On Darkness, On Light

Today, a driver who took me and my son uptown told us about her depression. She said she's been depressed her entire life. We talked about this. I sense that many of us have been incubating in dark wombs. I sense that a huge change is underway, and our meditations on suffering have been helpful, rather than self-indulgent. The Earth contains many sad stories, and part of living here is to learn to bend with them, to learn to tame their impact on our souls.

A friend of mine interviewed for this project spoke of how she prefers to concentrate only on light. She projects light and sends light to others. I tend to focus on my darkness; I assume the world is Light and only my darkness prevents me from seeing it.

Sometimes I wonder this: if even half of us went deep into our beings and cleaned out our darkness, would that alone clear the oceans? What is the Earth, really, except what I am able to perceive?

We are hearing many new thoughts and ideas these days. One is this: the human is changing so rapidly that it's important that we have a lot of us so that the changes really stick. I hear we just reached the 7 billion mark. Seven billion humans walk the plant. We are giving birth to a new kind of human, one which can go into its own darkness, take responsibility and open to the Light. From there, many potentials for creation and love exist.
