Light Of My Life
Edited extract from a transcript of a talk at the Master Session 8 November 2000.
Your consciousness is a light. And that light is behind your life: ‘Light of my life’.
What you are is the life immediately inside your body. You couldn’t move your hand or walk around if you weren’t alive with life. And then there’s living - your circumstantial, existential, physical bodily living. But you’re not just that. You are the light behind it. You’re the light of consciousness behind the intelligence of the ego, which is there guarding your body. You are the intelligence behind the mind. You are the intelligence behind the emotion. And then, as the intelligence speeds up to where I’m talking about it, there is the pure light of consciousness. And that, of course, is the God in you.
You are far more conscious than you can possibly imagine or know. For consciousness is directing every moment of your life. And every moment of your life is to give you the necessary experience to light up the perfect body of consciousness behind the life in you - 'your lights’. You’ll recall the quotation from a prophet a couple of thousand years ago: 'Every good and perfect gift comes down from above from the Father of Lights.’ You are a light and in your light there are the numerous lights of numerous lives. They come from consciousness, not from your personal life. (What you call your person will never, ever be seen again). The numerous lights light up your perfect body and come together as a light.
You and Your Light
