The Holy Light
Within
by Charles Wm Skillas, PhD, DD, BCH, CI, FNGH
No matter
what religion you believe in or even if you have none, this is
the time of the year that we are reminded of our relationship
to the Creator. Once all the eating and drinking and wishing
everyone to have a happy holiday is over, we are called to look
at what is really important. What is important is that the season
causes us to pause and reflect, albeit only in a cursory way
perhaps, on who and what we are.
It doesn’t make any difference what religious belief system
is or if you don’t even have one, we are all called upon
to think a little bit about ourselves and perhaps others. I have
called this article “The Holy Light Within”, but it
could be called any other name and it would still resonate with
the light that is inside every one of us.
When I do the prayers of protection before every session I
have with a client, whether the session is in person or remote,
I call upon us to find the spark of the Creator’s divine love within
ourselves which is at the spiritual center of our being. This spark
of light is real…it is the spark of the Creator’s
love that created us in the beginning and sustains us through lifetimes.
This light is the manifestation of our divinity as we have the
Creator within each of us.
This light within us makes us all brothers and sisters and unites
us in the universal love of our Creator. It is said that we
are all created in the image and likeness of our Creator. This
is a bit hard to believe for those of us who are suffering
physical, mental, emotional or spiritual maladies, but it is
probably true. If the Creator created something as complex
as man, then it probably did so as a reflection of itself.
Why not? If Creator put its divine light and love in man, then
it most likely did so out of love for its creation and made
man its mirror image. Love is a very powerful force. It can
heal us and transform our lives. Our Creator did not cause
the problems we bear. Our problems result from our free will,
which the Creator gave each of us along with love and a spark
of divinity. We really are divine beings. At this time of the
year, we are reminded that we are so and reminded to see this
aspect of ourselves in every other person.
Therefore, this is a great time to look within ourselves and
find that spark of light, focus on it and begin to see ourselves
anew as children of the Creator. When we do this, we can begin
to address the sources of the problems we have in life and do
something about them rather than to continue to just wallow in
self-destruction and misery and blaming our problems on others
or God. Let us find our light at the beginning of this New Year
and begin the task of fixing ourselves if we are broken. We don’t have to stay
broken, because everything can be fixed. That is part of us. We
are fixers.
