Shining your light in dark times is your work

Posted on February 17, 2021February 17, 2021

And you say under you breath, “Oh, but I’m nothing.”

We say you do not know the enormity of who you are. Everyone is unique, stop looking to others for what might be inside. Stop looking for others, or outside, to validate your work. Validate from inside. Your gifts are so unique and delicate, no one can tell you what they are. If they do they might limit your consciousness of what could fully bloom. The blossom is tender, and it must unfold by itself.

People fail to see how much private work is done to really bring anything out in the world. A friend of ours has worked 30 years on creating a course for his clients. The material for the course only took about 5 years to develop, but the inner work, which all fail to see, took 30 years and some of them were excruciating.

It’s in this very private inner work that we discover, nurture, harness, balance, and become one with, that enables your light to shine. Like with our above friend, it can take many years.

It’s in this very private inner work where you discover the enormity of everything down inside, your good and your not so good. But getting to know all this is your training for shining your light.

Again, each of us are unique, some will be on stage, others will be shining in community work, others will be carers bringing light to what might have been someone’s plight or dire existence. It does not matter, because as you move forward, in your own private way, others can’t resist the vacuum you create behind you. Your wake will displace them, pull them forward, create a new existence, because everything has changed around them, even if it’s ever so slight. So, even if your work is silent, invisible, or on a grand stage, you moving forward will be a tonic for those in your field of consciousness. A tonic that might call them to choose a new way, a new path, a new awareness. And their moving displaces others and the ripple effect is underway.

So, we implore you to keep at your work, especially in the darkness that is around in these times. Any tiny step forward creates the ripple. A ripple of awakening, self responsibility, choosing for health, wellbeing and environment rather than more money, more toys, more, more, more.

This all starts with you. And seemingly out of nowhere your light will manifest.

"There is hardly a simpler law in physics than that according to which light is created by empty space’. 
~ Einstein

Warmest regards,
Brad and Caroline.
