In The World, But Not Of It

For all you lonely starseeds out there, I have and idea that you may find interesting. It is nothing more than a simple analogy, but I think it has real literary potential.

What many of us are concerned with, is spreading light. One way or another, we are shedding light on the dark recesses of this human world, the light of love.

Now think about sources of light, lamps, the sun, etc. A single light bulb can light up an entire room, but it is necessarily too bright to look at directly. It's brightness makes it impossible to maintain visual contact with for an extended period of time.

We, the starseeds, are spiritual light bulbs, here to shed light so others can see, but often ignored ourselves. We shine bright, blindingly bright with love, but often so bright that it is blinding for anyone to look at directly. They cannot see us, but we help them to see.

From here comes the concept "being in the world, but not of it". We live in this world, we are here with it, but we provide for its development rather than work to maintain its status quo. We are here to usher in a new revolution, a revolution of light.

Thanks for reading.

@Yshatar--glad you liked it, and thank you, you too are truly light. Couldn't have posted it if this site wasn't here! Haha. Thanks again, much love to you.

@CATWOMAN--What can I say...thank you so much!!! I really glad you liked it so much. Feel free to use it in your own writing if you want, or whatever!

@Chelsea Michelle--Thanks. I try to keep it simple, because as I once heard in a rap song, the ones who make it complicated never get congratulated!

@Sabrina--Thanks for the kind words, and I'm so glad it resonated with you. Hugs to you too!

@ashleyellow--Thank you! Well I personally wouldn't go that far...I was revising it and adding to it in my head all day today...but it does have a nice ring to it, I think. Perfect is another powerfully evocative word and I'm very appreciative that you used it to describe my writing. So thanks!

@Richard--Thanks so much Richard!

@Mayelin--Thank you very much Mayelin. That's very kind of you to say!

Once again, thank you all for the enthusiatic feedback!
