Reflection for April
“I am a vessel waiting to be filled by the luminous Light” MARS
How often do we think of ourselves as a vessel of luminous Light? Probably not often for some, and for others perhaps not at all. The many obligations, responsibilities, and distractions are constantly present clouding our vision as we try to make sense of our lives. As responsibilities and obligations mount, we become overwhelmed, feeling spent, exhausted, and tired, discouraged and frighten, angry and disappointed as well as abandoned and betrayed. It is at this exact time we are called to halt and focus, to breath slowly, to slow down and open our eyes so that we can embrace the Truth of who we really are…“a vessel waiting to be filled with luminous Light”.
It is at that moment we can attain the clarity of knowing, which will bring us inner peace. A peace which we are unfamiliar with because we are so immersed in the business of our lives. This business which has blinded us, and numbed us, to the reality of our lives, has become a protection from our pain. An inner peace that though desired, we are frightened of. In that peaceful silence, in that peaceful stillness, we can feel the depth of the pain of our injured heart. This inner peace that we hunger for and desire, frightens us, for the only way to get there is facing the Truth of our painful heart.
As time passes, our light dims and eventually fades, leaving only a small flickering flame that can hardly be seen. Yet, we have the power to restore and welcome back our bright luminous light. Courage and Faith are called upon to help us with this task, for only when we confront our woundedness can the veil of blindness fall.
To allow the veil to fall, the veil that has helped us keep from seeing and feeling, the veil that keeps our light dim and helps it fade, means that now we are free to be that luminous light. We are then able, to open our eyes so that we can embrace the Truth of who we really are… “a vessel that can illuminate others, a vessel that can gently guide those that are open to guidance, a vessel waiting to be filled with luminous Light.“I am a vessel waiting to be filled by the luminous Light” MARS
