The Power Of Our Luminous Light

An Exploration of the Unseen World

We have great power. We have great power as individuals and we have even more power as a collective.

I would like to teach you a simple, powerful meditative practice that will expand our Light Collective. 

There are specific steps you can take to consciously expand your awareness of your luminous energy. With deepened awareness comes an increased awareness of our collective energy as we experience that energy joining with others to balance our world. Let me show you how to consciously expand our Luminous Light Energy. 

I’m Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and founder of the Deeper Song Community. I am a cosmic explorer who consciously travels into the unseen world to serve as a bridge to help us expand our relationship with the spiritual world. I share what I learn and guide those who are ready to the next level so we can sing a deeper song.  

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode of Reflections of a Deeper Song, we talk about The Power Of Our Luminous Light

It is important to know how to work with the Power Of Our Luminous Light because it raises our own vibration and it empowers us to make a difference in our world and in our lives and in and the lives of others. Raising our Luminous Light firmly establishes us in the Collective Consciousness that is raising the vibration of the entire planet. 

Find a quiet place in which to experience your Luminous Light where you will not be disturbed. This is a guided mediation.

We begin by centering ourselves. Become aware of the place four inches below your belly button. It is called the Tan Tien and it is the center of energy in your body, your chakra energy system. If you like, you can place your hands upon your abdomen but you can also just sit quietly and feel the energy expand from that Tan Tien place of power.  

Take a slow breath and breathe into your TanTien in your lower abdomen.  Feel it expand and quicken.  Let that energy radiate and expand.  Exhale.

Continue to breathe evenly and allow this inner light energy to become more intense.  Feel it radiate throughout your torso.  Let light energy fill your legs. Let light energy fill your arms and hands and fingers. Let light energy fill your head, the back of your head, your face, your crown, your third eye,  feel that energy fill your head.  Your whole body is tingling, your third eye is expanding. You become aware of your connection to the unseen worlds. Allow this core energy to expand until you feel you are radiating luminous energy –  light energy, vibrational energy from every pore in your body. Feel that pushing vibration radiate out. Feel that radiant energy create a golden circle around your entire body.

Now that we have centered our selves in our Tan Tien, the second step is to expand our light. 

With each exhale, feel your vibration strengthening in power and reach. Sit quietly and tingle and radiate energy from your entire body. As you align your whole being with the energy body created at your spiritual core, feel yourself heal and balance in your physical expression, feel your vibration increase in power as you heal and balance all levels of your body –  physical, emotional, spiritual. 

As you mindfully absorb your inner light, begin to extend that light into your room. Fill that room with your increasing,  vibrating light energy. Each corner, each object, absorbs the light and begins to radiate at a higher frequency. The whole room is humming with balanced energy.

Extend your radiating energy to the rest of your home. Extend your radiating energy to the land surrounding your home. Extend your radiating energy to your community. Extend your radiating energy to the world. Sit there in this amazing state of tingling vibration, feeling yourself  radiating, sharing your light energy, your radiant energy,  your spiritual energy with the entire planet.  

Firsts, we have centered our energy in our Tan Tien, we have raised our vibration within our body. Then we have sent that raised vibration out into the world.  The third step is to join our raised energy with the raised energy of others to increase the power of the collective field. 

It takes being light to see other lights. Now that you are were of our own raised vibration, you will easily recognize others who have raised theirs. 

Notice the other vibrating lights nearby.  They may be colored. They may be iridescent. They may be pulsing. They may be steady. 

Consciously and intentionally begin to join your radiating light with theirs until the entire group of luminous lights encircles the earth and the layer of light grows deeper and thicker as more luminous lights join in. 

Then just be.  Be that vibration. Be pure light. Know that you are a part of a global and galactic healing that is taking place by the simple act of being aware of being light, raising that light, and consciously radiating light in tote world.   Feel your power increase as you join your energy with others in this powerful and ever-expanding field of light energy  

Sit there as long as you like.

When you are ready, know that your light still radiates at this tiger frequency, even as you gradually bring your attention back to an awareness of the existence of your body. Return your focus to your Tan Tien.  Sit there and radiate out your expanded light field, your own Luminous Light.

You can access your Luminous Light any time.  Once you establish your awareness of your luminous light body it will become easier to access in more conscious moments. 

