Darkness
September 27, 2009

What do you think of when you think of darkness? Walking out in the night to find you need the light to see? Our world is covered in darkness half of the time and without it; humans along with some nocturnal animals would not survive. The fact that most of us live 9 to 12 hours in darkness can be a blessing; it gives our bodies time to wind down and regenerate for the next day.  But what if darkness encompassed the earth 24/7, what would our planet be like? Well my guess would be that, we would be a pretty grim planet and would probably not survive for long.  Too many hours in darkness after a period of time, and I can’t imagine much would be left on the planet. We really need light for plants, animal and human to survive a balanced life on earth.

 

If you look at the shades that are in the rainbow they are the colour shades of what emanates from the earth and the sky and what comes in between. These are colour hues that accent the earth and sky and are the colours that live in you. The only darkness that approaches us is at night between the sun and the light. It is at those times of the day that we sleep and are wrapped in the tranquility of what the earth and sky offer us to prepare for the journey to the dream world.
 

Though even though the sun comes up every morning there are some people on this planet that remain living in darkness. The darkness that blankets the earth every night lives in their very souls. This darkness is an emotional darkness defined by dark emotional feelings and thoughts,
and the darkness that individuals feel can be a place of sadness and despair. Some live their entire life's story in this darkness consumed with resentment and anger. Life is a pretty grim place for them and if not conscious enough to know there is help within them; this can only repeat itself over and over again until they die. Disease and despair go hand in hand and until they change the dark cloud will always be with them.

 

Know that there is hope; hope is in changing your thoughts. Changing you thoughts to positive and happier thoughts and as simple as it may sound, there are many that will have to dig deep for this.

 

If you knew that there was light at the end of your dark tunnel you would probably feel better? What if you knew that the light was inside you and always has been? Unfortunately when you live a life of depression or sadness the light inside you dims and anything that is full of light repels you.  This means that nothing really wonderful that would make YOU happy would come to you.

 

Once you change your thoughts for better ones the light comes to you and washes over you. You feel renewed and you feel better.  If you sat and listened to the thoughts that came up, you would find that most were the endless chatter of negative thoughts. The moment that you stop listening to the chatter and you tell yourself you have had enough is the moment your life turns around for the better and the moments you spent in darkness are gone.

Reach out to the universe and become the person you want to be. Stop the darkness from entering and believe your life can change for the better. We are all here on this earth to be happy and live out our dreams. Life is supposed to be fun and if your life hasn't been fun for a long time change the track you are on and move forward in another direction. Make sure that it is in the direction that has all your hopes and dreams waiting for you at the other end. Don't get dragged down by what you feel is suppose to be your life. Take a moment each day and appreciate all that you have.

If you want to change your situation and escape the darkness, know that you can find the answers within you. Breathe and within, you will find the essence of who you are. When you do the shrouded light will become bright and will shine through. Take the time and breathe and with each breath you will feel its essence reaching out to you to help. If you feel a wave of happiness or contentment you have probably found it… as brief as it may be… it was there for you.  You will know when you have found it when you feel happy… Happy to be here and you are no longer in darkness!
