Go Toward the Light

Remember the movie Ghost? Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg? Remember the part about going toward the light? When the bad guys died, they were hunted down by scary dark shadow creatures and when Patrick Swayze (the good guy) died, he was encouraged to go toward the light (especially by Whoppi Goldberg). But in the movie Patrick Swayze decided to postpone the Light so he could take care of Demi Moore and tell her that he loved her instead of saying "Ditto." He finally did go to the Light, though somewhat reluctantly. His reluctance kind of bugged me, because I don't believe for a second that someone who died would delay going into the Light. But that's just me.

While we're on the subject of that movie, one more thing I didn't buy was the scary dark shadow creatures that hunted down the dead bad guys. Come on. Would God make scary dark shadow creatures? One of these days I'll download a video for you of Kalindi talking about the Beautiful Gem. You'll like that because it blows up this "if you're bad, you will go to hell" idea. I think that anyone and everyone who dies goes toward the Light. They get to come back and try again, but they also get to be in the Light. A God with that policy is the one I endorse.

Anyway, the point is that going toward the Light is a good thing to do, even if you're not dead. What is the Light? I would say it is the truest part of yourself, the feeling of being connected with God, love, truth, letting go and having a good attitude. Oh, and having a sense of humor and sense of compassion. These are all "Light" things to go toward.

The closer you get to these "Light" things, the more light can hold. But if you spend too much time on the negative stuff or on trying to fix something you think is wrong with you, it starts to feel like those scary shadow creatures are after you.

So, go toward the Light, Grasshopper. And have a nice evening.
