This Week’s Quotation:

Your Being begins in oneness. It begins in pure, unitary awareness. This is the sun nature that is you at your core. But you were not content to be just this one thing. You, as unitary awareness, are activating the deep of your Being, which is the unformed substance of creation. These are the waters of your Being.

~ Becoming a Sun p. 69

The Eye of the Beholder: Radiant Vision

Let yourself imagine being in the presence of a newborn child—the sense of marvel, magic, and joy that overtakes you. How natural and automatic it is to remark that this child is perfect! The promise inside this child permeates our being and radiates out through our eyes into our world.

And so it is with anything that is born into our world—a poem, an art project, a relationship, a visit to a new place. Even though we may have been working on our project for some time, the birth of it in full form takes our breath away! Who could have imagined such beauty and perfection?

In these times of beginnings, when we are open and eager to see this miracle of new life without preconceived notions, we are in our pure, unitary awareness…activating the unformed substance of creation…the waters of [our] Being. In this place, all is possible, and creative potential is unlimited.

What if we could live each moment as a new beginning, a culmination of all that has come before in our lives? Without judgment? What if we were willing to be fully, creatively, mindfully, and emotionally present to the perfection that is inherent in our nature, and the potential within it? Can we let the sun nature that is our core playfully interact with the waters of our Being?

This creative field is our playground. In it lives the unformed substance that would fulfill the promise we carry within ourselves as we are reborn in each moment. Let it be reflected in our radiant vision!

What does it mean to become a sun?

Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
