Sandstone Wall, Antelope Canyon, Arizona by Dennis Flaherty
\n(August section of Inner Reflections 2012 Calendar from the Self-Realization Fellowship.)<\/p>\n

“Darkness may reign in a cave for thousands of years, but bring in the light, and the darkness vanishes as though it had never been.\u00a0 Similarly, no matter what your defects, they are yours no longer when you bring in the light of goodness.”<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paramahansa Yogananda<\/p>\n


\nThis is an incredible world of wonders we live in.\u00a0 Even now, with all of the challenges and turmoil, with darkness, killing sprees and greed, the LIGHT is still here and can illuminate the darkness and transform the world.\u00a0 The choice is yours every moment!\u00a0 Is it important enough for you to follow your greatest good deep inside your being or to follow the selfish and hurtful pattern of your conditioning?<\/span><\/p>\n

Every moment is a choice and opportunity for goodness and love.
\nThere is a way in each situation, circumstance or relationship to let your light shine.
\nIt is the Power of Truth, it is the Power of Acknowledgement.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are people around you right now who need your love and your light.
\nIt can be unspoken in just your energy and being.
\nIt can be in your actions or in your eyes.
\nKindness is a language the whole world understands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be very clear that it is available every moment and you have the power and the freedom to choose it.<\/span>
\n Although the temptation of selfishness or getting what you want is seductive, you can overcome it when you give everything you have to follow the light<\/strong>.\u00a0 The most difficult patterns to overcome require everything you have to not succumb to them and to follow a different path, the path of light and love<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We live in the computer age and they are a wonderful tool.
\nBut, text messages and emails are not the best way to share feelings and have relationships.
\nFind a way to do it live, on the phone, in person……give yourself and the people around you the greatest gift – your presence, your energy, and your beingness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our world is so fast pace, people forget to be here in the moment and let their light shine fully.<\/span>
\nThe light of awareness, the light of love, the light of God is within each of us.<\/span>
\nLet it shine, let it shine, let it shine!<\/span><\/p>\n

smiles,<\/span>
