"The Harvest is Great; the Workers are Few" ~ Be A Light Worker
Having been interested in the concept of Light for many years and having a passion for learning about Truth, Life, Love, and discovering the glories of God and His "Kingdom," I want to share some of what I have learned with you. If you are on the spiritual path and are interested in Jesus as the Light of the world, please read on! I hope you won't pass this up and think it is just more "religious stuff".
I love to learn and I love to teach as well. I especially love to spread the word that Christ is the Light of the world. It is my conviction that Christ is the "highest" Life... the most highly evolved being (and much more!) who ever lived...and He showed us how to live the highest Life also. That is, to become Light and Love and live in the Reign of Light...in the heavenly realms . This Reign of God operates not according to the law, but transcends the religious law and transcends religion... even Christianity ...... if Christianity means following a set of rules rather than BEING like Christ.
And so like a sunflower I am always turning toward the Light and travel along the path to the Heavenly Places. I love to spread the good news that all are children of the Light and that the Reign of God is already here. It is only a matter of discovering this greatest of all Truths; of believing it and receiving it! The sooner we discover this truth, the sooner we will have the Reign of God manifest on this earth.
Here is a quote from one of my favorite authors, Thomas Keating, from "The Mystery of Christ: The Liturgy as Spiritual Experience."
"The joy of Christmas is the
intuition that all limitations to growth into higher states of
consciousness have been overcome. The Divine light cuts
across all darkness, prejudice, preconceived ideas, prepackaged values,
false expectations, phoniness and hypocrisy. It presents us with the
truth. To act out of the truth is to make Christ grow not
only in ourselves, but in others. Thus, the humdrum duties and
events of daily life become sacramental, shot through with eternal
implications. This is what we celebrate in the liturgy. The *kairos,*
'the appointed time,' is *now.*
According to St. Paul, 'Now is
the time of salvation, ' that is, now is the time when the
whole of the divine mercy is available. Now is the time to risk
further growth. To go on growing is to be at the cutting edge of
human evolution and of the spiritual journey. The divine action
may turn our lives upside-down; it may call us into various forms of
service. Readiness for any eventuality is the attitude of one who
has entered into the freedom of the Gospel. Commitment to the new
world that Christ is creating - the new corporate personality of
redeemed humanity - requires flexibility and detachment: the
readiness to go anywhere or nowhere, to live or to die, to rest or to
work, to be sick or to be well, to take up one service and to put down
another. Everything is important when one is opening to Christ-consciousness.
This awareness transforms our worldly concepts of security into the
security of accepting, for love of God, an unknown future.
The greatest safety is to take that risk. Everything else is
dangerous."

Jesus Pattern for a Happy Life
The Beatitudes
When you begin to show ever so little willingness to find your light, offer that willingness to the Holy Spirit. Do it consciously, deliberately. Holy Spirit, I am willing to find my own light.; If that is scary, do it anyway. Your own light is for you. It is the Father's gift to you. You can trust it to bring you joy. You can be free to enjoy your own light. If you are willing, the Spirit will rush to show you his shining within your own spirit.

"Be
ever so careful, as you may be a child of the Light. Wherever,
there is Light, the Darkness wants to put it out. And oh!
There is so much Darkness around.
The children, they see the Light. They see the Light and know the Light
and the Light gives them hope. However, they see it very dimly at
first, as, they do not believe it or trust it. There is so much
Darkness around them. Moreover, as they continue in the Light,
their hearts open up to grow. As their hearts open to grow, then,
do their minds and they learn. However, the Darkness does not want
them to learn for as they learn they become increasingly open to the
Light. This is the way that the Light has created us to be.
We start out like a flower bud and as we receive that which we need for
growth, the growth comes and we blossom.
And oh! The children of the Light are so ready when they are young
to see the Light. Be careful and vigilant so that the Darkness
will not overtake them or you. You are a gateway to the Light from
which all Darkness flees.
Let, these words resonate in your heart, mind and spirit.
"Continually, ask for God's wisdom and guidance." God
will provide it for this is His promise to all that seek Him.
People of the Light understand intuitively. We are scattered.
But, there are many. We need to let the other know that we
recognize them. "
You, dear sensitive one, are a Child of the Light .

