PUSH Out of the Darkness

'Always surround yourself with friends 

that have plenty of light in them. That way, 

you will always have candles around you when days are dark."

Suzy Kassem

When we walk away from someone feeling better about our lovely selves, we have experienced the light of that person.  We can walk into a room of people gathered to send prayers out into the world, and immediately feel uplifted.  

Light attracts light and together we can reach higher levels of awareness and compassion.  We become aware of how we impact others and what adjustments we may need to grow our flames brighter.

When we are personally stuck in darkness, it is imperative to join the light of others and not hover in private misery.  Those who hold light in the world welcome others to share in their light. PUSH out of the darkness and become a flame once again.

Truth of Experience

"Empathy nurtures widsom.

Apathy cultivates ignorance."

Suzy Kassem

RISE UP AND SALUTE THE SUN

It is the wise one who holds beliefs close to the heart while ears remain open to the thoughts of others.  The wise one believes truth will withstand incoming stimuli.  Truths grow deeper by being exposed to opposition.  Additional information might even shift our own thinking based on freshly educated input.  When we can remain open and flexible, we lessen the chances of becoming ignorant during the passage of time.

It is important to become familiar with topics unfamiliar to us.  We need to be informed as to what we oppose. We educate ourselves, not to change opinion, but to understand the other person's wisdom  based on his or her own experiences.

With an open mind, we listen to the voice of others not needing to agree or disagree.  If we educate ourselves we remain engaged rather than apathetic.  We become ignorant when we falsely believe our way is the only way, and close all other access points.
