Our Light Wants to Feel Unified and Whole


The light is loving and kind and it comes from an inner source. Love is the source of that light and drives it outward into experience. The light in us wants to feel wholeness and to connect with other parts of itself that have felt separate for far too long. It wants to unify in that oneness and to know that it already is whole, but doesn't yet recognize it. 

To feel divided and separate from each other is uncomfortable and challenging. To feel unseen and unheard is hard. The light in me wants to recognize the light in you, however. It doesn't want to experience that it is any different. It wants to see us as we truly are in that union. 

We might experience darkness in its many forms existing inside of us. We might experience darkness in the political, economic, and social landscape of our time. We might observe negativity and darkness in the media and in the messaging in an age of endless information. But is that darkness our true reality and the real nature of the inner self? It is not. It is part of a duality where light appears to play against dark. It is a play of consciousness. Light transcends the dark in that play when it doesn't fight it, but instead when it is allowed to absorb it in its love. 

What we give our attention to will grow in us and in our experience. Give attention to the feelings of lightness, happiness, positivity, and optimism and these will grow. We are more powerful than we imagine. If we give too much attention to what feels dark, negative, and polarizing; it will consume us slowly. Everything serves its purpose no doubt, but rather choose to be consumed in the light than in darkness. We are more than capable of that. It will happen naturally with pure intention and a willingness to step back and observe what is. 

Also do not fight the battle that rages within and between us.  Observe it as it is and choose to be the light onto it and by seeking to recognize that light wherever it can found. When we fight what is, we give it more power. We give away our own power in that process. When we observe what is, it is allowed to dissolve away. It might not go away immediately, but it will affect us much less and soon disappear. This is a practice of observance and self-awareness that requires some effort, but it is also effortlessness when acknowledged within.  

It doesn't mean that we don't care about others or our lives when we observe or choose not to react or engage with an outer experience; it simply just means that we are attempting to cultivate new awareness of what arises before choosing a course of action. We are discerning, finding out what feels true by stepping back a bit. 

Find people, places, and activities that increase a vibration of light and also of love. Lean into it wherever we can find it. Do the little things that matter and be kind to others. In each moment, we have a new opportunity to shift our perspective out of the past or an outdated program into a new one that aligns more deeply with our core nature and truth. In times of chaos, conflict, fear and anxiety; that is when we can make the transition more quickly into a new state of being more aligned with our deeper nature. We can be the inner change that we want to see in others. 

Change happens within, not without. Inner work matters more than the outer work. Outer action can become the consequence of a renewed state of inner being, but the quality of our own inner experience will create the parameters for the outer one. Seek to heal what feels unresolved, become aware of thoughts and emotions, of feelings. Express them. Give them space and be gentle. Ask for guidance and to be aligned with the light that wants to come forth from the depths of true being and true love. 

Much love human family; we move closer together despite what it seems.
