Clear light. Pure light. Rainbow light. The light that surpasses cognition. The light that disavows duality. The light that is not separate from darkness. How do we walk toward it? How do we recognize it? How does it change the way we see-hear-feel-think-sense-know?
Contemplate your typical associations with light. Are they of the “spiritual” garden variety? Do you use or routinely hear terms such as “love and light”? Do you see yourself as being of the light, or does that feel too abstract or out of context to you? Think about the necessity of light. Think about your own periods of “seeing the light.” Do you retreat from cosmic light, as described in the meditation? Or do you move toward it and recognize your identity within it? Let all of your thoughts coalesce before you move on to the writing exercise.
Writing Prompt: Respond to the following questions:
How does cosmic light express itself in me?
What is the source of my own light?
How does it manifest?
What does it feel like?
Alternatively, write your story of cosmic light. Imagine the moment you came into existence as you. Imagine that the cosmic light itself had a message for you. What was it?
