"What is this darkness, o Holy One?" the little soul asked.
"That which you are not," I replied, and the soul understood.
And so this the soul did, removing itself from the All, yea, going even onto another realm.
And in this realm the soul had the power to call onto its experience all sorts of darkness. And this it did.
Yet in the midst of all the darkness did it cry out, "Father, Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?" Even as have you in your blackest times. Yet I have never forsaken you, but stand by you always, ready to remind you of Who You Really Are; ready, always ready, to call you home.
Therefore, be a light unto the darkness, and curse it not.
And forget not Who You Are in the moment of your encirclement by that which you are not. But do you praise to the creation, even as you seek to change it.
And know that what you do in the time of your greatest trial can be your greatest triumph. For the experience you create is a statement of Who You Are-- and Who You Want To Be....
IT is a good explanation of the relatiionship between good and evil, light and dark. That is not a relationship at all but rather a complimentary wholeness. They support each other in existence.
Also that we create our reality as we see fit. So the one group will say we are light, another will say we are energy, another will say we are sound, but everyone through their own mythology will say the same thing, giving it another symbol or anology. Many will SEE exactly what they believe confirming their belief to them.
Now the scientific sceptic may ask. What is reality? Reality is that which forms to create everyone's individual perception of reality. Reality thus is that unconditional attribute we call the field, God, love, light, because it is the essence that creates idividual thought. So in a way one can say that reality is a individual illusion created by the observer but there is no one reality. The quantum physisist can only see the building blocks of reality but, because of its volatile nature he will never see reality itself
