I have seen the dark tunnel by which they say leads the soul to cross over and the body to death. Except, it is not a dark tunnel, it is a great abyss that is endless as it extends out beyond the measures of time and space. Ahead, all that is seen is the light; the driving force that compels and inspires, calling and reaching out. The fixation becomes about the light, to touch it, capture it, feel it, and be near it. It is more than any other to answer the call of the light. You know that you live only to serve the purpose of this light, and, you take on the journey to be joined with it. You forsake the darkness as you realise that there is nothing in comparison to what awaits. The closer to the light, the further from the darkness, and awareness heightens to a new level of illumination. The enlightenment begins as you become more free from the darkness.
Then comes the realization of what the darkness is. it is the good incubation that has allowed for the materialization of the ideals of the awe inspiring light to express itself. It gives the light a home and a place and a purpose, and allows creations of miracles and the emancipation of dreams to come forth into the world.
I look around to study the light and to pay closer attention to what it is in relationship with the darkness. The darkness merges seamlessly with the light and becomes its counterpart. The darkness is not null and void, but rather, is filled with the goodness of possibilities. Pure potential, It is infused with a rich collaboration of promise. The darkness and the light together become the rainbow. The hues of colors become entangled with a prismatic radiance that dance together with the pulsating rhythm that is nearly as hypnotic and captivating as the source of light itself.
I reach out, as finally I am near enough to touch the primary source of light. I am then and now completely connected with the inspiration of all life. I feel the absolute power within me. It is the infusion to total awareness. I am a child of the source of light, and this life force gave me to the darkness, so that I can be incubated in the serenity of a nurturing earth, that I can be the light in the darkness, and share these dreams with the whole world.
We are all children of the light, given to the darkness as gifts, that of the darkness, we might become the manifestation of the power of light and of life. We are the Universe, the voice of one power. The light is so beautiful and perfect, that to touch it and be completely merged with its infinite essence is the most wonderful state of being. it is heaven and pure goodness. To remain in this place of uncompromised light would mean to leave my physical state behind, and to forget about my promise of life to the darkness. It would mean to give up on the darkness, and to forsake my promise of light to the world. I would have had to renounce my heritage and forsake my mission to share the fulfillment of my light with the world. The Great Source of Light that I submit to commanded me to surrender in humility to the call of the darkness and to return to the physical world that I may fulfill my good works in one with the promises of the word, and for the world.
I didn't want to come back. The darkness has become so turmoiled and disturbed and intimidating that I had become terrified of it. I wanted to stay home, there, in the origin of heaven, where I would be safe and warm in the light for all of eternity. If only I could escape and not have to face the ugly truth of an exploited reality. But, I could not run away. It was not yet my time to be completely separated from my physical self. As I would come to learn, the physical self is important, because it allows the light to shine through, and to become the expressed relevance of the experience as one with the ultimate duality.
I have been called to face the darkness as my counterpart, and to remember always that the eternal light reigns within me. If only I could conquer the darkness by making peace with it, then there would be nothing to fear. I can no longer run and hide. I can no longer refuse to accept my calling to serve the world as the messenger of light. But just as the universe is the ultimate union of light and darkness in manifestation of an ideal reality, thus am I, and am nothing without this vessel of darkness that serves to carry me, this temple that houses my gift of light, this earth that nurtures and is inspired by my great and ultimate light; because the light lives within, there is no need to fear the darkness.
Of the Illumination I am Emancipated in the Light.
