There are so many people who, because of their own darkness, cannot stand someone standing in light. And yet, that is your strength, it is who you are.
You may be shunned for it. People will make up stories about you. Ignore you, or attack you. Because when that light is a lot dimmer, they feel comfortable.
Please, shine anyway. You have no idea who and how many you are helping, by inviting others to shine like you. I wish you could see that. You can still invite the others who do not wish you well. Don't try to change for them, or be defensive. They will even slander, gossip, and pull others into their delusion.
I wish I could show you the power and the brilliance of your own light.
We need you. Here. Be a beacon.
Great words from Brene Brown:
"Our worth and our belonging are not negotiated with other people. If I negotiate myself with you, then I may fit in with you, but I will no longer belong to myself. And that is a betrayal I’m not willing to do anymore, to betray myself to fit in with you."
Think, for a second, of someone you know, who shines, with that inner light. You sense it around them, and it brightens up the room, almost heals it. You feel better around them. It is also their own personal protection, a boundary, a spiritual immunity.
Now, there are also times when the safety of the womblike darkness, a deep silent darkness, is the medicine. That is a healing. The womb of the goddess, the safety of the void, a place to just be.
Much of my work these days is shamanic, and spirit release, and compassionate depossession is a big part of it.
There are some entities who are afraid of the light, or hate it, or have been taught to be afraid of it.
Showing them the light of their own soul can start the process of their healing, and inevitable next step of going to a place that is better for them, and better for the client (they are actually both my clients).
Not all human spirits go to the light. Some were taught to go into the earth, or to cross a body of water. The portal for some is another dimension, or back to their planet, or, deep into the void of the darkness.
Some who have had an exhausting and traumatic time of it this go round need the healing of that dark and neutral void, before taking a next step.
And there are times, in this work, that I can cloak some of my light, to make those beings more comfortable. All the brilliance of the Archangels at once would be too much for them.
And that’s ok.
You see, I haven’t changed my light, just cloaked it, in a compassionate way, for some entities.
Did you ever go from a darkened room, like a theatre, into a room with bright lights? It almost hurts.
You need some time to adjust.
Perhaps, it is that way with the humans, who want you to dampen your light, and who will try to knock you off your center, throw you under the bus, to do it.
I see this every single day; aimed at me, aimed at others.
It is the cause of so much pain in communities, and the world.
Be that shining light of yours! And, be vigilant. But still be compassionate to those who are not able to have it.
It is not your job to convince them, to heal them, and it may hurt to have to exclude yourself from them. Feel that pain, and breathe through it.
Some broken places cannot be mended.
And continue to fountain that light, as it feeds the earth, feeds us, and radiates back to you and your path, like a toroidal loop.
And, I promise, others will come to you, with a shine that resonates with yours. There is community for you, and they will come to you.
They are all around you, actually, just living their lives, and quietly shining.
And the pain of having to dampen your light, or be punished for your light, excluded because of your light, will start to heal on it’s own.
Acknowledge it, though.
Remember, you cannot change or fix them, as they have their own path, and lessons. Always, though, invite them. Let that door be ajar.
And, allow them gently to exit your field of energy, the way leaves on a tree show their true colors in autumn, and with the ease of gravity, and the spirit of the wind, effortlessly grace the ground.
You are here for the long haul. You have deep roots. You are not going anywhere (and we need you, dear one).
The simple shining, into a world of pain, and ego, and hatred, is, in itself, a political act.
This is your gentle wake up call.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify God in heaven.…