The steps are: 

  • Establish your awareness of the luminous light within you and raise your vibration. 
  • Radiate your energy body into the world. You join with others doing the same, each raised light expanding the growing power of the collective consciousness. 
  • You experience everything as one.  One energy. One spiritual essence. One All That Is.

Slowly bring your awareness back into your body and notice how you feel.  You have just expanded your Luminous Light 

This is how we change our world. This is how we change our future.  By raising our vibration and  radiating light. We don’t direct our energy field.  We simply radiate and expand our vibration and those who are ready, when they are ready, will recognize that vibration within themselves and consciously join their light with ours, their vibration with ours.  And the light field of illumined energy will grow stronger and brighter.  

Take this Luminous Light Journey every day. This is our collective energy body, core light, whole light, and it will attract others to join with it in wholeness – on all levels – in your body and in your Invisible self.  Your aura extends 22 feet from your body so as you radiate you will be sharing your light with all you pass on the physical plane.

That is how we heal the world.  This is how we heal ourselves.

Radiate Luminous Light – every day.

  • I hope I brought you some new awareness, deeper ways to connect and insights and encouragement for your next steps. 
  • Pause to be with what we have explored.  See what portals have opened up for you.  Where you will go exploring next.  This is a Journey of Discovery and we walk this part of the path together.

Positioning Your Gifts in the New Consciousness

September 13, 2020 By Cara Lumen

Positioning Your Gifts in the New Consciousness

Insights oF a Deeper Song


Ashe
(“Ah-Shay”)
The Creative in me honors the Creative in you!

\We get to rethink everything we take for granted. We have to get creative and innovative and imaginative. The world will never go back.  We can never go back.  And that is a good thing.  

What do we want to create?  Who do we want to support?  

This is a time for deep introspection. 

This is a time for expansive creative exploration. 

I particularly want to address this to those of us who have the freedom of retirement in the next 20 years.  It is a time of tremendous creativity and adventure. 

We have new tools and techniques to learn to use in order to make the most of this next opportunity. 

First, you choose an area of interest and then you go exploring. A Deeper Song Member who is looking at retirement has powerful gifts to explore.  She is an imaginative and expressive writer and she has a depth of knowledge in both horticulture and music.  She has strong gifts to cultivate. As she pr press for retirement, She gets to go exploring to discover how she might share those gifts.  Ans she will want to explore some of the available technology – like video. Or children’s books, or…

I don’t know which comes first, the idea or the technology.  I think they become intertwined in the doing.  For instance, the podcast format has added an experience of intimate sharing that I do not have with my posts.  And using only my voice, rather than going to video, allows the listener to use his or her own imagination to enrich the listening.  So sometimes the form in which you offer your gifts helps form the content and structure of your offering. 

And you MUSt have an offering, a place of service.  I watch the seniors in this center gradually be allowed to return to well-distanced bingo, but the pot lucks are not allowed for now.  What ARE they doing?  You do want to find a way to feel you are in service. And in this age of the internet, you are guaranteed to find like-minded people with whom to share your passion.

Bring those gifts and hobbies up into the light and see where they fit into your future.  Look at what you always wanted to do but put off and go do that.  

This is an era of change in which we are being asked to step forward with our best self, our most creative, innovative self and offer our gifts to the New Consciousness. 

What is calling you?  What form will you experiment with first?

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION
I open myself up to identify a gift I have that is needed in the New Consciousness. 

DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

  • Make a list of things you wish you knew how to do and go exploring.
  • Look at some tutorials on recording a podcast or a video, or posting a book on Amazon. Look at online class formats and how-to videos.  Identify the format you want to learn first. Then learn it enough so the technical part is not in the way of your self-expression ad make an informed decision if you want to use it in your work. 
  • Take one of your passions and the form you like to work in and create something. 
  • You have begun.  Keep going.

Inner Work
UNDERSTAND YOUR CALLING

I’ve been speaking to a few Deeper Song members who are in their 60’s and retirement is coming up for them.  I just remember what Chris Brown said to me five years ago when I was 82, -“What are you going to do with the next 30 years?”  

It’s interesting to look at your life in 30-year blocks of time an to get to a point where you get to live the next 30 years in pretty much the way you’d like it to be creatively.

