It’s temptingly simple to see the world as dichotomy of good vs. evil, light vs. dark, etc., etc., etc.

 

The concept of light destroying darkness is an appealing one.  And such a good variety of handy fill-ins give our hunger for order and simplicity a seeming satisfaction.  There are just so many bad guys to play the part.  And it is so easy to narrow down the ‘good guy’ to one good convenient version of one.

 

But, in this creation — invisible behind the material illusion — there are different dynamics going on.

 

It is not a case of light vs. dark.  It is more a collection of tendencies toward embracing light or toward turning away from light.  This is free will.

 

There are unlimited degrees, gradations, nuances to choose.  And in the atmosphere of free will, the selfish winds of the troposphere turn a weathervane of whim this way and that.  This is usually mistaken for depravity by simpletons.  Throw in fear and the simpleton remedies are downright hurtful.  Fear is the absolute best proxy for darkness.

 

Anything short of a full embracing of the light is an embrasure for the absence of light, an opportunity for man to fall short of spirit potential, purpose and destiny.  And there is no shortage of simpleton explanations to mythologize the falling.

 

Embrace the light!  Embrace the light fully!
