There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.

I feel like I’ve been hiding… not letting my true self shine through. Know the feeling? I want to be the brilliant star I know I’m meant to be (– that we’re all meant to be –), yet at the same time I’m not entirely sure how to do that.

Maybe I’ve been hesitant to show my true self more often because so much of our society values neat presentations of people with all their shit together, with the perfect body, the perfect career, the perfect partner, the perfect home, the perfect family, etcetera etcetera. If we looked closer, though, I’m pretty sure we’d find some sort of hairline fractures or cracks that permeate such so-called perfect surfaces.

“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in” ~Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen’s famous lyric tells us, “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” I wonder though, if perhaps, that’s how the light gets out.

Do you try to seal and hide such cracks? Or do you encourage them to crack further until your outer exterior shell cracks open and breaks away? A baby chick could not be born without first cracking and breaking through its shell. Consciously creating bigger cracks in the presentation of one’s exterior or present self could give way to breaking through to higher levels of growth and evolution.

I suspect my path to realizing my brilliant self has to do with cracking my heart open and sharing it with the world, being as vulnerable and authentic as I can possibly be, not worrying or caring too much about what others may or may not think, loving myself with fierce and radical confidence, being brave enough to potentially make a fool of myself but not giving a damn anyway, embracing all my flaws and imperfections, and loving and appreciating the heck out of everyone and everything — even the so-called shit people and things.

It has taken us approximately 13.82 billion years to get here, now. (Although, since time is relative, in a way it doesn’t even make sense to think of time in such absolute measurable units.) …What’s the best way to make use of one’s Life?

The one message I feel is most important to share and express is a message of love and oneness — particularly oneness. We’re all part of a greater whole. I think it’s important we never forget this. Inside is outside is inside, like a 4d cube. We’re infinite reflections upon reflections.

…What do you see?
…What do you *want* to see?

A Note to Self: A Reminder of Love

Something I’ll do from time to time is write letters or notes to myself. It’s kind of like automatic writing, I suppose. I don’t know exactly how it works, but it feels like when I write in this way, it’s like I’m tapping into a place of higher wisdom. After time has passed and I stumble upon one of these notes that I wrote to myself in the past, I’m often surprised to realize these words came out of me!

Maybe I’m tapping into something connecting to the greater whole, something that binds us to All That Is. Maybe it’s intuition. Maybe it’s my imagination. Whatever it is, I quite enjoy writing from this place.

Since I usually find these “Letters to Self” helpful, I thought perhaps others might find such notes helpful as well, and so I thought I might as well share them. …If we really are all one on some level, then anything I write to and for myself might also be seen as writing to and for you, too!

I hope these words find you well and lift you up in some way.

With greatest love,

Dearest Self,

You are loved.

You are also limitless.

Don’t let perceived limitations get you down.

The key is to always remember you are LOVE (and you are ONE, for love and oneness are two facets of the same crystaline jewel).

Love yourself, love your inherent oneness to/with others and your piece in the greater whole.

A cancer cell infects other cells, like a virus.

Be the polar opposite of a cancer cell… you are a cell of light.

Regular healthy cells are relatively neutral.

You can be a cell of light in that your nature, your love, your light can be infectious and spread light, healing, awareness, love, purity of purpose and joy to others.

All there is is love (as the Beatles song goes), so recognize the great inherent power in that love.

Share your love. Embody your love.

And you will embody great power.

…For there is no greater power beyond that of love.
