When you get to the darkness, see in your mind what you saw in the light and keep moving to the goal and it will always be enough.
We were meant to be whole and be completely of Love and Light, as God is.
If you share your light with the world, truth and goodness will be your constant companions.
"A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love, are you afraid of the world around you, or are you living in the true reality of a God-made world that depends on you? Are you doing your part in forgiving others?If so, continue to walk in the light. If not, press through the darkness into light-the world is waiting."
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk revealing your true self.
To place you ideas, your dreams, before a crowd
Is to risk rejection.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk disappointment.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard
In life is to risk nothing.
Those who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing,
And become nothing.
They may avoid present suffering and sorrow, but they
Will not learn, feel, change, grow, love, or live.
Chained by their fear, they are slaves who have forfeited
Their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
And the realist adjusts the sails.
Is fear preventing you from taking a necessary risk today?
"What is to give light must endure burning."
~ Viktor Frankl from Man's Search for Meaning
" To liberate the human spirit we must embrace heightened consciousness and enhance the flow of positive energy. We are beings of light and energy , once we accept this truth our soul can soar with the angels."
To truly honour life we must sink our roots into what is holy and embrace the infinite life force while radiating love and light.
True divine nature is an instrument of light that enables us to walk in peace and beauty.
"Are there any questions?" An offer that comes at the end of college lectures and long meetings. Said when an audience is not only overdosed with information, but when there is no time left anyhow. At times like that you sure do have questions. Like, "Can we leave now?" and "What the hell was this meeting for?" and "Where can I get a drink?"
The gesture is supposed to indicate openness on the part of the speaker, I suppose, but if in fact you do ask a question, both the speaker and the audience will give you drop-dead looks. And some fool - some earnest idiot - always asks. And the speaker always answers. By repeating most of what he has already said.
But if there is a little time left and there is a little silence left in response to the invitation, I usually ask the most important question of all: "What is the Meaning of Life?"
You never know, somebody may have the answer, and I'd really hate to miss it because I was too socially inhibited to ask. But when I ask, it is usually taken as a kind of absurdist move - people laugh and nod and gather up their stuff and the meeting is dismissed on that ridiculous note.
Once, and only once, I asked that question and got a serious answer…
Papaderos rose from his chair at the back of the room and walked to the front, where he stood in the bright Greek sunlight of an open window and looked out…He turned. And made the ritual gesture: "Are there any questions?"
Quiet quilted the room. These two weeks had generated enough questions for a lifetime, but for now there was only silence.
"No questions?" Papaderos swept the room with his eyes.
So. I asked.
"Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?"
The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go.
Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.
"I will answer your question."
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter.
And what he said went like this:
"When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.
"I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one. And by scratching it on a stone I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine - in deep holes and crevices and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.
"I kept the little mirror, and as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light - truth, understanding, knowledge - is there, and it will only shine in many dark places if I reflect it.
"I am a fragment of a mirror whose design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world - into the black places in the hearts of men - and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life."
And then he took his small mirror and, holding it carefully, caught the bright rays of daylight streaming through the window and reflected them onto my face and onto my hands folded on the desk.
The time is now for transformation. It is a new era and we are poised with the opportunity to bring in a new consciousness, and co-create a new reality. Why? Because the light within each of us has been turned on, and it's our job to turn that light on brighter and brighter until all false thought forms dissolve in the light of our Truth.---Dr. Michelle L. Casto
"In the narrow halls of the inner ear, echoed is the song of Light."
Enlightenment doesnt occur from
sitting around visualizing images of light,
but from integrating the darker aspects of the Self
into the conscious personality.
Never fear shadows.
They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Darkness descends so that we may remember the light
until we see the light in the darkness and no longer make the distinction.
You , my friend, are that light.
A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.
It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
Knowledge is Power, but Wisdom is Eternal.
Light waves because it knows who I am.
Faith does not restrict your actions. It sets them free.
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean
“… Hear and understand: the Flame is the source of all things, all things are its manifestation!
Seek to be One with the Divine Sun!
Hold your thought on uniting the Light with your human body.
Light is the Source of all the life; for without the Great Light nothing can ever exist!
Know, Light is the basis of all formed matter.
Know, O man, that all space is filled by worlds within worlds.”
And I think to myself what a wonderful world. Oh, yeah....
All we are saying is give Peace a chance.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you will join us. Then the world will live as one.
The closer you are to the Light, the smaller the shadow that follows you.
You are who you believe yourself to be. If you believe, with all your heart and soul, that you are wise and powerful and capable of changing the world, you will fulfill your own prophecy. If you believe you are helpless and without purpose, you will, again, fulfill your own prophecy.
Peace on Earth, It's in Your Hands.
Evil is like a shadow - it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.
Light attracts butterflies and mosquitoes. Wisdom is knowing the difference.
