Balancing the Light Within. Linda LLC Stein-Luthke

if I don't feel, see, or experience anything, this is hogwash, and I am on to another great adventure.” No, dear friends. How long have you lived without allowing this knowing into your conscious awareness? There are layers of doubt, and many emotions to release and experience along the way of finding this Light within and then allowing an experience of it to become a conscious reality within you. This is what so many have called a "leap of faith". But this is not faith in the ordinary sense. We are not espousing any particular religion here. That has never been our purpose or function in our alliance with humanity. If you are identified with a religion, this may reinforce your beliefs. If you are not currently aligned with a religion, this may bring you to a desire to do so. Or you may find that your religion now holds little interest as you proceed to discover that the Light that you thought was only "out there", has always been who you are at the very core of your being. We cannot predict exactly how this Light will express itself to you, because each being is a unique expression of this Light. We can share with you how to find it and how to utilize it to best heal self and others, but your experience will be your own as you discover the wonders within of who you truly are. Not how others perceive you, or how you have grown to perceive yourself based on how you believe the world has or will perceive you at any given moment, but who you truly are in the core of your being. This is self-empowerment.

      Well, and why would we espouse going within as the first step in helping others? Because until you know your own being completely and totally and have healed and transformed your issues into Light to the best of your awareness, how can you know how to help another? You are your own best teacher, laboratory, schoolroom. Within are all the answers you will ever need to know in order to be of the best service you can be to another. For many human beings, it would be far, far easier to concentrate on another's malaise rather than to deal with self first and foremost. But learning to know and accept self completely will allow you to offer total unconditional acceptance to another. And, of course, you know that it is far easier to want to help others when you can first accept them no matter how they present themselves to you. For what we can guarantee that you will find within yourself, if you are diligent and honest in your search, is every impulse, feeling, and thought known to humanity. Learning to accept all that there is about self, and allowing the Light a generous flow through your being, will bring you to a compassionate awareness of your connection to all beings and a wisdom to deal with them in an honest, effective manner. So, we say go within, breathe deeply and gently, ask for the Light to be a conscious awareness to you, and trust that a wondrous adventure is about to begin.
