My Function as Light

My function as light: 

as told in A Course in Miracles, my only function is the one God gave me, and further that I am the light of the world. This sounds like a very grand assignment, God directed, as if my personal dharma has already been assigned. And maybe it has, although it seems to have taken me a lifetime to finally arrive here. Or perhaps my only real mission was the 60 years it took to reveal myself as light. Honestly, I really don't know...but I do know that the nature of light is to extend itself through darkness. 

and so now,

that's my only function.

however it unfolds.

Light of the World

Light of the World: 

the world I see is a projection of the mind, an illusion, my own deepest thoughts shown outward, as well as the collective beliefs we all share together. That's the premise of A Course in Miracles and the first lessons of the workbook are designed to help us see that this is so. I often consider those early lessons as a path of negation, first taking away our conceptual awareness of the world, and only then offering a visionary return to the light of heaven. Here, heaven is a mind-state, not an actual destination, but the reality of a place we right now reside once we awaken. 

and forgiveness is our way of awakening.

cutting through illusions.

so my only function here is to forgive my own projections, recognizing the shadows I've cast upon the world and sincerely, gently...

see you as you truly are. 

forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. 

I see you, 

I love you.

Light of the World

Light of the World: 

there's a reason we see the world as we do. Yoga and Buddhism have keen psychological insights into this called the kleshas, poisons of the mind, and they are explained as an entrapment of our perceptions, keeping us limited in our true vision. A Course in Miracles simply explains it as fear and that virtually all of our fears are caused by the thought of separation. 

we believe that we are apart from others.

each of us alone.

afraid.

and with this we see a fearful world.

yet the traditions above also claim that there's a light within us all, a sense of divinity, love. Fear, thoughts of separation, and most of all the grievances we hold towards others act as clouds that keep this light from shining to the world. 

here's all we're asked to do -

through forgiveness we are healed, clouds that obscure our light part, and we now shine brightly to the world at large. It is that simple, truly so, but not always easy, as our grievances have a mighty hold and are stubborn to let go. 

but we have a lifetime to practice.

beginning right now. 

and it's always now my friends. 

always.

Peace, Eric
