My-11: Trance Writing JournalsEntry #289908
Trance Writing challenges the thought process while disallowing emotion and ego. It is the essence of listening to the inner voice. Today I will attempt to come to terms with my longstanding struggle with darkness' place in my life. I've come to accept that I gave it far too much value and hope this cleansing process I call Trance Writing will help reprioritize the Light in my Life.

Coming to terms with Life is a complicated process. In doing so, it is entirely necessary to face the mirror and question the image.

Dabbling in the past is easier when you only see the light. We’ve all had our share of darkness, too. And in those moments that the darkness is chosen, have we always been confident that we would find the light dwelling inside? It’s so easy to say, “ I’ve failed again.” Or not.

Certainly there have been times when Light was a perpetual flame illuminating the darkness. But the moment the flame flickered or grew dim, the darkness consumed the air and chocked the Light, reminding us that the darkness still remained. And thus the conflict ensues. Withdrawing from darkness does allow the Light to resonate freely. But what conflict is that? Is it not the duty of Light to consume darkness and illuminate.

         Light begets Light ....... darkness sighs

         Light begets dark ........ darkness tries

         Light replaces dark ...... darkness dies


It's been said the Devil is the most devote believer because he’s had first-hand experience with the Creator. We really should use the knowledge to our advantage, but reverse the lesson. Perhaps striping the demon’s presence and choosing not to believe in the entity as a whole would further empower the Light. Consider evil when confronted with its tenacity, and deal with it as little ripples, little pockets of ill wind and not the tornado it longs to be. Personifying evil is empowering it.

Applying this lesson to daily life does help to put everything in perspective. Disallowing darkness instead of trying to replace it seems to be a manageable task and perhaps one we can succeed at. However, one can’t help but wonder if the flame were ignited long enough, would it succeed at perpetually illuminating some of the darkness?

This writing is not simply about “Seeking the Light” because there is nothing easy about accomplishing the task. Recognizing the Light can often be the truest challenge. And how can it be achieved?

Progression/regression of the soul is a conscious choice we all face daily. We make the decision with full knowledge of the consequences. Delaying the choice is denying Life. Living the choice is a daily struggle. Making the wrong choice, can be devastating. Some never recover, some barely recover. And then there are those that evolve and grow from discovering the truth and embrace the correct choices, thusly embracing the Light. Those are the flames that shine brightest in the darkness. That Light is quite recognizable when the flames of wisdom are ignited by the Creator himself.
