1 John 2:8 … The True Light shining (01/07/17)
“The Darkness is passing away …
And the true Light is already shining.”
~ unknown (1 John 2:8)
In one sense the “Darkness” in this verse is the fundamental background of the passive-state Universe, and as such cannot recede on its own … Indeed, it is Light that must first be shown into its vastness to send its shadows into retreat and illuminate its innate and ultimate brilliance …
Similarly, a deep internal “Darkness” is embedded in this verse as well — the primordial, subconscious basis of the selfish, instinct-driven human being — and as such the “sinful” nature of the same cannot recede on its own either. No, here as well the Light (in this case, the Light of Love) must be shined upon it as well; the Light must be blazed directly into its fearful depths in order to burn away its pitch black fog and rekindle the wonders of the Soul-Self that rests even deeper still therein.
Amen … Let it shine so.
