 Dear Friends,
Those of you who aspire to be light workers will be very much aware that, the more strongly we invoke the light, the more powerfully do long-buried problems rise up to the surface of our awareness for resolution and healing.
The immediate effect of this is rather like stepping straight from a glorious, sunlit, flower-filled meadow into a treacherous bog. One minute we are warm and happy, the path stretching clearly before us, the next minute up to our eyeballs in mud and confusion.
In fact, you could almost say that the flower-filled meadow and the treacherous bog are – at least until we've let the sunlight dry out every inch of the bog – two sides of the same coin. We can't have one without the other. No wonder we often feel like failures.
Wrongs done to us long ago, for instance, wrongs we may have thought we had forgiven, wrongs we may not even consciously remember because they were done to us in another lifetime or in our early childhood, will suddenly rear their ugly heads in the form of anger, depression, fear, or even physical illness.
And if we've done a seriously professional job of burying the original cause, we may not even be aware of what the anger, depression, fear or illness are really all about, and may mistakenly ascribe them to some other cause entirely.
It's important to remember, at times like these, that our difficulties and heartache are the result of our success in invoking the light, and certainly not our failure. And then to trust that we can heal, we are healing, however long it takes.
Also, we can rely on the fact that everything we need for our healing will come to hand at the appropriate moment if we follow where the light leads. Why? Because any light strong enough to bring these unresolved issues up to the surface must also be strong enough to heal them. It's a law. So, trust is the order of the day.
The other essential tool, of course, for cleaning up the mud, is self-knowledge. We’ve always liked that expression because of its economy: when you spell it with a lower-case ‘s’, it means knowledge of the ordinary self, how it works and what motivates it. When you spell it with a capital S, it means knowledge of – recognition of – our higher Self. And when you have both kinds of self-knowledge, you have everything, including healing.
So many more people are working on themselves these days, and the light is working on us all to such an extent, that we can really see the results of this in the kinds of books that are being written, and also in the kinds of books you want to read. Essential practical issues – like forgiveness, for instance (see The Forgiveness Formula), or relationships (see Soulmate Relationships) – are being dealt with by authors in much more realistic, and at the same time more spiritual, ways. So... have courage. The light is working. We are working. All things are working together for the good.
With much love from all of us.
