We are light. There are two dimensions in that metaphor – we have light and we give light. In the first dimension, the light of the world is consciousness itself. Your awareness of the world is like light – it’s what makes reality possible. Consciousness and reality are not separable, just like vision and light are not separable. We need light to see, just like we need consciousness to experience reality. Your entire sense of awareness gives rise to your perception of an external world. Every sense perception that helps you interface with the so-called external world, occurs through awareness (consciousness). This conscious process is indeed the “light” that makes everything possible.
The second dimension of light is in what it gives to the world. It must be pretty important, because in the story of creation, the first thing God created was light, even before the sun itself. Light is life-giving, and life-sustaining. It emanates an energy field that gives warmth, dimension, and texture to the world. You, as the light of the world, have the potential to do the same with your very being. What kind of light energy do you bring to your everyday world? Does your light reflect love, prosperity, warmth, and openness? Or is your light dim, dark, and sketchy? Be mindful of that the fact that you are the light of the world. You make reality possible through the conscious process, and you also create an energy field that can be a gift to everyone who encounters you. Be a light that is fully aware, and be an energy that reflects warmth, radiance, and sustenance to all who are in your presence. Be the light of the world, wherever you go today!
