We have all had moments in our lives where we have
experienced Brightening of our Lights.
It has been called ‘Satori’, ‘Enlightenment’, ‘Insight’,
‘Awakening’, and such. These moments, as transitory
and elusive as they are, are treasures of being that we
long to possess. But, in frustration and regret, we find
that when we attempt to cling to them, or ‘own’ them,
they vanish and dissolve into the void from whence they
came. This is one of the reasons (I feel) that religion
fails -for most people- to bring them the peace and
contentment it promises; Truth cannot be standardised
into a formula that fits everyone, because we are different
enough that our varied designs prevent the passing of
Truth in such a pre-arranged fashion. Each of us must
find our way ourselves, to our Self. We can gain
perspective, direction and inspiration from those who
have gone before, by reading and studying,
contemplating and meditating on the signposts they
point out to us along the Way. But, it is we that must
do the Walking. It is we that must awaken. It is we
that must “jump off the precipice and build our wings
on the way down.”
Sharing our moments of Brightening can have a
wonderful effect on our own journey. It can remind
us of a time when we felt more aware and awake,
more in tune with the All. It can inspire a new, fresh
perspective to arise within us, another Brightening
to occur, sometimes. It can also remind others of
their moments and affirm for them that the journey
is worth the effort. That they are not alone and lost
in the wilderness, as we all sometimes feel.
