I would like to ask you to pause a moment and say out loud Let There Be Light! You can speak them softly or loudly as you wish. It doesn’t matter if you are sitting alone in your home reading this or if you are on a crowded metro or subway. Even if it is just a whisper, speak these words out loud.

Let There Be Light!

 We have to free the spark within and allow it to express itself through us, we have to free God to act.

Try saying those words again. Let There Be Light!

 This is not some proud, false proclamation of the human ego. Imagine giving this command from the human ego, in a proud, arrogant way.Can you see and feel there is a huge vibrational difference?

 It is always important that we always align our purposes and focus with Divine Principles or higher intelligence, God’s will. It has to come from our true center, the place of purity, holiness, reality, our inviolate true divine nature – theindwelling God Self – expressing itself through us.

How do we determine whether we are centered in God or speaking from the wrong place or motive? Conscience! Integrity! Acting with integrity in the moment of choice, deeply from our conscience, will help us determine our motive and our expression and the true nature of it.

In the beginning was the Word! We are that Word; it is what gives us permanence.

LET THERE BE LIGHT!
