The Father of Lights
It's the holiday season again with its special Christmas lights. For each of us, however, our entire life-experience has had but one purpose behind it -- discovering the Light of the Eternal.

This season marks the timeless moment when immaculate awareness comes to free us from the mistaken worship of the graven images of limited light in order to recognize, what the Bible calls, "the Father of lights (the Light of Conscousness), with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

God's light is enfolded within the awareness that sees Christmas lights twinkling, that watches the evening sky with starlight gleaming. In the same way that the "words" are "information," just so is light unfolding the wisdom and knowledge of God within us.

Who is "us"? The Self-Awareness of the Infinite Eternal.

Life runs in Light because Life is that light. The searching soul that struggles to see, skirts the edges of shadows, plumbs the darkened valleys of hidden hills and measures the forms of opaqueness.

But for each of us, in each one's time, the experience examined, the shadows searched, leads us to the Light, the Light to the Godhead. The shadows are gone, having let us see so we know we see the immeasurable allness of Light.
