“According to Buddhism, all beings are imbued with a spark of inner divine light…. The Jewish mystics use similar words when they speak of the inner spark or the spark of God. The Koran, referring to man, talks about the little candle flame burning in a niche in the wall of God’s temple. Almost inevitably a spiritual search becomes a search for divine or sacred light. By cultivating our inner core, we search for this light in ourselves as well as the divine.” – Lama Surya Das http://www.adishakti.org/his_light_within.htm#sthash.0vM1bI4m.dpuf

Dear Friends,

In the early morning, while still a bit dark, I was sitting quietly in my favorite meditation chair. I asked what message I need to hear today and all of a sudden I saw a tiny shadow at the window. I looked more closely and saw it was a moth trying to come in. It was so attracted to this soft Himalayan Salt lamp I have on my meditation table and persisted for quite a while. This reminded me of how we are ALL attracted to the LIGHT, the Light and Glow of God. Each of us in our own way are seekers of the Light. We each seek to become a true expression of God. As a New Thought minister I believe God’s Call is always here and available and we as human spiritual beings are continually attracted to the Good, to the essence of God. Even the plants and trees we see raise up towards the sunlight.  We have even seen the tiniest weed and flower grow through a crack in the cement, finding its way towards the Light. As our souls seek the Light of God we come to realize the Light has always been there for us because God’s Light is in us.  Once we awaken to this Truth that the Light is within, we know it is in everyone and everything.   There is only God being God in all, through all, as all, even in and as the tiny moth.

 “I realize that I am one with the eternal newness of life. All that Spirit is creates in and through me. My body is alive with the life of God.  My body is illumined by the light of God. There is no darkness of discouragement, despair or defeat. My mind is refreshed in that One Mind that eternally gives of Itself to its creation.”                                             – Dr. Ernest Holmes, Founder of Religious Science
