I am a being of light and shadow.  So are you.  People observe that light comes from the Sun and stars and shines on the Earth.  Too often we take this for granted.  After millions of years the light and energy that has gathered on this planet have been transformed into an amazing biosphere of energy beings.  While the source of life remains a mystery we can easily attribute our continued existence to the “original” energy of the thermonuclear reactions of the Sun.  The key is that light has become concentrated in us.  We feed on other energy beings and grow our light within.  We do this with the intention of shining it back out into the universe.  I think individually we are pretty bright, and collectively we are absolutely brilliant. We are so bright we are actually polluting the world with our brilliance.  Some people think this picture is a testament of our power, and they are probably right, but I think this picture is sad.  To me it shows how greatly we are wasting our light trying to “beat” the dark.  The key is we are beings of shadow and light, and to deny our darkness is a division that does not serve us.  We need to reach for a balance or our light may yet destroy us.
