It the Season of Light. Although the origins of Christmas and Diwali are several thousand years apart, the message and methods of celebration are similar. Both celebrations have wonderful spiritual messages, which over time have become diluted as we forgot our eternal identity of being souls and became body conscious. The festival of Diwali reminds us we are Spiritual Light housed in material bodies. Candles and millions of sparkling lights illuminate homes and businesses signifying this 'awakening' of soul consciousness, reminding us we truly are divine points of light. Thousands of small lighted deepaks (wick oil lights) float down the rivers as a memorial of a time when human beings lived in a higher consciousness, naturally aware of being souls. The twinkling lights on the Christmas tree reminds us of our true identity and the star at the top of God's true eternal identity of Light.
Although the light within us currently has become dim and we can no longer see, it takes only a moment to move away from the current Age of Darkness to the Age of Light, and see again the bright side of everything. In these times of uncertainty and change, be aware when life feels like it is fragmenting you, it is because you are ready to be put back together in a different and newer way. You are not cracked or broken. In this Age of Transformation, remain steady, fearless and unshakable. Our original identity as eternal spiritual light is breaking through. Trust where the cracks are occurring is where the light of courage is shining through helping us to rebuild, to re-imagine, to redefine what it means to be soul conscious. Discover the most valuable resource, the real I, of all human beings is the eternal soul, a thinking being, the source of our life, of our specialties and personality, located behind the forehead separate from this heavy human body.
Recognizing my spiritual identity is like being reborn; suddenly I am no longer ordinary. Speak to yourself and direct your mind to think in a positive way, as we become whatever we deeply think about. Every piece of the self feeling fragmented will find a new place, a new purpose, a new meaning. The Festival of Diwali reminds us to shine our inner light of love again to return health, happiness, abundance and harmony. "Let your little light shine, let it shine, let it shine!"; “ Don’t hide it under a bushel”, because the whole world now needs the light of soul consciousness.
Become the living lights, connected to the One True Light to awaken others to shine, and the darkness vanishes like it was never there. God is only a thought away, The Supreme Sun of Knowledge gives courage, understanding and strength to every human being, The dark clouds of doubt disappear. New hope and the energy of spiritual light fill the soul. Enlightened, the Winter of the world blossoms into ‘spring and summer’, into a pure, peaceful heavenly world of happiness, where brotherly love creates harmony, as the light of the soul is constantly lit."
