Be Free of Shadows
When I opened the Soulful Sparks Calendar on the page for this week, I was pleasantly surprised. Be free of shadows, says the title. And the image is a gentle play of light and shadows, of fresh spring blossoms and old wooden house in the countryside of Slovenia, Europe. Someone took care to paint the window frames sky blue and put on soft white curtains. I can imagine a cozy room inside, for the Soul to contemplate, like a butterfly in its cocoon. Then the fledgling flutters the wings and shares its beauty with the nature outside....

Birds are happy, chirping away in the backyard, even in Brooklyn, NYC: “It’s springtime. Let’s have fun.” Play is important. But why do I feel reluctant to engage in this essential human activity? Merriam Webster’s definition of the verb to play reads: “To engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation, rather than a serious or practical purpose.” I understand play as a carefree mélange of curiosity, laughter, and movement. The key word is “carefree”. I prefer to play by myself, when I remember to do it. Why? Because I tend to feel that I’ll...

Everything has its reason. We just have to look for it. The answer may be clear cut and simple, or a bit vague and complex. Here’s my question: Why is Easter on the first Sunday after the first full Moon after the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere? Spring and autumn complement each other: they exist at the same time in the Earth’s North and South, enriching the planet. What if jumping with joy and falling with sadness enable us to find the rich balance within ourselves as human beings? The Spring Equinox is the moment of the perfect...

We deserve love and comfort on every level. All of us. This is the most important thing to know, and believe, and embrace. Nobody and nothing ever deserves pain and suffering, of any kind. The experience of pain exists only to alert us that we’ve veered off the smooth path. Suffering is a consequence of our belief, mostly subconscious, that we deserve pain. It’s a powerful illusion of the material plane. But the truth is that we are all made of the same essential particles: Light and Love. Yet… the pain is real, the suffering...

I don’t understand human life. Do you? Does anyone? We are searching… in the dark, groping for straws to hold onto. But then again, perhaps I do comprehend what’s going on… Science has uncovered many laws in Nature. We know that the Sun will rise each morning, and set each evening. We know that a seed needs to get proper nutrients to grow into a tree. We know that a baby will be born in nine months, if all goes well. We know that all living creatures will die one day. If human beings were nothing more than biologically advanced apes,...

Often we try so hard to fit into our physical bodies and daily obligations that we forget who we are. “You don’t have a soul, YOU ARE A SOUL. You have a body,” writes C.S. Lewis. It brought me to tears when I saw this quote for the first time. We are a soul, each one of us. It’s not that we have a soul, it’s the body that we have. You are a SOUL that has a habit of the physical body, this particular physical body that you have right now, in the current earthly incarnation. Yes, life is an adventure, as I’m sure we’ve all heard before. But...

Do you dare to face the Truth? The initial glance may be awkward: you need to have the strength to maintain the focus for a while, and then the door opens. Yes, it’s uncomfortable to learn that a vicious battle has been going on for ages in the Spirit worlds, including the human realms. Yes, the Eternal Light shall prevail, although the forces of darkness are perpetuating the conflict, pushing the ultimate victory of Light further into the future. Don’t be misled by the terminology though. The adversaries can stare at you in the middle of a...

The basic recipe for happiness is very simple: When in doubt, open to the Light, and you shall receive clarity. When in pain, open to the Light, and you shall be embraced with Love. It works, but… somehow we just don’t manage to follow the advice. Why? I always like to go back to observing the processes in Nature, and find solace in the insights I gain. There’s day and there’s night, and sometimes the Sun and the Stars disappear behind the condensed masses of vapors floating in the atmosphere. Water is essential for living...
