_________ ~~~~~~~ THE LIGHT

I had written this text in the past, and never had the courage to post it. A dear friend told me to set it on a forum.... "it would give a few more people something beautiful"...even if some consider it just a

LOVE STORY!

_________ ~~~~~~~ THE LIGHT

The floor-to-ceiling windows were open, letting the sunlight in and making the white sheer curtains dance inside and outside the room… a room filled with the fragrance of botanical essences and incense. Now, together with the sunlight and the gentle breeze drifting through the window, it had transformed into the very paradise we had been told about since childhood.

I filled the room with the soothing sound of rain to help me BE in silence. Sitting in the armchair, closing my eyes, listening to the rain, feeling the sun’s warmth and the cool breeze, I was left with a beautiful sense of disorientation… I could no longer distinguish between wakefulness and a dream… He was there, right in front of me, smiling at me like an archangel.

“Focus on YOUR light”, he said, as ever.

I remember seeing him place his hands on the sides of my head, and then his body was no longer there… it was just light. I could see nothing but light in front of me. Then I myself turned into light. We were both THE LIGHT, and then, these lights merged…

In a few seconds, every contrast and duality dissolved into unity: the coolness of the breeze and the warmth of the sun, the natural sound of birds singing outside and the rain sound playing from the man-made record player inside, the view of natural trees and flowers through the windows and the sight of the human-crafted furniture, physical bodies and the “LIGHT” … all were ONE now.

All of this lasted a very short time… but still, I am there. I can’t get it out of my mind. I had learned theoretically that such a phenomenon is possible and, in fact, is something the human spirit is meant to believe in, experience, and live as truth, but I had never experienced it before.

Does it matter whether we are in touch with our beloved ones or not? Does it matter if a love rival is happy when thinking of your broken heart? Does it matter if you feel you are not good enough to be "wanted"?

We are all together there in THE LIGHT…

Each new JOURNEY starts with a very first step, Ayda
Such a beautiful POEM-to-LOVE 🙂

THANK YOU

There is always a first step, hoping for the next ones, and then after many years, you realize that all the steps taken weren't "the first step" yet...

You get disappointed, and decide to leave THE PATH, but THE LIGHT doesn't let you give up... It sends its waves to nudge you by their awakening "faults"!

And you, unintentionally, see yourself on the path again... hoping this time you reach somewhere... something...

Thank you, Michael

Ayda

“Just because you want it doesn't mean you deserve it”.

Reading this statement, my mind stopped working for some moments. I couldn’t make a harmony between this and the fact that if you want something, the universe- or better said, THE LIGHT, wants you to want it. As it is said, if something is not meant to be yours, you won’t want it.

Also, we have this poem from the famous mystic, Rumi, saying: “you ARE what you SEEK”.

After some moments of thinking, I realized where the apparent conflict lies. The quote I mentioned first above, implies for those who haven’t found their LIGHT yet.

We may want a car, a job, a person, etc. that is “higher” than us according to the standards we have in this world. as far as we are this body and our wishes are earthly, of course we may not deserve what we want. It is undoubtedly extremely sad, especially if our “wish” is a beloved person. But what if we become the LIGHT that is inside us?

At the level of LIGHT, there is no such thing as "deserving. You deserve everything. In fact, when you become THE light, you won’t wish for anything anymore. You won’t chase “that special person” anymore, because you unintentionally were chasing them to find yourself in them. When you find YOU, the LIGHT, you no more need to chase anyone else. In fact, there won’t be “anyone else” anymore, either. Because everything, everywhere, everyone will be THE LIGHT.

Well, it seems so beautiful when being talked about. But how much should we try and how long should we wait until we find THE LIGHT inside us?

It is said that there is no need to try. In fact, the only way is to “stop trying”. Practicing Silence is enough.

And about the second question, it is said “time” is an illusion. There is no past, present or future. Well, I hope someday this theoretical knowledge of mine shows itself in reality so that I don’t suffer from the word “WHEN” anymore.

In the meantime, the only thing I can do is to obey the masters and stay in Silence, in hope of finding ME, so that I won’t tell myself that “I don’t deserve it”…
