The teachings in the passage that begins "Ye are the light of the world" reminds us that there is something greater than the small self -- something more than the body that you see when you look in the mirror, than the thoughts you hear in your mind.     This teaching encourages us to remember that there is something greater -- a power, an intelligence, a presence -- that can guide us, strengthen us, and teach us, so that all that we might do, we might do greater.   We can accomplish so much more, calling upon that presence, than we can by our own human power alone. Therefore, the light within us can shine so much more brightly, when we let in that greater light, which is the divine self.   (Otherwise known as: Great Spirit, God, Tao, Brahman, Allah, All That Is, and so on -- that Great Self, of which each one of us is but a part.)   The teaching says: let the light within you shine so brightly, that others around you will also feel inspired. And, so that they will remember that Great Self, that divine light, of which they too are part, and can call on for help, for guidance, and for love, forgiveness.     May all remember their connection to the Light of divine self.         ...More about doing greater things with the help of the divine self can be found on the following pages: A Spiritual Approach to Life & How Y'Gonna Make A Dream Come True   Back To Soul Light Send us some email!
