Balance

When I talk about needing a balance between the light and dark, I’m not referring the common reference as light being good and dark being evil or bad.
To me, the example of a tree or plant comes to mind. I once heard “Plants/trees only reach for the light.” To me, that neglects how deep the roots must be sent into the earth so it can reach that height. It’s a balance of consciousness and unconsciousness in each person. Or, incorporating what Jung referred to as “The Shadow” aspect of each person with their consciousness. Otherwise, what is in the shadows will drive us unconsciously instead of us making conscious decisions.
