Symbols of Divine White Light

 

     

    While rummaging through the Christmas decorations in our attic, deciding what to display this holiday season, the white glass angel inspired me to create an altar for the White Light of Christ consciousness, purity, and wholeness. White light contains the frequency of all the colors in the rainbow - thus its symbolism of wholeness. 

    People who report near-death experiences describe a brilliant white light that emanates unconditional love. Those who have the ability to see chakras tell us that the crown chakra, our gateway to divine love and spiritual wisdom, is white. Jesus, Mary, and the saints are pictured with halos around their heads, because their crown chakras are so brilliant. 

    I placed a white scarf on my altar table before arranging on it the white symbols. There was so little contrast between the white crystals and shells, and the white cloth, that the objects were barely noticeable. I switched the white scarf for a gray one. These symbols of divine connection are more prominent now that they are resting on a dark background. 

    Without intending to, I just demonstrated for myself why we have to experience darkness before we can appreciate the light. I know that I appreciate the coming of spring all the more after enduring a long, cold winter.  When I recover from an illness I appreciate my health more than I do when I've been well for a long time. When the leaf blowers and lawn mowers finally shut down, I enjoy the peace and quiet more than I did before the noise started. 

    What if we have to experience evil, violence, disasters and disease so that we will have a deeper desire for God's will to be done, and for heaven to come to earth? If we had never been given free will, if we had always remained connected to divine love, peace, and wholeness, we might have taken it for granted. Now that we have known evil, we can decide that we've had enough of the darkness and choose to live in the light, just as Jesus did. 

    This altar is my way of saying to the universe: I am ready to leave the darkness behind and step into the light of peace and love.

The Universal Law of Fellowship

       

       Last month I joined a group of women who are discussing the channeled works of Paul Selig. His first book is: I Am the Word which I am reading now. I have been using "I Am" affirmations for quite awhile: I Am Love, I Am Light, I Am That I Am. I Am Word is a new one for me. At first it didn't make sense, but I wanted to learn more about it, mainly because I liked the idea of being in a study group with spiritual seekers who are on a path similar to mine: women who recognize the importance of raising our individual frequencies as our contribution to the salvation of Mother Earth and humanity.

       Before I even started to read the book, my first thoughts about the Word took me back to the Bible where John says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1)." As it turns out, this scriptural passage is referred to in the book which also explains: "The Word is the vibration of God in action. Word is action. It is creation. When we say "I Am Word" we are decreeing ourselves as the Creator in action."

       The Bible verse goes on to say: "He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." Christians believe that the word is Jesus, and that Jesus is an aspect of God who helped to create the universe. 

       When we say "I Am the Word" we affirm that each one of God's children is a co-creator, and that we all have the potential to attain the Christ consciousness that Jesus and others have demonstrated. Those who achieve this Christed vibration experience the oneness of everything. For them it is more than an ideal - it is a knowing.

       The path to Christ consciousness is a rocky one. Jesus said: " . . . the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few (Matt. 7-14)." Because the path is so difficult it really helps to have the support of fellow travelers. While I don't believe there is only one way to achieve Christ consciousness, I do think it will help to choose a path that I won't have to travel alone. 

       Jesus said: "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them (Matt. 18:20)."  This is also known as The Universal Law of Fellowship: "When two or more people of similar vibration are gathered for a shared purpose, their combined energy directed to the attainment of that purpose is multiplied." 

       This is why I have joined the group of women who are studying Selig's channeled works. Our shared purpose is to raise our combined consciousness in order to make a positive difference in the world. Together I hope that we can help to build a bridge of oneness that humanity so needs more of if it is to thrive.
