Illuminated Beings

Finding light in the world isn’t talking about love and flowers, doing yoga, going vegan.

It’s about going into the darkness of the world and, most of all, your own darkness.

If you are spouting this rhetoric all the time but only have safe conversations, only care about being liked, and surround yourself only by smiles, you have little to no light.

Light comes when you do the work of transmuting that darkness within yourself first, understanding and coming to terms with it.

No amount of hippie music, New Age bullshit or Burning Man Festivals is going to do that.

You gotta have some balls, go into the darkness, and deal with yourself first.

Once you’ve done that, once you’ve confronted the darkness of your own soul, you’ll stop talking most exclusively about light and fluffy things.

You will not shun talking about the ignored and forgotten things.
The painful, the heavy, the dark.

“Whoever battles monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster himself. And when you look long into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.” Friedrich Nietzsche

Only after having looked your own darkness straight in the eyes, after having accepted and come to terms with it, you will be able to help others discover their own light.
