Light and My Journey

In preparing to share my journey on March 29 at the Methodist Church, My 8 Decade Walk With God, I have been thinking a lot about Light. When I was confirmed those many years ago, our minister/pastor gave each of us kids a different Bible verse. Mine was about being a child of Light. Also, I have had numerous experiences of and in Light. Light has played a key roll in my spiritual life all along the way.

A quote from Lao Tse came to my attention this week.

Use the light that dwells within you to regain your natural clarity of sight.

 Somehow this led me think about what I wrote about vortices recently. To be free and able to experience The More, we have to get free of the mind-numbing vortices of fixed thoughts and beliefs. We have to rise above our false assumptions that lead us to believe we already know it all. How can we somehow know Infinite?

We have a light within that is pushing us, nudging us to It and away from our numbness and attachments. Our clarity of thought leads us to see with new eyes, hear with new ears, just as Jesus said.

The spiritual quest is quite an adventure.
