Once upon a time, there was a soul that knew it was light.
This was a new soul and, therefore, eager to experiment.
"I am light!" he said, "I am light!"
However, all the knowledge and all the words about what it is could not replace the experience of it.
And there was nothing but light in the realm from which this soul emerged. Every soul was great, every soul was magnificent, and every soul shone miraculously in the light of My Kingdom.
And so the little soul with reason was like a candle in the sun.
In the midst of the greater light - of which he was a part - he could not see himself nor experience himself as Who Is and What he really Wants to Be.
At one time, this soul longed and yearned to know itself. And so great was his desire that one day I said:
"Do you know, Little One, what you have to do to satisfy your desire?"
"Oh, what, God? What? I'll do anything!" The little soul said.
"You must separate yourself from everyone else," I replied, "and then you must see yourself in the dark."
"What is darkness, Your Majesty?" the little soul asked.
"What you are not," I replied, and the soul understood.
And that's what his soul did, moving away from Everything and everyone else like him, thus going to another realm. And in this realm, the soul had the power to experience itself in all kinds of darkness possible. And that's what he did.
But during all the darkness experienced, he cried out:
"Father Almighty, why have you forsaken me?"
Even in the darkest of times, I never did. I have not left you, but I am always by your side so that you remember Who You Really Are; always ready to welcome you home to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Therefore, be the light in the darkness without cursing it. And don't forget who you are in your most difficult times, living and experiencing what you are not to be able to see yourself as Who You Really Are. But you praise creation, even as you seek to change it.
And you know that what you do in the time when you have the most challenging test can be your greatest triumph. Through the experience you create lies the statement of Who You Are and Who You Want to Become.
I have told you this story - the parable of the little soul and the sun - so that you can better understand why the world is the way it is and how it can change in an instant when everyone remembers the divine truth of their ultimate reality.
But some say that life is a school and that these things that you observe and experience in your life are for your learning. I've said it before, and I'll repeat it:
You came into this life not to learn but to demonstrate what you already know. Through this life experience, you create yourself as you are and as you want to be.
Your life is justified by the purpose you give it. This is how you create your blessing. ❤️