" I choose Light, but too many times, it is Dark to which I
surrender.
In the beginning all was Dark. It was Light that came and
conquered the Dark. Dark will not rest until it conquers the Light
to which it is always attracted. But Light, which I choose will
always win out. I choose to be aware and know that which I choose.
As, I choose to go with the Light, I trust in the Creator to give me the
strength to follow my decision. The Creator is not only my
strength but also my joy. There is no greater to follow. God
the Creator is the Light which always overcomes the Dark."

Visualize God's Healing Light in your Body/Mind
By Joanna Cherry
We look in the mirror one day--each one of us--and wake up. Eskimos, Brazilians, Scots, Americans, Indians, Nigerians, Russians, Australians, Israelis--we realize we are divinity, a being of light. We no longer deny the truth. Our hearts swell with joy!
Spontaneously we see all our lives, what we’ve been--slaves and slave owners, teachers and followers, saints and tyrants. We cry about our cruelties, but finally understanding comes. We have explored this plane with all its glory and terror, sorrow and joy. The purpose of each of our roles was the precious fruit of wisdom. And what a play it has been! A grand, sprawling adventure.
We forgive ourselves.
Throwing our arms around one another, tears again as mother and child reconcile, husband and wife, ex-spouses, estranged siblings, friends, co-workers, black with white with red with yellow, Christians with each other and with Moslems with Buddhists with Hindus with Sikhs; Israelis with Palestinians; Serbs with Kosovians with with. . . until all is reconciled between every person and every group.
We who govern, from small towns to nations, begin--at long last--to act for the highest good of all people and all of life. We forge a lasting peace between nations. We reveal the dark secrets of government oppression and omission, for there may be no more such secrets. And we are forgiven for the past.
Not a single person slips through the cracks. Every child, every man and woman is fed and warm, clothed and housed. We give not only physical needs; we work to restore every person to self-honor and wholeness. All orphaned children, and those who have been abused, are welcomed into loving, caring, healthy families.
We who are wealthy use our wealth to bless others. Our goal: the empowerment, freedom, joy, and fulfillment of every being.
We of banks and other financial institutions work to bring people and nations out of debt. We of corporations share our wealth with employees, and serve the good of humanity and the environment. Gradually, the money system gives way to higher ways of exchanging energy. People are able to leave unwanted work and fulfill their purposes in ease, joy and abundance.
Media share the good news! Movies and television shows are uplifting and enlightening.
In the prisons, we inmates become enlightened and begin to serve the world, and are pardoned and freed. We the insane regain wholeness of mind and heart. We the patients in hospitals, realizing how and why we created illness or accident for ourselves, gain the knowledge of self-healing and walk out.
Beautiful parks take the place of these sad institutions.
We who have lost loved ones are able to communicate clearly with them and realize they are still alive. Grief disappears! In the lower astral plane, all of us who are lost, in limbo or a hell of our own belief, are assisted into joy and freedom.
Our Vision For Earth: Being
There we have forgiven ourselves, each one, to the depths of our souls. We have forgiven everything and everyone else, all events and all circumstances of every life.
Family life is transformed; parents and children love and honor one another, and promote what is best and highest for each family member. Women are in charge of their reproductive faculties; only when a child is desired is it conceived. Each child born is lovingly raised.
Love relationships are between two whole and conscious people; heartbreaks are a thing of the past.
Men and women are recognized as perfect equals, expressing polarized aspects of divine nature. This equality extends to every arena of life.
Each religion of the world fully honors all others, as well as the teachings of wise people. We know Goddess/God is One, that spiritual reality is beyond any religion. We are each centered, first and foremost, on the divinity within.
Manifestation is instant and for highest good, so all know joyous, divine abundance. Buildings and all needs are created from concentrated thought.
Lawyers, doctors, psychiatrists, policemen--no one knows of these, for they no longer exist. Laws are obsolete, as we want only happiness for each other.
Our cities are a paradise mix of sacred geometry structures, beautiful trees, plants and flowers. Everything is beautiful.
Immortality is the natural way for each person, along with continuous beauty and health.
Travel by thought or by non-polluting ships has replaced the traffic jams of the past!
We communicate telepathically at will.
Our animal friends are treated as younger brothers and sisters. We don’t kill or eat them, but share a loving bond.
Our weather is mild and peaceful, and cataclysms are no more.
Earth’s purposes in the universe are known to us, and we work to fulfill them. Ours is a planet of complete peace, light and joy, one with God in full realization.
We plan and carry out joyful projects of music, exploration, communication with other star systems, and many other things unimagined in the 21st Century.

