Shedding light unto the darkness

By Alistar Valadez, 19 August 2013

"Sometimes when perceived 'bad' things happen to 'good' people, it can make our faith sway and swirl with doubts and confusion, but as they say, IT takes a tremendous amount of 'non-clinging' to transcend the spirit. When we least expect IT, the universe will push the reset button and give us a purification, it is during these times that we either expand or decay, for these extreme experiences serve as platforms that can lead to our expansion. Just as an ego death can bring forth a rebirth experience, we must release the limits of the old, if the new is ever to transcend through us. We all know that we never get what we want, but we always get what we need, and sometimes it takes coming full circle before that becomes clear. When a spirit rises above the darkness, it can spark great inspiration to those that are closest, for one small change in this fractal universe of existence, can start the waves of change that radiate out throughout the whole cosmos. As science points out, just lifting our finger changes what happens on the sun, so we should not underestimate what energy we give off. For One should look closer within and ask them-self, are we feeding the darkness or are we here to bring in more light into this realm? As this is the purpose of the true artist, shedding light unto the darkness, for the visions or words they cast out unto others, will determine if we can transcend as a whole species. So the next time you feel creative and feel the need to express that which is within, no matter how big or small you feel the value of your project is, just remember this, because of You the universe has expanded!"
