I am the light of the world ~ A Course in Miracles
Many of us grew up believing we did not have much to contribute to the world or our fellow humans. I certainly believed that. How about you?
If you grew up Catholic, as I did, your sense of self-worth was pretty miserable. The admission “I am not worthy” was enshrined as part of the ceremonial liturgy.
It took me many years to get beyond that nonsense. Some never get that far.
Spirit
We want all of you “to get beyond that nonsense,” as Johnny put it.
You do no one, nor yourselves, any favors by “playing small.” You truly are the light of the world—every one of you.
Until you fully embrace those words and fully integrate them into your life, you are not honoring who you truly are and why you are here.
You are here because you are a powerful being of light who has come to transform your world from the illusion of darkness to the brilliance of the light you all are.
That, pure and simple, is your purpose. It is your duty to be truly helpful to those of your sisters and brothers who are struggling in the darkness.
This is who you are—a child of the Divine who has come to restore sanity and light to a world plunged into the illusion of darkness.
Let your light shine. Quit hiding it. Now!

¨You are here because you are a powerful being of light who has come to transform your world from the illusion of darkness to the brilliance of the light you all are.¨
I do not buy that. Yes, the light is real but so is the darkness (figuratively speaking). Denying is something we love to do especially when it comes to our fears. Our purpose, from my point of view and from a larger perpective is to expand the Universe. We do this by having experiences within the context of Free Will and this ensures that there will always be some darkness since change is a constant. That puts a lot of muscle in Intent. So Love IS the answer when it comes to the relativity between Light and Darkness (Love vs. Fear) but as far as humans are concerned there will always exist contrast. That is what helps us to continue the adventure and that is exactly how the Creator wants it. It will never be a rose garden and that is perfect just as said in the Upanishads:(translation)
That is perfect, this is perfect, perfect comes from perfect
Take perfect from perfect, the remainder is perfect
May peace and peace and peace be everywhere.
