We are ONE IN the Spirit, We are
ONE WITH the Light,
We are ONE THROUGH God.
The
Great Divine, Creator, God, Infinite Intelligence, Master, Trinity, Teacher,
Light, ..., "I Am",... has been and always will be in-with-and
through us. This "Light" (if you will) is part of each of us and will
be in-with-and through us throughout eternity.
Do we let Light shine?
Do we put restrictions on shining
our Light?
Have we hidden the Light?
Have we dowsed the flame to
accommodate others beliefs?
Are we afraid to let it shine for
fear of retribution?
Do we shine only for some and not
for all?
Do you look for the Light in others?
Are you able to look beyond the
shadows and darkness to see the glimmer of Light in others?...in yourself?
The
Light that is part of each and every soul is eternal. It cannot be put out. The
embers are always there, ready, waiting, willing to shine. Even the seemingly
darkest people have this Light, this ember. They have just hidden it so deep
covering it with fear, hurt, anguish, hate, greed, resentment, ego, etc... They
have placed and ocean of darkness within themselves trying to put out the
Light..... BUT, the LIGHT cannot be stopped.
Hate CANNOT devour Love and Love IS
Light
Fear CANNOT douse the knowledge/the
faith of eternal Light
Ego/greed/power CANNOT defeat the
embers of Hope, Love, and Light that survive eternity.
Light is there, waiting at the
door... waiting for the opportunity, the inquisitiveness of the dark to open
the door to see what is behind it. It is this small breath of movement, of
hesitation from the dark, that gently blows upon the eternal embers.... the
darkness has no choice but to see, feel, know.. this small indiscernible glow
is there... pure darkness is no more... the ember of eternal Light never
sleeps. Even the smallest breath warms the darkest coal. For deep inside that
coal, the Ember of the Spirit Lives.... Waiting with Love... to warm even the
coldest and darkest of hearts. Once awakened, this ember, this Light will never
again be dimmed. It starts to warm, to glow, to thrive.
What
about those in the Light? Those who's flames already shine? True Light has no
ego... it does have self worth... self awareness... but ego has no place... for
ego places one above another, ego seeks power, ego is destructive of the True
Light. So why this warning of ego? Why not cry out " My Light shines so
bright!!"? No, be humble in the Light, for the Light works in you...with
you... through you... it shines in and of itself. It magnifies what is needed
from you to shine to the world. Light, does not need our help, our ego, to do
the work that is needed... Instead it needs our self esteem, our self worth...
to know, we are worthy of the Light.... we are worthy of being, doing, sharing,
shining this Light allowing it to work in/with and through us, not us using it
but rather, the Light (so to speak) using us for the good of all. For we are
ONE with the Light.
Where
and when does ego affect our Light? When we judge others... "oh did you
see so and so"... "can you believe that".... "OMG what a blank that person is"... the
list is endless and we all do it at one point or another in our lives... it is
part of our learning process of being human...
ego vs. self esteem the wrestling match of humanity.

Who are
we to stand in the way of the Light. For when we stand in the way of the Light,
we cast shadows of darkness. We inhibit the breath of Life that we so want to
share... for when we stand and speak, act or react with EGO, we are tainting
and changing the True Light's purpose into that of our ego's.
How
can we overcome ego? First by remembering that the Light doesn't need our help
to shine. Rather it needs us to put aside our ego and let the Light emanate
from our soul, our spirit... allow the Light to be ONE in, with and through
each of us... There is the thread that combines.
True
Light needs no help to shine. It needs no boast of how much it can do.... it
only needs a source, a conduit, a vessel (if you will).. it needs one soul to
shed Light/Love onto another.... souls equal, souls worthy... all souls ONE
through the Divine, God, Creator, "I AM".
It
is without ego, that we, as Spirit beings of Light, must respond, without
hesitation or fear and reach out, through the darkness to touch the spark in
another. Let them know they are also children of the Light. The ember is there
waiting, for that moment we can take away the cloak, the cover we ourselves as
humanity placed, .. peel away the hate... throw out the hurt, the fear that
keeps us in the dark.... It does not serve us well... It makes us cold, hungry,
hateful, angry and bitter. Turn out the demons of the darkness and feel the
ember inside grow...... let it chase away the shadows that seem so powerful in
the dark... Feel the Light Lighten your load as the shadows fade from the form
of our own creation.... Let the Light take over... and illuminate what is truly
there... open the possibilities.. the hopes... the joys.... the LOVE that is
part of our eternal soul...
Once
Spirit's Light ignites we must nurture it with mediation, prayer, time with
nature; sprinkle it with Love, Hope, Joy and Laughter.... watch it grow.... and
let it shine for others to see... share your Light as it is endless and no one
can take it away from you... the more you give away, the more you have... the
more that join in the Light, the brighter it shines.... for as ONE with the
Light, we are ONE with the Spirit, and we are ONE through
God/Divine/Creator/Infinite Intelligence/I AM.
It
is with Gratitude and Humility that your Light will shine bright. A selfless
act of loving kindness, no matter how small it may seem, is all it takes to
spread the breath of Light... that one seemingly small action, may be the air
needed to enliven the ember that lives inside another soul...
***It
is with Humble Thanksgiving that we can Forgive, Live, Love, Laugh through life
and share Joy, Hope, Compassion and Love with ourselves and others... for we
breathe from the Light of Spirit that lives In-With and Through us every day...
every way.... Join with me... as ONE in, with and through the Eternal Light ***
Embrace the Light of eternity for it
is Love... You are Love, I am Love, WE are LOVE... Spirit, God, Eternal knows
no less.
Spirit is Light
Spirit is Love
Spirit is IN, WITH AND THROUGH each
and every one of us.
We are all part of the whole. ONE
in, with and through the Spirit of Light, of Love.
Live in Light, Live in Love, Live in
Spirit.... You are part of the Divine, created in, of, with and through the
Light..... You are One with the Spirit, You are One with Love, You are ONE with
the Light... You are ONE with God
Live in the Love and Light of the
Great "I AM"... Shine your Light Always, and All Way's.
Blessings of Love and Light to you
and all of humanity.
And always remember:
We are ONE IN the Spirit, We are ONE WITH
the Light, We are ONE THROUGH God.
