The More Conscious You Are, The More Light You Hold
Part 2 of the Shadow Work & Light Series
Let’s begin with the truth
It’s not that the more light you hold, the more conscious you become.
It’s the other way around:
The more conscious you are, the more light you hold.
Faith shows us this first.
Consciousness isn’t born from light.
Light is born from consciousness.
In the beginning, before the expansion of galaxies and the illumination of stars, there was only awareness, conscious, formless, and vast.
And from that awareness, light emerged.
So when we speak of becoming more spiritual, more connected, more illuminated, what we are truly speaking of is a returning to consciousness. And the more deeply we awaken to this awareness, of self, of spirit, of soul, the more light we naturally carry.
Faith is the First Gate to Light
Faith is not just belief in something unseen, it’s the rhythm of your inner truth.
It’s your spiritual pulse.
And it’s from this rhythm that insight is born.
This insight is not memorized from books or downloaded through doctrine.
Rather, it flows organically when your faith aligns with the awareness of your existence.
Do you need a certain church?
A particular teacher?
A perfect path to be faithful?
No.
Words are just codes to stir memory.
But consciousness already exists.
And with it, your light exists too, patient, waiting, pure.
So when we begin to awaken, to notice, to feel, to connect with truth beyond fear
that is when our light expands.
Spiritual Insight Is Light Remembered
Spiritual insight is not something you acquire.
It is something you reveal from within.
It is the awareness that comes when your faith in your path becomes stronger than your fear of it.
It is the peace that rises when you no longer need external permission to know that you are whole.
This is the gift of consciousness, it contains light.
And the more conscious you become of your actions, your healing, your intentions, your soul…
the more light you radiate.
Light Is Not a Thing, It Is a Result
So what is light, really?
Light is wisdom.
Light is love.
Light is forgiveness.
Light is restoration.
Light is transformation.
Light is truth.
Light is presence.
Light is peace.
Light is faith in action.
And all of these are expressions of the conscious mind awakened.
Light is not the source.
Consciousness is.
When you expand your consciousness, by prayer, meditation, introspection, presence, stillness, and truth
you are not adding light to yourself, you are uncovering the light that was already there.
To Hold More Light, Be More Aware
This journey is not about becoming perfect.
It’s about becoming aware, deeply, fully, and courageously.
When you’re conscious of your thoughts, you can choose peace.
When you’re conscious of your emotions, you can choose healing.
When you’re conscious of your darkness, you can choose to transform it into light.
You are not here to become the light.
You are already the light
you are just remembering.
And the more you remember,
the more conscious you become.
And the more conscious you become,
the more light you hold.
