We live within, and, at the same time, living within us... (is) a lower level of consciousness. This "in-the-dark" nature does not want to know itself, and resists any form of inner light that would reveal its nature for what it is in reality: something ceaselessly set against anything that might, by its light, cause it to see the truth of itself. Fortunately - by grace - within us dwells a Living Light: a higher awareness with the power to not only illuminate the dark realm of this unrepentant "self"... but, in so doing, frees us from it at the same time.