So Sensitive?!
Why Sensitivity
Is A Gift
by Carolyn Coleridge, MSW
(Reprinted with permission from
the author)
You are too sensitive. Don't
be so sensitive! Many people on the spiritual path have heard this
criticism over and over again. It is usually meant as a put-down
to someone who has a high sense of intuition and a sixth sense
'knowing'. This comment is usually stated with disdain and
contempt as a major flaw in an individual's personality. In fact
many Light workers have heard these words, especially as children
and it has caused them to close down this gift. "Toughen
up. You need thicker skin", usually follows as a comment
quickly after to shame and dismiss the individuals' perceptions.
Sensitives are usually quite gifted intuitive spirits as they pick
up the less perceived sensations of life. Lightworkers on the
planet have heard this comment a lot because they are generally
trying to raise their vibrations as they evolve towards spiritual
mastery. If you are on a conscious spiritual path you become more
intuitive. Intuition, I believe, is God's voice. To hear it you
must be sensitive. Spirit speaks to us daily in quiet
synchronistic whispers. Sensitives have the ability to perceive
the subtle nuances of truth in the physical plane. Hopefully they
pick these signals up, follow them and begin to connect to their
soul's conscious growth and begin to live more fulfilling and
abundant lives.
Lightworkers,
who are Spiritual teachers and healers, or those seeking truth,
have a conscious plan to raise the vibration of the planet and
bring in more positive qualities of kindness, goodness, love and
compassion. They also have to balance the warring yin and yang
energies that are on the planet. Yin, the more feminine principle
is receptive, intuitive, nurturing and healing. Yang, the more
active principle is assertive, pioneering, instinctual and
creative. When harmonious, these energies dance together
manifesting birth and death, darkness and light. In conflict they
create, evil, abuse, terror and chaos. You must have both energies
co-creating to move toward wholeness in the physical realm.
As a psychotherapist and healer for the last ten years, I have
noticed that sensitive people are often the ones who are
emotionally abused by others. Their sensitivity is viewed as a
weakness. Intuitive sensitives are sometimes the kinder spirits
who fight for animals' rights, want to spread peace or speak out
against child abuse. Since they have been criticized for just
being who they are, they often close down and lead sad isolated
lives of denying emotions in their soul. The bullies and the
abusers, entities that are heralding the dark energies, don't want
to lose their ego oriented existence, so they harass the
sensitives so they can keep the veil of darkness alive. The ego
thrives on chaos. The sensitives are here to pull the curtain back
on the wizard, to reveal the trickster and shine a light on the
darkness. Mother Earth and Father God are asking us to start
speaking the truth to restore heaven on earth. It is the mission
of many; you have heard the call. Now it is time to honor your
gift of sensitivity. Sensitive people will bring this planet
towards a higher vibration. So we need the armies of sensitives to
trust their guts, create their dreams, fulfill their missions and
listen to the intuitive voice of God and not the abusive voice of
the darkness. You were made sensitive for reason. Be proud of it!
The universe is supporting you, but sensitives must protect
themselves from the harsh energies on the planet. Here are some
easy ways to do this.
1) Trust your gut and start to believe the still small voice that
is inside of you. Praise yourself when you intuit something and
you were right. Always honor your spirit.
2) Speak your truth. Sensitives must not hold in their emotions.
It becomes toxic to their bodies as negative feelings lay dormant
in the body temple. Let out the negativity in constructive healing
ways.
3) Protect yourself from negative energies. This can be removing
toxic people from your life. Getting out of abusive relationships
or situations. Trying to be more positive and inspiring to others
instead of critical and pessimistic.
4) Meditate regularly, with grounding exercises. Meditation raises
your vibrations and heightens your intuition. You begin to get
stronger with your gut instincts and receive more messages on how
to create your life purpose. As you live your life purpose, you
feel less tired and depressed and more uplifted. Your sensitivity
becomes a gift as you now have a focus and reason for being here.
5) Connect with God. Say prayers and ask God questions. What do
you want me to learn today? What is the higher purpose of this?
How can I serve? God likes to hear us speak to him/her. I believe
he created us so she could see his/her own expression and become
more inspired… so don't leave him hanging!
6) Receive energy work. Reiki, pranic healing, acupuncture, or
massage. Sensitives must work with their energies and remove
toxins that build up in their energy fields. It is like a shower
for your auric field. Sage and incense also clears energy in your
home, since sensitives have a tendency to be psychic sponges, you
need to remove the maladaptive energies. Don't forget about
getting into nature, a great energy clearer.
7) Find your life purpose. You are sensitive for one reason..to
hear the source. God has a plan for everyone on this planet and it
mostly coincides with yours. The more sensitive you are the more
likely you have a heightened antennae to the source. Don't cloud
that transmission. Tune in to KGOD- Keep Good Open Dialogue. It's
a great Radio station that can help you feel fulfilled -. receive
your daily inspirational messages.
8) Keep the Yin and Yang Balanced, especially the qualities of
Gratitude and Forgiveness. Gratitude, puts you in a positive space
to attract better outcomes. And like the Yin energy, pulls in
better life outcomes. Forgiveness is about actively releasing
negative energy. To give forth. The yang is about actively
releasing stagnant emotions. Energy must be in balance for
lightworkers and sensitives. There has to be a flow. Leave the
swamps for the egoic alligators of the world. Stuck in their own
muck.
With the light acceleration on the planet, sensitivity is
absolutely necessary to listen and pull down the higher
vibrations. These vibrations are full of light and love and of
beautiful qualities .To be an open channel to divine expression,
whether it be art, music, writing or inspiration you must be
sensitive. So next time, someone criticizes you by saying,
"You are so sensitive!" Say yes, I need to be to hear
God's voice, it is the quiet whisper on the planet and I don't
want to miss my loving instructions. Unlike you I don't want to
mute the sound! Okay you can be a little nicer than that, but they
will get the point. Yes I am soo sensitive that I hear and live
the truth. Much love and blessings lightworkers!

