World View Perspective: Shining our light into our darkness

 Understanding that we carry our own LIGHT, we can use that LIGHT to flush out our own dark corners and the hidden places where we have put painful aspects of our lives and selves.  No one comes here to live a so called perfect life all the way through.  We are here to grow, shift, change, develop and mature so we can enhance our understanding all along the way.

As things affect us or impact our system on any level, (physically, emotionally, mentally, intellectually, psychologically or spiritually) we can easily stuff those old thoughts, feelings and actions away for safe keeping.  Maybe not revisiting them for years, if ever.  Yet, as we work with our own expanded LIGHT, we can begin to use it to shine into those stuffed old dark corners, especially to heal and rebalance, what we have put there.

With FAITH in our own LIGHT, we can have the old stuff revealed so we can see what may have occurred that we can now heal.    Think of it as taking a flashlight into your basement to see what is really down there. It takes courage, determination, curiosity and a drive to become more WHOLE and COMPLETE to begin digging around, let alone to bring it back up to the surface.

We need to see it to understand it but we also need to feel it to heal it.  It is about our own system and OUR OWN LIGHT and our own willingness to shift, change, grow and expand our understanding.  We have to understand that what may be hiding is very old and very painful but it is not who we are anymore and certainly, not who we are in current day!  If we were abused in our childhood, for example, we may have believed we were that or, at least, deserving of that!  The old pain associated with that may come up to the surface as you investigate your own system, but after you cry it out, shout it out or curse it out, the impact of it will begin to diminish. That's because you are addressing it, feeling it and therefore healing it.

Just like daylight and night time, male and female energy and all the seasons, we carry all of it within us.  It is up to us what we choose when and how to use it.  As the old story goes, 'A young boy asked his grandfather how to navigate in the world.  His grandfather replied, 'Grandson, we each have two wolves within us.  One wolf is angry, negative, jealous, greedy and mean and the other wolf is kind, compassionate, understanding and loving.'  The boy asked, "But which one are we Grandfather?'  The grandfather replied, 'The one we feed'!

In order to transform our lower, angrier natures, we must all shine our own LIGHT right into that scary darkness and allow what shows up to heal by feeling it and then letting it go.  We should not fear our own darkness but rather, embrace it as a place to begin our own healing to clear what is hidden by literally bringing it to LIGHT!

Our LIGHT is there, we can us it and it is GOOD!
