When writing of spiritual development, it helps to find simple analogies to give perspective to deeper esoteric principals. With that in mind, I ask you to please consider the humble light bulb.
In essence there are two forms working together.
The physical structure that gives it a real-world presence and the energetic component of light.
An outer shell – and an inner life force. Sound familiar?
Let’s explore the concept further. In the beginning there was only one design of light bulb. As society has advanced in technology and scope, newer designs are now available and are proving to be advantageous. (Whether they direct light in a more efficient way, are more economical to run, or simply last longer.) The light bulb as a physical structure is continuing to evolve and grow for our betterment.
But a light bulb by itself serves no purpose. It only provides benefit when it comes to life. When a light bulb is filled with light, it can radiate its energy to the world around it. For this to happen, the bulb first needs to connect with something greater than itself. It uses the electricity grid to reach a source of power.
Now let’s bring this comparison full circle – human beings and spirit. Our bodies are the outer shell and our life force radiates to the world around us. We are here to make the world a better place, but can do so in our own unique ways.
Some, with a great connection to the source may stand tall and shine brightly, lighting the lives of many. While others may spend their time exploring the deep shadows and focus their light on the path of someone who really needs a hand.
We all have physical bodies, of varied design and stage of evolution. We all have a life force, or energy, that we use to direct our efforts. Understanding they are two distinctively different forms’ working as one gives greater understanding to our time here on Earth.
We are told to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly for a healthy body. It is not as common to discuss what do to for a healthy spirit. Meditation is an ancient technique for tapping into a greater power, giving perspective to our existence, and allowing us to live each day as a light for others.
Guided meditation is the simplest way to experience these sensations, as the guide takes you through the process step by step to achieve your goals.
Do all you can for your physical health, and do all you can to shine brightly.
Daily meditation helps your light shine brighter. I loved your light bulb/light analogy. I am writing my blog to share daily tools that people can use to find that inner light, I call the universal spirit within. I am always looking for inspiration for my blog. I would love your feedback or comments. Very beautifully done with your site.

We serbs believe in God. That helps us to live in the worst conditions. We had wars too much. But after wars we try to made our living better than it was. We work with pray God. We iniciate our work to him. Our soul with time of working for all planet in honour of God become so bright. We have crystals in our soul. Now, we have rivers who change routs and made so much trouble to us. We help each other, with no money for that. In that sitution, when we work and help each other, God helps us. Thats our pray and meditation. We got light in our soul. Zorica.
