Hello,
And welcome to this contemplative talk.
Today,
I'd like to share with you my thoughts on,
Do we change?
Yesterday,
This dilemma was robbing me of my sleep.
I was candle-gazing and thinking,
Am I changing in this very moment or not?
Am I always the same as the light within me is the same,
The divinity,
Endless,
Perfect,
Undying,
Or am I flowing and fluctuating like the life itself?
And now,
When I look back,
The answer seems simple.
It's both.
But my troubled mind wanted to know why.
It wanted to understand.
And with the last breath of a dying candle,
I remembered.
Some three years ago,
I actually already recorded a talk like that.
But it was called,
Ambitiously,
Wave-particle duality of a personality.
And it was recorded in another language.
So it didn't cross my mind.
And then I remembered that in that talk,
I compared our essence,
Our being,
To the light.
And as we know from physics,
Light is both a wave and a particle.
And in the same way,
Our souls that are the light of divinity are both long and ever-changing,
Like a wave ever vibrating with its own unique rhythm,
And also a particle,
Like a dot,
Almost invisible,
Little,
Immeasurably small dot of light in an immeasurably vast universe.
But what can be closer to infinity than just a simple dot?
This light within us shines through our lives at each given moment.
And we,
Our beings,
Our bodies that change with age,
Our thoughts that change with the way we shape them,
And our emotions that just come and go mysteriously,
All of this,
We are filters that this light shines through.
And when we change the shape and the density of this filter,
The light shows up differently.
But it only seems different.
And in fact,
Within us,
It's still the same.
The same divine light lives within every being in just the shape of this being,
Both physical and immaterial.
It shapes the way that this life and this light looks like from without.
So when we want to get closer to the divinity within us,
We don't need,
In fact,
To acquire more light.
We already have the ultimate expression of this light.
And we only need to clear this filter as much as possible to become as transparent as we can to shine this light brightly.
But this is exactly the beauty of life,
That we can never get rid of the filter.
We cannot just be the divine.
We can just reduce the obstacles between ourselves and the divine expression.
We can get rid of the shadows that we don't need.
And then the light will shine brighter.
But without any filter at all,
It would all just blur together.
And that's exactly the unique shapes of our personalities that create this diversity in our lives and the beautiful,
Enjoyable experience of this exchange.
So in fact,
We are all the same,
Deep,
Deep inside.
But it's so deep that we are never truly able to be the same.
And in this,
We can only rejoice.
And instead of separation,
We can feel a wonderful unity of the same divine light connecting and interacting seemingly through different shapes and colors to create this beautiful performance and picture of life that we enjoy and perceive with all of our senses in this mystery of being.
Thank you for sharing this space and this thought with me.
I wish you a pleasant day ahead.
Until next time.
