Introduction.

Hi kids! Greetings! I want to take this time to send out to all of you a very special welcome. This set of the newsletters is written especially for you.

LIGHT TIMES is a newsletter. It is a newsletter that supports LIGHT. I know without any doubt that you know what LIGHT is.

LIGHT.

LIGHT is a supportive, encouraging, inclusive, uplifting, inspiring, and therefore deeply loving energy.

LIGHT TIMES is a vehicle for The LIGHT Community. If you resonate with the idea and feeling of LIGHT, you are invited to participate in these newsletters and in The Living Light Center -- the sponsor of the LIGHT TIMES newsletters.

Part 1 - Life.

Life is so much bigger than most of us here on Earth are taught. Sometimes it can get so frustrating we feel like we could burst!

Well ... my hope is that remembering and discussing LIGHT will open doors and windows ... will feel like what we've been searching for all along ... and will feel like we've come home.

LIGHT.

LIGHT is energy. Specifically, LIGHT is an energy that shares information.

LIGHT. Energy. Information.

Information is an energy, a feeling, a frequency that is integrated and grounded in the whole. Information is LIGHT.

It is impossible to keep people from their LIGHT. This is because LIGHT is a flame. It burns on and on. In some of us it may be just a spark; in others it burns very brightly -- in all of us it is inside.

Part 2 - Life is about true learning.

So ... LIGHT. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is within you. LIGHT is within all of us.

Life is about learning.

Now ... learning is not about how intelligent you are. You are all very intelligent. Intelligence is a given; it is a birthright -- everyone's birthright.

Learning is related to intention.

What is one's intention for learning something? In other words, what is it that you want to learn and what is your intention for learning it? This is not usually mentioned, but it is of utmost importance.

Consider the following example:

You are gathering info for a project. It's coming along nicely. The pieces are falling into their places smoothly. Then you have the sense that something important is missing. You search and search, but what you find is just not it. Suddenly information is presented to you that crystallizes the whole project. It all fits now and you know it.

This is an example of LIGHT. Incorporating both intention and this sense into our learning process can significantly increase the joy in our daily lives.

Life is about learning -- true learning. True learning comes from a synthesis of intention ( "What is it that I want to learn and what is my intention for learning it?" ) and the sense that the information presented is integrated with the whole of Life.

So ... life is about true learning.

Part 3 - The "Isness" of Life.

LIGHT. LIGHT is an energy. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is a high frequency.

LIGHT is also an energy that adds to us, that makes us "bigger," that fills us up ... from the inside out.

So often in our lives, there are distractions. Tvs, stereos, computers, busywork, and lots of talking are common examples in our world today. Almost constantly it seems as though there is so much going on at once.

Well ... it's okay to turn off the tv and/or stereo. It's okay to sit in silence, to be quiet. It's okay. It's not boring and it's not being lazy. It just is. The "isness" of Life.

You see, the distractions don't really fill us up. They just give the illusion of filling us up. Distractions tend to come from outside of us. Plus they move energy away from us, which can be draining. Distractions can be draining.

Being filled up is something that comes from within us. This is because we are always connected to the source of this energy, this LIGHT. It is universal. It is everywhere and it is always available to us. To everyone. Always. No exceptions.

Part 4 - Life is about remembering our LIGHT.

LIGHT. LIGHT is an energy. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is a high frequency.

So ... taking time for quit fills us up from the inside.

There is big difference between energy moving within us from its universal source -- filling us -- and energy moving away from us -- not filling us ( and possibly draining us ). LIGHT is an example of an energy that is universal and fills us.

With a time-out for quiet, relaxation, and breathing while focusing on LIGHT, we fill ourselves up naturally from the inside out.

So ... LIGHT is an energy that fills us up.

With so many distractions going on in the world, it is nice to know that there is LIGHT. LIGHT is here now.

LIGHT is here now to remind us:

LIGHT is here now to balance the chaos. LIGHT is here now to calm things down. LIGHT is here now to nurture us, to nourish us, to give us a breather. LIGHT is here now to give us the feeling of "Ah. Now I can relax."

Part 5 - LIGHT is good for EARTH.

LIGHT. LIGHT is an energy. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is a high frequency.

So ... LIGHT is here to remind us. LIGHT nurtures us. LIGHT nourishes us.

LIGHT also nurtures and nourishes the planet we live on. LIGHT is a very nurturing and nourishing energy. For those of us who care about EARTH, it is very good to know that LIGHT is good for EARTH.

