The Light Within: See It... Believe It....Be It

We are so often focused on acquiring things that exist outside of ourselves, that we lose faith in the fact that everything we will ever need or desire has its beginning on the inside. We need to first acknowledge that all things exist inside of us, and then we can make a concerted effort to let whatever is present inside come out. Once that happens our realization of and contribution to the universal law of abundance will increase exponentially. There is a biblical verse which come to mind that might shed more light on what it is that I'm trying to convey, and hopefully it will perpetuate our willingness to view life from the inside out.

The verse reads like this: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Well this may seem a bit abstract because we don't literally see the light inside, and most of the time we don't even consider the fact that it exists. However; it is this very light, and our willingness to share it, that is the basis for supplying all our needs and making manifest our every desire. The first step is of course to believe that this inner light exists, and then to see how that belief has been created on the inside and can be made manifest on the outside.

There's also a book entitled 'Princess Javonne  A Story of Overcoming Obstacles',* which I feel  addresses how we can uncover the light that illuminates both our seeing and believing. In the book we find three obstacles that prevent the main character, Princess Javonne, from reaching the elusive 'Palace of Possibilities'. These obstacles are: 'The River of Fear', 'The Mountain of Doubt', and The Wall of Worry, and they are the very same obstacles that blur our dreams and desires and cause us to doubt our ability to achieve them. Now although this is a childrens' book, I recommend that all of you get a copy of it for your child or yourself. By reading it you will allow Princess Javonne to share her journey toward understanding that we can only see what we believe to be true, and that the key to our belief is becoming aware of the endless possibilities and dissolving the barriers that stand in the way of our  realizing our dreams and achieving our goals.

We all have a light that exists inside, and our ability and conviction to allow it to shine, both inside and out, is predicated on seeing that light and being compelled to use it to brighten the lives of others. There are many ways in which we can make that happen. We can say hello to a stranger, write a letter to a friend, or read a passage from a book to a loved one and feel the mutual joy that unfolds. We can hug our child for no reason, give a dollar to someone who asks us and not judge how they might spend it, or pick up and discard something we didn't drop, and actually feel how the universe responds with joy and thanksgiving. We can walk with a friend to a mutual destination or stop in the middle of doing something to thank God for always providing us with more than enough, and then be a witness to the brightness that ensues as a result. We can even write a movie script, choreograph a dance, or sing a song in a crowded elevator, and know that an illumination, in some form or fashion, is about to occur. Whatever creative act we can imagine we can make manifest. All we need to start is doing the simple stuff and begin realizing that what we thought was impossible is really simpler to achieve than we could have ever imagined. 

We are the light of the world ya'll. Let's see it...believe it...be it, and then prepare ourselves for the bountiful blessings to come.

I want to thank Javonne for allowing me to share her light,  I want to thank each of you for seeking the light inside, and I implore all of us to stay encouraged knowing that all good things will come to pass because of the Grace of God and because of our efforts to make it so.
