"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 .
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."

Be A Light in the Darkness
By Yvonne
"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 .
Choose 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."

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The person who listens to Christ fills himself with light; and if he imitates Christ, he reclaims himself." ~ St. Thalassios
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."
"Shimmering. Yes, Like swimming in moonlight," that is how the Cherokee Indian, Dane, describes the real world, which is the spiritual world."
"I know that Great Person of the brightness of the sun beyond the darkness. Only by knowing Him one goes beyond death. There is no other way to go..." Svetasvatara Upanishad
"The night shall be no more. They will need no light from lamps or the sun, for the Lord God shall give them light, and they shall reign forever." Rev. 22:5
"...In one of His talks, Jesus said to the people, "I am the Light of the world. So if you follow me, you won't be stumbling through the darkness, for living Light will flood your path."
"All of us
with our unveiled faces, reflect like mirrors the brightness of the Lord, as we
are gradually turned into the image that we reflect."
2 Corinthians 3:18
"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."
The Light Within._ From, "A Testament
of Devotion" by Thomas Kelly. Harper, San Francisco. 1996.
"More and more surely we know that the day of the Lord, when nation shall not rise up against nation neither shall they learn war any more can only be brought about by us, the children of the Light.... " Agnes Sanford, "The Healing Light"
"You are the worlds Light-a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your Light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will give praise to your God." Matthew 5: 14-16
"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
