Transform darkness into the Light. There is only one problem in our lives and that is we believe the order of life comes from us. We believe we are # 1. We have spent our entire lives trying to hold our lives in place according to our order. If we are # 1 there can't be anything bigger that us.
Anything that displeases us disrupts our order. We are meant to map out the cosmology of God's life. The light reveals all the forces that manifest themselves in and around us. We want to do good but we no more set out to do what is right than we meet the antithetical force that prevents us and pulls us back and the pain brings us full circle. Right and wrong is individual to each person. We need to reach the point where we see we have good intentions but go to sleep and do wrong, that our powers are overcome by other powers. This reveals that the power overcoming us is wrongness. Darkness supplants our wish for rightness with itself. We seek to save ourselves from the part of ourselves that forgets that we are not the only being on the planet.
There was a woman who knew that the order of her life was established on the wrong thing. One day because she never gave up, during an encounter with a dark creature she fell down and felt 2 stones and when the creature came to get her the two stones came together and light was born which was greater than the dark creature that lived in that world. When light establishes order nothing can fail.
Awareness determines values and puts everything into right order. Two men were traveling the desert with a sack of diamonds. They came upon an oasis. One left the diamonds there and filled his pouch with water the other kept his diamonds and perished from lack of water. The awareness of where a person is determines the value of things. Value is what determines the order of things. All order is set up by values, which is established by awareness. Power proceeds from the highest order to the lowest. Power flows to the lowest, which receives the brunt of the power instead of the transformation of it. This flow of power that establishes order has to be the pinnacle, the determining power. Since awareness determines order it is the bases and the passage of power. It is something that is living and gives Light, that which enters and reveals. Awareness (conscious) is what determines all order. Unless order starts with # 1 it is a false order and is otherwise corrupt.
There is inside of us a little living light. This Christ light is the order and is established by which and through which creation stands. Light is living and gives light and it is the secret center of a human being. All human beings are connected to the order that light gives. Our awareness of it places us in it. It is the bases of our existence. We cannot separate ourselves from any part of the vine and the branch. It is the real root. We are not the vine (Light) but part of it.
Light finds you and says "Wake up"! It is not Truth punishing us it is the order of our lives. We need to change your relationship with the vine and the branch. All pain is our responsibility. Real rebirth is about replacement of the present mind and heart by allowing the Light to establish itself in us. We have to see that we don't want the Light to be active in us because it reveals where we are not right.
There once was an island of shadows. Shadows superimposed themselves onto everything. Everyone lived in fear. One man realized that unless he got light on the island they were all doomed. No one would go with him. If we do what is right, it is right for everyone but it costs. Don't let anything else but the Light set your course. As we give ourselves up and are aware we allow the Light to show us what is right and what is wrong. The light will establish the order for us. The Light chooses the light and it chooses to sacrifice itself for the sake of the Light. Remember the Light is more important than the state that is dominating us. We can let the Light breathe and live for us.
We are not on this earth for ourselves but for the sake of all beings. Real charity is connected to compassion. Suffering in another is part of our very own suffering. We have nothing to meet suffering with except with hatred and resistance. Awareness erases the idea of a personal self. Reordering changes a human being and establishes relationship with life. Our responsibility is to see our part in the suffering of others in the world. God's work is the sacrifice of what we want to do in favor of what is right. There is a resurrection of the human heart. The darkness that we live in isn't the only world. Part of our lives is to sail our ship looking for the Light. If we do not give ourselves up for what is right we cannot change. To do what is right costs.
If we want God to be the heart of us, we are going to have to serve the Light. Wish to work and watch. To love they neighbor, as thyself requires a person to give up him or herself for the sake of another. This becomes our wind, power, peace and strength we have been looking for. Give everything to it and it will give everything back to us.