I have two words of advice.  Keep your body in shape and go exploring…

If you don’t have to earn an income,  the whole world is open to you. If you have an entrepreneurial bent, ditto.  
So there are several questions you need to ask yourself.

  • Do I want to work with other people or work alone?
  • Do I want to work with beginner or advanced?
  • Of all the interests I have, what calls to me most right now?
  • What skills do I need to learn and can I begin to learn them now?

That’s just a place to begin.  As you explore you will change your mind.  And the beautiful thing is, if you are not focused on bringing in income, you get to do exactly what you want to do. In my case I get to write about what I want to learn.   And my podcasts are nurturing my soul.

There is one other step.  How do you want to share with others what you are going to do next?

Posts, podcasts, videos, Zoom groups, offering your work online – art, books ,music.  You do want to offer what you create.  You have no idea whose heart you will touch, whose life you will affect when you offer your heart’s message to the world. 

I think it’s important to give away some of what you create in this wonderful, open period of exploration you are undertaking. The response you receive will begin to tell what resonates.  When you know you are touching the lives of others it warms your heart and makes you appreciate your own value in the world.

In retirement, you will be given a gift of time – time to explore and discover and share what you learn.  

Your retirement years are meant to be productive – an acute time of exchanging energy with others on your path.  What are you going to do with your next 30 years?

Outer Work
MONEY MANAGEMENT

20 years ago in a talk given in my woman’s group in Santa Rosa, California, a financial member suggested we have two savings accounts.  One to save up for large yearly payments and emergencies and a second one not to be touched.  Sort of a hidden asset account.  

As I was rearranging my money this month I realized that the first account that saves up for yearly payments and unexpected expenses represents safety, it is meant to be used for both the planned and the unexpected.  

The second account is for security. I put something in it every month. It may also come to represent  puree self-indulgence at some point…

The first month after my divorce when I alone was responsible for caring for my children, I ran out of food money. We literally put water on our cereal.  From then on I wrote out my weekly food checks in advance and knew that I could only spend that much that week.  

Now I use a spreadsheet to plan or my savings and my spending but the budgeting is the same.  I have a plan for what will be needed and saving goals for yearly bills.  Then I have my “dealer’s choice” savings account.

What kind of a financial handing system do you want to put into place? Give some thought to how your needs have changed and what you need to do to stay safe.

***
HOW DO THE GEESE KNOW?

I heard geese flying south this week, honking loudly as they flew over. Going where it is warmer for the winter.  How do they know?  Does their inner clock say this is a new season, time for a change?

How am I to get ready for the winter months? It is a time for shorter days, warmer clothes, and perhaps more contemplating. That works.

When I was a young wife and mother I loved to garden and each winter I would pour over the seed catalogs to see what I wanted to plant in the spring. I even started seeds indoors to get an early start. I loved doing that planning  So what if we each paused right now to look over our personal seed catalog for possibilities to see what we want to plant in the next growing season? What would you order?

I would order a willingness to move my body more. Whether that has to come in some new excise video I discover online or a daily use of my walking sticks, I will have to decide.  But I will put that intention on my pending order. Perhaps I will order several varieties of movement.

I would like to be surprised in the coming season.  It may be something I learn, a new skill I acquire, a new friend I meet.  I will plant a package of surprise seeds and see what I get.

And then there are the old favorites, the perennials if you will.  My writing has matured into podcasts.  My newsletter is now archived on my web site.  I have started a new weekly inspiration note. I have a strong group of friends who nurture and support ad interest me.  I’ll take good care of those. 

The geese know.  They know it is a time for contemplation, for looking at what worked and what didn’t, to know what to leave behind and what to carry with them.   

The geese seem to know it is a change of seasons. What will change for you? 

***
OUR GLOBAL DEPER SONG

I am both touched and honored by your presence. You come from all over the planet and as I receive a notice of each new Deeper Song Member and where you are from I wonder how you found me and I am very glad you did.  We are a global community.  As we each work to raise our vibration we are connecting more strongly with each other and we keep deepening the layer of light energy that we are offering our planet. Our collective work is powerful. Our individual work creates change.  I am honored to be a place holder for us to come together in deep, deep service. Together we create change.