LIGHT.

Sometimes it is easy to feel almost hopeless about the situation here on EARTH. Life has gotten so complicated and fast-paced; it can feel crazy. But LIGHT can change this. Just by focusing on it. It really is that simple.

Focusing on LIGHT is very powerful stuff. Focusing on LIGHT increases the inner calm -- so much so that after awhile the world outside us appears calmer too.

The following is FOCALIZING LIGHT EXERCISE. You are welcome to try it and adapt it as needed. It can be done anytime, anywhere.

(1) Make yourself comfortable.

(2) Close your eyes -- if you wish.

(3) Focus your attention inside you.

(4) Breathe.

(5) Relax.

(6) Find the spark of LIGHT within you -- yes, it's in there.

(7) Breathe into this LIGHT, your LIGHT.

(8) Notice how it expands.

(9) Breathe with it.

(10)See how much you can hold in any given moment.

Part 6 - LIGHT is very powerful.

So ... LIGHT is good for EARTH.

LIGHT. LIGHT is an energy. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is a high frequency.

LIGHT is a very powerful energy.

Power. A big word these days. Usually, though, power is misunderstood. Why is this? Well ... power is an inside job. Power is within everyone. Power is our inner strength! Power is really not something we obtain from outside ourselves.

Really. Think about it. Power is a feeling. It is within us -- which is where feelings live. Within.

This is one reason why the novelty of new things wears off so fast. The satisfied feeling usually doesn't last. It's as if somewhere inside us we know that the new ____ we have been gifted with is not really it for us. It cannot satisfy us. This is because when we are honest with ourselves, we realize it is not what we are searching for -- not really.

There isn't anything wrong with buying this or that. It's just that buying this or that for the purpose of trying to fill us up or trying to feel powerful doesn't work. These things are not substitutes for what is within us. Our LIGHT.

So what do we do?

Remember LIGHT.

Remember the LIGHT within.

Practice the FOCALIZING LIGHT EXERCISE.

Increase the quiet in our lives.

Get to know ourselves from the inside out.

Part 7 - The power in getting to know ourselves.

LIGHT. LIGHT is an energy. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is a high frequency.

So ... power is an inside job.

The challenge is for us to get to know ourselves from the inside out.

This takes practice. This takes self-discipline. This takes commitment.

No, it isn't hard to do. It just takes practice. Just like practically any new skill we wish to develop in ourselves takes practice. There is no difference.

When we become more and more familiar with ourselves from the inside out, something happens. For example: Our self-esteem increases -- we feel better about ourselves. Our sense of inner calm develops and after awhile the world outside us seems calmer too. Life feels better and better until life feels good. We feel as if we are in the flow and it feels good.

It shows up first on a subtle level, and then it becomes increasingly more obvious with time.

Part 8 - LIGHT is a big solution.

LIGHT. LIGHT is an energy. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is a high frequency.

So ... getting to know ourselves is full of wonderful surprises.

LIGHT becomes a solution for us and our lives and LIGHT is a solution for Planet Earth. Cool, isn't it?

The overall reason why LIGHT is such a big solution is because of its frequency. LIGHT is a high frequency energy. This means that LIGHT carries a resonance, that LIGHT is a higher level quality of energy movement. This frequency, this resonance, this quality is one that gives to, fills, nurtures, nourishes, and deeply loves from deep within.

Part 9 - Summary.

LIGHT. LIGHT is an energy. LIGHT is information. LIGHT is a high frequency.

LIGHT is within you. LIGHT is within all of us.

LIGHT is a supportive, encouraging, inclusive, uplifting, inspiring, and therefore deeply loving energy.

LIGHT gives to, fills, nurtures, nourishes, and deeply loves.

LIGHT is an energy that shares information.

LIGHT is an energy, a feeling, a frequency that is integrated and grounded in the whole.

Life is about learning -- true learning. True learning comes from a synthesis of intention ( "What is it that I want to learn and what is my intention for learning it?" ) and the sense that the information presented is integrated with the whole of Life.

LIGHT is an energy that fills us up from the inside out. We are always connected to the source of this energy -- this LIGHT. It is universal, it is everywhere, and it is always available to us.

LIGHT is here to remind us: LIGHT nurtures us. LIGHT nourishes us. LIGHT calms us.

LIGHT is good for EARTH too: LIGHT nurtures, nourishes, and calms EARTH.

LIGHT is a very powerful energy -- power is an inside job.

Getting to know ourselves is full of wonderful surprises.
