Revelations of Sacred Light and Holy Dark

Everything and everyone have a purpose in this earthly existence. We all play a part in the larger whole of Creation. And paying attention to sacred light and the holy dark is a way to nurture your ability to receive Divine Guidance. Sacred light, at its simplest, was God’s first act of Creation. It illuminates our souls, giving us purpose. Sacred light manifests itself differently in each of us.

Shift from a limiting self-view to an eternal, limitless one

We all experience times when we feel we have little control over our lives. Personal struggles, natural disasters, world events and more fuel our sense of doom. What helps best in these situations is to change our perspective from an earthly one to a spiritual one. By tapping into our heavenly home, we realize that our existence on earth is limited, yet precious.

If the spirit realm is so wonderful, why are we here?

Our earthly existence offers profound insight and growth The harshness of the material world contrasts our heavenly home's atmosphere of unconditional love. So why would we want to leave such a blissful existence? Because it’s in the physical where our actions and thoughts in the face of adversity (as well as the repercussions of those actions and thoughts) can exponentially:

Our sixth sense expands our spiritual and emotional well-being

“If psychics truly existed, why aren’t they rolling in money from the stock market?” I said this years ago, before I came to embrace the notion that we all possess a sixth sense. Obviously, I didn’t have a clue about how Divine Guidance works in our lives. Our intuitive gifts exist to feed our spiritual and emotional potentials, not to create lives of monetary ease.

Lose your limiting views to find who you are

Discover new personal depth when you discard others’ beliefs about you and release the false narratives you carry about yourself. Like most people, you probably built your thought world at an early age around others’ theologies and society’s pressure to fit in. When you adopt others’ beliefs and judgments and then internalize them, you prevent yourself from reaching your full potential.

Six steps to shift from a material to a spiritual mindset

From a young age, we find that life in the physical world is not always fun. We’d forgotten why we came here: growth, soul expansion and learning to love in an imperfect environment. This amnesia leads us to adopt material priorities such as competition, judging others and “looking out for number one.” The problem is this mindset starves our spiritual selves, leaving us empty and unfulfilled.

The surprising ways prayer works

At its most basic level, prayer is energy work. It’s a loving act with the intent to uplift others. In return, it elevates us as well. Praying creates a sacred energy that the Most Loving amplifies, giving it more power to support and love everyone on their journeys. When we welcome and internalize prayer’s energy, it shapes us forever. This loving energy never dissipates.

Old souls are no better than younger ones

I cringe when spiritual gurus proclaim they’re an old soul in a way that elevates themselves above everyone else. Old souls—those who’ve existed longer than most—have learned more, but it doesn’t make them better and doesn’t mean they know everything. If anything, their status requires them to give more of themselves to elevate others, humanity in general and all of Creation.

9,000+ Bible translations have existed: Find what speaks to you

Every church I attended had a preferred Bible. As a child belonging to the Methodist Church, I learned from the King James Version. Later, as an evangelical, I studied the New International Version. Catholics read the New American Bible. Episcopalians use the New Revised Standard Version. Since the 16th Century, about 900 English versions and 9,000 worldwide translations have existed. And, the translations…

We are a part of Creation, not separate from it

We are deeply connected to humanity, animals and the planet. We are so dependent on Creation that we can’t stand alone without feeling that something is missing. Once we truly understand the unity of all, we feel a wholeness we hadn’t before. This leads to a rearrangement of our priorities. We no longer view life as a competition. Instead, we see it as a collaboration.

4 Tips to thrive in tough times

When we are paralyzed by devastating illness, world events or personal tragedies, it’s hard to see the way out of our misery. While no one can take away our challenges, the advice listed below can help us break through and live more meaningful lives.

The Rapture is an inner spiritual transformation

As our spiritual awareness deepens, we welcome heaven within ourselves and our earthly existence. We feel a bond to all creation. When we connect to the Great I Am, we experience unconditional love. This leads to our personal rapture where we welcome bliss into our existence. What do some think The Rapture means? Some Christians see The Rapture as open to those who adhere to their specific practices.

How free will impacts prayer and sending sacred energy

Praying and sending love, light and positive energy are ways we ask the divine to intervene. Whenever we call upon the heavenly realm, we’re acting in a way that invites heavenly direction to act within us and others. Free will determines the effectiveness of our divine requests Our spiritual petitions are most powerful when we pray or send energy to those who request it.

Spiritual memes/Kathleen’s social media pages

I am still working on my next blog post and expect it to be ready for mail next week. 😊It’s about praying, sending light and love to help us, our friends and family, and the world. And, how the free will of others impact the effectiveness of our prayers. For now, I’m sharing some memes I’ve created for the social media accounts that I manage.

Improve a difficult situation with love

When our well-being or happiness is threatened it’s in our nature to blame others and wish them the worst. You hurt me and I’ll hurt you back. However, lashing back at someone when we’re angry, scared or stressed doesn’t improve the situation or make us feel better in the long term. Why? Because when we send our darkest thoughts to another, we feel righteous in our retaliation.

Our hearts lead us to the divine

We are souls experiencing life within a physical shell and the demands of a 3-D world. We come from a place where we’re not limited by physicality. Living on Earth grows us in ways that are impossible without bodies. Our material existences present us with the novelty of experiencing physical death; fulfilling the immediate needs of our bodies; and realizing the fragility of these shells.

@positiveaffirmations Great article and, honestly, something I haven't thought much about. I will say that I've had some interesting experiences with dragonflies. One sat on my leg for hours while I was kayaking. I found it soothing. Thanks for thinking of me.