***
THE POWER OF PERSISTENCE

I needed to figure out how to do one thing – make the control edition screen in Garage Band bigger so I could see to edit my podcast.  I made it bigger before and every thought I have crib sheets for the editing shortcuts, I didn’t have this one on it.  I had no choice but to figure it out because I could not see to edit the waveforms. 

I spent nearly 30 minutes looking at tutorials and reading the help library in GarageBand, and I greatly wished I could remember how to make that portion of the screen bigger.

So I persisted.  I was not angry, or upset, just dogged determined.  

And of course, when I found it, it was very, very, very simple – Command, Control, and Arrow up or down…I know that.  We all know that. I had just not made the connection to use that in GarageBand. 

But this is about persistence – whatever it is within you that makes you keep going, keep looking,  keep trying.  It’s a good quality to have.  It will solve lots of your problems and strengthen your journey.

Don’t give up.

OUR EVOLVING FUTURE

We all agreed to come into this lifetime in order to do specific jobs – to be part of the evolving landscape.  I’m not sure any of us expected it to be this dramatic. But we are up to the task.  We are stepping forward. We are raising our vibration and bringing others with us. 

This week I launched a new offering – Mindful Moments – an opportunity for you to pause and go within and simply be.  All our answers lay within – in our most inner knowing.  

As this new era evolves, we will be shown our role and how we are to begin to put those steps into place.   First, we work on our self. Then that change begins to radiate out to the awareness of others and they see in themselves the opportunity to change 

Keep radiating out your highest vibration.  That will change our world.

THE REFLECTING POOL
“Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop” – Rumi

As we move into fall it is a powerful time to connect with nature – how she lets go of what is no longer needed, how she lets seeds drop to the gourd to come alive in the spring.  It is a time for releasing, a time of letting ideas marinate and ripen. 

Look for beliefs you might leave behind.  Look for projects that could use a little distance on them in order to take them to their next level. But most of all, leave behind anything that no longer serves you –  beliefs ideas, grudges, fears, Just put them down., leave them behind  The path will be easier without them.

CARA’S CORNER
THE POWER OF BEING ECLECTIC

I unexpectedly had an email exchange with a friend about plants and I realized I know a great deal about plants and was once an enthusiastic gardener.  And the world eclectic came to mind. It means a “broad and diverse range of sources.” “Extensive, comprehensive” are other words to describe eclectic.   

It means I’ve been an enthusiastic explorer of many of things all my life. And have had a very good time doing it. 

Curiosity has been a cornerstone of my life accompanied by enthusiasm and a love of learning.  Add to that my gift of seeing the overview and it allows me to make some interesting philosophical connections.  

Pause a moment and perhaps make a list of all the things you have explored in your lifetime.  It’s not about being good at it, it’s about exploring it, experiencing it, trying it out.  

I had a horse of my own during high school.  I have shown a Kerry Blue Terrier to his championship.  I organized a Picture Lady program so well in my school district that the Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City took it on as a project.  I have been a copywriter and a television talent. I have been in plays. And I worked with a lot of men with AIDS in NYC when the epidemic first began.  I learned to make silver jewelry and clay sculptures in NYC. And I taught Reiki to lots of people. 

All of the varied things you have done in your life have contributed to who you are today. 

A story popped into my mind just now.  When I was ten or twelve or so, my mother took m sister and me blackberry picking.  It was NOT fun because the bushes were scratchy.  I complained. My mother said, “It builds character.” So a lot of things we do are simply meant to help build a frame of reference, an experience upon which to base future decisions.  We like it, we don’t like it. It is easy. It is hard.  You don’t know until you go exploring. 

What are you willing to explore this month that you have never tried before but would like to experience?  

Go do that.

A DEEPER SONG

Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript of a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face. 
The universe it not outside of you
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want, you are already that.”
– Rumi

Keep singing a deeper song.

Namaste,

Cara

The Power of Your Imagination

December 12, 2018 By Cara Lumen

The Power of Your Imagination
An Inner World Exploration

Where do ideas come from?  They show up as wisps of an idea or a picture floating around in our imagination, or a single word that catches our attention. We seem to have the ability to capture them and organize them into a form of communication. 

As I was listening to some classical music I wondered how a person can hear all those different parts played by all those different instruments and write them down so someone else can hear them and understand them and perform them? Many composers of classical music don’t always even get to hear their work performed. They just write from their intuition and know what it sounds like. 

