Seeking Light

The human journey is about reaching for the Light, the goodness that each soul strives for, regardless of their religion or spiritual beliefs.  Goodness is the end goal and when every soul can strive for goodness, then humanity will have crossed the abyss and the need for suffering will end.  It is that simple.  
 

Suffering and darkness cause confusion and triggers our painful imprints from the past.  The result, we wallow in our suffering and see only the darkness around us. It is when we strive to do good and see the good in all of life’s circumstances that real change begins to occur at a very powerful level.  While most cannot perceive the results immediately, its effects reverberate and mutiply in ways that are beyond comprehension.  

In so many spiritual teachings we are taught that darkness serves the Light, meaning it surfaces that which must be transmuted. It is the unsurfaced darkness in each one of us, that causes the perception that darkness prevails, but in truth nothing that is repressed can hide from the Light.  All darkness is a result of humanities fear-based responses to the world.  When we confront our own darkness, we bring the world one step closer to freedom from suffering.  

It is each person’s individual journey to achieve this objective.  This is why it is so crucial for us to strive for goodness and to see the good in all, for their darkness, all darkness is but a servant of The Light!  And, this is why in all spiritual teachings the only selfish act permitted is the work upon the self!  Starting right where you are, not worrying about anyone else’s journey.  The act of self-reflection and self-examination is the greatest gift we can give to our loved ones, friends and humanity at large.  

Just imagine if we all focused on this, what a different world it would be.