Christ of Colossians, "the first-born of all creation . . . in him were created all things in heaven and earth: everything visible and invisible . . . he holds all things in unity" (Col. 1:15-17) This Christ is "the radiant light of God’s glory and the perfect copy of God’s nature, sustaining the universe by God’s powerful command" (Heb. 1:3) This is the cosmic ruler to whom "every knee should bow in heaven and earth and under the earth" (Phil. 2:10) Only the quest for such a Christ, Fox believes, can free the church from its captivity to a truncated, anthropocentric "personal savior Christianity."

"Meister Eckhart wrote, "As thou art in church or cell, that same
frame of mind carry out into the world, into its turmoil and its fitfulness." Deep within us all there is an
amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking Voice, to which we may continually return. Eternity is at our
hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home unto Itself. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly committing ourselves in body and soul, utterly and
completely, to the Light Within, is the beginning of true life. It is a dynamic center, a creative Life that presses to birth within us. It is a
Light Within that illumines the face of God and casts new shadows and new glories upon the human face. It is a seed stirring to life if we do not
choke it. It is the Shekinah of the soul, the Presence in the midst. Here is the Slumbering Christ, stirring to be awakened, to become the soul
we clothe in earthly form and action. And He is within us all."

of Devotion" by Thomas Kelly. Harper, San Francisco. 1996.

"Even in this life the Spirit transforms us... When Moses turned towards the Lord, his face shone in the reflection of God: when the believer turns toward the Lord Jesus and contemplates his glorious face, he is transformed into an ever brighter image of that same glory. And this irradiating power which transforms us into beings of light only comes from Christ because He himself is wholly penetrated by that Spirit. Durrwell, The Resurrection
"Let us praise Him then, for His life in our spirits increasing in us the consciousness of being His children, Light of His Light, life of His life..... How easy this becomes when we know that our bodies are made of His own energy and full of His own Light." - from "The Healing Light" Agnes Sanford
