As Seekers of Light we long for Truth and Simplicity. With awareness that experiencing darkness is a necessary part of total and complete appreciation and recognition of Light. Below I am sharing a favorite song that is worth reflecting on written by Jason Marz ……. 93 Million Miles From The Sun.
I pray we all seek the Light today and resist the Darkness……
“I want to be different, I want to be changed” these words come from a song written by Micah Tyler. I encourage you to search YouTube for the interviews where he talks about being inspired to write this song. As with many songs written or stories told, the words and meaning often echo the feeling of those who have found themselves experiencing similar emotional thoughts and circumstances.
I understand that My words and beliefs relay a very personal story that has developed over a lifetime of experiences and interactions with others. My story and experiences can never be exactly like that of others. Every individual on the earth has a story that is unique.
Although we may share similar experiences and interactions the emotional feelings that transpire and the individual interactions and experienced will always be “uniquely our own” even within family experiences this is true.
” Today you are you, that is truer then true, there is no one alive who is youer than you”. Dr. Seuss
Religions, Spirituality, cultural and moral beliefs are another area that are deeply influenced by our upbringing and personal experiences in life. Humans and experiences within humanity will cause individuals to have uniquely specific understanding or comprehension for what is moral and right. I completely understand that the opinions and words that I am expressing here are influenced by my life events, experiences, research as a human being, as well as my willingness to be open to belief in Divine as well as my level of Devotion and Acceptance to being Led by Divine Guidance.
Understanding this and having respect for all humans and following the belief that each person is uniquely created by God and is individually accountable to Him, highlights the importance of individual identity, However in saying that I also strongly feel that as unique individuals we should always be aware that in God’s eye’s we are all equal and we as humans (and collective religious entities) should never cast judgment or attempt to force our human beliefs onto others in the pursuit of Dominant control over others………. desiring not just leadership, but absolute, unchallengeable authority over others is never admirable or righteous.
When we are put in the position of being lead by or have chosen to give power to those who are in the pursuit of Dominance might we also have chosen Human Dominance over Divine Will.
There are often times in life when we feel inadequate, so confused by events unfolding around us and genuinely lost. When going through devastating events we often pray for strength to keep going and relief from the fear and uncertainty.
In our human minds we often believe that if the events around us causing us confusion could simply be changed “all would be well” …… when the devastating differences seem too massive to change hopelessness sets in.
There are times when news reports, statements, plans and actions from those in charge of nations weigh heavy and feel hopeless.
In full awareness of my very limited personal abilities to inspire change, I pray the small footprint I leave on society illuminates and inspires others to Pray and open their hearts to Divine Guidance.
May many prayers hold great Hope of the Unlimited Power of Divine to make the difference our world so needs.
