The Light of the Shadow Both Light and Shadow are the Dance of Love ~ Rumi No-thing can cast a shadow. If there is nothing there, no shadow. In other words, non-duality has no thing(s). In the beginning was the Light. And the Light was without form. No form. No-thing. Although this is very abstract languaging … it does give us a glimpse about the nature of consciousness without form or shadow. Then we jump into duality. With the metaphorical … Big Bang. Fast forward a few billion years … and there is this planet orbiting a sun in this solar system. It takes quite a long time before sentences start to show up on the cosmic canvas of creation. I mean, you have to make atoms. And big-ass mass (planets and other celestial bodies). And from that cosmic dirt, the creation of life. Self-animated life. Which implies DNA and…
Life gets better when you are consciously creating more of it Your karma is your choice, in two different ways. First of all, it was your Soul that chose to take on your particular flavor(s) of karmic imprinting. And second, it can be your ego, right now, that decides how you experience your karma. Karma does not care either way. And your emotions are really quite impersonal too. That’s right. You have some say in all of it. Starting right now. You get to decide, and re-decide, how you feel. Your emotions are just messengers. They only want to deliver a message to you. And that is how you feel about what is going on in the present moment. Your feelings change as you grow your own sense of self. You can emotionally evolve out of “bad” emotions. And you can master the ability to feel the really good ones…
Finding the Divine Within We are all on a journey. Each one is unique. Yet the destination is always the same. Each and every one of us has a unique story. A unique purpose. There is a propensity to life. We, as humans, tend to live in patterned behavior. Karma, by its very nature, implies conditioned response. A karmic propensity. Yet there is something else that is riding along with us on our journey. And that is the truth. The truth of who we are. We chose to forget. We chose to go into the darkness, letting go of knowing who we really are. The darkness has a gift for us. The struggles of our past have a wonderful benefit. And that is because we, our egos, feel Joy when we move closer to our truth … when we move closer to the Light within us now. The journey home…
The Journey of Your Soul To get in step with the journey of your Soul can bring such joy, satisfaction and happiness to your everyday life. So often we can be critical of our human nature, observing our ego living out its attempt to create a life for itself. When we have judgement about whether we are “doing it right or not” this can have a sense of self-judgement attached to it. But you cannot do it wrong … ever. You cannot create a wrong decision. That statement might seem “wrong” since there are so many things that are wrong. But in truth, “good” and “evil” are the duality of expression, or rather, the duality of self-perception. In the beginning there was Light. LIGHT. Bright white light. This is the only lasting truth, the root of all creation. And that very same light is at your own core. Your inner self. That…
