How To Find Your Light
It can appear extraordinarily difficult, within the confines of the apparent limits of perception that a belief that this world is all that is actually real can create within the unlimited arena that is your mind, to find your personal light. I can attest to the effects of this error of perception, for I have been guilty of this simple misappropriation of the truth many more times that I can possibly recollect. Simply because you may, at this time, believe that you can’t find your light or perhaps that you don’t even have a light that is uniquely your own does not mean that it is impossible for you to discover your own infinite worth. The basis of this worth is found in a very simple proposition that represents a truth that this world is unlikely to accept in any form. That you are unique is difficult to counter. You may wish to present a myriad of arguments as to why it is that you wish to believe that you are not unique. You may feel that you are so similar to so many others that you could not possibly be possessed of any qualities that would truly serve to distinguish you from your peers in any manner that would be acceptably discriminate or inarguably definite. It is not my intention to attempt to argue with you if that is the presentation that you wish to make at this time, for certainly I can understand these feelings and absolutely there have been times that I, too, have accepted just such an argument as to why I might feel that I am not at all a unique individual.
But there can be no legitimate certainty ascribed to this presentation of similarities as having sufficient utility to justify any judgment you wish to assign to yourself. This is because you are, in truth, truly unique and absolutely indispensable in absolutely every way that any individual person can be measured against the presentation of another. Even on a physical level, other than the rare occurrences of genetically identical twins who’s DNA is absolutely the same, all of our physical forms are utterly unique and they will never be presented in the same form in another’s body in at any time in the future. Even truly genetically identical twins are not the same person, for the instructions that were parsed to create their physical forms do not dictate a similarity of awareness or perception. If you doubt, seek out a pair of identical twins and converse with them for a short while. You will find that they are not at all the same person and you will find that their personalities, while at times being remarkably similar, are not at all in perfect alignment. Nor would they want to be exactly the same as the other, for while their physical compositions might be nearly indistinguishable, their individual souls are unique and they will remain ever just as this – unique individuals.
This uniqueness of physical composition is not a creative or causative event – it is a reflection of the unique nature of your soul, for you are just as you are and there is no other person in this world that will be ever be exactly the same as you. Such an alignment would be without value for anyone, for it is our diversity and individual natures that provide one of the greatest strengths that we as a collective society enjoy – the ability to be comprised of disparate units of consciousness who are able to produce great works of art, enormous cities of massive complexity and resolutely powerful societies, capable of withstanding great challenges while retaining our collective structure. Indeed it is not at all inappropriate to posit that the sum is greater than the parts, but to regard the sum as the only goal of organization and collective cooperation is to fail to see the intractably important contributions that each individual offers when they unite with others to complete a goal that cannot possibly be accomplished by a single individual.
How, then, is one to proceed in this world that so constantly reinforces a communal desire to conform, venerating those who best align their own behavior with the commonality of assigned patterns of existence that most represent an idealized life? Each and every soul must find their own way and their own personal systems of behavior that may or may not conform to what is expected of them, so that they do not become
