if there is a corner in your house and it is getting dark and dirty… bleak and blurry… dank and moldy… do you avoid it because you are afraid that the environment there will change you or do you walk into the midst of it and create change?… create that which reflects what you are inside?
now… if i took you into the midst of sickness in this world… forget about physical sickness… i am talking about real crippling disease… such as… racism… violence… poverty… rape… alcoholism… drug addiction… sexual addiction… depression… could you change it? if i split you open and revealed everything that is inside of you… would those in that state of being see a greatness that they could become and gladly surrender their current state to get what you have?… or would they laugh because what you are is nothing compared to your grand words and they would dismiss you as fake and continue to live the way they are?
you call this world your home… say you are full of love… say that you wish you could change the world… wish there was peace… love… harmony… tranquility… joy… but when it comes to going to that dirty, dark, damp part of the world to lift it out of it’s state you say that you… such a clean, beautiful, spotless, pristine specimen… do not belong amongst such dirtiness…
you filthy hypocrite… you are clean as white snow on the outside but filthy as a mucky swamp on the inside… you know you are fake… you know that if you were dropped into that environment then you would be changed into… so you gather with others who are clean, beautiful, spotless, pristine… to talk about how nice it would be if the world was just like you… you? be like you?… saying you have a form of cleanliness but then denying it’s power?… saying you have it in you but when you see dirt, you shy away saying it is no place for you?
light conquers darkness… no matter how many times i flip the light switch on… all the darkness leaves the room… a part of the darkness never stays in the corner in defiance of the light… it . all . leaves .
if you were truly clean then a dirty spot would have nothing on you… you would with glee search for the dirtiest places you could find and release that which is inside of you so that you could experience the joy of watching others step into what you have and the fullness of what they could be…
but no… see, you are afraid that they will change you… what surrounds you tells you what you are… instead of you telling what surrounds you what it is…
you say you wish peace and harmony for this world… but only talk about it?… you say if people were like you then the world would be good… but you don’t have what it takes to change a small environment of darkness?… you say this world is your home and you care for it… yet you run from a dark, dirty corner because you are afraid to get soiled?
how can darkness dim light?… does not light shine the brightest in darkness?… in physics class, science has proven that the speed of light increases in correlation to the magnitude of darkness it is in…. the darker the environment, the faster the light travels… if you are truly filled with light, shouldn’t you be lighting up darkness? if you are truly light, why would you cover yourself… wouldn’t you stand on top of a hill so that the whole world could see?
or… is the stark reality… that if your true inner self were exposed… it would simply produce more dark, dirty, damp corners and spots in this world?… is the stark reality… that you are a clean glass on the outside… but dirty on the inside?
why pretend to be big when in reality you are small?
darkness will never disappear until a light is struck… dirtiness will never be cleaned until someone shows up and scrubs it… the crippling diseases of this world will never be wiped out until someone who knows they are not affected by them, steps into the middle of them… and shows who they are inside… thereby showing everyone else what they have the potential of becoming… and thereby bringing them into the Mastery of their Greatness…
the wise… the healthy… the clean… the pristine… they don’t need me… the seem to be just fine…
bring me the hurt… the sick… the lonely… the depressed… the addicted… the abused… the broken… i want them… so that i can give myself to them and they can become me… i am beyond hurt, sickness, loneliness, depression, addiction, abuse, brokeness… so when it touches me… it simply disappears… my light snuffs out darkness… and in turn… my light heals those around me…
bring me just one… and i will give my life for them… because i know that i cannot lose it for i am beyond darkness… i am light…
but you will simply read this and do nothing… so… i must go to where the most hurt, sick, addicted are to be found… and give of myself to them… so that as they feed upon me… they see what they could become… and then my ceiling becomes their floor…
