The answer lies within the precious earth of each of our own bodies. It is here where our own personal sun and moon reside. Symbolically our heart is our sun and the moon is our mind while the earth is our body. And herein lies the problem. Most are darkened to life, or as the old scrolls say, asleep. And from this sleep, a person of spirit, love and power must awaken. Only then may one wear the crown of light, not, as you would be led to believe, the crown of thorns of the lie.

The moon has no light of it’s own, only from the sun does it receive the light. And thus if the sun is darkened, the moon has no light to bathe the earth in nor to light our way during the darkness of night.

If our heart (sun) is darkened, our mind (moon) receives no light of spirit or wisdom or courage or common sense, and last but not least, our mind functions without the gift of love, which in this case is our intuitive knowledge. As our heart and mind stay darkened, our body suffers.

If your body is suffering, do not look to your mind first. But look to your heart, the foundation of your trinity. Has your heart been broken, but not mended? Is your heart darkened by guilt? Is your heart darkened by anger? Is your heart darkened by fear? And most importantly, is your heart darkened by the greed of materialistic accumulation?

If you answer truthfully, you will have taken the first step out of the ego sleepscape while at the same time rendering a tiny tear in the darkened shroud covering your heart. For your own sake, your families, and your community and for the earth do not stop, keep going.
