The Light That Is within You

God said:

What are you going to do with today, this errant day before you? The sun is out. You might as well rise over the horizon too. Yes, emulate the faithful sun who eagerly arises each day, and arises for the whole world to see. No corner of the world is left out. You can rely on the sun, the sun that does nothing but roll over the horizon. The sun stays still, of course, and it actually is the dais you are on that revolves around the sun. But all is metaphor in the world, so I shall say that the sun arises each day. May you rise with it.

What you see as the sun setting is the sun rising somewhere else. The sun doesn't have to be in your view in order to rise. Staunchly, the sun rises each day, full of its ability to shine on you. Will you not shine back? What makes you so sure that you are a lesser beam?

The sun is the light of love, and so are you. You are as big in love as the sun. The quality of the sun's love is no greater than yours. It's just that the sun's light is more evident than yours. Be like the sun then and rise. Be not afraid to be the rich fulminating light you have been given to be. Come over the horizon of yourself, and step out into the world. Remove any filtering haze. You are to compound the light of the sun. Your purpose is no less than the sun's. You and the One Sun have the same destinies to fulfill.

You are to bring light to the darkness. You are not to be afraid of the darkness. You are merely to light it. Light it with your eyes. Let your eyes light up the world, and let your eyes light up at the phenomenon of the world.

Perhaps you have been emulating the density of Earth when, all the while, you are meant to be a burst of sun. Of course, the truth of the Earth is the same truth as yours. The Earth only appears dense when, all the while, it is full of light. Nothing but light exists. Darkness is a mass illusion. Alas, this illusion has been carried before you as if it were a torch. Imagine the folly of carrying a torch wrapped in dark cloth.

Picture yourself holding the sun in one hand as you would a bowling ball. Your hand will lift the sun ever higher and higher. Your hand will not fall down with the lightness of the sun in it. It will rise up with the sun. The sun will then return to the sky, but the light of the sun will always stay in the hand that held it. Once lit, you are a light that is lit.

Perhaps you have been wearing dark glasses. Remove whatever mist covers your eyes and prevents you from seeing the light you reflect to the world. Each of your fingers is a candle. Each of your eyes is a momentous sun. Your feet are not leaden. They are light too. You are light rising. You are not stuck to the ground. Light is stuck nowhere. Light rises.

You are like a blazing light. You can do nothing but shine. Why disburse gloom when you can just as well shine the light of the sun?

You are all lighted now. From the center of your heart, light has risen. Consume the universe with your light. Let no corner of the world be dark. Start with the corner of the room you are in now and light it so you can begin to see the light that is within you.
