Quotes on LIGHT


"The path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day." ~The Bible

THE LIGHT OF GOD

Beyond our power to explain or know,
There is a spark that kindles an inward glow
And turns it outward as a signal fire,
Beaming the farther as it reaches higher.

We need only crack the dark soul's lantern door
And the spark will leap to life at its very core,
Filling the vessel with a blaze of light
And sending a beacon deep into the night.

Lord God, I open my lantern, dark and still.
Kindle my soul with the quick spark of your will.
Let love be my fuel and your truth the flame
That shines out of me to glorify your name."
~Barbara Kunz Loots

"We are all broken to some degree. That's the price of being human. At some point in our life we will face extreme pressure and feel fear, anxiety, loneliness, distress, or so many other painful or negative emotions. We are fragile earthen jars. We break. But when we do, it can also be our finest moment. That’s because we can be put back together again the way we were meant to be. The most beautiful people have, at some point in their lives, experienced brokenness. But they haven’t remained in that state. They have learned to let go of the inner struggle and the things they have no control over, and turned to a higher power. It’s in a state of soul surrender, letting-go and letting-God, that the light comes streaming through the cracks and inner healing takes place." ~Daniel Nielsen

by Raed Braun

Look for/at the invisible lights!

It’s a spectrum for the heart.

Where and how do you paint your Journey?

It only brightens when it is dark enough.

PATH OF LIGHT

Call upon forgiveness to release your precious soul;
Forgiving allows for living; it makes the Universe whole.
Grace will light your way; there’s only one path that’s true;
It’s the one that leads to love, the one with the heavenly views.

You may have shared your heart; you may have some regrets;
But the greatest plan for your soul hasn’t even happened yet.
Stay true to who you are; don’t give up on life’s fight.
It will all be worth it in the end; keep walking the path of light.
~Robert Clancy

"When you have come to the edge
Of all light that you know
And are about to drop off into the darkness
Of the unknown,
Faith is knowing
One of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on or
You will be taught to fly”
~Patrick Overton

"Without the light of the sun, nothing can be seen.
Light is the greatest sculptor.
It reveals the forms of all things.
Salutations to the sun.
Without the light of consciousness, neither the sun,
nor its light nor anything else can be seen.
Salutations to consciousness.
Without you, where is the world?
Without you, what would perceive the play of existence?
In satsang, you are introduced again and again
to consciousness, which is your own light.
You come to the recognition that consciousness itself
is the source of all manifestation
and that without it, nothing can be perceived to exist.
You are both consciousness and simultaneously
the perceiver of consciousness. Are you aware of this?
Without you, the perceiver of consciousness,
neither consciousness nor its content exist.
The universe is… because you are."
~ Mooji

"You come like sunlight through a window
to the hallway of my heart.
Grace is illuminating places
that have only known the dark.
I've never been so blessed
to have met someone.
I never would have guessed
that you'd come for me -
I'd lost all faith in the Mystery,
in the handiwork of God."

From "The Handiwork of God" on the CD, The Offering