Truly amazing. 

What are you doing with your imagination?

I’m sitting here writing because I just listened to some classical music and I marveled, as I often do, at how the composer knew how to put all those parts together.  So I write to figure out how that might happen. 

That’s where ideas come from, wisps in our imagination.  I had an experience, it sparked a question, and that question becomes a commentary or an insight or something for us to think about. 

Ideas are like wisps of light

I see myself as surrounded by wisps of light, each one an idea for me to consider, to pluck from the air, to explore and develop and possibly share.  Not all are mine to do, but they’re certainly mine to explore if I’m drawn to them.

I see ideas as those sudden “a-ha’s” that people get that say, “Let’s do it this way”, and the idea or insight makes them move off in an entirely unexplored direction. 

How do you capture a wisp?

To capture these wisps, you must pay attention.  Then you figure out what you need to do in order to capture them, work with them, adjust them, or combine them.  You take a wisp of an idea and explore its possibilities.  

When an idea that appeals to me floats by, I grab it and rush to my computer to figure out what it means to me, here and now, as a human and as a spiritual being.  I write in order to sort it out for myself.  Sometimes what I write is shared with others, sometimes it’s merely foundational exploration I later expand upon.  

Stop to listen

If you don’t listen, you won’t hear.  If you don’t look, you won’t see.  Do you take time to observe? Do you take time to consider?  What do you do with what you discover?  Do you try it on in your own life?  Or do you brush it aside and keep going in the direction you were already headed?

Your imagination creates your world

Our thoughts create our reality. We have great control over our thoughts.  Thus we have great control over our life experience. 

Someone says something, and how you interpret that in your imagination influences how you respond.  You are moving along steadily in one direction when your imagination flies in and says, “Look at the great possibilities over here.”  The choice you make in that moment, to hear or not hear, to explore or not explore, shapes your life experience.  For better or worse. 

Invite your imagination to step forward

The more you practice listening to your imagination, the more you’ll hear, and the more accurate will be your interpretation.  I’m sitting here ready to write this next sentence waiting for my imagination to make a suggestion for me to consider.  There have been several thoughts and I get to choose.  

What I choose determines what you read next, what you understand, what insights you’re given that are influential in how you change your life.  

All because I sit here and wait. And see what thoughts show up, and then choose.

Give your imagination time and space

My imagination usually interrupts me with a loud voice, nearly shouting the idea at me.  Sometimes it lets the idea simmer with small gentle nudges until the idea becomes clear.  And sometimes it outlines a series of steps that enable me to get the full picture.  Give your imagination space and time to express itself.

Then pay attention.  And explore what you’re offered.  

Imagination is a powerful gift and a great guide.

The Destructive Power of Negative Thought – on Others

November 28, 2018 By Cara Lumen

The Destructive Power of Negative Thought – on Others
An Inner World Exploration

Like many metaphysicians, Shamans believe that thoughts are things. Sometimes part of their work is to transform the negative thoughts that are causing illness in their body.

Where do negative thoughts come from?

If negative thoughts make you sick, where do they come from?  The first place to look is within yourself, the negative affirmations you’re giving yourself.

But what blew my mind, what sent me rushing to write this article, is that my negative thoughts can cause illness in someone else.  

Wow.  Bummer.  I need to monitor that. 

How you see others affects them

I’ve just gone through a rather judgmental period of watching my sister move and finding her ineffectiveness annoying. She is very harmful to herself with phrases like “I’m scared, I can’t do that, I can’t learn that, I don’t know how to do that.”  All of these are extremely damaging.  

But what struck me the most is that my thoughts of seeing her as ineffective were helping hold her in that place of ineffectiveness as well.  

Now, I don’t run around thinking negative thoughts as a rule but… Well, I’ve had to work hard at looking for my own feelings of inclusiveness (we’re all one light) and eliminating my own negativity (we’re all one light).

If you look at someone with pity, you hold them in a place where they feel themselves as deserving pity.  When you look at someone as being wrong, you increase the separation you both feel. When you see someone as sick, your thoughts help hold them in the place of sickness. How you see others is very, very powerful. 

We need to examine our own thoughts in order to encourage positive change. 

