Light comes from the sun, and is far more aggressive than the more passive darkness, and so they realized light as masculine, or Yang. Along with that masculine light is, in multidimensional language, intelligence, thought, day, left brain... The more passive inverse of light, or darkness, is Yin, which includes the moon, intuition, feelings, night, right brain.
While there is so much more to this, and these, their accuracy is consistent because they parallel the passive aggressive inverses of Universal energies. So, while to the conventionally distracted (unconscious convention), all this may sound like nothing more than "psychobabble," it is actually very real Universal physics.
While darkness metaphorically suggests that one is "in the dark" about something, as in "not aware," it also refers to Yin's highly *Intuitive* nature, which survives at the pinnacle of Universal Truth way beyond the capacities of Yang (reason given in Nag Hammadi thread...Intuition being like one's "dna" that inherently *realizes* far more than mere language can express).
In conventional reasoning, darkness is sometimes used to refer to someone who is "down" or depressed because, though those referrers may not realize where they are getting that from, it suggests that if the person who is "down" or depressed had some particular awareness about something, that they would "lighten" up!
