Lovely morning.Light has only been freely available to us for the last 100 years or so, maybe even less, since there have been major wars.Since prehistoric times, people have discovered the use of fire, sometimes to eat, sometimes to keep warm, sometimes to protect themselves from approaching animals, sometimes to worship their gods, sometimes to celebrate the harvest, sometimes to mourn their ancestors, and sometimes to walk the streets at night. Perhaps more than anything else, people have gathered together where there is fire to warm their hearts.
We too may have a warm light in our hearts as we go about our daily lives. There may be many people around you who are helped by that warm light. Your own radiance may be helping someone else, even if they don’t realize it. Or you may be healing under the shining light of someone you love. It may seem that we are living alone, but at the root of our being, we are being helped and supported by others. It is natural to rely on the warm light of someone else.
However, it is necessary to always keep your own axis in mind. If you rely too much on someone else, you will not know how to move forward on your own path if that person’s light suddenly goes out. Always keep a light in your mind to illuminate the path you should take. That way, when we make a mistake or when something happens that we never imagined, we will be able to come up with a way to solve that problem within ourselves.
If we can be the kind of people who can turn on the light for ourselves, and if we can be the kind of people who can turn on the light for others when they are lost, and if there are more of us like that, the world will be a brighter place and we will be able to solve even the toughest problems.
