We aren't privy to know exactly who is "winning" this kerfuffle. I don't think it matters because it's a distraction away from the very thing you aren't supposed to know. Chiefly, you are powerful enough to not care. You are powerful enough not to fear. The great sages have managed to get these secrets passed on through propaganda documents like the bible. "ye are gods" says Jesus in John.
You might be thinking, "what do I do then?". It's very simple, but not easy. You face away from anything that binds you and face towards everything that waters your soil. It's a direction change that takes an awakening, a conversion, catalyst, a wake-up call. Should you not be privileged to have one of these accidentally, you can invite one into your life manually. It's done by facing your fears. Once you look at them directly they cease to control you. Your desires and your fears are the map to your awakening. Go and have a desire and face a fear today. Go totally in, without reservation. Trust that you are not an accident. Trust that your inbuilt desires and fears are there to serve you.
The path is filled with light, mostly light, and spots that have no light. That's darkness. It's not the opposite, it's just how we name the absence of light. A very small light displaces shadows in your life.The darkness is the antagonist of your story and you can't name a great story without great darkness. It's not there to beat but to transform.
So, chill and grow.
