The Light That Dispels Darkness
Light: the clarity of pure consciousness; the empty essence of mind.
Dispel: make a doubt, feeling, or belief disappear.
Darkness: the mental furniture, fixtures and fittings, memories, programming in the mind that constructs a self-image.
Our reality is the clarity of pure consciousness. We don’t have to make this happen; we are this light, right now. When this is realised, it lights up all the neuroses in the mind, the spell of memories we’re under that has no actual reality.
To dispel this darkness, we merely have to recognise the influences playing on us daily; these dark art of deception reinforce the self through our exaggerated reactions. It is recognising this deception – the cause of confusion – that is our path to enlightenment.
The brighter the light of consciousness,
the more the darkness is dispelled.
