"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Genesis 1:1-3.

     To see the world with a 'single eye' is to know that there is only one reality and it is a sacred reality, emanating from the One. 

     Within this reality are forces of light and darkness that are part of the structure of Creation, having manifested when all things emerged from the original Unity.  Light and darkness are cosmic forces as well as motivational forces that exist within human consciousness.  As such, they have intentionality, will, purpose, as well as the capacity to influence human affairs.

    For much of human history, light and darkness have operated entirely behind the scenes, causing either the movement forward of cultures and civilizations, or, alternatively, a cul de sac in which no further movement was possible.  The cosmic drama that lay behind this evolution became the stuff of myths and legends, but for the most part was not known to the collective consciousness of humanity.  This was not only because the religious institutions of the time did not make known the forces which operated to a humanity deemed not ready to receive such knowledge, but also because these forces chose to make themselves invisible, blending with the movement toward reason and enlightened thought that increasingly became part of man's movement to successfully master the world of physical reality, as well as the interior world of his own body and psyche.

     The force of darkness is, in its essence, a 'deceiver' and a manipulator of disguises.  Its primary tool is to masquerade as something else while at the same time seeking control of consciousness.  This deception is accompanied by an emphasis on what appears to the mind to be a reasonable and logical way of thinking, so that one has no way of countering the beliefs that are set forth to the mind.  The domain of the mind is the primary arena in which darkness seeks and can effectively gain a foothold.  However, man's being contains another domain which can become immune to the intervention of darkness, namely, the domain of the heart.

    In the presence of the heart's determination to love and to remain steadfastly in a place of love, darkness is rendered ineffective and can gain no entry.  For darkness and love are incompatible in essence, and so where one exists, the other cannot.  Therefore, in modern terms, in order to counteract the effect of the energies of darkness, it is essential to know how to remain aligned within the heart's love.

     To be steadfast in relation to love and in relation to the heart's truth is the key to defeating the intentionality of dark energies whether individually or collectively upon the planet.  Though light and darkness are both forces of Creation, light is inherently stronger, for it remains connected to the highest light and purpose of God which includes love, while darkness separates itself from this highest purpose and therefore remains only part of the Whole rather than the Whole itself.  For this reason, in the presence of steadfastness, the force of darkness can never hold sway for more than a limited period of time.  It cannot, because light is inherently stronger in its connection with the entirety of God's Creation and light.

     Though light and darkness have forever been players on the world scene, influencing human beings and human affairs in ways that we would consider positive or negative, their role as separated forces is about to undergo a revision that has not been part of human evolution before now.  With the advent of greater light upon the earth, the force of darkness manifesting upon the physical level shall become absorbed in the greater force of light, returning home to the original Unity from which it came.  Without the presence of this force operating in a widespread way as it has throughout history, mankind will step forward for the first time into a new era of light and of peace.  This is God's gift to an awakening humanity and to an earth that has waited for a long time for this to become possible and is now in transition to the next level of its spiritual unfoldment.

    May God bless the earth's transition into light, and may the forces of light everywhere find the means to victory over all that would perpetuate separation from the truth of the One God who is the Creator and Manifester of all.
