Don’t Imitate the Light
All the processes of creation
are part of the journey the soul undergoes in the body
to reach the Creator Himself.
This is not to become like Him.
You cannot become like the One, you can only be.
Man does not imitate the light;
he discovers that he himself is a revelation of the light.
Not “I and He,” but “I-He.”
Not “I am drawing near to Him,” but “I am remembering that I am in Him.”
Not “to become like,” but “to be present in the oneness that I already am.”
There is no place outside of Him that one needs to reach.
Everything is already full of Him,
it is only our consciousness that is still separate.
This is the shift from the work of form to the being of unity;
from the one who “does in order to become like,”
to the one who “is present in order to discover his being.”
This is why the body itself undergoes a process of purification.
Take an enormous lamp
that is covered in mud and sand.
The light is there,
but you cannot see it.
That is what we are like.
The enormous lamp is the soul.
The light within it is the Creator Himself, the infinite light.
And the mud and sand—these are the klipot (shells/husks), the habits, the fears, the mistaken perceptions,
everything that has accumulated around the light during its descent into this world.
Everything that “happens,” we must learn to immediately connect it to the Creator.
Immediately.
Why?
Because we are connected to the Creator, and this is our only protection.
Nothing that happens can make sense on its own.
To get busy digging, excavating, and searching for “why” or “who” or “what”—
this means I am not connected to the Creator,
and therefore, I suffer.
Suffering means a misunderstanding of the divine reality.
How do we become accustomed to this?
We practice.
This way of seeing is the vision of absolute truth.
I do not take any side.
I am only an observer of the divine process.
Without a “why.”
Reflect:
Where are you trying to “become like” something good or spiritual, instead of simply allowing the light you already are to be present?
Think of a recent challenge. What happens if you stop asking “why” it happened and instead immediately connect the experience back to the one Divine Source?
What “mud and sand”—habits, fears, or false beliefs—are covering your light right now?
Let’s explore this together.
