When we leave a religion, whether we drift away from it or there is a point where we cut the cord, it is like a breakup. And, on some level, we are changing the course of our religious beliefs especially if we are baptized into a certain religion. Our soul, for whatever reason, decided to come through those parents who baptized us in a religion so when we leave it, it is important to have a healthy breakup with it. Not just leave in anger or run away. There are soul contracts. This makes it important to make peace when you leave it.
Just like you would want to leave a relationship with looking at "What are the lessons I've learned," "What are the things that I really want to take with me," "What were the things I loved about the person," and "What are the gifts that came from the relationship?"
We want to ask ourselves similar questions when we leave a religion. It's even a deeper spiritual process because then we have to find God, whatever God means to us, in a new way.
And, dark energies can be a scary subject to speak of, especially when we grow up hearing about things like the Devil, Satan, or dark entities. Sometimes our own unprocessed, unconscious stuff can create some crazy visuals to get our attention about certain things. Instead of considering what the darkness means, try thinking about how you can increase your connection to the highest source of light and love. The most important thing is to surrender to unconditional love and light.
