The Healing Power of Spiritual Light
by Owen Waters
The Buddha spent many years trying to understand evil and
suffering. He eventually concluded that the only real power in
the universe is the Creator and that all else is illusion and
therefore has little or no power in comparison.
He then went on to counsel people to adopt the middle way in
order to avoid being sucked into illusion and bringing
suffering upon themselves. He saw attachment to things of the
world as the source of suffering, so he advised people to be a
part of the world, yet not attached to it.
His words ring as true today as they did 2,500 years ago; and
yet, times have changed. Today's level of popular consciousness
is far beyond that of the relatively dark times of 2,500 years
ago. Today, detachment is still excellent advice, but we can do
so much more now to consciously transform the old ways of
darkness.
Physical darkness is the absence of physical light. The
darkness itself is not real. It is merely an absence of
something that is real. Likewise, spiritual darkness is the
absence of spiritual light. Spiritual darkness itself is not
real. It is merely an absence of something that is real.
Evil is an illusion because a shadow is not a real thing.
Light is the real thing. A shadow is an illusion caused by the
absence of light. The only reality, the only real power, is
light itself.
Darkness can only exist in hiding from the light. When light
shines in, it dissipates the darkness, making it obvious where
the real power lies. Evil has no power in itself. It is only a
lack of light. The real power is, and always has been, with the
light and not with the shadow.
If you sense darkness, add light.
If you sense pain, add the light of healing energy.
If you sense hatred, add the light of love.
If you sense despair, add the light of hope and trust in the
goodness of that from which we came and that to which we are
returning.
The Nature of Spiritual Light
Spiritual light, in its fundamental form, is the omnipresent
consciousness of the Creator. When intertwined with the
unconditional love of the Creator and set into motion, it
manifests as the universe.
Filters can block spiritual light. Such filters include fear,
hatred, judgment, conflict and despair. That which engenders
any of these is, therefore, promoting darkness. Darkness in
consciousness affects mind, body and spirit.
When spiritual light is channeled through the human mind, it
adds to the light of the world. Darkness can be healed
through the addition of spiritual light.
While spiritual light is universally available in all
frequencies, it has to flow through human consciousness in
order to affect the human realm of consciousness. The
effectiveness of sending healing spiritual light into an area
that needs it is subject to the following two laws.
The Laws of Spiritual Light
1. The transformative ability of spiritual light is
proportional to the frequency of the consciousness used to
project it.
Explanation: Conditioning the intent with any agenda lowers
the frequency. Projecting pure spiritual light for the
unconditioned purpose of healing raises the frequency and the
potential.
2. The amount of spiritual light projected is proportional to
the degree of openness of the chakra through which it flows.
Explanation: Your thoughts flow from you to the outside world
through the appropriate chakra. Spiritual practices develop the
chakras, increasing your capability as a channel for spiritual
light.
