When I contemplate the sun, I consider pure, untainted, unadulterated purpose. I think of all- embracing, non-judgemental, unconditional, altruistic service. I cannot for one moment conceive that sun decides upon what to shine it’s light. Nor does it feel guilty at not reaching the face of the earth when clouds obscure the sun. It keeps on shining never thinking to pause for one instant. It gives everything in every moment. It doesn’t even need to trust that it will be replenished of energy. It simply is...
We all have a light within our hearts that is ever shining like the sun too. I especially see it in those who are of divine serve and surrendered to the eternal flow of divine consciousness having let go all that no longer serves, whatever that leads to.
This ‘Light’ emerges from the eternal source, an ever flowing spring that is constantly replenished. If I cease to feel it within myself and lose inner peace, it is because my consciousness is centred elsewhere (i.e. in the external conundrum of life) and I am not in that moment aligned to my true purpose in life.
As long as I feel pulled from my centre there is something powerful to learn about where I am getting stuck. An attachment is unveiled and I am invited to let go of it so that I can realign with divine consciousness and allow it to flow unhindered through every part of me.
If I am pulled from my centre of peace into the dark clouds, I observe and see what they reveal to me. I would allow myself to dwell in the darkness in order to go into the heart of it, to understand where I am being held back and then releasing whatever it is I am holding that is preventing my evolution. These times, to me have frequently felt like the ‘dark night of my soul’, at which times it has felt nigh on impossible to see any traces of ‘light’ anywhere. Yet, in the heart of anything there is always a way through. The light still shines despite even the darkest of clouds. We might see just the faintest hint of light burning through. It is to that which I turn my inner eye until it grows stronger and stronger, until it begins to illuminate the dissolve and release the darkness.
With Love

Ditto ditto ditto and all of the above. 
It feels that I'm being given so many opportunities to feel the darkness to it's core at the moment, not in a bad way, a fight or surrender situation presents itself, be it big or small, every day. And when I walk through it, the sunshine is there, warm and giving, in my surrender, and all the brighter in it's joy that I've learned another lesson.

Life really does feel divine when we begin to embrace the fact that every time we are knocked off our centre we are invited to look at whatever it is inside that we are holding on that no longer serves our divine purpose. I know that whenever I am knocked off my centre it is about something within me... some tightness, or blockage internally that allows me to become uncentred as a result of the interaction. Even if I am feeling the impact of someone elses energy, my uncentredness (which is really just misalignment to the flow of divine consciousness) is still because of something within myself. It is entirely upto us how we respond to these realisations... i.e. with integrity and profound self honesty or denial. In attuning to the 'Light', we move through the internal darkness/blockage etc; confronting it head on, allowing it to dissolve along the way.
It feels so powerful that you have found the strength to explore the darkness, knowing that you have a choice whether or not to look at what is causing the tightness within you that has brought you there. So often the darkness is denied only to be dealt with 'next' time (if ever).
I found that learning to forgive myself became important on my journey. For every time that I lost my centre and made choices that were less than congruent with higher purpose, I realised that the next moment offered a new choice.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post here 
. It's wonderful to feel the resonance between our two journey's at this time. It takes great courage to be absolutely honest with oneself. I really sense that in you.
In Love and Light

Just as leaves fall in the autumn, we must honour our natural internal changes and harmonise activities with the seasons.
Centre in your absolute authentic reality; dissolve fear doubt and worry; walk your true path in life..."Unfolding into Light"
Dark nights that can last through the day
Trin - thank you so much for your posting on this. This describes so well the kind of things I've been experiencing recently.
I seem to go through wonderful days when all I see is light reflected in others back to me and I feel restful in my heart. Opportunities arise to share this light with others which feels so uplifting and peaceful, it's really wonderful.
Then other days, when I know I am directly challenged with an experience to test how 'centred' I really can be, I find a tightness arising and the light fades as I disappear into the mist. Only by recognising the reason for the mist and being ok with it can I come back to my centre.
Of course, I can also knowingly take myself off centre when my desires or wants pull me in a certain direction. However, as long as I keep observing myself doing this and remain in awareness, the moment passes and I can re-centre myself. It's not easy and sometimes the pull is almost overwhelming, but through facing the reason behind the pull I can see clearly why it's bringing darkness into my life. Then the mist begins to lift and the light pours back in.
I've found also that when this happens, I align myself with a greater love, the divine consciousness, so that the tightness disappears and my feelings merge into an expanded field of all encompassing love and energy of which we're all part of, rather than, for example, concentrating my love on a particular person. It is taking some time to achieve this daily, but in each moment I am presented with that choice, I am given an opportunity to decide how I want to feel. Tight or expanded. Dark or light. Sometimes I find I have to explore the dark, in order to come through and feel the light. And sometimes it's just wonderful to tune in and bask in the sunshine!
