the problem you really have is one of a form of spiritual blindness; when our spiritual eyes are shut they turn towards our inner self and reflect the darkness therein- to break out of this mental prison requires you to consciously focus on the exterior and imagine your eyes are covered with a thin veil.Imagine that Once this film is removed the darkness will be awash with light and colour.
You must do this because it is natural for the brain to project images which are possible realities but only if we believe them.These images are dark because the light we have inside is dimmed by repeated negative projections which come from outer stimuli that create a negative atmosphere-they are not actually real.If we believe something different, the darkness recedes- it is actually possible to project a new vision upon the retina of the mind and transform into it by believing in that truth- one simply has to choose the right image of oneself and project it accordingly, good luck!
