Living Light

Who is a Light Bearer? One who brings light into the world by any act of service, kindness, or self sacrifice for others...  a smile on the street, a friendly gesture, picking up a stray piece of trash; giving or volunteering to help others; the sacrifice one makes for a spouse, child or neighbor; tolerance of others, then acceptance, then love; working for the greater good, protecting Mother Earth, teaching from the heart and asking nothing in return. Light bearers may support other light bearers, near or far, by putting into the ethers heart felt blessings, or heart felt wishes of gratitude, respect and honor. This benefits both the giver and receiver!

An ideal is a vision perfection we nurture and strive to attain. When our ideal is shattered on the rocks of reality - it is only its limitation that is shattered, opening the door for us to find it again in a greater form. An ideal is the means to growth, but its breaking is the means to evolution. If your ideal is not shattered, you will never see what lies beyond it. Make not an idol of your ideal! Hazrat Inayat Khan wrote: "The God-ideal is the flower of creation, and the realization of truth is its fragrance." "In all directions of progress the ideal is the compass that shows the way." "You must find your ideal in yourself; no ideal in life will prove lasting and true except the one you yourself make."
