Shining the Light On Ego Darkness

Failure to perceive light is to perceive darkness.
ACIM Lesson 91: 2:6

There is always light even when we perceive darkness.  Darkness doesn't remove light, it just hides it.  Light, however, when it  is seen,  removes darkness because darkness isn't real.

Huh?

When we are perceiving "problems" or finding ourselves in some dark place emotionally, mentally or physically...we need to remember that the light is still there.  We are just not seeing it.  We are actually choosing not to see it because we are agreeing with ego which tells us that darkness is all there is.  Darkness is weakness, a sense of helplessness, belief in limitation, doubt and illusion. Darkness is of ego.

We cannot see what is right in front of us sometimes because of it. We cannot see the solution, the miracle, or the Love and support. So we stumble around, getting more and more lost in this dark room of our own making when all we really  need to do is allow the light in.

Reach for the Switch

We need to stop listening to ego's nonsense about how "bad or wrong" things are and just be willing to turn on the light. When we are willing to see light, when we turn to the Source of Light and reach for the switch, miracles happen.  Strength will replace weakness; power will replace helplessness; unlimited potential will replace limitation; certainty will replace doubt;  and reality will replace illusion.  The light will shine the darkness away and we will see.  Just reach for the switch.

....your efforts, however meager, are fully supported by the strength of God and all His Thoughts.  It is from Them that your strength will come.
