The Way
"Give a man knowledge, and he will see Truth in part.
Show a man the Way, and he will come to know Truth in all he turns his gaze upon."
In the beginning
were light and darkness.
Which came first is up to you;
there is no objective answer to this.
All that possibly could exist,
exists in the mind of the ALL.
All that exists is divided
into separate universes
to allow the existence of
incompatible things.
There is no existence
apart from light in the darkness,
for complete darkness
is VOID.
And so there is at least SOME light
in every possible universe.
But in some universes
light flickers and then returns to darkness.
And then, it is no more.
In some universes
light grows brighter and brighter
until it returns to the ALL.
But some universes
oscillate between darkness and light,
over and over and over.
Now, there are universes that are mostly dark.
And, there are universes that are mostly light.
And, of those that oscillate,
parts are mostly dark,
and other parts are mostly light,
with yet many more parts
residing in between,
moving from darkness to light,
and from light to darkness.
And in the dark universes,
and in the dark parts
of the universes that oscillate,
the light that does shine,
is the light of the ONE.
The ONE is the ALL
when the ALL departs
from its infinite light
and enters the darkness
of a dark universe outside.
Of the universes that return to light,
the light of the ALL,
emanates through the ONE,
so as to return this universe
to the light of the ALL.
And every universe that has light,
has light because of the ONE.
Indeed, only in the light of the ONE
did the universe of the ONE
come into existence.
Now, every separate consciousness
lives within its own universe.
I live in MY universe,
and you live in YOURS.
The proof of this is that we
each see different things
and the things we see
we see differently.
Some live in much darkness.
Some live in much light.
But there is some light in each,
for pure darkness is to not exist.
And whenever light shines
in your universe,
it is the light of the ONE.
In the Day, the light of the ONE
shines through YOU,
because YOU are the ONE
in your universe.
And as you become the ONE
in your universe,
the SUN will rise and the darkness will flee.
But in the Night,
before you are awakened
to the fullness of the ONE within you,
the light still shines
through your belief in its existence,
even of its existence
apart from yourself.
These are the stars,
the lights of the night
that guide you
before light awakens in yourself.
But when light awakens within you,
the beginnings of the redemption
of your universe to light,
it will, in its youth,
battle darkness.
And it will win.
And then it will lose.
And it will shine bright.
And then it will be overcome
by darkness again.
And this is the universe that cycles.
This is the light of the moon,
the light that reveals
the truth of the world
to you in the night.
And during this phase
you will journey from darkness to light,
and from light to darkness again,
until the Day you break free of the cycle.
You see, the moon has no light of its own,
for it only reflects the light
of what cannot be seen in the night.
And even when fully bright,
it still has a fully dark side,
even if out of your sight at the moment.
Now, your universe is YOUR universe.
And each other live you encounter
has its own too.
And these all overlap.
Their superposition creates
the physical world you see.
And this physical world,
though you may think has objective state,
is neither dark nor light on its own.
For only as the object of consciousness
does it even exist.
Now, the great misconception
is that light comes from outside.
And when you are in darkness
this is true, as there is no light in you.
Both the light of the stars,
and the light of the moon,
shine and reflect light
from a source outside yourself.
Bur when the ONE awakens within you,
you will see that YOU are the source
of all light in Your universe.
When you awaken the ONE within you,
You will shine light on all that you see.
And then, what you see will come to light
from the light of the ONE within you.
And in this, you will bring your universe
to light from within.
You will turn darkness to light,
everywhere you go.
And this won’t be dependent
on what happens ‘out there’,
because this light comes from within you
and so cannot be quenched from outside.
But in the world of many,
not all things will be fully bright at first.
For many are the places
where no man shines light.
But You, shine light in the caves and the canyons,
in the darkened woods and the deep sea,
in the places no light has yet found.
Shine your light
that your illumination
may draw the light of other men.
You will come to a time
when the light of the One
shines from you at times,
but at other times
what you see in the world
will draw your attention away
and sway your mind back to darkness.
You are still in the cycle,
though the upswings are bright.
There is a universe where light simply grows,
only ever upwards,
brighter and brighter, forever onward.
And this is where you are going.
This is what your universe will become.
But here in the midst of the cycle,
learn the lay of the land.
Study and practice the Way.
Be a child of the light here,
for the fullness of every being
began as infancy into youth.
Here, use the cycling to your advantage.
Move from Oneness when you are alone,
in the brightness of the Day,
to being the light of the world
in the darkness of night.
Fill your cup with My light of Day,
that you may be ready to shine in the night
when the night does return in its time.
And then return to Me
to become full again,
when your light diminishes.
You want to find a universe of pure light.
You want to put an end to the cycle.
You say the cycle and the darkness of this place
is not good enough for you.
But I tell you,
this is where you are going,
redemption to purity,
to the fullness of light,
and the end of the cycle,
will come.
But for now,
and this is the most important part.
Let me be clear,
there is nothing more important for You:
Love what you see in front of you.
Shine light on what appears dark,
that it may be radiant in your eyes,
that your world may shine.
Love what the children of darkness
see as darkness,
shine your light on her
that she becomes
light in your world.
And of all the universes,
from those dying,
to those ascending,
to those cycling in limbo in between,
they are all right here, right now.
Which one is yours?
It’s whichever you want yours to be.
But if you want your world to return to light,
this is the path.
This is the Way.
