Without the Darkness, there would be no Light. There will always be a balance. I enjoyed your post and answering your question. Thank you and Happy Writing Vivienne!

Hey MJ.

Thankyou for your deep reflections.

I too feel we are all here to bring Light to the world...some on the Light path and some on the Dark path.

Either way, I feel each path has something to show us as humanity.

I have, for a long time, struggled with the concept of Light and Dark.

I feel perhaps it is primarily due to how media has portrayed Dark as bad and Light as good.

Many recent shamanic journeys I have undertaken are highlighting that the power is in fusion of Light and Dark both needing each other for growth and expansion.

Love your next question too.

I will muse on that.🩵🩵🩵

Thank you Craig 🙏 I am so happy that you found a connection with this, and can't wait to see where you take it!

And what a beautiful statement 🤍 I wholeheartedly agree - Yes, we're all allies in the good fight! Let your Light shine brother.🕯️

You have no idea how much all of this, and especially your question, is resonating and intersecting with so many different parts of my life even in the past 24 hours. I'm excited to pick up the torch in this spiral / labyrinth in the next few days.

We have very different faith journeys, but share a deep commitment to peace and flourishing for all of humanity. It is always a beautiful thing to see the light of love shining across the artificial boundaries we so often build between us. Thank you for sharing your journey and for being a light.

I’m finding this question spiral so interesting! Your answer about the tree being life and the darkness distraction was sweet. I also liked those mantras or affirmations and the Buddhist scripture. A fun spiritual mix!

Thank you Jennifer, I believe that you are a Warrior of the Light too. And I know you recognize at least one of those mantras😉 I hope it is a fun spiritual mix, that's what I was going for! But I was afraid it was too much, and was really second guessing it last night 🙃 Happy Writing!

It wasn’t too much! And yes, I definitely recognized that middle one! Love that, “warrior of the light.” You ever hear of lightworkers? I like that, too.

Nope, do tell! What's a lightworker?

Well, I read about them when reading a lot of new age spirituality stuff a few years ago. I’m sure others could tell you more of what it means in those communities but I adopted it to mean, for me (lol) someone who is here to spread their light in the best ways they can and whose life will have butterfly effects on all they encounter, human and non human — and who is enlightened to the fact this is what they are doing, their ultimate purpose. They’re not perfect all the time, but very self aware. ✨ 🦋
