats, and bands that have song lyrics revolving around more depressing topics. (Oh crap. This is what taking too many Psyche courses has done to me...nooo!)

dark is a missunderstand turn. dark isn't nessiserally bad but negitive is. so in my opinion yes there is a difference

I argued this point so many times with my boyfriend. He does not believe in good versus evil; he simply believes in positive and negative and a HUGE gray streak in between. (I call him a hippie.)

Gray streak aside, I believe there is a difference between dark and negative. They are, of course, of the same family, but what is dark may help build understanding, and what is negative is simply that; that which detracts from positive.

If liking puppies & those kinds of things is Light & liking the night,bats & so on is Dark,then I guess I'm neutral.
I like puppies & certain other "light" things & I like the night & bats & other "dark" things. LOL
So,how many of us is neutral or is that another topic of discussion?

I think there definetely is a difference. Dark doesn't necessarily mean evil or negative, and negative doesn't necessarily mean dark.

dark energy is often miss gided by hate or pain while negative has a mission and comes for an evil

I think that SilverFae put it great....well written!

I also think that there are alot of supre negative people out there that hide behind darkness as an excuse for their behavior....makes something so peaceful and beautiful so misunderstood.

i always thought that there was a difference like negative energy can be formed without intention but dark energy is formed with purpose

I do believe that there is a difference between dark and negative energy. Dark energy has a more... saddening feel to it, kind of like a dark cloud that surrounds you. Negative energy is more of a reversal of positive. Now I am not saying that either one is necessarily bad, at moments, we need both to protect us and to help us to learn.
That is my not so insightful opinion. LOL

In my oppinion they are both bad and should be watched out for but I beleive there is a difference. Dark energy can be evel and as Native people put it BAD MEDICINE. These are people you set out to harm others and conflict pain. Negative energy is somethign people can put out there and at times not even know they are doing so. Negative energy can harm you if you let it but is easier to fix.

When someone says something is posotive it means it's good. Negative is the opposite of that and means bad. When someone says something is light they can mean it's vibrant. Dark can just mean solom and dull.

Pleasent Nightmares, Rose (Blade)

Dark energy would be more from a evil side
Negative energy is like electricity negative and possitive...

i beleive they are different. dark energy to me is the natural energy that is abundant when the light is gone and the day has ended


while negative energy is the things you see and feel are bad bbut with anything that depends on a persons own veiws what qualifies as negative energy can vary from person to person

Not all negative energy is evil. It could just be energy that you just aren't ready for. Or it could be a result you weren't looking for.Dark energy can be a little unpredictable but when you can control it its only bad when you use it for bad.
