Lady Yasodhara on the living light, the lack of livingness of today.
I am the Living Light. I am that which is between you, within you, around you, underneath you, above you.
I am alive - the true sense of alive - the spirit that grows in the ethers of the heart.
I am That I am - spirit in matter - the living heart.
I am that, you are that - when you open your heart, when you awaken your light, when you say no to evil within and without - then you are that.
Evil? Evil is that which veils, hides or buries the light. Evil these days can be the kindly expression that is words alone - without any heart. It is misleading, and the vulnerable are hurt. Evil is the overflowing personality that drowns another person in their own selfish needs. This is the evil we deal with - the day to day confrontation of the personality with itself, with its falsities, with its glamours and illusions of importance and self-importance.
Deal with your glamours - violet fire them away. Deal with your illusions - the flame of ascension burns them away. You lift, you clear, your baggage drops away, you are free!
If you want to live, really live - not just like a shell - then do away with your own non-living self, that which is darkened and old, from old experiences, lives and lessons.
To truly live, you must revivify all that is within you, and you must discard all within you that is not alive.
Do it now, and be free!
In the light of Yasodhara
