This one, as always, arrived (magically, coincidently, mystically) right on time for me. I was just experiencing a mess of mental turmoil over a report in the local news of a brutal, senseless murder. Thanks for coming to my rescue. Kenton,

Love the clarity of your posts. I've just been through a situation where even though the players were different, I was feeling and experiencing the same stuff. Again. But this time I was aware, and able to relax, and allow myself to see how I was creating it... rather than blindly react to what I thought was true. The world is such a magical place. And articles like this really make my heart smile. Much joy, KL Kenton,

You are awesome.

As Steve says, this just came at the right time for me as well. You have put it so succinctly & clearly, that it just makes perfect sense. I'm going to turn the flashlight off. Thank you.

It is indeed amazing how we can find ourselves in the same patterns, and then suddenly see those patterns unfolding. That's part of the world-magic you describe -- thanks for always making that magic visible to those you share with. Fondly, Kenton Dear Kara-Leah,

It was quite an interesting experience, and I'm happy that it could translate into a valuable example for you. I always enjoy hearing from you, and would love to hear how the 'turning off' goes.

That must have been an awesome experience! I have often fantasized about being able to visit such a place and feel the resonance of long past lives and experiences. The people who built them were, to say the least, fascinating. As for the shining of the light into darkness: I thought first of a black hole (as in outer space) and imagined that you were in the midst of shining your light into a space from which it could not escape and/or reflect. This is also a metaphor for our endless seeking in darkness for the light. We are shining our energy into realms of darkness that reflect no light. It is only when we stop this vain attempt that we are quietly and wondrously bathed in the light of Self awareness and the accompanying peace it brings. We need to stop trying to get black holes to reflect what is not there nor ever will be. Peace, my friend. Jerry Kenton,

I've long wondered what it would be like to walk through such a place. This site was extra fascinating because only a small percentage of the ruins were excavated -- the rest were just rocky mounds in the forest, completely covered by centuries of growth. It certainly is amazing to think that people once lived there . . . I enjoyed your thoughts regarding light and darkness, as well. Thank you for sharing with me and all the other readers.
