On Stars and Streetlights

"We want our egos to be our allies, not our slaves or masters." --T. Thorn Coyle

A couple of weeks ago, I was at my job on a short cigarette break. I go outside to see waxing moon that was almost full, but even more so, the amount of stars I had seen around my house the night before when I wasn't working had appeared to diminish. Good old light poullution huh?

A co worker then came outside shortly after me and commented the same thing, saying that barely any stars were out tonight. I replied saying that the stars were always there, save for the fact that our man-made lights were blotting out their appearance in the sky. And as I said those words, I had an epiphany of sorts. It was actually very cool.

I have heard it said that the voice of the Highest Self is very soft and is usually blocked out by the Ego. That we need to be very quiet and listen with discernment to make out the voice of the Holy Guardian Angel. From there, we will see the brilliance of our own divine natures.

In my own studies, I have found that the Highest Self/God Soul/Holy Guardian Angel corresponds with the highest chakra: the Sahasrara. The seat of divine consciousness and spirituality. The Ego corresponds with the Aura which is none other than the emission of all the six lower chakras radiating from a person to create a field of energy about them.

This Aura, this Luciferean light, is quite bright. Were more people clairvoyant, they would feel strain looking at the masses of auras of other people. However, the Light of the Highest Self in the Sahasrara is much brighter, though it's brilliance is dimmed by the aura's emanation.

Just light a street light is really bright up close compared to a star which would incinerate us within thousands (if not millions) of miles to it's proximity; so does the Ego's light pale in comparison to the light of the God Soul.

Does that strike a bell? It should. Cause in the same way that our man made lights blot out starlight, so does our own light based on earthly needs, blot out the shining of our divine selves. And if one were to see past the light of their own projections, they would behold a greater luminescence of spirit that far outshines the Ego.

But does that mean that the Ego is evil? No! It is a construct in man that is of great use to him. Just as streetlights were made to give us light, so does the ego help us. However, just as streetlights are not the end all to light in the night sky, neither is the Ego the end all to our spiritual luminescence.

As the quote says at the top of this post: The Ego should be our ally, not our slave nor our master. If artifical light of man can be used to help us in darkness, so can the auric light be of use to us should we use it responsibly.

That is one of the big challenges of being human. Flawed, yet Divine.
