When you see snow on tree branches, you admire the snow-covered branches. It's a lovely sight. Yet, after a while, you may not even notice the snow-covered branches. They get taken for granted.

When the sun shines brightly on the selfsame snow-covered branches, only then do you see sparkles. The sparkling captivates you. The snow on the branches is the same with or without the sun's light shining on it. But with the sun's light, you see what already was, and yet, because of the sun's light helping you, enlightening you, wide-eyed you see the glistening of the snow. The sun did not add anything to the snow except to simply shine its light on it. The sun didn't change the snow though later it may melt it, and then the meltingness reveals even more of the truth of the snow, that it is water, after all. Of course, water from the Heavens! Pure water from the Heavens, yet simply water, the sea of life.

As you have guessed, I use this comparison to show that My children are most often seen without the sun's light shining on them. The overt physicalness of My children, is readily seen. The Golden Light that they in truth are is not. It is a fact that what exists is not always seen, even when the Invisible is Reality far more than the visible. The visible is not Reality. It is only a shell of it known by the five senses. The five senses are definitely useful, yet they are not everything.

My children, seen in better light, seen in the sunlight of My eyes, ah, then they are really seen. My children aren't different. They have not been transformed. Only, as it is, in My light, they are seen, perhaps for the first time, as the essence of Who they always were. Only now you are seeing what you did not see before. You can hear about it, understand it, even accept, yet Reality cannot be described in its full glory. Until your eyes (rather, your heart) do see, you have not seen. The good news is that your vision will grow, and you will see, and you will be so happy.

I know you wish you could see with My eyes right now. This is something for you to wish for, maybe even more than for a bright shining new car, beloveds. By no means, feel sad that you want a new car. I know its importance for you. Yes, may you have it. Relax. You don't have to make a choice of one or the other.

The only thing is that you are surrounded with cars and advertising photos of cars. However, seeing Human Beings as I do see them is not advertised very much. Oh, perhaps once in a while, you see pictures of the Great Ones and saints and angels and such with halos around them. In the world, these halos simply do not get the press shining new cars do. That's how it is, isn't it?

This is why you need reminders. Until the time when you see for yourself, keep those reminders in front of you. Keep thinking about the day of your improved vision to come. And, in the midst of your interactions in the world, remind yourself that everyone, everyone without exception, everyone in front of you, regardless of appearance, shines in this selfsame bright light.

Actually, the bright light is more than a halo. Everyone is totally bright light. You are too, beloveds. You are too. I see you as you really are, and I receive you into My heart and the company of the Great Ones.