I have to transform my thoughts

How do I do that? How do I change my thinking? I’ve begun to look for and see love and light and illumination everywhere.  In the troubled places. In the scared places, in the desperate places, in the angry places.  I need to choose to see light everywhere.  Radiant light, the light of wholeness, the light of oneness, the light that is all we each are. 

It may take some practice.

I can transform negativity with my mind

I have to make some decisions. I get to monitor what I allow myself to focus on. 

For instance, one newscaster seems to put more drama and angst in his reporting.  I now listen to the one who calmly relates the happenings of the day.  I love PBS news because they clearly report both sides so fairly.  However, I also love to watch the late night shows.  Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers are my favorites.  Their jokes are relevant and intelligent and right on – for me.  I have to look at what that focus does with my version of spreading light into the world.  It’s not that it’s dark humor, it’s that they focus on what is not working in the world.

What we focus on, we get more of…

If I just sit here radiating light, I will not know what’s going on and what to focus light on.  On one hand, that’s just fine, because light to the planet is light to the planet, it goes everywhere and heals what is open to be healed.  

Are they open to be healed?

What if someone doesn’t want to be healed?  What if someone is just fine with being angry and judgmental?  

Well, that’s their choice.  

What I can do is shine my light so that anyone who’s looking can see it and bring it into their life.  No judgment. No anger.  Just healing, wholing, radiant light.  

Change your thinking, change your life

If you begin at this very moment to monitor and destroy all your negative thoughts, your life will change.  Clear out the sabotaging beliefs you send yourself. Look closely at what thoughts you send out into the world.  

There’s a television news host in my area who invites “rants.”  It’s really the worst idea I’ve ever seen because it helps people focus on being judgmental and critical. It’s very negative energy to put out into our world. (Maybe I should write a rant about the… No, see, my negative input would simply add negative input.  Light.  I have to radiate light and let it go where it’s needed.)

See the goodness

If you can find some inherent goodness in a situation or a person, focus on that.  It’ll change you, and it’ll change their reaction that comes to you.  Instead of spending time in your day talking about what does not work, spend more time focusing on a discussion of what does work.  

Change your focus, change your life.  

Feel the energy of negative thought

I can literally feel anger.  When I’m around people expressing anger, I have to leave their company because it physically hurts my body.  

I wonder what negativity I unconsciously allow into my life that’s harmful and non-supportive.  I’ve got to look out for that. 

Think of your thoughts as light

If you begin to think of all your thoughts as beams of light, then you’ll also notice that some are brighter and more luminous than others.  That’s what you want to send.  Not dull, negative thoughts.  They do not help our world raise its consciousness.  They do not help us heal ourselves.  

Notice your thoughts.  Monitor them.  Change them.  

Positive thoughts will change you.

Journeys of a Spiritual Heart

November 21, 2018 By Cara Lumen

Journeys of a Spiritual Heart
An Inner World Exploration

The words were given to me in a shamanic journey – “journeys of a spiritual heart”.  That’s what my work is, an inner search into the realms within and a return with guidance and insights that will enrich and deepen the spiritual lives of those who see my light.

The spiritual heart is expansive

The spiritual heart covers everything – all of nature, all of the planet, the universe, all beings, including the smallest microbe.  The spiritual heart includes it all and permeates it all.

The spiritual heart is inclusive

As a human in a body suit, I have to practice using my spiritual heart because it is inclusive – inclusive of everyone and everything. As a human, I can’t always do that. That doesn’t mean I have to move to a lower level; it simply means I must shine my inner light brighter and stronger and longer so that someone who is searching can see a ray of light and bring it into their own heart. What they do with it then is their choice.  But my light, and that of others like me, will always be there for guidance.  And hope.

Practice using your spiritual heart

In a quiet place, every day, sit with your spiritual heart.  Feel it.  Let it radiate into your body until you’re filled with light.  Let it move into the room where you are, to the land you are on, the community where you live and … you get the picture – sit there and shine and shine and shine, allowing your light to increase, to become stronger and more far-reaching.  Every day.  Practice radiating.  Practice shining the light of your spiritual heart out into your world. 

It will join with others to deepen and broaden the spiritual light that comes from other spiritual hearts who are radiating through the world.  

Be light.  You are light.  Radiate it out to share with the world.
