When faced with dark shadows of the past it is easy to get sucked in. How do we keep ourselves from drowning in the darkness? This is something I have struggled with for a long time. I tend to slip right into the darkness and get stuck there.
What if when faced with darkness we were to remember that in us lives the light, the shining, healing, loving, beautiful light of God. If we were to remember this, perhaps looking at the darkness isn't so dangerous, perhaps we can see the darkness, but know that our light still shines within, no matter what we've done or who we've been. The light of God lives within in us and nothing we say or do or think can distinguish it....how amazing is that? How reassuring is that? How comforting and freeing!
If we can hold on to the understanding that God' love light shines within us and never leaves us then we can see the dark times and understand that they do not control us or shape us or own us, they are simply experiences we've had that we can let go. Perhaps we can even use our own love light energy to transform them.
What if we were to look at our dark memories and hold them just as they are, as a deep learning experience and then we were to send nothing but love and light into those memories. What would this do to them? What effect would this have on them? Would this transform them into to something new? Would this allow us to release ourselves from the pain, guilt and suffering we've had attached to these experiences? Can we ourselves transform the darkness using the light that lives with in us? Can we ourselves be the light of the world? I say we can, I know we can. Look within to your own light and shine that light to the world around you. Be a transformer of the darkness. Forgive the past, send love into the world, into your life, into your future. It's not hard, we ALL can do it! Love and light to all of you and to the whole world.
