Be a light

All we need to do is remain in a state of clarity, gratitude, and acceptance. From this state we simply respond to life as needed. We act in a way that is focused on the well-being of others. This dissolves the ego-mind and we find unity in the spirit of all things. Fear, anger, and greed fade away as we realize the eternal nature of our being.

Remaining in a state of clarity, gratitude, acceptance, takes practice and the practice is simple and joyful. Simply sitting in silence, letting your mind rest with full attention to the process, this is meditation and it's a way to clarity. Devotion to divinity and trusting the higher nature of the cosmos is a way to gratitude. Understanding the smallness of our own perception within the cosmos and seeing the underlying nature as eternal, conscious, bliss, is a way to acceptance.

The awareness gained from this way of life ends suffering. Pain and pleasure, the two-sided coin of sensation, is understood and accepted. Praise and blame become useless ideas of the ego-mind. Desire and aversion become a game in the mind and a veil of illusion. We see that the oneness of spirit is all that is real. We behave with wisdom, compassion, and courage. We play the game of physical existence as a character of light and hope, helping to uplift all, and causing the entire creation to grow in understanding. This is the way to really living as a human being.

By being this way you change the world around you without forcing. Change can not happen in a good way by preaching. People can not truly learn by hearing from the moral low-ground. True spiritual growth doesn't make a sound, it is so subtle. By witnessing a person who knows truth and lives as a light, the seed of transformation can be planted. Continue inquiring within, keep God in your heart, and see yourself in all. This will change your world. Blessings
